Wasted potential

I enjoyed Bad and Crazy overall, but could have been better. Shame, it left me with a bitter taste of disappointment. It started good, the first arc of the episodes from 1 to 7 was absolutely the best, for the Villains and all the characters involved, the hate-love relationship between Ryu Su Yeol and Hui Gyeom which was interesting dynamic, but not enough explored sadly. K, the alter ego who helped Ryu Su Yeol on becoming better man, but then it went down to hill from 8 to 12. I was like...What happened? Boring, repetitive and unnecessary comedy scenes out of the blue, not even helpful to fill the storyline...The final arc cut out all the characters focusing only to Ryu Su Yeol and the final Boss. His familiar drama unnecessarily repeated in two consecutive episodes for no purpose... The alter ego thing is not even explained properly and end up being confusing till the end. Lack of the explainations to the point that it feels like K is different separated person from Su Yeol, not his alter ego, especially because of Hui Gyeom. Through her, we explore K the most, which is supposed to be Ryu Su Yeol's sweet and most romantic side, but it's way too different from Su Yeol who seems lunatic. A day it seems he doesn't care about her, and another it seems he loves her. Maybe he's just too childish to not know what he wants. Anyway, this trio thing with Hui Gyeom K and Ryu Su Yeol doesn't make that much sense because is not explained well. Would have been better if we would have seen a short backstory of Su Yeol and Hui Gyeom, when they became a couple and why they broke up later, that would have gave a further POV of Su Yeol about his feelings, and fit with K more. The others characters completely disappeared and with no purpose. Even the old Villains, the chupa chups lady, wasted. The ending is the worst thing to me. It really disappointed me. Yeah, Su Yeol embraced his crazy's nature, meaning K, but why always only comedy? The conclusion leaves some questions and make everything unsatisfying. I felt like it could have been longer than 12 episodes. Maybe the idea from the beginning, didn't work because even if promising, it's simply wrong. Trying to adapt Joker, an iconic DC Villain to an an anti hero personality, risk to be a mess, especially if is poorly written, and indeed, here we are...About cast, 10/10 i loved the chaotic duo with Lee Dong Wook & Wi Ja Hoon, the comedy scenes is effective and entertaining. I also loved the insane chemistry between Dong Wook and Han Ji Eun. Wish they had more scenes together. Acting and action, absolutely incredible. Songs, amazing. My fav is Out of my way. It's pure energy.
