Drama name: Mad Dog
Country: South Korea
Year: Oct- Nov 2017
I stumbled across this show while channel surfing one morning... It was already at Episode 4 and it caught my eye immediately because it looked interesting. Back tracked online to check out the full story...
So, what's this drama about?
Choi Kang Woo is a claims examiner working with Taeyang Insurance. His job is to investigate insurance claims to make sure they are not fraud cases in order to safe guard Taeyang from paying out unnecessary funds. One day, a plane crash kills his wife and son. Kang Woo was so devastated and vowed to uncover the truth behind the crash. He resigns from Taeyang Insurance and starts his own investigation agency named Mad Dog.
Meanwhile, the brother of the co-pilot who supposedly suicide crashed the plane is also on the quest to clear his brother's name. Jan Gebauer or Kim Min Joon makes an unexpected entry into Mad Dog and uses them to help him. However, it was not easy as Kang Woo sees him as the murderer's brother who killed his whole family.
With the unlikely duo combination, they set out to investigate the plane crash. They begin to uncover layers upon layers of corporate corruption, money laundering and abuse of power that ultimately puts their lives in danger.
Overall thoughts
The story starts off quite complicated with the plot seemingly all over the place, but it is because the cases actually overlap one another. As the show progresses it gets better and better.
Best parts of the drama?
Mad Dog team, consisting of Kang Woo, Jang Ha Ri, Cheetah and Pentium (Noo Ri) Their chemistry is awesome. I really enjoyed all their missions and interaction...
The many teasing moments between Kim Min Joon and Jang Ha Ri... There isn't any romance but it was just enough to keep your imagination running wild! ;D
Kim Min Joon's hot body... This one's for the ladies! ;D Sexy back triggered...
No romance but there is bromance! The relationship between Kang Woo and Kim Min Joon develops from one of doubt to a trusting one....
My favourite troublemaker duo, Cheetah and Pentium! :D They are seriously so cute together... and yes, Noo Ri is pretty cute too! XD
I do like Kim Min Joon's dark interior apartment... It even has a secret bookcase entrance! I shall let you watch the show to find out... ;D
Notable scenes
I guess the highlight of many commenters was this tease scene between Kim Min Joon and Jang Ha Ri... Everyone was expecting a kiss but oops... trolled! ;D
Fashion
Now, the bad guy of this show really stole the show... Literally. XD The comments section was full of OCD moments with his neck tie style.... Hahah!! Apparently, it is the European style neck tie... I don't know! Maybe someone can enlighten us on it...
But seriously, I actually fell for this guy! He's soooo smart and bad at the same time it's so smexy.... XD Help me...
Conclusion
After numerous attacks and counter attacks (Too many I lost count!) between Mad Dog team and the bad guys and within the bad guys themselves... Kang Woo and Kim Min Joon managed to outwit the ultimate baddie, the Vice-president of Juhan air and Director Cha Hong Joo. They were all sent to jail and the truth behind the plane crash was finally revealed...
The plane was too old to fly but it was still allowed and Taeyang Insurance covered up the fact. Kim Min Joon's brother was cleared of the suicide crash and Kang Woo was sentenced to one year's prison for illegal wiretapping.
It is a happy ending with ten months on, Kang Woo is released from the prison and jumps right back into action with his Mad Dog team. Kim Min Joon finally calls him hyung (older brother in Korean) Aww, so sweet!
I really enjoyed this drama, it had enough action and suspense... a lot of thinking involved and a tease of romance. Although it may not be on many to-watch list I would definitely recommend this drama. I'll leave you with the badass Juhan air Vice-president a.k.a. ugly neck tie guy! Hahahh!! XD
