Sunshine Dec 05 2023 2:33 pm hes so damn hot..i love everything about Nam Gil..hes an amazing actor he can portray any role..

Jilli Jun 24 2021 3:44 pm Out of both revenge dramas Bad Guy and Shark I preferred Nam Gil in Shark, but he was also perfect in Bad Guy as well (it's just that he had more chemistry with Ye Jin Son in Shark). I didn't mind the ending on Bad Guy TOO much, I half expected it, even though I knew most revenge dramas DO end with the person seeking revenge dying. Otherwise what is the moral of the story? That you can seek personal revenge on people and get away with it? That no matter what you do to hurt people the fact that you are "hot" means you should get off scot free? It was the same way with IRIS with Lee Byung Hun. He turned traitor to his country, and then people get mad that fate made him pay for his prior bad decisions? No, you should go into a revenge drama knowing ahead of time that the person seeking revenge will get their comeuppance.

Rosa Mia Tesorero Jan 31 2021 10:42 pm I love the story. Remarkabke casting. Kim Nam Gil is the best. He excellently portrayed his character. He's so handsome and super amazing. But I hate the ending.

Merick Jun 25 2020 3:53 pm Too bad i really hate the ending.. KNG really good in portraying a bad guy.. his so hot and sexy..

1137s Mar 31 2020 8:05 am HTS... my heart was hurting so much for him???

asti Nov 29 2019 8:35 pm 3 of them had good chemistry but the story line wasn't good. why second lead actor had to look better than first lead actor?

yuki May 19 2018 3:53 pm The drama is the most disappointing drama I have ever seen , it just doesn't make any sense ! at the end you will ask yourself , why the hell this drama started then? in what direction the plot was heading ? its the definition of disappointment ..although most of kdramas are like that , and I guess all of you agree but this one is really waste of time ..don't watch it ..only if you want to watch him pretend to be cool and some fan service of the sort .. trust me its a waste and you will be deceived , unless you don't care if there is actually a story that makes sense in what you watch or not ..then be my guest .

Andyjoê May 04 2018 1:41 pm @ Aiat, Nov 23 ,2015

This drama is has many clue less points.. you are the only person I find pointed out every sensible things.just couldn't left without leaving a reply for you... The reason they made a drama like this is probably writers want to make sure people to think and remember this drama..just to creat an impact I guess

Andyjoê May 04 2018 1:30 pm Wow 2018 still comments are coming ..this is one of the drama will be remembered for a long time.. everyone acted so good according to their roles..nice plot twists and all, still love Han ga in???

Una Apr 08 2018 12:16 pm This was excellent, right up until the end. Its too bad that they had to cut production short and rush an ending. Since they did, I wish they had just simplified it and left it at everyone learning to live with all the reality they had to comes to terms with.

Not sure why it had to be a tragedy. The protagonist never purposefully hurt an innocent person. He never physically harmed anyone. All he did was expose their wrongdoing. He did lead on his younger half-sister, but even she admitted that he never said he was interested her. It was all her. She just turned out to be as psycho as her mother? I can imagine him feeling bad about the other sister, but at least they had no blood relations.

So, why was he supposed to be filled with guilt? The woman who created the whole horrific situation was a sociopath and did commit crimes. In fact, he is the only one who saved the family from whatever other schemes she was up to. She was going to take everything from everyone, in the end.

I'd love to see this redone with a different conclusion. This ending felt hollow.

ALSILA Mar 20 2018 5:25 pm a remake maybe ...??? with a new ending ... happy one please !!! thank you all :)

Ayush Mar 01 2018 6:40 pm The gaze in his eyes.....lol i really like that.

Love the whole story but the ending is oh my gosh, it's really unfair.

ben Feb 13 2018 12:18 pm hate the ending! but i love the whole story! his eyes so amazing and powerful.... still watching this drama 2018!!!!His so manly and charming!!!! i fell in his voice and very expressive eyes. THE BEST ACTOR!!!he looks cute without beard but super HOT with beard.

madhu May 08 2017 2:16 am okay the drama was very good around the episode 13 but what happened after that.?.I had so much expectations till episode 14...I think I had never been this much disappointed with any other korean drama...I mean after episode 13 it feels like the director had open the camera and allowed all the cast to do what they want and just gone..??....... and in the last they killed him without any strong reason...even the last kiss between jae in and geon ok was without any feeling because of all the baseless drama going on..... this drama could have been so much better if only the last episodes were not like that....

ANNA Apr 25 2017 11:04 pm I know that I'm coming late to the game, but I just finished watching this drama. Like the majority of you, I was crushed by the ending, because I fell in love with Kim nam gil also. I am terribly disappointed that the writers felt the need to kill him. It made no freaking since. (He dies & the wicked witch lives) totally backwards

I would grade this drama 3 out of 5. The ending keeps me from giving it 4.7.

Emmz Feb 15 2017 1:19 pm Lool at the plot ''Geon Ok is a sexy man & highly ambitious'' Haha xD

Hary yk Oct 30 2016 2:10 am Omg, mrs. ga in han is so gorgeos. Lucky man her husband is.

noona Oct 09 2016 12:34 am this one is my style....i love it...

emchi Jul 19 2016 10:06 pm I thoroughly enjoyed this, until the end, when I developed a huge dislike for the writers?( Kim Jae-Eun, Lee Do-Young), who must want to change careers and be comedians!!! I can only assume this was the intent! What on earth is this ending????? The last ten minutes ruined this drama for me. Made no sense at all. What was the reason he had to die? I have watched a number of dramas that others hated the endings, e.g. A Love to Kill, Marry Him if you Dare etc and I personally had no problem with those endings, but this one, made ABSOLUTELY no sense at ALL. First time seeing Kim Nam Gil, am now a fan, and first time I liked Han Ga In(long story why I haven't liked her in other dramas before)...all in all, well executed, acted, directed etc, except for this ending, which I absolutely hate.

Aiat Nov 23 2015 9:30 pm I can't believe I wasted 17 hours of my life watching this!!!!

- - spoiler alert ***

even though they had no time because of Kim Nam Gil and the military thing they could at least close all the other thing!! the last episodes were ridiculous!! 1. They keep blaming him for killing the big brother while he didn't!! 2. All the Hong family are evils!! even the father, so what, even if he in not your son you can't just throw him in the rain at night alone, and in the last episodes they act like saints!! 3. what the hell with Hong Mo Ne at the end?? she didn't know all the things her mother did to him? yoga? that is what she was doing at the end? so ridiculous!! 4. Mrs. Shin at the end didn't receive any punishment?? she was the guilt of everything that happened!!! 5. and all the romance with Moon Ja In had no sense! even though we finally had a normal kiss scene, Mo Ne ruined all the scene...( and Han Ga In acting in this drama wasn't that good in the sad scenes..) 7. Geon Ok death was ridiculous too.. I don't care usually if the main lead dies at the end.. but usually there is a reason.. what was his reason ? protecting Mo Ne cause she shot him? or guilt? at the end when we think about it.. he just made the two sisters loving him.. cause he didn't kill the brother.. it was an accident, and Mrs. Shin is still ok, and his father infarct wasn't his fault.. it was mainly because of his wife, and he did nothing to Hong Tae Sung actually... 6. the only normal person was Hong Tae Sung!! 7.And that no one knows that he is dead at the end.. it's so annoying! OMG so frustrating!!

n3g Nov 12 2015 2:17 am awesome story i love it

Melissa Jun 30 2015 7:58 pm Hey guys! Please don't trust the ratings... they're low, but the drama itself is one of the better K-dramas I've seen (and I've seen LOTS). The last episode felt kind of rushed and the ending is kind of unsatisfying to say the least - this happened because they tried to compress FOUR episodes into ONE because of the filming circumstances at the time...

Don't look further below or you'll be spoiled - trust me when I say it was an enjoyable ride at least up to episode 15. 16 felt a bit bland and felt like a filler mostly, and 17 felt rushed as I've said earlier. But at least up to 15, you'll be thoroughly entertained. But by all means please watch until the end, something's waiting for you in the end which set apart this drama from the bunch.

Melissa Jun 24 2015 8:26 pm Poor main char... he's abandoned in QSD and here he's abandoned again

Golden Apr 17 2015 1:02 am I hate the directors, producers and writers. If they knew about the mandatory military service. They shouldn't allow the main actor to play the role. I really like the script and story. But, it really makes my heart uneasy because it didn't finish well. T_T

Rouge Apr 07 2015 11:34 pm Also for those who are searching for a drama similar to this, I can remedy your problem :D watch Cruel/ Heartless city. Very similar but very different, if you love bad guy you will love heartless/cruel city. It is intense,and emotional, tear jerker here and there, just trust me you will feel the same feels you feel in this drama, obvious this drama is incomparable to anything else but Heartless city is very close, very close!

Rouge Apr 07 2015 11:25 pm Its 2015 and i still think about this drama, i miss it so much. If i could erase my memory i would erase this drama from it, and watch it all over again and re-experince it. This was my 1st melodrama korean drama. I watched it when i was just getting into the whole korean drama thing, so this made a huge impact on me wether i wanted korean culture and dramas and etc to be a part of my life. All in all this drama is timeless and if you get the chance i highly recommend it.

Mexx Mar 16 2015 3:21 pm I highly recommend this drama! absoloutly amazing loved every episode!!!

Geullimja Aug 19 2014 7:50 pm korean dramas nowadays are so bad and boring that's why I decided to watch an old one. i just finished watching it and it was the best korean drama i've ever seen, such an amazing plot and storyline,kim nam gil's acting was incredible!!! for those who doesn't watch it yet ,watch it now you will never regret! I STRONGLY RECOMMENDED IT ;)

Fazad Aug 08 2014 8:42 pm what the ...!? the whole movie was sad but the ending , it was super depressing and unfinished for me manic writers !

Cecille M. Apr 29 2014 4:47 am Bad Guy is my first korean drama which became my favorite. Oh my! I love all in this drama, especially Kim Nam-Gil. His acting so brilliant, I instantly fell in love~ Hope I can seen him play again with Han Ga-In or Jung So-Min in another drama. I also love them <3

And also I hope next will be happy ending D:

WUTTTTTT Feb 18 2014 6:39 pm Exactly 44:56 episode 11 of Personal Taste 2010 Kim Nam Gil is in the shot, right between the 2 girls having a coffee. is this a crossover? or just a cameo? lol

Kinggofing Feb 11 2014 8:20 am @noor No, actually he didn't died at the end when Mo Ne shot him. I'm guessing he was able to patch himself up and then wrote the letters and stuff. Remember at the scene where Moon Jane was standing behind a bulletin board, and a paper looking for someone who will claim his body was there, it says a "A guy with a huge scar at the back" and the cause of death "Self Shot" i don't think getting shot at the lower side of his body can give the idea of shooting your own self.

lupin Jan 26 2014 11:51 pm this drama makes me realized one thing that the saddest of all things is being abandoned..and also when you finally understand why you can't get the love you think yours. kim jae wook's scene when he said goodbye to Mrs.Shin is sooooo bitter. i cried my heart out watching that this drama is one of the kind,doesnt end typically like any other dramas. i felt so upset when geon wook died at the end but the ending is perfect since it leaves a deep impression in my heart...i so love this drama

noor Jan 26 2014 2:20 am In the end of the eposide he was on a ambulance. If he had bad situation in that night or already dead who sent the gifts after that. the boxes sent after few days what 's happen really . it seems Shim Gun Wook is actually alive .but what about unidentified body and what's happen when his little sister find out he is her brother who she shot him .is there any explanation in Korean article or interview with writers.

Paulene Jamie Guiniling Jan 03 2014 6:48 pm Done watching the drama yesterday.... The ending was unexpected and it was nice. The revenge was intense and story is different, I mean it's one of a kind....

I did love it. It's just painful and sad for all the characters. I was also moved by this TV series. Kudos to the writers!!!^^

Paulene Jamie Guiniling Dec 30 2013 11:03 pm OMG. This movie is exciting. I thought it was boring but upon watching the episode 2, the story is tricky and cool..... I'm now in Episode 7.

宗像計画 Sep 20 2013 2:32 pm when there is a bad boy season two

ramses Sep 20 2013 2:28 pm when there is a bad boy season 2

idopiseh Aug 12 2013 2:11 am KNG, Kim jae-wook, han ga in and all other actors, thanks for that beautiful drama but KNG ending in such manner is a bit wierd......it still remains a nice one.......

vansg Jul 05 2013 10:08 pm I hate sad ending. Love Kim Nam Gil !

kevin Jun 30 2013 1:04 am I think this film should next to bad boy 2

Sarah Apr 21 2013 3:18 am Hate the ending.... :(

tamagoxyaki Mar 29 2013 10:40 am This drama would've been perfect if it they could've filmed the 20 episode originally and got a better leading lady..

huggable Feb 11 2013 1:37 am i was feeling sorry for Jae-wook's character all the time, and Nam gil's too. Pitiful characters :( love Jae-Wook ♥

Tessa Feb 02 2013 9:25 pm I loved this drama. The main characters were perfect! I really fell in love with Kim Nam-Gil. I thought that Secret Garden was sad, but this drama beat it. I bawled my eyes out. Although I wish the ending was different, I think that it really wrapped the series up. This ending is one that I will never forget. I think that Bad Guy is a drama that is a must see. It gives you many different things and shows you how life can really be. I'm sad that it is over.

jbrittney Dec 08 2012 8:50 pm I hated it! The main character had bad skin and was difficult to look at... very unattractive. All of the characters are villans .. I had to stop watching it.

alcyone Nov 21 2012 4:26 am Out of all the korean dramas I've watched this has the best ending ever. I know it was sad and depressing and chillingly creepy, but it was perfect and in character. It ties perfectly with the drama from the beginning. I mean, right from the start I felt the guy wanted to die--just the image of the man falling from the sky...woah and how he shrugs off injuries-- and through his acts of revenge, he already had a conclusion in mind, and damn everybody and the consequences, even the person he cares about.

It also ties up with everybody's selfishness and obliviousness to the world around them and how the characters especially Han Ga In's might suffer or benefit from it. Great direction and script, though some parts in the middle seemed off and dragging.  Love Kim Nam Gil as ever.  He really fits the role.  I thank this drama for teaching me good characterization.

lynne Nov 19 2012 3:37 pm Han Ga In, my idol, you're the best!!!!...but I don't like the ending of this drama, hope they make it 18 episodes so that it must have a good ending, Shim Gun Wook died in the end, it would be good if Moon Jae In ended up with Hong Tae Seong, live a wealthy and happy life together, I just watch this drama bec.of Han Ga In, I'm planning to watch all her korean dramas and movies...I've finished watching 3 times the "The Moon that Embraces the Sun" (Her most unforgettable drama) "Witch Yoo Hee"(I like her with Dennis Oh), "Bad Guy", and her movie "Architecture 101" (Her box office movie)...they were all good dramas to be watched for.

Libby Nov 14 2012 4:00 pm I really loved this Korean Drama; and I've seen quite a few.; but my thing is : Why did the handsome Shim Gun Wook have to die after a miracuclous come back; It hurt my heart, my mouth fell open; and I felt as if I lost smeone I knew and cared about.I thought about this for days, and then realized how caught up I had become,and that this was only make believe. Please allow there to be a part 2 of bad guy ; and Shim Gun Wook is actually alive. I fell in love with Gun Wook.

ggeoum Sep 19 2012 7:50 am hi...i really love this kdrama... I dont know how many times i had watched it.. I just cant accept gun wook dead.. I still not believe it.. Trust me all my friends cant accept the fact & hopes there'll be bad guy 2 & gun wook still alive... Please continue this drama...

xyz Sep 12 2012 4:57 am i dont like ending like that U.U why hero die.. haizzz please make Bad guy 2!

Christine Sep 11 2012 9:09 pm This the drama korean that's stolen my attention and heart. I am thinking many times why the ending is 'dead'?, can't be like that. The writer must co-write the story or fixed it, since Nam-gil already back home from millitiary thus you can ask him together with the director to making the 'continues Bad Guy or put title with Bad Guy.2

I want Nam-gil with Hong Te-ra live together, no matter what. since the birn parents for Hong Te-ra and Nam-gil is different.

Build Hong Mo-ne be a grown up girl, pretty, success with college and put in Haesin company to improve her major in college, then the last point is put her to fallin love with the down grade of her co-worker who is smartest but can love and make Hong Mo-ne fallin love with sincere.

About Han Ga-in (Jane) , I don't like she together with Nam-gil, thue you must build the story with a strong success of the 2nd Hong Tang Seo, who live without Haesin money anymore but he is struggle and be came 'a new personality' moee good, and charming. To keep his love just for Jane, make both to seeing each other and become marry.

Others, you can make all peoples with the happy ending. The stoty must be how to fight with the one you love, no revenge, full of forgiveness, understanding and high appreciated to look a person who love with sincere.

I hope, my desire writing can be real for the best drama korean Bad Guy. and be came fenomenal for the future due the success for all category of this drama.

Much love specially for Kim Nam-gil, and my 2nd love for the singer who sing with all his heart that makes me feel deep to this drama. Felt like Bad Guy life in my heart.. the singer, singing "when the part of Nam-gil take care when Hong Te-ra got sick".

My high honor to Director and Writer, who build this story drama as a real in television.

God bless you Bad Guy TEAM.

Cordially yours, Christine.

misoo Aug 13 2012 6:38 am i liked this drama to the core but the ending pierced my heart too much .. every tym i memorize the death of KNG in this drama i literally get upset big tym... after thinking for sometym i relax my heart by saying that KNG died because of the guilt of seducing his own step sister

Mark Jun 14 2012 9:16 pm I don't like the ending. That's it. Plain and simple. I love the way Taera fights for what she feels. I didn't know that Monet knew where Chae tae sung lives but she did not know that she is her real brother. I skipped that part I guess.

It turned a bit slow in ep 3 to 6. Great drama except for the ending. The real world is already depressing enough with bad news why would they add up to the stress with this kind of ending? Well. It not that WORSE as FASHION KING.

Hugsy Amy Jun 09 2012 11:09 pm Hands down the best k-drama!!! Solid story line, even the ending is sad but not at all unexpected, awesome screen play, unbeatable casting, and impressive original score, my personal favorite is the sub title (the elevator scene **wink*wink**). If you are looking for a relaxing cheesy romantic drama, 나쁜남자 maybe not be a good choice. But definitely one worth buying the complete BD set for, if they sell it here in Canada!! ^.^

Jeannette Goins May 31 2012 12:59 pm I just started watching Korean movies and can't stop. Became a real fan of Kim Nam Gil in " Great Queen Seondeok", so my next one was "Bad Boy". I loved both movies and all the cast members. But it was so hard having both movies ending with Kim Nam Gil's character dying.I"ve read he has enlisted in the military, but hope that he will make more movies in the future. Maybe with a happy ending.

Mica May 29 2012 6:04 am I live in Atlanta, GA but I am from the Caribbean. I just started watching Korean TV shows and like every body else, I was really enjoying this show until the end. I even considered the possibility of the existence of another season since the ending DID not make sense. The characters were great. The story line was quite entertaining but the ending left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. It simply did not line up with the build up of the story. I can accept a sad ending at times but not this one.

Jennifer May 03 2012 11:50 pm I love this drama but it was sad because the ending wasnt that great but that was due to Kim Nam Gil go to the army. The reason why the ending wasnt as great as it was supposed to be is because the army denied his request to give him a little more time to finish the 20 episodes they had orginally planned so thats why the ending was lacking but if his request was approved i think the ending would have been a lot better

Damaris Mar 23 2012 4:00 pm I'm soooo shocked with this ending I'm full mourning right now. and what's up with that stupid ending and why did they showed his hand without the ring? does that means something? I'm so confused that i want to weep. This writers are something else. But I really have to say that Kim Nam Gil is one of the BEST actors I have ever seen. The way he transformed into different people and made you fell in love with his characters. Bravo I'll watch anything he makes from now on. Can't wait for what's next for him.

SISAmantha Mar 16 2012 6:16 pm The plot is very good, the actors were great but.. I really am disappointed about how they ended the story. I don't know what the writers were thinking & why the production team went with it.

Mink Mar 15 2012 8:33 pm i just hope that they come back with a continuation, KNG has amazing acting skills....it would be such a shame to never see "bad boy" come back alive.

Lisa Mar 14 2012 4:40 pm I really HATE the endiing...I mean why kill the guy after all tht he's been through...its like the bad guy (tht's Madam Shin in this case) wins , ironically....well..im jus gonna remake my own ending then,..Jae In receives the mask n she goes to Japan to search for him n they live happily ever after...my happy ending :) but not for teh endinh the drama was super cool...soo digged the cold-hearted-deeply-bruised act of Kim Nam Gil...n Kim Jae Wok was convincing as a tragedy-ridden-unlucky-prince-with-deep-family-issues

jb Feb 09 2012 1:53 pm 'Stache" i mean

jb Feb 09 2012 1:52 pm that satche makes him look so slimy. lol

wiriyo Feb 07 2012 3:14 am Too bad. The ending were a bad news, bad planned, & finished in rush.. I've been wasting my time in following the episodes. If only I knew the ending is that "unfinished", I won't follow the episodes.

noted: the only person deserve dead should only be the wicked lady of the Hong family (Mrs. Shin). Mo-Ne do the shooting in the last episode when all truth already revealed (even in court) is out of question. It seems as if the writer wanted to give an ending that is not guessable, but he failed as this kind of ending just make me think that the writer has low creativity & imagination (in the end).

It was a one forced ending. Really too bad, it might be one damn cool drama if the writer didn't messed up.

famous Jan 23 2012 8:03 am If the ending wasn't so pointless this drama would have been one of the best ever. I expected the guy to die in the end, but not the way he did. What exactly can a person learn from this?

Kath Jan 07 2012 4:00 pm KNG's act was SUPERB! Trully amazing!!!

putri Dec 18 2011 9:45 pm i've just finished watching this drama yesterday, and i don't like the ending. I was so excited watching it from episode 1-14. but when it turned to episode 15, it was disappointing. he appeared only a little with very little/no dialogues too.

this is his (KNG) 2nd sad ending drama i've watched after The Great Queen Seon Deuk. and i agree with all of you guys that he's one of the best actors in the world. he can hypnotized the audience by watching his acting. he expresses it very well so that he can make us sad, smile/laugh, angry.

Well, i'm waiting for your next drama, Kim Nam Gil oppa...

Ha Ga In, you're so pretty... it's nice to have you play in this drama also....

Saga Dec 02 2011 11:37 am I can't find drugger's actor ... I can be stupid... But still, anyone who can help me ? Thanx!

Aor Nov 08 2011 9:25 am Greet from Thailand. I really love this series especially Oh Yeon Soo as Hong Tae-Ra. She performed really well, oh her eyes ... her eyes! Facial expression is so great that you can feel it (Kim Nan Gil as well). Oh Yeon Soo is really sexy, elegant and beautiful. I fall in love with you. First, I watched Jumong then Bad Guy and I searched for more of your series. "La Dolce Vita" is my favourite one. Now I'm watching 'Gye Baek'. I'm looking forward to your series! More please! Thanks!! (^^)/

Giggles Nov 02 2011 6:50 pm i dont like that stupid monet. she ruined everythingg. but i wished that jae in chose tae sung. i was hoping that they would be together at the end.

azy Oct 23 2011 1:07 am i love this drama.. one of the best korean drama i ever watch.. the actors are awesome.. but the ending seems too sad..

Habin Oct 03 2011 1:37 am Jeon Min Seo was very cute in this drama.

william Sep 27 2011 7:53 am with regards to the presents i think he sent jae in and tae ra's gifts before he decided to commit suicide, and my interpretation of the ending is that jae in's sullen expression and her statement ' is the world you are looking at a happy one?' might suggest that jae in realises gun wook is dead since why would gun wook randomly leave for america when jae in says she would return for him. for me the ending was really sad but if it was a happy ending people might think that revenge is okay where in fact it never is. i think the ending is the writers' way of condemning vengeful acts =(, but i would have liked gun wook to forgive himself and not commit suicide and also for him and jae rin to be together. but all in all GREAT DRAMA

Brittni Aug 30 2011 9:14 pm I loved this drama until they got to the part where tae sung accuses jae in of only liking him for his status and she agrees and claims she only liked him for his money. Thats crap. the last 10 episodes you've shown us that jae in is falling for tae sung and out of nowhere she just changes her story? Did a new writing team come in or something? After that I could barely watch the show. After everything Gun wook did with tae rea and mo ne how could jae in still choose him over tae sung? I'm sorry but it made NO sense at all. I really think the writers screwed up the story. She should have chose tae sung.

Lira Aug 13 2011 9:48 am It is one of the best corean drama( I no english well, I sorry for mistaces, I am from Azerbaijan, and i love all korean films). Kim Nam Gil is my the most lovely actor. Successes to you. By

marishake Aug 12 2011 5:34 am the title of the song THORNFLOWER sang by jungyeop; the other female song is entitled WHERE. wonderful musics were used in this drama, i love it!

sakuraigurl Aug 11 2011 1:14 pm I love the drama but I got depressed with the ending. A happy ending would be nice but they choose to have a sad ending.

KNG is so hot in this drama and his portrayal is really amazing. I hope to see him in another drama once he returns from the army.

anis Aug 02 2011 6:32 am I want to khow the song title of this story. love the song.

smileyme Jul 25 2011 3:41 am okay...i love the story in the beginning,with great acting, actors, also cinematography but the ending really ruined everything i love first....it's SUCKS ENDING.

Maggie Jul 22 2011 12:24 am I like his drama a lot and had high hope for the ending. I thought after all, Geon-Ok will live in a happy life with Moon Jane. I stopped watching it when I saw that evil look on Mo-Ne and the gun on the floor. Why do they make the ending so sad? I know sometimes people like to be surprise but the ending really ruined the whole drama. Actors are great but ending sucks.

cici Jul 02 2011 1:48 pm Love Kim Jae-Wook only. Love him forever

non sibi Jul 01 2011 8:00 pm HGI's nose is cute. Surgery product, isn't it? KNG is cool with mustache. KJW's acting is cool.

Danny Jun 27 2011 11:07 pm The ending is terrible. Pretty much the evil madam shin got everything she wanted: 1) Tea Ra is president, 2) loser son is out of the family, 3) father is punished for sending her son to the U.S. here he died and even without her knowing she even beat Gun Wook by revealing the truth led to him to become tormented, pulling out the gun and ultimately the tragic ending with the gun! I can't believe they would let the Madam get away with it all! And yes Gun Wook is dead at the end because they wanted a symbolic ending, Gun Wook struggled the whole time with his identity and in the end he died as an "unidentified person". Bottom line, ending sucked!

LOL May 27 2011 6:07 pm Tae-ra is f*cking hot!! sexy~~

ana May 22 2011 12:21 am y this story have a ending like that,, i love this story but i expect that shim gun wook will get his happiness after what he have been through,, i put a high hope for a happy ending for moon jae in and shim gun wook.. i also hope that shim gun wook and his family wiill together again,, but y the ending is like that,, it is so sad,, it make me cry,,

tricia May 09 2011 8:27 am i must say a very versatile actor is born with the name KIM NAM GIL...the ending was a bit shocking i was hoping to have a lighter ending...in queen seon deok ii was really sad because bidam died and in this series kim nam gil again had a sad ending...in this drama gun wook deserved a better life with han ga-in's character..but any way bad guy is really the best drama ever...hope to see more of kim nam gil...saranghe oppa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vee May 01 2011 1:39 am I just finished it 10 days ago... And I really like it. the whole story, plot, chemistry between Ga-In, Tae-Ra and Gun Wook, the soundtrack, even the sad ending, is one of the best that I've ever seen.

ange Apr 11 2011 7:10 pm if you like this series, then I recommend you to watch "million star falling from the sky" (Takuya Kimura). the core story is almost similar, and also the main character. To compare the series, I still find Takuya Kimura is hotter when it comes to kissing scenes / role as playboy than KNG, but KNG's body is better :) But anyway I love both series & I love both main characters, recommended series !

marishake Apr 09 2011 5:44 am this is actually the best korean drama i watched along with queen seon duk;) kim nam gil is a great actor. he is my best actor in asia. the plot, the setting and the scenes in each episode of this drama excited me a lot. i love all its soundtrack, the background musics are wonderful, and the song THORNFLOWER. though the ending is sad, i was entertained and inspired by this drama.

Cullengabriela Apr 04 2011 12:40 am U are so tallented actor...!!!

Tess Mar 13 2011 11:02 pm I started watching this series because I like Ha Ga In but was totally attracted to it because of Kim Nam Gil now. Not to mention the storyline is also very good and having Ha Ga In paired with Kim Nam Gil made it even more perfect. Have to agree with the rest I wished the ending could have been a better one. Kim's character really deserved a better life after all those hatred have been resolved.

Love the soundtrack too, can anyone provide the romanised lyrics to the 3 main songs they played continuously in the show please? Would really appreciate it.

Ha Wa Feb 22 2011 2:52 am I've just finished watching the drama '' bad guy'' the series was great and breath taking I just wished the ending was different, I hope they continue when Nam Gil comes back from the army and good luck with him!

Great fan from Australia

twister Feb 05 2011 3:10 am woww... this movie is twisting kNG go...

karlita Jan 25 2011 3:47 pm i really liked kim Jae-Wook in this drama, very hansome and great actor, about the story i just want to watch another end u_u

seena Jan 20 2011 12:57 am i just finished watching the drama like 10 minutes ago and i must say that it's mind-blowing! definitly a MUST SEE!

Kristen Jan 19 2011 2:13 pm i wish Bad Guy didn't have to be cut to 17 episodes and that Gun Wook had to die in the end. Kinda wish that when Nam Gil returns from military service they make more episodes and call it 'The alternate ending.'. >.>

Jae Wook = <3 Nam Gil = <3

leyla Jan 10 2011 8:20 am hello kim...............i no english very well.....................i wish to see you very much.......................bye....................

gangotree Dec 25 2010 12:32 pm love u KNG

CAGOME Dec 03 2010 4:04 pm END OF THE FILM IS VERY INTERESTING:THE WORLD SEEN THROUGH THE MASK GLASS...

CAGOME Dec 03 2010 3:48 pm LOVE MUCH K. N. G.IN THIS DRAMA!VERY GOOD STORY AND CHARMING MAN(K.N.G.)!SO SEXY!GOOD LUCK IN THE ARMY!ROMANIA LOVES YOU!AND I!KISSES FOR YOU FROM ROMANIA!

Anna Dec 01 2010 8:31 pm I love this drama & Oppa is so handsome... The ending was too sad!!!

David Nov 27 2010 6:43 pm In the end of this movie is not perfect (a little sister's Hong Mo-Ne can not shoot the big brother's Geon-Ok). I hope next time a movie ending is happy or not unhappy. By the way thank you.

Jennifer Vargas Nov 08 2010 8:43 pm For me, Kim Nam Gil is the best actor in the whole world. He's the only one who could make me laugh, cry and feel depressed because of his ability to act so well. In the Great Queen Seon Dok, he showed to us the best actor he could be. I even neglected to work the next day after I fully watched it. It made me feel like I'm the one who've lost him..And in Bad Guy, he just did it again. But as they say, I think they need to continue the story because it's very obvious that they cut it short because he went to the army..It's so unfair to all of his fans...I hope they would come up with a better plot for this story and a how about a great ending..He was found dead under the sky way. The worst way to die, I hope they could change it..More power to you Kim Nam Gil!

yulia maheswari Oct 28 2010 5:47 am this drama really cool

tina Oct 18 2010 2:29 am the best drama that i have ever seen best actor and actress.....brilliant couple.....love them

chazzy Aug 24 2010 7:08 pm I love this drama but why does it have such a sad ending......could someone name a series where kim nam-gil doesn't die:))? Ps. your acting is amazing. Greetings from Romania.

vania Aug 05 2010 6:22 am Hi, I like a lot the soundtrack. can you tell me where is it avaiable for download, thanks a lot.

ledhumour Jul 28 2010 2:05 am Absolutely fantastic drama- buying as soon as it's released!!

joyowon Jul 27 2010 2:57 am I'm loving this drama!!! Personally speaking, I think this will be another a phenomenal Korean Drama Series. It has a good storyline, plus a great casts. Each episodes keeps on getting exciting and so thrilling...Another brilliant performance from Kim Nam Gil along side top actresses Han Ga In, Oh Yeon Soo and Kim Jae Wook.

If you love Kim Nam Gil's portrayal of Bidam in Queen Seon Deok, I recommend you to watch Bad Guy...He display again his wittiness and charming ability here...not to forget his oozing sex appeal...Every girl would definitely fall for this man.

Kim Nam Gil deserves another award here.

angela Jul 23 2010 10:28 am love this.... can't get enough!! Stayed up late last night watching all 12 eps before going to work. Waiting for ep 13 subtitles

NightLizard Jul 20 2010 5:29 pm I started to watch it a few days ago... At first I wanted to watch just the first episode to see if I can watch it later BUT I simle fall in love with this drama: plot is very interesting, great cast and most importantly you can't predict how all this ends up... I watched 11 episodes and I hope it won't disappoint me in the future!

jhen dela cruz Jul 17 2010 6:18 pm KNG's acting here is so amazing!he is a very versatile actor....hope there will be more projects for him when he comes back!!!God Bless KNG!

sylvia May 17 2010 11:41 pm You caught my attention in role as Bidam in Queen Seon Dok. You are amazing actor. Aside from being a charming actor, you have a great potential in your acting carreer because you can act well and you can even deliver your lines well probably because you have a good voice. I hope that this drama will again show again how competent an actor you are. Goodluck and more power
