Mad Dog

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

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.

The story is lengthy and complicated - I think this worked against it because there were far too many characters with small parts to keep track of.

Kang-Woo is an insurance investigator until his wife and child are killed in a plane crash. He then leaves the company and starts one of his own - Mad Dog.

He is joined in this friends, Cheetah, an ex con, Noo-ri, a genius hacker type young man and Ha-ri, a young woman who has been in love with him for a while it seems. Later they are joined by Min-joon - a somewhat arrogant young man seeking to prove that his pilot brother did not commit suicide thus bringing down the plane deliberately and killing many on board.

This part is played by Do-Hwan, and the major reason I kept watching such a convoluted story. Of course there is a major villain played by the excellent. Choi Won - Young. I have to say I prefer him as a goodie, but no goodie would wear a tie in the half in half out of the collar style as he did here - one wonders at what goes on in the heads of designers - and what doesn't go on in the heads of those that wear their efforts. But then South Korean fashions - particularly for women and bizarre beyond belief.

The series is too long at sixteen episodes and the interest is not really maintained when our five intrepid heroes are off screen.

Particularly Do Hwan - or did I mention that !!

Worth a watch - but it does sag in the middle.

I'm not sorry to say I watched simply because the lead actors were easy on the eyes, particularly Yoo Ji-Tae who, for me, is the perfect tall, langy and handsome leading man. Those lips!! Anyway, the plot itself is pretty generic and wasn't as captivating as I'd expected; nevertheless, it was good enough to while away a few hours.

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.
