Crash (2024)

High octane and highly satisfying

This Drama hit every sweet spot, I think. A true team cop show, the two leads were especially good together. I absolutely love that that there was ZERO romance between them and that both really learned from each other. The action sequences were awesome, especially the driving, and the resolution of the central mystery was satisfyingly "imperfect". Not EVERY villain got what they deserved, which was a pleasing nod to reality. As someone who does not like K Dramas that do not wrap up in one season, the highest praise I can give this Drama is that I would be happy to see a Season 2

This belongs on your list of police dramas to watch

Cops and teamwork, always a winner, right? Pretty close in this case. The good cops are pretty damn pure and the dirty cops are as "Signal"-level filthy as can be. If that's how you like them, "Crash" is indeed a winner. The only thing that really detracts from the experience of watching it is Disney's 14 minutes of farkin' ads per episode.

The story is fairly standard but well put together. I liked the traffic setting, which placed the action outside and on the road a lot. The character writing is not wholly original but damn well made. It really has everything you expect from a Korean police drama. The pace is fast but the plot does not leave the characters behind. In fact the development of the storyline and that of the characters are unusually well balanced. If anything suffered, it was the car transmissions that were asked to do impossible things in reverse. I'll have to ding it a bit for wrapping lines up a bit too early and leaving the final episode hanging around like an awkward epilogue. But with everything else packed pretty tight into 11 episodes they did leave their options open to use it as a segue into a second run.

The casting was near perfect, heroes and villains alike, with one notable large fly in the milk. UNPOPULAR OPINION: Lee Min-ki still can't act his way out of a wet paper bag. This show was an opportunity to shine for many of the male actors as Heo-Seong-tae and Ha Seong-kwang were perfect fits for their roles. Hyo Ji-won and Kang Go-doong played one of the most perfect ever pairs of despicable, overprivileged little turds. On the other side, Kwak Seon-yeong looked like she was having the time of her life in her role. Overall (except for That One Guy who has no idea what "fun" looks like) everyone looked like they were having *fun* acting in this show.

I'll recommend "Crash" to anyone who digs a cop show where the good guys are Good, the bad guys are Bad, and the car chases are wild and absurd.

Really good drama with great team that keeps crashing the cases.

After first two episodes I thought ugg....I did not like it but I read so many good comments and as usual so many non-rocom dramas are underrated so I kept watching. I am glad I did as I was drawn to it and could not stop watching.
Each episode was about different case and we got to know more about the past of
Yeon Ho and what really happened 10 years ago.

I like the bond of our TCI team and each of them have different strength and together they can solve anything.
The only negative for me was the expression of Yeon Ho as it was always the same specially at the beginning.

I am happy we will have season 2!

I came upon this drama by looking for action cop dramas. The synopsis reeled me in.

This drama is about a car crash investigation team called TCI. They're looked down upon because investigating car crashes is beneath the other ranks in the police force but these guys made other the top notch divisions look like heavy amateurs.

Each an every episode didn't disappoint. This drama kept the continuity throughout the whole series. They didn't stray like other dramas tend to do.

The high speed chase scene was the best. I love car chases and this one had me realizing my fists were clinched throughout the whole car chase scene. I actually had nail divots in my hands!

I loved all the characters both good and bad. I will say the MML was a little annoying. That stoic character is the dumbest character choice Korea like to display and it's annoying. The MML had no life until he had several run-ins with the bad guys. I get irritated when they make a character pretend he has no emotions. It drains the life out of what the episode is all about. I also hate when a character who can actually fight in real life pretend they can't fight. But in this case I liked the way it was done. They didn't make the MML pretend to know how to fight over night. He took what he remembered in his trainings and used it.
Towards the last few episodes he forgot to pretend to be stoic and that was the part I enjoyed. I guess I'm annoyed by him in Behind Your Touch-which Korea who speak backwards is really Touch Your Behind, lol.

All of the supporting actors did an excellent job. They could fight, there were no slapstick characters-which I hate-and everybody stuck to their character choices.

I also mainly watched this series because it had a lot of actors in this that played in dramas that I actually like so I knew they were going to do well in this.

The cinematography was awesome. I wonder how many cars were destroyed in making this drama! The music was highly annoying! I wasn't a fan of that screeching guitar or that guy screaming the 'Crash' theme song.

I know people are clamoring for a second season and if they do would they be able to pull it off. I know some dramas that have second seasons usually flop-Uncanny Counter 2...I'm still disappointed with that one!
