Bad Guys return to OCN for a Season 2
by tineybeanie
Fellow drama addicts, it is time to celebrate for the drama gods have answered our prayers! OCN is making a Season 2 of the bone-chilling crime-thriller Bad Guys. But wait — that’s not all. The writer-director duo from Police Unit 38 is coming back together to helm this new project. Can I get a hallelujah?
The first season of Bad Guys broke OCN’s previous ratings records, reaching over 4% viewership, which was quite the feat at the time. Starring Park Hae-jin as a psychopathic murder suspect and Kim Sang-joong as a good-detective-turned-black, this drama was all about Machiavellian philosophy. Do ends justify the means?
Three hardened convicted criminals team up with two desperate detectives to solve gruesome crimes and catch the culprits responsible. The writer behind this masterpiece was Han Jung-hoon, whose other projects with OCN, Police Unit 38 and Vampire Prosecutor, have also garnered praise. Writer Han is currently working with MBC’s creative team for its upcoming drama Missing 9, and as soon as it is finished, he will turn to Bad Guys Season 2.
For the new season, Han Jung-hoon will be re-teaming with PD Han Dong-hwa from Police Unit 38, who was the on-set camera director during Bad Guys’ first season. We don’t know yet if any of the actors will be returning, but considering his track record working with Writer Han, I wouldn’t be too surprised if Ma Dong-seok popped in for a cameo.
Season 2 of gritty crime-action drama Bad Guys will air on OCN in the latter half of 2017.

Oppar will make the best corpse. His dynamic acting shines in roles where he lies unmoving with a glassy look in his eyes. Plus, his fully expressive face conveys the stillness of death perfectly. ♥ ♥

Even if it means I have to wait 2 freaking years for Seo In Guk to come out on screen again. Heee. By the way, I am happy for Bad Guys season 2, hooray!

AWW YEAH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT, THAT'S ME RIGHT THERE
Please replace Park Haejin with Taehoon, his character's story fits anyway, plus it's kinda weird that Jungmoon if acquitted (which he was hinted at to be) still continues being in Crazy Dogs anyway \uwu/
Also, please dress Kang Yewon properly if you bring her back and utilise her to her full potential. No prosecutor wears heels to a crime site...

I love Mary's idea of adding Song Jae Rim to the cast. He first caught my eye in Two Weeks as Killer Mr. Kim so him in another killer role is always welcome.
Hope they can get the original cast to star, though MDS and PHJ are too busy already.

November 17, 2016 at 10:55 PM
yes! yes! yes! Jung Tae-soo's story was/is my favorite out of the bad guys and I want to know if he will ever get her to forgive him. To this day I still remember what she told him when he asked if she can forgive the person who murdered her husband if he says/shows that he's really sorry.
"Sorry is for when you make a mistake, what that person did is murder and that's not mistake, it's a crime." Awww...
Along with everyone else I do hope that the original cast comes back to reprise their roles... please drama gods, I beg you!!! ?

There is no point to a season 2 if they can't bring back the original cast. To me, that is the whole point of a season 2: to reunite the characters/actors who made the season 1 so phenomenal. I really hope they bring back the cast. If they don't I'll be so disappointed, though I might still watch just to see how it is.

best news of the day !!! loved this drama - watched it twice out of undying love for Park Hae Jin (in his pre-cheese in the trap and you from another star fame days). Loved his psychopath role 100X! the mob boss with the heart of gold and the besotted hired killer - Bad Guys was one of the best Crime dramas in Kdrama land. the plots were tight, emotions milked and the individual demons and nightmares of each character carefully crafted and perfectly portrayed by the cast. Not to mention Mad dog squad leader's excellent acting and gravitas. Release the hunting dogs, I say.

yeah, doubt if they can get the entire original case back. Can't imagine anyone else other than Ma Dong Sok as muscly mob boss and anyone else other than PHJ as Jung Moon (that dead-eyed stare - so hot and so eerie!!!) Not to mention Oh Gu Tak acted by anyone else than original actor. Still, if the story is good, will give it a try.

I am SQUEALING! I cannot WAIT for this. I loved Bad Guys and was hoping for a sequel in Police Unit 38. PU38 was a lot lighter but I enjoyed it. However, you can NOT beat this. Maybe we'll get Yang Jung Do helping out the team this time around ;). If not, as long as its got that same awesome feel as the original, I am board for Bad Guys 2! Yay!
[This gives me hope for the Signal sequel that we all deserve! LOL]
