The chemistry was great, the teamwork was great,” Lee said of his co-star.</p><p>Apart from the “bromance” between the leads, viewers can also expect exhilarating action scenes. The teaser videos showed Wi in an thrilling motorcycle ride and both actors engaging in brawls.</p><p>Lee said in jest that the biggest challenge in filming the action scenes was “overcoming my laziness.”</p><p>“I did not practice at all. I seem to be the one who put in the least effort here,” Lee said, drawing laughter and an applause from his co-stars.</p><p>“I shot a lot of scenes for this drama. I appeared from the beginning until the end. If you have action scenes in between, I could not afford to give my 200 percent for those scenes,” he explained.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OV0Buf_qh6Q?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>Lee also praised Wi as an “amazing action actor” for volunteering to do the action scenes instead of relying on a stunt double.</p><p>For his part, Wi said portraying “K” was fresh for him because the character was a comic relief, a total opposite of the actor’s personality.</p><p>“So I watched a lot of comedy TV shows and films. I’m not very funny in real life but I try to maintain that aspect of my character on set… so I tried to make jokes on the set, tried to stay in character,” said Wi, who gained international popularity this year through the hit survival series “Squid Game.”</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/10/18/21/netflixs-squid-game-estimated-to-be-worth-about-900m-bloomberg-news">Netflix&#x27;s &#x27;Squid Game&#x27; estimated to be worth about $900M - Bloomberg News</a></li></ul><p>“Bad and Crazy” also stars Han Ji-eun and K-pop artist Cha Hak-yeon, who play the ex-girlfriend to Lee’s character, and a sweet and persevering cop, respectively.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/09/23/21/korean-wave-hits-iqiyi-as-2021-comes-to-a-close">Korean shows, films hit iQiyi as 2021 comes to a close</a></li></ul>
