The only man in South Korea is Ma Dong-seok.
Ma Dong Seok
This seems to be an eternal truth, of course, we know that this is just a joke, only because Ma Dongxi is physically strong, the characters he plays are also tough guy images, combined with the current image of Wu Yifan, Zhang Yixing, Lu Han, Huang Zitao and other people who have returned from South Korea to develop, it is not surprising that this sentence appears.
Bad guys
Then the Korean drama "Bad Guys" that came out in 2014 broke the audience's perception, and it was completely broken, the main actor of the drama is Ma Dongxi, but he is not the only lead actor, this work full of male hormones has a total of 4 male protagonists, 4 people's character personalities are very different, and not only in personality, in terms of body, appearance and style, are very different.
For this film, director Kim Jong-min invited 4 male actors, Ma Dong-seok, Kim Sang-jung, Cho Dong-hyuk, and Park Hae-jin, which is obviously deliberately creating character contradictions, and has not yet entered the storyline, which makes people feel very interesting.
Douban score
"Bad Guys" also known as "Mad Dogs", the entire TV series has only 11 episodes, Douban rating 8.3, nearly 10,000 people gave 5 stars of praise, the show is concise and clear without procrastination, the purpose of the plot is: they are a group of people worse than criminals, but it is such a group of people, but with their own means to eliminate violence and good for society, but in my opinion, this seems to be just the tip of the iceberg, the director uses the obvious differences between the characters, in fact, there is a deep meaning.
Since the characters are the key to this play, first of all, I will interpret these 4 "mad dogs" from my point of view.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > "magic policeman" - Wu Jiuzhuo</h1>
A policeman who does not seem to have the sense of mission and justice that a criminal policeman should have, but I think he has, Wu Jiuzhuo, since his daughter was killed by criminals, when he faced criminals, his heart was fierce, and some viewers said: "Although he is a policeman's skin bag, he is as vicious and rude as the criminal." In the process of handling cases, excessive investigation and excessive repression are commonplace, and as long as the bad guy is caught, he will deal with it regardless of status, so he is called a "mad dog". And such a nickname is also pointed out at the beginning of the first episode of the play, the son of the head of the police department was killed by criminals, and the director of the department who originally valued Wu Jiuzhuo planned to reactivate him, but in the process of handling the case, his heart was kind, and I think it was precisely because of his reasons that the other three mad dogs had changed.
In order to sweep up the murderous criminals, Wu Jiuzhuo gathered Lee Jung-jeong, Park Woong-chul, and Jung Tae-shou, who were serving sentences in prison, and obtained special approval from the National Police Department to establish the "Mad Dogs Team", a secret force directly under the National Police Department.
The establishment of the role of Wu Jiuzhuo has played a very important role in "pinching", although he is jealous and hateful, but he will not do extremely excessive things, as the leader of the other "3 mad dogs", he plays a key role in judging and handling things, so that the detection effect of the case is more obvious, but it will not break through the downline, of course, his most important significance is that he is also good and evil, in order to let him be in the police, but can lead the criminals to eliminate the evil forces.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > "King Kong" - Park Woong-chul</h1>
Park Woong-chul is played by Ma Dong-seok, is a gangster Orientalist action captain who took seoul in only 25 days, he is strong and strong, his strength is infinite, but he never speaks the scene, and he does not use his brain to observe the color, he is a person who has everything written on his face, although he is very large, but his punches are extremely fast and vicious, but he is extremely sincere to his brother and family, and he is a character with a warm heart, and it is very suitable for Ma Dong-seok to play such a chivalrous and soft-hearted tough guy.
Park Woong-chul
Originally, he was arrested and sentenced to 28 years in prison by Wu Jiuzhuo, but Wu Jiuzhuo actually took the initiative to come to him and become a member of the "Mad Dog Team", on the condition that a case be solved, and the sentence was reduced accordingly, in this way, Park Xiongzhe decided to join the "Mad Dog", and Park Xiongzhe was very confident, in the gang for many years, he knew that the evil people were the best at seeing through the evil people, and he had the confidence to arrest all the criminals as quickly as possible. The first thing I said when I joined the organization was, "Then can I just beat people up?" I can't guarantee that I won't kill anyone. ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > "tiger" - Zheng Taishou</h1>
Trained to be a top killer since childhood, jung Tae-shou's face will never have too many expressions except for meeting the woman he likes, he said that he will not hate anyone, just kill. He has killed dozens of people, not a single one of them. He has strong muscles, an extraordinary mind and skills. If it were not for the pain of the beloved woman, he would not have turned himself in, and the police could not catch his figure, such a figure is exactly what Wu Jiuzhuo needs, so Zheng Taishou has also become a member of the "Mad Dog Team".
Zheng Taishou
Sentenced to 22 years of his joining the "mad dog" is the reason for redemption, this is also the starting point of Zheng Tae-shou began to change, the model-born Cho Dong-hyuk whether it is a strong figure or handsome appearance are very in line with a cool killer role, and the transformation of Cho Dong-hyuk into a gentle iron man, but also reminds me of the classic film "This Killer is not too cold", from the perspective of such a big ups and downs of the character interpretation, Cho Dong-hyuk's acting skills are remarkable.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > "military division" - Li Zhengwen</h1>
At the age of 16, the IQ has been as high as 160, the youngest serial murderer in history with a doctorate in mathematics and philosophy, Li Zhengwen, no one knows what his heart is thinking, in the human perverted psychology test, out of 40 points, he got 38 points, that is to say, the heart is very perverted, but he never remembers his own killing, so his heart is very painful, he prefers to be redeemed.
Li Zhengwen
In my opinion, this character is a fuse arranged by the director in the "Mad Dogs Team", Li Zhengwen's super high IQ and academic accomplishment, so that he has been unjustly imprisoned for many years but he can still treat things calmly and calmly, which is also the root of his deep pain since his parents were killed and he killed the murderer, and it is also the root cause of his acceptance of Wu Jiuzhuo's proposal to go out of prison as a member of the Special Investigation Section.
And so the three of them came together.
So what kind of consideration did the producers put these four people together, just to use their athletic skills, extensive connections, and knowledge of criminals to eliminate evil? I don't think so, this whole-of-a-kind work is full of violence, murder, deception, and pitfalls, but it's precisely because of this that I discovered two important aspects that the show wants to focus on to the audience.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > preliminary – each camp to unity</h1>
This Korean drama has an important message, that is, after the 3 criminals are caught with other criminals, they will get the corresponding commutation, and this right is in the hands of Wu Jiuzhuo, all three are felons, and the commutation of sentences is the biggest gift for them, but there is also a problem, that is, the information between them will not be shared, retaining information and arresting criminals can make themselves get their sentences reduced, and because of this, Park Xiongzhe and Jung Tae-shou do not trust anyone, they are each in their own camp, and there are several quarrels during the period, and even fights.
Yes, this is what the audience expected, the personality is very different + the evil is heinous, if you can coexist peacefully at the beginning, it is a strange thing, but the more intense things, the more interesting it is for the development of the later story, and I also mentioned the characteristics of Li Zhengwen, the director arranged for Li Zhengwen to install such a perverted role in the "mad dog", in fact, it is a conciliator, because Li Zhengwen does not care about commutation, he only cares about finding the most authentic self in his heart, he also believes that he is a good person, so he has achieved information sharing, Help Park Woong-chul and Jung Tae-so.
So in the middle of the whole storyline of this play, the relationship between the three people has changed from incompatible to life and death brothers, helping each other, and remembering that there is such a line, so that the audience is excited and moved:
Wu Jiu-cho and the three of them destroyed a drug-making base, and Park Xiong-chul asked, "How many years is this operation worth?" ”
Wu Jiuzhuo: "4 years! ”
Zheng Taishou: "Give it to the pervert (Li Zhengwen is called a pervert by everyone)!" ”
Park Hung-chul: "Why?" ”
Zheng Taishou: "Last time I saved you with the pervert, and gave you the opportunity to reduce your sentence, 10 years, this time you still fight, do you want face?" ”
Li Zhengwen: "I am casual. ”
Three brothers
I really admire the director's arrangement and the actor's acting skills, this action is also to arrest criminals, the personalities of the three people have not changed, but the director has made a good change in the relationship between the characters in the same environment and between the characters, everyone is no longer in their own camp, nor are they fighting for the commutation of sentences, but this kind of gift that is extremely beneficial to themselves is regarded as a daily joke, and the mad dog seems to be no longer a mad dog.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > sublimated - "brotherhood" to "sense of justice"</h1>
The easing of the relationship between the three people is actually inseparable from their "commander" Wu Jiuzhuo, the mad dog leader is very clear about who they are, and also knows very well why they went to prison, in this grasp, I seem to feel that this is a "drama within a play", Wu Jiuzhuo is the general director of this team, planning a thrilling justice execution plan, and by the way, the actor's acting skills have been improved.
So the three from the gang's strongest thugs, top killers, high IQ perverts such a lineup, to the interdependent comrades-in-arms is just to reflect the blood of the boys, I think it is not so, if you think so, it seems to think of this work narrowly, the director and screenwriter used a short 11 episodes of the storyline, if you only want to express this aspect, then it can only mean that it is a good Korean drama, but in the connotation of the film, it may be discounted, to put it bluntly, it may be a "cool film".
The producers even remind the audience in every episode that they are criminals, after completing the case, they have to return to prison, but it is such a plot that gives the audience an invisible bottom line in their hearts, that is, the more you like them, the more you have to tell you that they are criminals, however, they are going to the light step by step, the commutation in the play is actually not a reduction of sentence, but the redemption of the mistakes committed in the past, they are unforgivable, they are criminals, So all they can do is apologize to this society and to the wounded humanity, which is what Korean TV dramas have always wanted to express.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > [Conclusion].</h1>

Mad dog, just the code name of the past, is a person, should live like a person, let the former criminal to be a policeman, in fact, is a kind of empathetic thinking method, this way, it seems to make the three mad dogs have a new thinking and understanding of life, only to know what kind of mood they are in the face of tragedy, of course, this situation in real life, almost will not exist, but the bold creativity and expression of this work, is indeed another way, better expression of the preciousness of life.
