Cops and teamwork, always a winner, right? Pretty close in this case. The good cops are pretty damn pure and the dirty cops are as "Signal"-level filthy as can be. If that's how you like them, "Crash" is indeed a winner. The only thing that really detracts from the experience of watching it is Disney's 14 minutes of farkin' ads per episode.

The story is fairly standard but well put together. I liked the traffic setting, which placed the action outside and on the road a lot. The character writing is not wholly original but damn well made. It really has everything you expect from a Korean police drama. The pace is fast but the plot does not leave the characters behind. In fact the development of the storyline and that of the characters are unusually well balanced. If anything suffered, it was the car transmissions that were asked to do impossible things in reverse. I'll have to ding it a bit for wrapping lines up a bit too early and leaving the final episode hanging around like an awkward epilogue. But with everything else packed pretty tight into 11 episodes they did leave their options open to use it as a segue into a second run.

The casting was near perfect, heroes and villains alike, with one notable large fly in the milk. UNPOPULAR OPINION: Lee Min-ki still can't act his way out of a wet paper bag. This show was an opportunity to shine for many of the male actors as Heo-Seong-tae and Ha Seong-kwang were perfect fits for their roles. Hyo Ji-won and Kang Go-doong played one of the most perfect ever pairs of despicable, overprivileged little turds. On the other side, Kwak Seon-yeong looked like she was having the time of her life in her role. Overall (except for That One Guy who has no idea what "fun" looks like) everyone looked like they were having *fun* acting in this show.

I'll recommend "Crash" to anyone who digs a cop show where the good guys are Good, the bad guys are Bad, and the car chases are wild and absurd.
