Give it a try. crackling chemistry between the leads, but I felt that it got repetitious. The actors are all good looking, there's some interesting bad guys, some familiar actors, but one thing that got old for me was the lead female acted very vain. She was like "I know I'm great/beautiful etc" matched with a constant smirk. Would have been better with maybe 10 less episodes. Still give it a try, other people seem to like it. I dropped it 2/3 through.
If you aren't sure if you should watch it, give it a try. The storyline is a bit different, and the female lead is independent, quirky, funny. The writers made her cry a little too much, but I just fast forwarded on that. It wasn't alot but was too much. ˙ǝlqɐǝʞᴉl ǝlʇʇᴉl ɐ ʇsɐǝl ʇɐ ǝɹǝʍ ʎǝɥʇ ɟᴉ ɹǝʇʇǝq ǝq plnoʍ ʇᴉ 'sǝloɹ ǝʌᴉʇɐƃǝu pǝʎɐld ɥʇoq ʎǝɥʇ ɥƃnoɥʇ uǝʌƎ ˙ƃunʎW ʞooS ssǝɔuᴉɹԀ puɐ oS ᴉſ ɹǝɥʇoW uǝǝnQ ǝɥʇ ɹoɟ ƃuᴉʇɔɐ ǝɥʇ ǝʞᴉl ʇou pᴉp I
I stopped in the middle of Cinderella and Four Knights. it was not bad but it did run out of gas all of a sudden. And I got tired of her face lol sorry. At first she was cute bit it got annoying.
*Update: I'm up to ep 11 now, this is WAY better than the first Bad Guys. This one is serious, very intense, drama all the way. Intense is the word. I started off watching for actor Kim Mu Yeol - he's perfect for intense roles. Last time he was in a drama was 2015, in "My Beautiful Bride". Loved him in movie "War of Arrows", one of my favorite Korean movies, re-watched half a dozen times at least. PS, the OSTs are beautiful.
thank you, I've wanted to see this. Also really appreciate seeing Chinese dramas with english, it's made me really appreciate China, even the fantasy dramas.
It "ran out of gas" for me at Episode 6. I just couldn't do it anymore. I wanted to like this. I tried to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the drama but lost interest. Not saying others won't like it, it just wasn't for me. I also didn't care for the character of the female lead.
It's on Netflix in the US now. I love it! Very enjoyable, and satisfying. This is a different kind of story from the usual but it has the elements of Justice (and injustice), Loyalty, Brotherhood, and Perseverance. The lead character, Kim Je Hyuk never gives up. That's what sets him apart from the crowd. 10/10 for me
i had put this on hold for about 2 weeks because i was thinking if i'm ready for this kind of drama. but then…
It's amazing, unforgettable. And I replayed part of Episode 42 several times. The OST s are amazing too. I've forgotten many dramas but this one still sticks in my memory, and I watched it when it first came out.
UPDATE. Choi was never pregnant. There was no baby. Jan 23 2018 Prosecutors seek a sentence of 1 year and 4 months in jail for Kim Hyun Joong's ex-girlfriend: "Prosecutors are seeking a jail sentence for Kim Hyun Joong's ex-girlfriend. They are seeking a sentence of 1 year and 4 months for 'A' for attempted fraud. They took into account that 'A' forged her texts about pregnancy, that there are traces of tempering and editing on her photo of the pregnancy test, as well as the suing Kim Hyun Joong even though her claims that she had a miscarriage from violence were false. They also stated that her interviewing with media saying she had miscarried from assault was a strict case of spreading false information."
I agree but chances of a 2nd season aren't good. It almost never happens and when it does often the 2nd season…
T&E really was beautiful. "Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy is one of the most expensive Chinese dramas produced, boasting a budget ranging from 300 Million RMB to 500 Million RMB"

You'll forget many dramas but not this one.
