Bad Guys: City of Evil sets itself apart from its parent drama, Bad Guys. The way the writer ties in the parent drama into this one is simple and sets the tone of it being in the same universe, but ensuring that this drama is not its parent, and has a story of its own that is carried out in a completely different manner and for different reasons than the original. No watcher should go into City of Evil expecting the same story or something too similar to the original Bad Guys—you'll be disappointed and won't be able to enjoy the story as much if you expect it to be so.

The story itself is an okay one, but one that most of us who have watched dramas surrounding corruption and prosecution should expect with a few twists and turns that give City of Evil it's heart. As it gets towards the end it loses some of the plot and some plots holes (to me) never really get resolved or in the midst of so many plot devices, get lost in the overall story. However, the gem in this drama isn't the story line, but the heart of the cast who did a beyond amazing job with their characters. There isn't one character you won't be rooting for, you won't cry for, from main cast to supporting—and if you watch close enough, you may recognize a familiar face or two from Bad Guys. Above all, Bad Guys and City of Evil are the exact same in one area—the teamwork and camaraderie between the characters is really admirable and what I really watch for.

It's packed with great action scenes, and the music score and OSTs from the drama help set a really great mood for such a dark drama. I don't think I'll really ever rewatch this drama much as I did Bad Guys, but I overall really enjoyed watching it and suggest it for somebody who wants an action packed drama with really great acting. It dives right into the chaos and you just get to go along for the ride.

I am trying to be fair when writing about this drama. From the first episode to the last I just saw a bunch of men brawling: there was brawling in a building, brawling a another building , brawling in a hotel , brawling on the wharf brawling in an underground garage and yet more brawling. The story was the typical Korean corruption story, good guys make a step and then fall 3 steps behind. If you like this kind of drama then you will enjoy this.
Why I was disappointed?

The characters:
The first 'Bad Guys' hit me hard. It was different. The criminals were not just senseless persons that went around throwing their fists- 'me man lets see who fists is tougher' while beating their chest. They were intelligent.

The story:
I am not comparing this to the first Bad Guys but I would think that if I am making something of the idea of something else then I would at least make it have something of the original. The first was an original the second was made from a blueprint of every other Korean drama out there. The only thing that was missed was amnesia. (I guess that would have been too ridiculous) If the child have not characteristics of its parents then it was probably adopted.

If you want a good action show I would recommend watching Heartless City instead.
