Lee Dong Wook, Han Ji Eun, And Wi Ha Joon Confirmed For New OCN Drama

Sep 7, 2021| by L. Kim

 

New OCN drama “Bad and Crazy” (literal title) has confirmed some of its cast members!

 

“Bad and Crazy” is directed by Yoo Sun Dong and written by Kim Sae Bom, who previously worked together on the OCN hit drama “The Uncanny Counter.” It is about a protagonist who has lived his whole life as a materialistic police detective, but changes into a champion for justice and fights against police corruption when a hidden persona called “K” awakens inside him.

 

As previously reported, Lee Dong Wook will play Soo Yeol, a competent but bad guy who is a senior inspector at a regional police station. He is a materialistic detective who willingly throws away his face and pride in front of success, and he is better at changing his stance than anyone else. However, his life comes to a sudden halt when “K” appears in his life.

 

Wi Ha Joon will take the role of K, one of the multiple personas that Soo Yeol possesses. K is all about justice, and he will take on injustice with his fists. He dreams of becoming the last hero of this era, and he will be the lamp in a dark world full of wrongdoings.

Han Ji Eun will star as Hee Kyeom, a police lieutenant in the drug investigation team at a regional police station. She comes from a wealthy background and had a good education, but is considered the “black sheep” of the family. She also constantly butts heads with Soo Yeol.

 

The drama’s producers commented, “With just the casting of Lee Dong Wook, Wi Ha Joon, and Han Ji Eun, we take pride that we will give the birth of a unique hero and a refreshing action [drama] that serves justice. The pleasant yet exciting synergy completed by the three actors will give viewers crazy fun and excitement that can only be seen in ‘Bad and Crazy,’ so please look forward to it.”

 

The drama will premiere in December 2021.

Ahh! Two of my favs together! @abs-oluteM

 

[abs-oluteM]

@Tofu at least my subs for IQIYI is worth it....of late I have not been using it much except for Lost. 

[Tofu]

@abs-oluteM I think MMH was the last Korean drama I watched on iQIYI. And lately, I haven't been using my subscription as much except for Jasper's drama. iQIYI dropped photos for a lot of upcoming Korean dramas but I don't think we have all of those threads open. 

 

[Tofu]

Photos from their script reading. =)

 

[abs-oluteM]

At least I can make full use of my IQIYI subs!

New poster!

Interesting that they decided to go with 2 different actors to portray the 2 different personas sharing 1 body. Then again, I guess it's been mixed results using a single actor to portray multiple personalities. Still, the cast looks interesting and it doesn't sound too grim, as yet.

I think you have to be a really good actor to pull that off. I think LDW can definitely do it but it's just more interesting when you have someone else playing the other personalities too. I can't tell from the poster who is going to be the lesser evil of the two.

New stills of LDW.

SHIN SE GI!!!

 

But Hyun Bin wasn't able to pull it off in Hyde, Jekyll, and Me.

 

I guess LDW as bad is just another run of the mill bad guy who will become a good guy? Whereas WHJ will be crazy until he's subsumed into the good LDW? Just speculating off the top of my head. Still not sure whether I will watch. I may wait for some initial reviews before jumping in.

[Tofu]

I think so too, @stroppyse. LDW is "bad" and WHJ is the "crazy" one. I mean, just look at these photos of him! Screams a bit crazy, right?

[abs-oluteM]

@Tofu I just saw the teaser . My goodness , . Lee Dong Wook seems to be enjoying himself . 

[stroppyse]

Just watched the teaser. So...they are both bad and both crazy??? Looks like as if they're having fun though.
