"The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos" is featured on Netflix. "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos" is a crime action genre that has drawn around 4.57 million viewers via word of mouth by introducing rapid development and crime elimination.

On September 11, 2019, The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos was released. "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos," which debuted second on the first day of release but was well-received by real-time viewers for its happy action, rose back to the box office, demonstrating that criminal action is a popular genre of Chuseok theater.

Felons flee after a collision between a convoy and a huge truck transporting prison inmates. Someone, however, orchestrated this accident. Police offer to rehire Detective Oh Gu-tak (Kim Sang-joong), who founded an unique crime investigation department that collects and cleans up harmful criminals.

The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos is a cinematic adaptation of the hit OCN drama "The Bad Guys" from 2014. It is a work that takes on the worldview and character of the drama. The environment in which "bad guys" band together to catch worse ones, and significant characters such as Oh Gu-tak (Kim Sang-joong) and Park Woong-chul (Ma Dong-seok) were introduced.

1. Plot of The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos 

The plot of "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos" is that one day, a police bus carrying inmates is attacked by an unknown force, and police try to track down the perpetrators but can't uncover any evidence of the crime. In response, the police summoned Detective Oh Gu-tak (Kim Sang-joong), a former "special investigation department" class president who has a history of eradicating the nation's largest criminal organization in the past but now lives as a prisoner after being imprisoned for assault. Detective Oh Gu-tak gathers the evil men who will once again collaborate with him and sets out to solve the crime.

The most disappointing aspect of the film "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos" is that the character combination shown in the drama was not fully realized. Fans of the drama were impatient for the major characters to appear in the film as they were when it was announced that the bad people were being made into movies, but this did not happen.

Existing characters include Park Woong-chul, portrayed by Ma Dong-seok, and Oh Gu-tak, played by Kim Sang-joong, as well as Kwak No-soon, a five-time con artist played by Kim Ah-joong, and Jang Ki-yong, a new detective.

By teaming up with the film, the new characters attempted to revive the tale. Of course, the characters of Yoo Eui-sung (Jang Ki-yong) and Kwak No-soon (Kim Ah-joong), who had recently joined the evil guys, were not unattractive, but many believe they lacked the charisma of the drama's main protagonists.

2. Characters 

Kim Sang-joong as Oh Gu-tak

He is the leader of the "Bad Guys" and the director of the violent division of the Seoul Gangseo Police Station. As a detective, he has a strong sense of responsibility and justice, and his job ability as a police officer is exceptional, yet he is unconcerned about his desire for success. In other words, his manners and attitudes indicate that he is as violent and rude as the majority of criminals. Over investigation and over suppression are fundamental, and when a bad individual is apprehended, he is dubbed a "crazy dog" because he deals with it regardless of his or her standing.

Ma Dong-seok as Park Woong-chul

It is the leader of the Eastern faction, one of Seoul's gangs, and the largest contribution that allowed the organization to dominate, taking over one district per day, and a monster gangster that allowed the Eastern faction to take over the entire city in 25 days. He is a simple uneducated personality who doesn't know how to say anything, play pranks or go back, but he is highly powerful to match his distracted stature and punch. Furthermore, Maejip is massive, thus it does not budge when hit with a suppression rod. Unlike the knife marks etched all over his body as a result of his wild behavior, he has an unexpectedly warm humanity that his family will adore. His parents, according to Dongbangpa chairman Lee Doo-kwang, must have managed a laundry shop. He joined gangster culture since he didn't want to be a laundry shop's son.

Kim Ah-joong as Gwak Nu-Soon

It's a con man with a history of five scams. The brain is quick and has an exceptional ability to comprehend human behavior. She escaped after being apprehended for fraudulent online gambling during a convoy raid. She was first arrested, but because she knew Kim Chang-min well, she joins the Special Crime Investigation Division in order to reduce her sentence by five years. When Kim Chang-min escaped and fled, there was a file in the police as one of her mistresses, which Noh Soon surreptitiously erased and lied about being her sister's narrative.

Jang Gi-Yoong as Go Yu-Sung

During the investigation, a former investigator was sentenced to five years in jail for manslaughter and became an ex-convict. He graduated from the top of the police academy and was a very brilliant police officer with tremendous combat skills, but the incident caused him to remove his police uniform and become a prisoner.

3. Planning Intention and Theme Consciousness

"I thought about what fun could only be delivered in movies," said director Son Yong-ho. Son Yong-ho, the director of "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos," had a clear purpose from the start. The obvious goal is to resurrect the charm of the play "Bad Guys" and to inherit the viewpoint but to provide a reason for people to come to the theater and see it.

Director Son Yong-ho enjoys dramas, but he is constantly frustrated since there is a limit to how many may be shown.  He wanted to discover how much more enjoyable it could be if he increased the size of the setting that I am a terrible person who catches the bad man. Large-scale action sequences that attracted the audience's attention were put in the early and late parts of the film. He worked hard for about two weeks on the scene where the convoy bus derailed, and in the battle action in the climax, he rented a logistics warehouse in Incheon to accentuate the depth and breadth of the place.  Park Woong-chul, played by Ma Dong-seok, is the star of this film  Park Woong-chul, I believe, is the starting point for the current Ma Dong-seok action. There is also a delightful wit, such as “Mavly.” While optimizing the traits, he performs actions that can be tried because it is a film. It is not simply a scaling-up. I attempted to address the existing worldview with a new story while sharing it.

I didn't want to bring things exactly as they had been over the years. The movie focuses on entertainment activities, but the TV series is hard-boiled. So Park Woong-chul, the famed fist, and Oh Gu-tak, the designer, wanted to keep them at the team's heart while also making a difference by introducing a new face. Kwak No-soon, performed by actor Kim Ah-joong, is the team's brain with five offenses prior to fraud. He was a male character at first, but Park Woong-chul was so powerful that he thought his power was out of balance. All four characters were supposed to be the major protagonists, yet they all appeared to be supporting characters whenever they were placed next to Park Woong-chul. At the time, it was suggested that an actor like Kim Ah-joong performing this role would be entertaining. After approximately a week of discussions, he decided to change the gender of the role in an unexpected decision, and thankfully, the casting went well. He then remade the setting by putting actor Kim Ah-joong in the middle. He frequently discussed tone and fashion with actor Kim Ah-Joong, helping to shape Kwak soon's No-character. 

4. Evaluation 

It is unfortunate that the tale has gotten quite repetitive in comparison to the drama. The plot of the drama's bad guys was intricate. The drama interweaved the stories of Lee Jung-veiled moon's identity, Park Woong-chul's relationship with the gang, Jung Tae-soo's past, Oh Gu-tak's mysterious behaviors in despair over his daughter's murder, and the "being of darkness" in some way. The drama was so well-planned that viewers examined their relationship and identified the identity of the final villain. However, the film is an "action investigative live play" with few sophisticated aspects, which were the drama's advantages. The film can be summarized by saying that they are the protagonists of justice on their way to apprehend the last boss villain, the black screen of all occurrences. Although the severe behaviors of Ma Dong-seok and other performers stick out, there aren't many other things that stand out in the film.

5. Digression

When police vans, convoy buses, and dump trucks clashed on the national highway in The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos, it was the most intricate aspect of the pre-production phase. According to producer Bae Soo-hong, "It was shot on a deserted road in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do. It was once a two-lane road, but the space was too tiny to accommodate a large accident. The other lane was filled with CG after a new line was drawn to make it a three-lane road "He stated.

Interestingly, The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos>, which supplied several active components including this sequence, strived for efficiency during production. The road Bugam Shot was taken by drones outside Gimpo, and the alleyway where "Bad Guys" chased Kim Chang-min (Park Sang-wook) was in Bucheon, a redevelopment complex in Suwon, and a karaoke room where Park Sung-tae (Park Hyung-soo) was discovered. We were able to meet the budget and schedule almost exactly because of the concentration of locations above Chungcheong-do and Daejeon, while still filming five days a week. Producer Bae Soo-diligent hong's schedule management paid off, and the "Bad Guys: The Movie" sequence was also recognized as a best practice by the Korean Film Industry Labor Union.

"I put a lot of effort into the action component," director Son Yong-ho said of "Action Master," and spectacular action scenes that make you feel invigorated just by watching them cross the line, garnering attention. Indeed, Jang Ki-yong, who portrayed the distinctive character of the ambitious maverick rookie in the film, stated, "I trained hard at the Seoul Action School for two months to create the best action," while Kim Sang-joong, who played designer Oh Gu-tak, voiced his confidence.

A trailer for the film "The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos" (directed by Son Yong-ho) featuring the nice guys has been published. It attracts notice since it has the most touching and joyful filming scenario, in contrast to the bad guys who are referred to as mad dogs in the work.

He emanates the beauty of charming Mabli, which is 180 degrees different from the rugged appearance of legendary fist Park Woong-chul, when he gives thorough counsel to Jang Ki-yong, who is ready to shoot an action, or when he plays jokes with his teammates.  Furthermore, Kim Sang-joong, who plays Oh Gu-tak, the architect of the ruthless bad guys, grins and says that taking care of his subordinates is basic, and he is fine with the risk of injury, demonstrating his friendly eldest brother.

Kim Ah-joong, who plays Kwak No-soon, effortlessly performs high-level actions and demonstrates the performance of emotional fraud characters beyond emotional fraud, and possesses a warm connection with the members of the bad guys, who break into laughter simply by saying each other's names.  Finally, Jang Ki-yong, who was thoroughly absorbed in the uniqueness of the evil guys' poison recruitment and displayed a toxic look, converted into a sweet youngest member at the same time as the cut sound, lightening the scene with a bright smile.

Furthermore, they demonstrate a nice attitude during filming, such as sharing pranks or leaving friendly selfies, raising hopes for the excellent team play of the evil guys that will be shown in this film.  Many people admired their connection, which showed a compelling cold bath charm when the camera started spinning but a full-blown smile and a warm hot bath charm when the camera was switched off.

6. Reactions from actors

In an interview with the movie 'The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos,' Jang Ki-yong remarked, "Kim Sang-joong, Ma Dong-seok, and Kim Ah-joong are big seniors to me. First, I tried to approach my seniors with respect. They seemed cute to the seniors, in my opinion. Because the seniors took such good care of me, the tension changed into delight. We were in complete agreement. "Everything went perfectly as a team," he remarked.

"He is the senior who talked about intimate topics the most," he added of Kim Sang-joong. "You're a beautiful guy," he said. "We spent the majority of our time together on the spot. Personally, I had a strong attachment to the play "Misery," starring Kim Sang-joong. In many ways, he was thoughtful. "I'm quite grateful," he remarked.

"The scene always began with Ma Dong-seok's jokes and Kim Sang-joong's dad jokes," Jang Ki-yong recalled.  Kim Ah-joong is a person who frequently laughs, although he behaves differently when acting. He was excellent as a sneaky character. He seemed to understand the small difference between smiling deceptively and smiling with a different feeling. I'd seen him on TV since I was a kid, and it was incredible to see him performing right in front of me. I consider myself fortunate to be working on my first film with these elders. "I tried my hardest to be grateful," he said.
