Mad Dog is one of the dramas which doesn‘t focus on romance but friendship and revenge. And I like it even though I love romance dramas. But sometimes there are other things which are more important. And honestly, this drama wouldn‘t have suit a big romance, so I was very satified with what we got.

 Story: Mad Dog is about a small group made of people who want to take down people who commit insurance fraud. The theme is different from most of the crime and investigation dramas I have seen so far and this gave me one big reason to watch. The other reason was the Cast but I want to talk about the story first. Some people said the story was slow, but in my opnion it was the right rate. Many Korean dramas are very fast forward these days and I don‘t like it. The more the story developed the more the viewer got to know about the characters and their past especially the main characters.

 Cast: Seriously I need only one word to describe the Cast: Amazing! Yes all of the main characters were amazing in their roles. The Acting, the feelings...There isn‘t anything I want to complain. But I want to write about the main Characters who got my attention.
 First of All, Yoo Jitae. I watched him in Healer and I liked his Acting very much back then. His role was the Leader of the group „Mad Dog“ and an Ex-Cop. He has a personal reason for the work as the leader of „Mad Dog“ and if you know which reason you will love him even more. He seems nice to his friends, but if he doesn‘t like someone the person knows it...or he/she will. Yoo Jitae acted very well. His emotions were heartbreaking and I understand him and his reasons very much.
 The next Actor I was amazed by was Woo Doohwan. Like Yang Sejong he is a rookie Actor but if you don‘t know that fact you wouldn‘t think a litttle bit about it. Mad Dog was my first drama, because I didn‘t want to watch Save me when I only have time in the evening. In Mad Dog he plays Kim Minjoon. He is mysterious and seems to be very cold but he has a warm heart. He is very lonely and has a reason for his actions. Woo Doohwan plays excellent. I cried with him and I laughed with him and this means very much.
 Now I want to write about the only Female „Mad Dog“ Member. Ryu Hwayoung plays a young woman who worked with Yoo Jitaes character before. She seems a little bit arrogant, but she is hurt and she understands people who are hurt very good. Maybe Hwayoungs personality isn‘t very likable but she is an excellent actress, no doubt.
 The Love-Hate relationship between Ryu Hwayoung and Woo Dohwan is another Reason why I loved the Drama. The two of the should do a romantic melodrama together (but Doohwan acts opposite Rvs Joy-.-). Another Reason to watch this drama is the Bromance between Yoo Jitae and Woo Doohwan. The two of them have a very good chemistrya together.
 The other two Mad Dog Members, played byJo Jaeyoon and Kim Hyesung, were very good, too. Also Hong Soohyun as Yoo Jitaes Hoobae from the university.

 Music: The Song „Waht I want“ by Niihwa is a very nice song. When Mad Dog was on Air I listened to it every Day...Now I don‘t have time for that…

 Rewatch Value: I will watch the drama again, definitly...After my Exams...
