"Mad Dog" (2017) and "Breaking and Re-Entering" (2024) both immerse viewers in high-stakes intrigue, but each with its own unique approach. In "Mad Dog," former detective Choi Kang-woo leads a team that delves into the world of insurance fraud, uncovering powerful conspiracies and hidden truths along the way. The drama skillfully balances action, mystery, and suspense, keeping audiences engaged with its intense storyline. On the other hand, "Breaking and Re-Entering" takes a lighter yet equally suspenseful route with its "reverse heist." After a group of thieves steals a billion dollars, they discover they've been double-crossed, leading to their unexpected decision to return the money. Both titles offer thrilling narratives with surprising twists, blending elements of suspense, action, and moral complexity.
It's also a drama from the insurance theme. The main characters (Hwang Dong Jo and Kim Min Joon have a lot in common). Both of the dramas have the same cool effect of badass main character who is always prepared for everything and have good twists. They are very similar also because there is a revenge theme ( in mad dog is the fact that Min Joon's brother was accused of crashing the plane and in Tracer Dong Joo is trying to find more about his father's death).
