Mad Dog

This series is driven by the machinations of 3 baddies, who successfully keep the heroes and ourselves guessing. In particular, Choi Won-young was very good value.

It is a shame, then, that the goodies did not achieve the same success. Although I have seen the actors playing them elsewhere and appreciate their talents, these did not gel in this series. This may be because the writers were more concerned with sparky dialogue than with believable characters and relationships that you can invest in.

As a result it was sometimes hard to maintain the level of interest necessary to follow the convoluted plot.

Nevertheless I have decided that that is better than a score of 5. It's not scintillating but I did stick with it until the end and do not regret doing so.

The most annoying thing about this drama is the main baddie wears his tie in what is called the "European style" and if you like symmetry once you watched it you will understand what I mean. Anyway the drama centres around a team of people who investigate insurance fraud but there main aim is to uncover the truth about a plane crash which killed their leaders wife and child. It is an interesting story line which is well acted but I failed to bond with the characters and their frustrating relationship in the beginning which led to the deaths of people.

A world of insurance scams I've never seen before. it's FUN and the best. After I watched My Country: New Age played by Woo Do Hwan it was a pale and handsome young man who had charmed me. I decided to watch Mad Dog because there is Woo Do, who this time is a man who is good at hacking computers and a con artist. In terms of character, it is quite interesting and epic to make me not stop watching Min Joon. interaction with Kang Woo between hate, love in colleagues to willing to work together and willing to sacrifice to bear heavy things for Min Joon and his late family. I really like the drama Mad Dog and deserve a high rating.

If only the team from Leverage drama and Mad dog team join forces... it will be amazing 🙁💘

This feels exactly like 2017 kdrama, and if you are fan of kdrama you understand what I mean. Current dramas have increased HUGELY their quality since 2018/2019 and they keep getting better and better.

Its good enough and entertaining but you can see the twists and plots a bit earlier than they actually happen. Low budget script with many holes but good enough for you to overlook them.

Woo Do-Hwan is an amazing actor ( he is also extremely hot in this) and I adored him on Tempted, The King and My Country and I thought his performances there were too notch ( specially The kings double character which he nailed) but maybe this drama because its an earlier one i can seem to see owning his character, maybe im overthinking it but i see many expression that doesn't seem natural.

Rest of the cast is good and experienced, the only ones I have seen little about are the two younger secondary leads from their team.

I think this is okay for an afternoon where you don't know what to watch and this will do the job but there's too many good thrilling crime dramas better than this one.
