You have greatness within you.

"Bad and Crazy" is one of those police detective shows that combines elements of crime, comedy, and policework, making it a captivating watch. Being a former detective myself I enjoy these detective/police type thrillers. Especially when they involve an entertaining story and comedy.

Ryu Soo Yeol is a character played by Lee Dong-Wook who is part of an anticorruption investigation unit. For me, it resembles the Internal Affairs Division. Often, Soo Yeol takes the law into his own hands to seek justice for innocent victims of corruption and violent crimes. He is joined by a cool partner named Jae Seon who offers a bit of comic relief. Despite being a good partner, Jae Seon isn't always around.

While investigating a "Pupil" drug ring and internal police corruption, Soo Yeol finds himself in over his head. His past fears and childhood memories are evoked. Apparently, he goes into self-defense mode, imagining an alter ego named "K" to cope with the stress and fear. That's how I saw it, at least.

I thought "K" was real at first, but then I realized he might only be real in his head if he was stressed enough. Whatever the case, "K" was a funny, witty, tough character. There was no doubt he was the type of person you would imagine yourself being in a time of need. Each time "k" appeared, the scene was enhanced, and I thought he added to the story.

"Bad and Crazy" was exactly that, Bad and Crazy. There were good fight sequences, as well as good investigation and execution. However, as a former law enforcement officer myself, I had to overlook some things and realize it was television. It's like Soo Yeol turned his back on the bad guy (and paid for it) after knocking him down on more than 2 separate occasions. The prison bus was hijacked by one inmate. Yes, it is possible, but let me tell you something. The odds of pulling that off are extremely low when the officers are on their game.

In "Bad and Crazy," both the cinematography and visual effects are pretty good. I liked the camera angles and shots when "K" appeared, the slow-motion tracking shots, and the transitions between "K" and Soo Yeol. In many scenes, the music enhanced the mood.

Ultimately, "Bad and Crazy" offered a unique and entertaining concept. Even Beyonce admitted years ago that she had to tap into her Alter Ego (Sasha Fierce) to cope and push forward when her rise to superstardom became overwhelming. Perhaps having an Alter Ego may be beneficial if you use it for the right reasons, is that right, Jr? LOL Just kidding!
