Bad Guys (2014)

Utiliser ce que l'humanité a de pire pour rendre la justice : le pari est osé !

Alors déjà, c’est un drama OCN, donc on sait où on va : violence, sombritude, ambiance glauque, personnages à la psychologie torturée etc etc.
Honnêtement, il y a une certaine naïveté du scénariste à vouloir nous faire croire qu’un policier, même chef, pourrait sortir de prison à son gré ce genre de criminels, particulièrement un psychopathe tueur en série ! mais dans ce cas on éteint le poste tout de suite et on va se coucher !
Sinon, on accepte l’hypothèse de départ et on regarde ! Au début, c’est la classique enquête, où chaque membre de l’équipe va montrer ses capacités particulières : force physique et liens dans le Milieu pour Wung Cheol, connaissance technique parfaite de la conduite d’un tueur à gage pour Tae Soo, et intelligence brillante assortie d’une froide distanciation pour Jung moon… qui d’ailleurs n’est pas psychopathe mais sociopathe, c’est un mauvais choix de terme du scénariste.
Ensuite cela devient de plus en plus intéressant quand on entre dans la vie et le caractère des 4 hommes va se découvrir, s’affirmer au fur et à mesure qu’ils vont se débarrasser de leur individualisme pour découvrir ce qu’est une équipe, et surtout l’effet brutal et inattendu de ce qu’ils éprouvent la première fois qu’ils sauvent une vie… Parallèlement à la résolution des affaires, les propres histoires des personnages se révèlent, découvrant des pans inattendus de leur personnalité et tissant une autre intrigue tournant cette fois autour d’eux.
Ce drama aurait pu être excellent, du fait de la complexité psychologique des personnages et de leur chemins personnels vers l’acceptation de leurs actes, du prix à payer s’ils veulent « recommencer une vie décente ». Le souci, c’est une réalisation pas toujours claire, et surtout très lourde, ce qui se voit dans le jeu des acteurs poussé parfois presque à la caricature. Kim Sang Joong, que j’avais adoré dans « Rebel… » en fait des tonnes et à la fin je ne pouvais plus supporter ces mèches de cheveux artistement disposées pour lui cacher les yeux sans trop les cacher et les gros plans qui faisaient ressortir jusqu’au pores de son nez ! Le réalisateur a dû se régaler des westerns de Sergio Leone en leur temps, il en pris les manies sans le talent ! Park Hae Jin se défend plutôt bien dans le personnage du sociopathe, (là aussi problème de cheveux !! J’ai tout le temps rêvé qu’un coup de vent le décoiffe, mais… ils étaient trop bien collés ! )
Dans l’ensemble, si on aime ce genre de drama thriller et sombre, il est plutôt pas mal, se regarde sans ennui, surtout qu’il n’y a que 11 épisodes !

L’OST est plutôt bonne, avec l’arrangement de la Bachianas Brasileiras N°5 de Villalobos en fil conducteur…

And here it is! The Best drama of 2014 for me! Right from the start I believed in my guys and they didn't dissapoint me. If you're hesitant to watch it, may you should read this first. Who knows maybe I'll convince you ;)

Crime, detectives, action, invenstigation, blood, killers, victims, secrets, don't just by reading it excite you? I'm the biggest sucker for those kind of dramas and they always manage to make me feel good and give me exciting and indescribable feeling of happines and joy. But this drama was way more different than the others. Unique, original and rare.
Did you ever get a feeling to kickass somebody? Like some person that you can't stand, or is annoying to you? I know you do, cause there is no human being that is nice. Well you can pretend to be, but you can't run from dirty and ugly truth of you. And I know that I'm not wrong, even if I tried to deny who knows how many times. And this is what this drama is about. Speaking from my own angle of view while I was watching this drama I had that badass feeling and I got so into the story that I actually felt their pain, joy and a happiness of putting bad guys in jail to rot. Title "Bad guys" actually says itself so you can at least imagine what I think right?
As I said before I never watched a drama similar to this one. The story is simply brilliant and I want to thank the writer's mind and writer to bringing this drama into a dramaland. Former Detective Oh Gu Tak got a mission from Police Chef that in order to stop rising violent crime he must form a team and catch the culprits. He form a team by taking men with the worstest crimes' cases: a contract serial killer Tae Soo, the youngest serial killer, intellegent Jung Moon and a gangster Woong Chul. Bad guys killing bad guys, doesn't sound original? Every character has it's own story and secrets that are hidden deep inside their heart. By gaining trust the strong bond was formed and they started opening to each other. But, where's a trust there's a betrayal, but if you want to believe that person no matter how deep inside you think that he's wrong and bad betrayal again can be replaced by trust. This is a case of these guys. No matter how bad and dirty they were by learning to betrayal and trust they finally believed in each other. And those moments were so strong, emotional, powerful that they moved me to the bones.

Oh my how much I love Kim Sang Joon ahjussi. He is my love of older actors and I always say that he is born to play badass roles. That style suits him the best and in this drama he was no different. He potrays a former detective Oh Gu Tak who's lost his daughter due to a serial killing where his daughter was the last victim of it. Since then, his only goal was to put the bastard in jail.
Jo Dong Hyeok potrays a sexy contract killer, but very clever men. He's heartless, but when he develops feeling for a woman that he musn't love he changes.
My love Park Hae Jin potrays Lee Jung Moon, the youngest serial killer and very intellegent man. People see him as a psychopath and he has a bad past with Oh Gu Tak. Personally he was the most pitied character. His sad, teary eyes and innocent look were the moments where I couldn't help but cry whenever he was crying.
Awww my badass teddy bear will always be in a heart. Ma Dong Seok potrays Park Woong Cheol, a gangster who in a jail for almost 30 years. His character I experienced as a man who everything resolves with a fist and even though he's a bad man he hates evil people. He can be straight and very protective towards the people he cares.
I don't want to spoil anything to you anymore, but I'll simply just say this: These are guys who play by their own rule!

Every second of this spectacular drama was precious and worth. A deep, dark, violence drama with it's deep and strong characters, wonderful music, well made action scenes, twists that keeped me glued to screen for 11 hours brought me an enjoyment which I haven't enjoyed in a long time. Bad guys simply won my heart and will stay there forever. I LOVE you Bad Guys <3
