Bad and Crazy (South Korean Television Series)

Bad and Crazy is a South Korean television series that aired on tvN and iQIYI from December 17, 2021, to January 28, 2022. The series, directed by Yoo Sun-Dong and written by Kim Sae-Bom, consists of 12 episodes and explores themes of justice and morality within the police force.

Plot

The story centers on Ryu Soo-Yeol, played by Lee Dong-Wook, a police officer at the Mooui Police Department. While highly competent, Soo-Yeol is characterized by his pragmatic and often ethically questionable approach to his career, prioritizing personal success and promotions. His life takes a dramatic turn with the arrival of K, portrayed by Wi Ha-Jun. K is a mysterious individual who acts as a self-proclaimed hero, using physical force to confront injustice wherever he encounters it. The series also features Lee Hee-Gyeom, a police lieutenant in the drug squad and a former partner of Soo-Yeol, who is noted for her dedication and strong sense of righteousness.

Production and Broadcast

The series occupied the Friday and Saturday 22:40 time slot on tvN. It followed the conclusion of the drama Happiness and was succeeded by Shting Stars in April 2022. During its run, the broadcast schedule for the 10th episode was adjusted from January 15, 2022, to January 21, 2022, due to the airing of a friendly national soccer match between South Korea and Iceland.
