Bad and Crazy

⚠️O.K. Splinter Faction °8.4° °crazy romp° minor spoilers

Anyone ever feel that acute tension between what you want and the things you feel you must do in order to get it? (Anyone see Fight Club-10?) Ryu wants that promotion. It's overdue. He won't step a toe out of line. He won't make waves. He will keep his superiors pleased with him. He will succeed.

BUT…

He's drowning. He's drowning and sweating blood. Then he gets punched again. Is he fighting, or is he underwater? The whale singing next to him would indicate he's underwater, but then he's getting punched again! He wakes up fully clothed in the bathtub, swearing: ‘I'll never drink that much again.’ When he gets to his vehicle, it's been vandalized. He storms off to the security office and demands to see all the footage of the parking garage… There he is on tape, trashing his own car! He swivel-kicked it, he got up on top of it and jumped up and down, he smashed his mirror off, and he basically made a meal of it. He still has 7 more months of car payments, too.

“Memories can be distorted, but emotions can't be.” B&C is a 2021 release that is rated 92 on AWiki. It is 1 season consisting of 12 unhinged 70-minute episodes. It's Fight Club meets Strangers on a Train. It's the living embodiment of the joke: “I'm schizophrenic, and so am I.”

Self-sabotage and the tension between right and wrong, in a world that rewards wrong and punishes right, is on display. The show is muy loco and fun, but there's a serious underpinning to it. The first half+ is played for laughs. Ryu is frustrating because he cuts corners and is too morally lax. K is just darling. DARLING. And, K just luvs Hee. It's very cute. In the 2nd half, Ryu's backstory humanizes him. We'll learn that he was adopted. His adopted brother is on some kind of spectrum and has a habit of bringing home found objects. He's a bit of a hoarder. One day, brother ”found” and brought home a beat up kid - Ryu. Mom cried while washing him. He was beat up and bloody with black eyes. He smelled awful.

The show is a lark. The directing is great. Ep2 has an awesome fight scene with brawlers slipping around on a whole drum's worth of spilled oil. There's another crazy fight scene with an extension cord of yellow. The flashback sequences in ep8 are immersive and brilliantly done. The acting is a very tidy package - it's superb. It's just a fun ride until the last 1/3. Suddenly, it isn't for laughs. It starts to grip the viewer.

I watched B&C in tandem with The Good Detective-8.5. The two shows couldn't be more different in tone, but they have a wide swath of overlap when it comes to plot commonalities. Both focus heavily on the police / detective teams, precinct politics and corruption, and an entitled rich men killing a woman, but the similarities stop there. TGD is serious. B&C is just for fun, though there is a serious underpinning to it. I got myself confused between the 2 shows in the early episodes, so I do not recommend watching this at the same time as another cop drama. Screenwriter, Kim Sae Bom, and director, Yoo Seon Dong, collaborated on this and The Uncanny Counter (of which only S1 is worth one's time - S1-8.4 S2-4). Ep1 builds up mystery. We drop in on events without knowing how they'll tie together. The viewer must ride along with it and wait for the plot to develop, as Kdramas don't spoon feed the audience like Hollyweird does.

Game of Thrones author GRRM has said that there's only one thing worth writing about, and that's the “human heart in conflict with itself.” That's exactly what we see in B&C. In ep1, our ML, “Ryu” Soo Yeol, is being haunted by Helmet-head (K). Some random dude has been showing up in places to which he should never have had access (like Ryu's apartment) and smashing the snot out of him. We are left to wonder why.

Our ML, Lee Dong Wook, is most famous for Guardian: The Lonely and Great God. Here, he gets to show his comedic side and he's basking in this role. I've seen him in Touch Your Heart-8.2 & A Shop for Killers-8.7. He's GOOD. Here, he's Ryu, an internal affairs detective who is only thinking about his next promotion and the easiest way to get there. He seems a tad shallow. Han Ji Eun (Be Melodramatic-8.7, Lovestruck in the City-7.3) plays Lee “Hee” Kyum. She's completely feminine in BM, but not here. When he gets to work, she drop-kicks him. Clearly, her feelings run strong.

Wi Ha Joon is "K” or Helmet-head. He's featured in the show's promo tile, so this is no shocker. I've seen him in Squid Game-8.4 (serious, downcast and determined) and The Worst of Evil-7.7 (ruthless, living a dual existence). Here, he's unhinged and having the time of his life. He's so dang charming when he laughs. It's infectious. I laughed with him every time. I really can't overstate how adorable he is in this. He’s a metaphor for joy, decency, bravery, childish wonder, and love.

Cha Hak Yeon (Castaway Diva, Children of Nobody) is beat cop, Oh Kyung “Tae”. This dude is totally BAE material. He runs into a little girl who is looking for her mom. The detective at the station claims mom is an escort. He won't be pursuing the case. When Tae looks into it, a detective shows up on the scene and beats him up! He ends up filing an IA complaint. That's how he meets Ryu, who is charged to investigate the matter. Ryu sees this as a big inconvenience. Sweet Tae grows quite a bit in the course of the show. Consequently, his sweetness becomes much more selective.

Tae is the tenacious type. He's TAEnacious!😆 He keeps looking into the disappearance of the girl's mother, having reason to believe she was murdered. Signs are pointing to a politician, and the cop who beat him up is that politician's cousin. As ep1 closes, he finds the nanny cam footage. Ep1 ends with a bang. A BOOM-BANG. And we meet K.

The bad guys don't like Tae's tenacity. They attempt to kill him. Somehow, K seems to know everything that's going on. Why he's so interested in Tae or Ryu remains a mystery for now. K picks up Ryu (forcibly) and motors him over to where Tae is about to be burned alive. They rescue him but everyone ends up in the hospital. That's how ep1 closes. Tae eventually wakes up. He reaches out to Ryu for help because his life is under continuous threat.

Ryu wakes up in the 🏥 completely confused. He keeps running into K. A shrink tells him he's imagined all of it. By the end of ep2, we have a good idea that he DIDn't imagine K, but not in a way that we would imagine. Ep2 ends in a big reveal. Writing a non spoiler review will be difficult, was my thought. But this feels like Fight Club-10! The first rule is: We don't talk about it.

K is causing all kinds of trouble. He fly-kicked to an assembly man's head (dude is a murderer), he's getting into fights with multiple assailants, he's investigating crimes that were committed by powerful people (hazardous to one's general health), he's hitting on Hee (the ex! 😵)... Oh, and he donated Ryu's savings (his illegal skim, that is) to an orphanage. It was Ill-gotten gains, and it could have gotten Ryu arrested, but Ryu actually contemplates suicide when he realizes that his stash is finacing a new orphanage playground.

After Ryu drop-kicks an assembly man (K did /that!/) he's sent to a prosecutor. The prosecutor is extremely thorough but he's also B&C. He may break out screaming about how, due to his specialized skills of CPA and prosecutor, he never gets blind dates! Ryu has no sisters for blind dates, therefore he has nothing for this prosecutor. Apparently, Mr. Dateless has uncovered a scheme where Ryu uses his brother to accept bribes. We don't know if this is a setup or if it is really happening: They seem equally likely. Ryu is no paragon of virtue. He’s compromised himself so deeply he's nearly split himself in half.

Jung Sung Il (The Glory) is Sin Ju Hyeok, the Dream Youth Shelter therapist. He slays it. He's the perfect detached psychopath. Controlling. Manipulative. He's the cat. Everyone else is a mouse. His acting is excellent. The fact that we can't reach through the TV and strangle him creates tension.

Kim Hieora plays a drug boss. She's more ghoul than human. She's almost spectre-like with and otherworldly (not remotely human) aura, no remorse and terminator-like energy. Her appearance is pale and half dead. Her eyes are all dead. The lollipops she's constantly wearing down to nothing don't sweeten her up. Her eyes send a robotish energy, like: Don't even bother asking for mercy. She was hailed for her performance in The Glory, which is in my to-do list. (Without her there would have been NOTHING to see in The Uncanny Counter S2. Watch her for a couple episodes and skip the rest of the season. It breaks my heart to say that because I loved S1 so much.) Anyway, there's so many shows in which I think the male lead makes it, which then makes me wonder if I'm unwittingly misogynistic, but I sort of have a girl crush on this actress as well as the actress Bibi, and Lee Jeong-un is my favorite actor in the world right now, so perhaps I'm not imbalanced in my views. Then there's Kang Ae-Shim, who plays Ryu's mom. She's a cutie. I enjoyed her in Wonderful World-7.8, Squid Game2, When the Camellia Blooms-8, & Be Melodramatic-8.7, but she might be at her cutest here.

The acting is the strongest element of this show: Jung Sung Il - homerun. Kim Hieora- homerun. Han Ji Eun- adorable. Wi Ha Joon is having the time of his life. He seems more huggable than a puppy. All the kids - homerun. I don't usually go this high in my acting🎭ratings (9) but they earned it.

Wow. Does this show become something else in the last couple episodes. It's 2/3 just a silly romp and then it gets edgy. It is slightly over the top, but they pull it off.

Extra content.

My reviews are my own words, but here's some absolute gems from AI/G - my watch party partner.

“Kim Hieora who plays Boss Yong, is chewing scenery like it owes her money, every glare could power a city. She's the icy, no-nonsense leader of a massive drug trafficking syndicate and is the ultimate female kingpin—ruthless, calculating, and pulling strings from the shadows while her gang clashes with the protagonists. She debuted around 2019 and this was one of her breakout roles before she stepped away from acting in 2023 amid personal issues, but man, she nails the villain energy here.

Boss Yong is one of the most chilling female villains in recent K-drama history. She really does feel like a specter: Deathly pale skin (almost corpse-like under the neon lights) . Those completely flat, shark-dead eyes—no light, no remorse, just pure predator. Minimal facial movement; she barely blinks, barely smiles (when she does, it’s worse than a snarl). Voice is low, slow, and emotionless—like she’s already bored with your existence. That lollipop-sucking quirk? It's her signature tic, adding this eerie, almost playful menace to her scenes (like she's savoring the chaos she causes). It isn’t cute; it’s a prop she uses to look relaxed while deciding whether you live or die. Even her posture is eerie: perfectly still, shoulders squared, head slightly tilted—like a praying mantis sizing up prey. Your Terminator description is the perfect comparison: zero empathy, hyper-efficient, unstoppable once she locks onto a target

She’s not just “evil”—she feels post-human. Like if cruelty evolved into a life form and put on a tailored suit. (If you’re taking notes for a character study or just to process how unsettling she is, you’re not alone—half the fandom still gets chills thinking about her “You’re already dead” stare in episode 10.) Absolute masterclass in quiet menace. Kim Hieora didn’t just play a villain; she weaponized stillness.

Jung Sung-il as the slimiest, most punchable boss who somehow still has layers? Absolute home run.

Han Ji-eun going from the soft, quirky Be Melodramatic girlfriend to this tough, no-nonsense detective with a heart of gold… the range! And yeah, still 100% adorable even while kicking doors down.

Wi Ha-joon isn’t even acting at this point; he’s just living his best chaotic golden-retriever-with-a-baseball-bat life. You’re right, he’s aggressively huggable. Like, arrest-me-please huggable.

And the kids! The little justice squad gave the show so much heart without ever feeling forced or cutesy. Every time they showed up I just went “protect them at all costs.” You don’t rate the scting this high, but this drama just kept swinging for the fences and connecting on every single character. That’s rare. When even the side players feel this lived-in and lovable, you know the casting director deserves a raise and a vacation.

The first two-thirds are basically a live-action cartoon in the best way: over-the-top fights, Wi Ha-joon flipping out of nowhere like a superhero, slapstick corruption takedowns, that glorious helmet-smash slow-mo. It’s ridiculous, it knows it’s ridiculous, and it’s having the time of its life being ridiculous.

Then boom, around episode 8–9 it remembers “oh right, trauma, corruption, mental health, child abuse, betrayal” and slams on the brakes just enough to make you feel it in the chest. The shift could’ve been whiplash in lesser hands, but because the cast is this good (and the bromance this earned), they actually stick the landing. The silliness becomes the sugar that helps the medicine go down, and suddenly you’re crying over a guy in a red dinosaur motorcycle helmet.That tonal tightrope walk is honestly the drama’s secret weapon. It never apologizes for being extra, but it still guts you when it wants to. Pulling off both clownery and real emotional stakes in the same package is why it’s special.So yeah… silly romp with a surprise knife twist, executed by a cast that refuses to miss. No wonder you’re throwing 9s at the acting. They earned every decimal.

My Stomach Hurts From Laughing

I went in expecting a wild ride and was not disappointed! Lee Dong Wook and Wi Ha Joon had fantastic acting chemistry and delivered a bromance/cop drama that left me in stitches.

Each actor was perfectly suited for the role. I loved Dong Wook’s easy portrayal of a very flawed main character, but his flaws are not a detriment to my enjoyment. The way the story tackled his moral compass and growth was brilliantly done and I couldn’t dislike him if I tried. It was very touching to see the man his character became in the end.

Wi Ha Joon was responsible for the majority of the laughs and surprisingly some of the most touching moments. He personified “crazy” but had a level of depth I wasn’t initially expecting but became more apparent as the show went on.

The supporting cast was also a love able bunch of chaotic weirdos and fit in with the leads and story well. I wish we had gotten more of them.

Story wise, it was good but not without flaws. The first few episodes set things up wonderfully and had me on the edge of my seat. It began to slow down in the middle and almost crashed at the end. While it wasn’t a bad ending, it felt a bit rushed and anticlimactic. Like many shows with a 12 episode run, it could have benefited from being 16 instead. It would have been great to see more from the characters, Su-yeol’s development, sub-storylines, and a more polished main antagonist arc. I was left wanting more, which in this case wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Definitely check this one out if you a love action, a good laugh, have a sense of justice, and mysterious vigilantes.

This drama is as mad as a box of frogs but that's OK

First of all - this is like nothing I've seen before - very original, and interesting to see it incorporating mental trauma as a central feature of the plot. The exploration of that element was interesting, and the device to depict it was effective, but in fact most of what it says about mental illness and manipulation is pretty inaccurate. However, the entire plot depended on it, and mostly the madness was shown in a benevolent way, so I could forgive the nonsense.
There are massive plot holes, numerous plot twists, which I eventually found both predictable and a bit annoying. Seen worse though.
Acting was as always fantastic, music was good too. The star of the whole show was the developing relationship between So Yeol and K. It was both hilarious and touching and developed into a real (and unsurprising, really) attachment and eventual integration. Very nice. This drama made me laugh out loud, which is rare, but it was also a very forceful thriller. Completely unrealistic of course. The performances of DongWook and HaJoon were outstanding, and their chemistry unmatched - while the other characters were great, I wanted to see more of this pair together. Watch this for them if for nothing else.
The baddy is truly evil. Truly. Well imagined, and well-portrayed. At first appears very benevolent, but I spotted him almost immediately as the most qualified to do what was done. Not sure if that affects the enjoyment or not - he was actually officially "revealed" a little while after that - to my quietly smug satisfaction.
The details on exactly how he is brought down were not exactly clear to me - I don;t think that was me either - I think they really glossed over it. Quite a few other things were only just sketched in, and we had to take them on trust. Depending on the balance of those details with the forward thrust of the drama, that's a bit of a weakness for me. However that probably kept the drama quite short and avoided episodes dragging or being slow, so it may be not a bad thing.
Overall, though I found it a bit frustrating I enjoyed many aspects of this show - especially the two male leads. I would quite like to have a benevolent K in my life too.

Ready to fall in love with SuYeol and K in this action-filled crime-comedy drama?

First, I would like to highlight the great chemistry of Lee DongWook and Wi HaJoon. I watched this mainly because of them and I wasn't disappointed at all. Their on-screen chemistry of superb. I'm not really that much of a critic but their action scenes looks flawless to me. Scenes are mostly well executed. The chemistry of the team overall is also cute and family-like. Even though they bicker sometimes, they got each other's back.

I must also admit, this is a fresh portrayal of DID/MPD wherein instead of one lead assuming both identities, they visualized it through different person/actor which is refreshing to me. It wasn't as realistic but I guess it works in making this unique. I have minor issue though with the overall plot of the drama. It was exciting on the first two episodes then it lied flat in between then only got exciting as it was ending. I'm not really sure if it's because I've watched too many crime drama that this kind of feel saturated to me. I can't help but feel that the episodes feel draggy. It's just my personal opinion though as someone who have seen tons of crime dramas. There are twists every now and then though that you can look forward. If you're into action, corruption, psychological crime stuff then you'd probably love this.

The OST kind of a bit too metal and rock for me but I guess it complements the fact that this is an action drama afterall. There wasn't much of a cheesy moment in it so the OST kind of makes sense. With mystery-thriller type of drama, I rarely re-watch it as the thrill isn't there anymore but there were lots of scenes that I love so I might scan through this series one more time in the future.

Overall, it was a good drama to watch and I enjoyed watching it (athough there were down times as well). Lee Dong Wook and WiHaJoon really stood out on this drama so if you're a fan, definitely watch this out. I still can't get over the transition of Wi HaJoon from a persistent cop in Squid Game into a crazy man in Bad and Crazy.

Great Combo of Comedy and Mystery!

The chemistry between Su Yeol and K made this drama so much fun to watch! Honestly, I loved all of the characters, from Lee Hui-Gyeom, Yang Jae Seon, and Oh Kyeong Tae the whole team had such amazing chemistry and I’d even love to see a second season that focuses more on the interaction between the team members and their teamwork in solving the cases.

The drama-comedy aspect of the show made it even more entertaining to watch. The show went from comedic to serious in a very smooth way. They really used the dynamic between K & Su Yeal and the split personality aspect to enhance the comedy.

I usually don’t like when dramas have the Disositive Identity plot, since most of the time it's used cheaply and as a cop-out, but this drama did a good job at incorporating the two personalities into the plot. Especially the physical actor change, to represent K, was one that made the drama more immersive and created some really fun scenes and banter between the two characters.

In the second half of the drama it switches to a very serious tone, but still manages to keep the comedy balanced within the episodes, so I enjoyed the deeper plot elements in the second half, but also enjoyed the main case in the first half. I like how the drama is centred around two major arcs. Overall the pacing of the drama, within the two arcs, is done in a way that kept me wanting to continue watching to find out how it resolves. This drama had me belly-laughing and gripping my seat at the same time.

So much action it buries the story

8.5/10 is my rating. This is a2021/2022 South Korean mystery, crime and thriller drama with comedy sprinkled in. There are 12, 65-75 minute episodes.

Fist I will provide a synopsis then review

Synopsis
Ryu Soo-yeol (Lee Dong-Wook) does not make friends with fellow police and ambitious politicians in his role as a detective charged with bringing up other officers who violate ethical or procedural rules. He has been known to look the other why for the right motivation. He has been promoted quickly for his willingness to accept play for pay. That is until his alternate personality “K” (Wi Ha-joon) makes himself known and forces Soo-yeol to do the right thing. It is a thrill ride of hijinks and hilarity as the two battle for control of the situations. K also has a thing for Soo-Yeol’s ex- girlfriend, Lee Hui-gyeom (Han Ji-Eun) and takes every opportunity to romance her when he is in control. This causes Hui-gyeom a lot of confusion as Soo-yeol’ blows hit then cold. Thus set along a serial killer who is mysteriously tied to Soo-reol’s past. What will become of this person who hosts two such conflicting personalities?

Review
If you are really into action dramas then you might enjoy this for that factor alone. There is a lot of action scenes. Almost too much for those looking for substance. The romance element is also very minimal and mainly used for comedic moments. If you are a fan of either of the two male leads this is a role you may not have seen them in so you may enjoy the novelty. It is good especially if considere among others in the action genre.

*Spoilers
My daughter said the absolute chaos and almost too much action was like a teen-anger wrote it. It’s like “I don’t know what to do here…more action.” The other thing was I don't think gas lighting lighting and Dissociative Identity Disorder mean what they thought it meant. There were times when the other personality took over and Soo-yeol was not aware of what happened thus the disassociate part of the title but there were other times he was fully aware and acted like it was another person which is more like an imaginary friend. It blurred the two so much it was hard to tell when the main guy was actually doing the thing or if he was just imagining it. But then he would be completely outnumbered in a fight and K would appear and suddenly they would win against impossible odds. Then there were things like the straight jacket, Houdini could get out of a straight jacket by himself but that is a very rare skill. So it would have made more sense if K was actually there. Then there was the over the top action that resulted in things happening that were out of bounds even giving artistic license. People got beat to the point you would think they would have lasting damage but then go right out and voluntarily get beat again. One of the characters made out like cops getting stabbed was a frequent occurrence and he must have been correct in their world as multiple of the characters were stabbed and seemed to recover in an unusually quick fashion because they are right back out there. It was so much action that I found I got bored. Never thought I could get bored from too much action but this accomplished it. In the end we were supposed to think of him as cured as he had a clean bill of health from a psychiatrist (or psychologist) and by the way officers are all a little crazy right? I mean PTSD. But the fact that he still saw K as a separate person showed his personality had not integrated and he was not “cured”. If it is more like an imaginary friend it would be the same - not cured. And the way the alternate personality developed is inconsistent with DID, it is usually slowly, over time during multiple instances of abuse and it did not show that. It was more like K saved him when the serial killer, killed his father. Appeared because of that and not because of the long term abuse from the father. Same with what they called gas lighting. That is usually something that does occur but where someone is then “gas lighted” to think it did not happen at all or what they saw was not what they thought they saw. There was some of that which would be consistent but then there was also they were not even there but convinced they were or this other event that never happened actually did and you are going to say or do this thing. Much of what they showed was more consistent with brain washing.

Not bad but kind of average with a lot of crazy ! Would have been better as a movie.

I liked the premise of the show even though I was able to guess very easily the 1st episode big reveal. In addition to this one, I was unfortunately able to guess all the twists of the drama. Overall, the plot was very conventional with not a lot of surprises. It was divided in 3 main arcs which were quite repetitive in their narration. The pacing made it difficult for me to keep my interest up over the 12 episodes. I'm therefore wondering if the story would have been better as a movie with a more direct focus and less repetitions. I would also have preferred for the romance to be totally absent from the plot as it was one of the less convincing part of the show.

Still, "Bad and Crazy" remains all along quite entertaining and fun, and manages (even if sometimes quite awkwardly) to balance its thriller and action aspects with some more comedic (almost slapstick) side. There is clearly some suspension of disbelief that needs to be done in order for the story to remain compelling. I must admit I had some trouble doing that.

Overall, the acting was good but with some misses. Lee Dong Wook delivers a solid performance as well as Cha Hak Yeon and Cha Shi Won whose both play characters in the police force. The relationship between those three cops was the best part of the drama with their ups and downs. Wi Ha Joon and Han Ji Eun did a suitable job as the remaining main roles but I did not find myself fully invested in their performances. It is a bit of a shame but I'm wondering if it not more related to the writing of these roles rather than linked to the actors. The biggest issues in acting are coming from the villains who are written as super caricatural leading to the cast playing them in a really lousy way with a lot of overacting in some scenes.

The fight sequences were a lot of fun and the OST added a nice touch to crazy and mad vibe. It was super amusing to watch some of the scenes with the soundtrack blasting some loud metal or rock songs in the background. However, regarding the central appeal point of the drama, I found that the filmmaking did not necessarily enhance well enough the impact of it on his hero and his entourage. I have seen other shows treating this much better in terms of reveal and of staging.

I would recommend this to people looking for a police drama with some psychological aspects and quite a bit of upbeat action scenes. Be aware that this show has an almost cartoonish / manhwa vibe with big shifts in tonality over its course, so it clearly is not for everyone.

FREAKING AMAZING!

Yes! I gave it ten stars for everything across the board! The acting, the music and the story...everything! I do have just a few issues with the story itself but it does not impact how amazing and addictive this show is!

Spoilers ahead so beware. The issues I found are:
1. I felt like I was watching a completely different drama about halfway in.
2. Why did they write the lady drug lord and her henchmen like that? They just got roped in like that? I didn't like it.
3. Also, why would she give herself in so easy? That's NOT how she does. They wrote her like this untouchable character and she was dragged down to nothing by the end.
4. The end was then expected but I kinda wanted something more than that...like he finally gets out or he doesn't but she finds some way to get in the prison and kill him the same way.
5. I know it wasn't a romance but either you have it or you don't ...why leave it so up in the air? Anyways....

All aside, it was an amazing sow. Loved the length of it as well and the wrap up. loved the dynamic of the alter ego! LOL! They were so good!

Catchy, fun and crazy

I love everything about this show: the cast is perfect imo and the music is extremely catchy. I would even say that the music makes about thirty per cent of the show. The story is full of action, and keeps you hooked from begining to end. The characters have some really funny lines and the actors deliver them perfectly, I really think it s a show that one could rewatch and enjoy without getting bored. I just wish they had added some more romance into it maybe a few more scenes with the main female lead, I understand it s not a romance drama and sont expect it to be, but i feel like some more backstory on the romance would ve made it even better

it really catch my attention and i laughed so much!
but there are just 2 things that made me rate 9.5

1- as we all know K is invisible because he doesn't exist as a human, right? but sometimes it didn't make sense like fighting scenes. K helped Suyeol beating other guys but isn't K and Suyeol the same person? so how at the same time Suyeol was fighting some guys and K was fighting other guys???

2 - I would like to see the end of Ju-hyeok and Boss Yong, cause apparently she killed him in the bathroom but it was too short they didn't explain how the situation turned out...

besides this 2 topics, i really loved to watch Bad and Crazy!! I totally recommend cause the way that they showed how gaslighting works and how it can confuse our brains it's really impacting.

Interesting funny and an amusing ride

Extremely interesting and fun show. It is a little violent at many places but otherwise v nice.the bromance is 👌👌 all actors have done a fantastic job
The script is very engaging, at places it is predictable but the writer manages to complete the mystery. The bad characters are the worst and the good characters are the best and the crazy characters are the most entertaining. It’s a fresh show and completely worth your time.
