  1. I had high expectations for this one.
    *Spoiler alert*
    Though I am late to this party I just couldn’t miss out on this drama. This drama had two incredible actors for their main characters. I knew when I saw Lee Dong-Wook and Wi Ha-Joon as leads that this would be a high-quality drama. However, I honestly feel that this one was a little too goofy for my personal liking and in regard to what I’ve seen of them in other dramas, I prefer them in more serious roles. This drama has multiple storylines and it gets confusing. I found it refreshing that Ryu Su Yeol wasn’t passionate about his job in the beginning, he was competent but just didn’t seem to care much. In almost all of the dramas that feature detectives and police work you see the main character taking lead on the case and almost drowning in it, but in this case, Ryu Su Yeol kept his head low and was even willing to destroy evidence to avoid investigating a case. In the beginning, I couldn’t tell whether or not Ryu Su Yeol was plain stupid or if it was because he didn’t care much about the cases handed to him. However, towards the end, he seemed to quickly catch on about the things that were happening around him and it was satisfying to see him connecting the dots. He seemed quite superficial to me at first but K really added depth to his personality. I really liked the psychological spin to it although it still bothers me how mental health continues to be added for shock value without any proper representation of the actually mentioned illnesses. I think it’s such a shame that they mock psychiatry and how it is presented as a sham. I must say having watched the whole show I liked the first couple of episodes a lot more than I did the last. I liked K’s rouge personality, aggression, and questionable ethics which thankfully remained even as K and Ryu Su Yeol became friends. It is the first drama I’ve watched where they push a split-personality disorder where we also get to know the other personality and I thought it was cool that we also got to know K as he manifests as his own character. As we learn about Ryu Su Yeol’s past and his relation to Jeong Yun Ho we also learn why K was created. It turns out that Ryu Su Yeol and Jeong Yun Ho had been at the same shelter at the same time as kids running away from their abusive fathers and that is when Jeong Yun Ho talked about murdering each other’s fathers to escape the loop of misery. Ryu Su Yeol was beaten so often by his father that his maín personality couldn’t protect him and that is why K, his split personality, was created. It is revealed that Ryu Su Yeol agrees to kill Jeong Yun Ho’s father not knowing his personality has split and that it actually was K who committed the murder. After the incident, he represses his memories and switches back to his main personality unaware of what has happened and that is when he is found and adopted by Ryu Dong-Yeol and his mother. After Ryu Su Yeol is adopted he doesn’t see K or Jeong Yun Ho again until 22 years later when K reappears as Ryu Su Yeol experiences a bit of stress at work. The twist in this drama is that while reinvestigating an old case Ryu Su Yeol figures out that the culprit is the same: Jeong Yun Ho who has now stolen a new identity and has become a therapist who is manipulating and gaslighting abused children into killing for each other claiming it is the only way out of misery. I think Jeong Yun Ho is a really interesting character and I wish we had heard more about his past and really had gotten to know his mind. He justifies the role he has in the killings by convincing himself that it is the only way to escape misery and that he isn’t a murderer but a just guarding angel who saves abused children wanting to escape the abuse. He justifies his actions by gaslighting himself into believing that he is helping other kids to escape and that murder is only a means to an end and a smaller price to pay than continuing to be abused. This internalized view of himself is how he keeps his cover. However, when Ryu Su Yeol learns about his true identity he goes to see Jeong Yun Ho as a client in hopes to provoke Jeong Yun Ho enough to reveal his true self. Ryu Su Yeol and Jeong Yun Ho reveal themselves to each other and they end up in a psychical fight where Jeong Yun Ho tries to kill Ryu Su Yeol and his latest gaslight victim but Ryu Su Yeol persists and escapes while chasing after him. Jeong Yun Ho’s identity is revealed and he is apprehended. In the end, Ryu Su Yeol learned to confront his past and in doing so he lets K go while showing determination to do better at his job and at fighting for justice. This drama had a bitter-sweet ending as K leaves but all ends were tied and Ryu Su Yeol got a happy ending.

  2. Without a doubt this spurs forward Lee Dong-Wook performance and quite literally proved the thespian maxim that there are no small parts of any drama that he cant act. Lee Dong-Wook got into the skin of the role and he did an amazing job as a typecast actor. You have proven that he can take versatile roles and excel. Thumps up to you Wi Ha-Joon, as well, you played your role in an awesome way even though in was an imaginary character.
    Looking forward to seeing Lee Dong-Wook and Wi Ha-Joon winning awards on this series.
    Bad and Crazy is truly worth watching.

    2. Noooo! you don’t, you can watch it here without doing anything or you can download it for free! If you get any weird VPN or other weird ads THEY ARE POP-UP ADS! Not dramacools system! don’t click them! just go back to the original drama page and redo what you’re trying to do. I recommend getting an ad blocker

    2. because the show is running live at the moment and there are also holidays in korea so there might be days or weeks where the show is halted, also know as a hiatus until the holiday season is over

    3. it’s still airing, they air 2 episodes a week i think one is one thursday and the other one friday, but since dramacool has to translate them they might come out 1 day later here.
      I hope this was of any help

    5. The reason is because they are still coming out. This is an ongoing drama which means that there will be more episode but will come out on different days so its ongoing. Hope this helped!

    7. That’s because it recently started and it only airs on Friday and Saturday so the other episodes haven’t yet been aired yet
