Cast of New K-Drama Bad and Crazy Meet for Virtual Press Day

On December 13, 2021, the cast of Bad and Crazy met with the press virtually to chat about the new K-Drama, which is set to premiere on December 17 on the iQiyi app, IQ.com, and simulcast with Korea on tvN

Meeting with almost 200 members of the press, Lee Dongwook, Wi Hajoon, Han Jieun, and  Cha Hakyeon (N from VIXX) gave candid answers to questions ranging from why they chose the script, how they prepared to portray their characters, whether or not their friends have described them as bad or crazy, their most memorable scenes, and why viewers should watch Bad and Crazy. It was exciting to hear just how much the four stars enjoyed working on the drama, as each cast member made it very clear at one point or another how well they all worked together with the director and other actors and actresses on set (not to mention just how much Wi Hajoon got in on the action scenes). One of the biggest questions dealt with the bromance and chemistry between Dongwook and Hajoon’s characters, with Hajoon expressing that although their characters couldn’t stand each other at the start, they eventually started to work well together. Hajoon even revealed that his on-screen chemistry with Dongwook was very strong and they were able to work together perfectly even without detailed direction.

Described as a heroic drama, Sooyeol (Lee Dongwook) is a competent police officer whose ambitions have led him to taking on cases his superiors like and giving them their desired outcomes, turning a blind eye to injustices and thus making him a bad guy. He then meets K (referred to as “Helmet K” throughout the press conference and portrayed by Wi Hajoon), a righteous but crazy person who acts as a vigilante of sorts, with the two eventually teaming up together. With the tagline, “Morons that will turn the world on its head are coming,” displayed during the highlight trailer at the beginning of the livestream, you can believe that Bad and Crazy will be an action-packed, yet comedic, wild ride.

Bad and Crazy was directed by Yoo Sundong (The Uncanny Counter, 0.0MHz) and written by Kim Saebom (The Uncanny Counter) and stars Lee Dongwook (Guardian: The Lonely and Great God and Tale of the Nine Tailed), Wi Hajoon (Romance Is A Bonus Book and Squid Game), Han Jieun (Ghost and 100 Days My Prince) and Cha Hakyeon (Hotel King).
