This review contains very mild spoilers!
Hello blushing sweeties!

From bad→ evil→ crazy→ good- justice is done. The character transformation is freaking (sooo) good. Starting from Ep 1, the scenes have been fiercely portrayed especially the introduction of ‘Ryu Su Yeol’, ‘Lee Hui Gyeom’, ‘O Gyeong Tae’ and ‘K’ characters. The comic scenes and dialogues that jumped out of the blue frequently; engaged the viewers made them more attentive. As you watch, you might notice even the tone of speaking is very interesting. The fight scenes were exceedingly serious and manly. They were brilliantly designed and directed. At some times, you might even question ‘Why so extreme?’. But this is the specialty of this drama everything starting from beginning to end is extreeeeemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The acting in this drama was sky level. All the actors ranging from main roles to support roles to bit roles delivered their best acting, emotions and were given equal importance. From closeup scenes that literally brought the charm of the actors to the vigorous and extraordinary fight scenes that made you jump out of your chair and gave you goosebumps; the direction too is praiseworthy. 90% of the scenes were whistle-worthy. They were spectacularly convincing even though some situations and scenes were exaggerated. Yes, there was exaggeration throughout that helped this drama to become ‘The Superhero Drama’. (In short, the exaggeration was digestible, hehe)

Ryu Su Yeol (Lee Dong Wook), a cop in the Anti-corruption department, who literally sucks up to his seniors and the rich for his own benefits; had a change of heart when he realized the existence of his alter ego ‘K’ (Wi Ha Joon) who forced him to give up his habit of sucking up and encouraged to live a more diligent and honest life. This transformation was inculcated in the first 6 episodes with the help of ‘the Drug Mafia plot’. The first 6 episodes show how Ryu Su Yeol goes about deeply investigating and disclosing the dirty business of the drug mafia gang.

But did you really think the drama plot is all about the drug mafia? NO, NO.

When you really start feeling, “Oh, here we go again! Another drug mafia plot”, BOOM! Gas Lighting- the drama’s second plot kicks in. And that’s when the x-factor comes in. I would say it’s solely because of this change in plot, this drama becomes one of the most entertaining, intriguing, psychologically thrilling, special, and unique. You might really end up thinking that the villains disclosed in the first 6 episodes are the top villains of the drama and wonder ‘what’s next?’. But NO, NO. Here too, the drama was successful in confusing you.

The top villain of this drama is Jeong Yun Ho (Jeong Seong II). His character rose in the rest of the 6 episodes. He turned the drama upside down and took the story on an unexpected path. His character was responsible to divide the plot into 2. The first half is an enthralling chase behind the villains to end the corruption and the drug business. The second half is surviving against the dirty techniques of gaslighting and a psychological fight between the truth and the lie.
The drama was very successful in throwing light on a (very) much-needed topic ‘Gas Lighting’. Many youngsters and adults these days have become preys of gas lighters, never knowing how to get out of the situation or couldn’t even muster up the courage to seek help. This drama helps the viewers to understand the techniques that a gaslighter can use to approach a person and the psychopathic nature of a gaslighter.

A mentally strong person cannot be gaslighted no matter what out-of-the-world techniques a gas lighter applies. And a persistent gas lighter will try a zillion ways to gaslight his/ her prey. This psychopath will never give up (even if his life is on the line) unless and until you arrest him and put him in an asylum. Does this really happen at the end of the drama? You need to watch it to know it!

Honestly, the gaslighting scenes in the ending episodes were so scary that it really sends a chill down the spine. It proves that human beings are much scarier than ghosts. Jeong Yun Ho acted so well that it really frightens and shakes you up.
As you watch, you can literally feel the loopholes in the plot. Or lemme call them wormholes, because they were tiny as a worm; which I feel were absolutely necessary. Why because, if everything is portrayed ‘too real’ how are the scriptwriters supposed to deliver the gigantism, the heroism, the x-factor of the plot? You see, in reality, all these extraordinary scenes are any which way not possible. So, a drama or a work of fiction should at least have them, right?
The bromance between Ryu Su Yeol and K is worth watching. Their journey from violent enemies (extremely violent) to becoming soft-hearted soul mates who cannot live without each other, melts your heart. The bromance between Yang Jae Seon and O Gyeong Tae is very different from the former. It gives cute couple vibes, hehe.

Bad and Crazy is phenomenal and definitely INSANE. There is a lot of hard work put in to bring out the scenes super interesting, super comic, super fun, and super bromantic. The production, the cast (perfectly casted), the acting, the bromance, the romance, the OST (such great songs which are super rock, must-listen), the background music, the effects, the color palette (the reds, the blacks, the neons, and cyberpunk colors that screamed craziness), the styling, (especially) the action (wowww!) were on point.
Definitely a must (must) watch as it will keep you hooked and entertained throughout! I will rate this drama a total of 9 and would give an 8 for its rewatch value.

Thank you for reading this review.
Have a good day/night!
