I'm sulking right along with you tipsymocha. Why?!!!!! This is so not fair. And with the way they ended the first season, I had high hopes that our team will return for the second season. That they didn't even reach out to the actors' agencies speak volume. And although I love Park Sung Woong and I hope the show does well, I have this pit of disappointment because urgh! I needed to see the original crew return. The only thing that would make it better? If they do a reprise at the end of the show with the old Bad Guys and the new Bad Guys running into each other. *sigh*

I'm all for this if it also means Kim Sung-oh signs on and then it's revealed their cameo from Police Unit 38 was actually them working undercover (and mebbe doing some bribery business on the side just to, ah, keep up appearances, yeah).

Can they have the original cast at least guest star? Just seeing them on the screen together might ease my broken heart :((

I'm actually not as devastated at this news as I thought I'd be--sequels are incredibly hard to make under normal circumstances, and it does appear the original cast is pretty busy. Plus, I rather like that I can make up my own ending for our original crew--that way, if this take 2 does go south, I can easily pretend it never existed. Thanks for the news, tipsymocha!

Well it soulded too good to actually be true and now i'm sad,very sad...And even more seeing how they bluntly lie while all the actors say that they didn't recive offers to return...Part of why the show was sooo good was the cast...Why even call the show Bad Guys,wanting to ride the fame of it's predecesor eh...

I love Park Sung Woong a lot so i'll watch just for him alone yet i'm still sad we aren't getting our favorite rag team back...It would have been so much fun seeing them develop after the timeskip...I think if they really wanted they could have reuinite them,if not all half more than sure...

Sadly I was already half-expecting they wouldn't extend the offer to Park Hae-jin because of last year's fiasco with OCN's sister channel, but it seems like they're just going with an all-new cast. I like Park Sung-woong though so I'm cautiously optimistic.

I love Sungwoong, so I'm already all in. As mentioned on my Twitter, if Taehoon reprises as Prosecutor Oh (listen I need closure for this man) I will commit seppuku and hurl myself sideways off a cliff because I'm not ready for this reunion

I'm also sulking right along with you. I really want crazy dog and his band of 'lovable' criminals to grace my screen once again. Sigh...

At least we'll get Park Sun-woong.

Well now, this is just sad.
It'a like WoonGwamg's taking over K's job. ?

The cast was my entire reason for wanting a second season.

Awww..i wouldve loved to see them all back together.
I will still keep an eye out for the spinoff and the actors who will be cast for the new season.

Such sad news. I was really looking forward for the whole or at least the majority of the cast to come back. Bad Guys was one of my 1st noir Kdrama that I watched, and I really enjoyed it. I liked Park Sung Woong in Hidden Identity, and I am planning to watch Man to Man, so depending on how that goes, it will determine if I get over this sad news.

I... I don't know how to feel about this.

It's like stealing my ice cream for a promise of a nice cake.

On one hand, I liked the original crew and wanted to see them together again. But on the other hand, Park Sung-woong!!

I really like him. He is so handsome and charismatic. His intelligent and cool character in Hidden Identity was fine, but he is fabulous at funny/quirky roles too like his role in Remember (loved his accent).

I am both happy and sad about this news. I loved the original cast, but a spinoff, if done well has the potential to be just as good.

Give a different name, why use "Bad Gus" and not the same cast???

Literally the only thing that can do this news justice:?????????
(And a rewatch of the first season)

Ah! Bummer!! One of the reasons the original drama was such a hit was because of its cast. It really sucks that they couldn't bring back any of the original cast members. Not even in cameos or as guest stars in a few episodes?! What a downer!! Why bother naming it after the original drama if they're going to replace everyone?

Aw man. I really liked the original Bad Guys gang (Ma Dong-seok! Park Hae-jin! Jo Dong-hyuk! Omg, ~so charismatic~) but I also really like Park Sung-woong (also ~so charismatic~), so... ??‍♀️

I'll just finish watching the first season and look forward to the spinoff. I look forward to find out who will round out the cast for the spinoff.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'll be joining in on the sulking

Watching Park Hye Jin in Man to Man, I kinda want Park Bo Gum in this project. I want to see him playing bad guy like that. He played bad in Hello Monster before but this is a different kind of bad guy. Its cool if he changes the images after every project. I know he might be too big for cable but if he can take any project similar to that. .

i liked the original, but im okay with the spinoff too. didnt expect much from the possible reunion/sequel coz we all know they are busy people ?

Oh, no! I was waiting for news about the sequel and I get this?! I so badly wanted to see our bad guys working together again! No innocent psychopath? Gangster ahjussi? Sad hit-man? What about our Detective? No?

Sulked!

It's not surprising that they couldn't get all four guys to return (didn't like Kang Ye Won in that role tbh), but I was hoping we'd at least get to see one or two of them :( Well, at least Park Sung Woong is a promising "replacement".

Oh, WHY ??!!

Jo Dong-hyuk was so badass. I can do without the others, but at least him. *pouts*

Not disappointed, I hoped it'll be a spinoff. (Except i wanted them to have three badass ladies portraying a black widow, harley queen and mad nerd scientist gal with a police officer to try to guide them)

I really think it would be boring to have the main cast all over again. A short cameo would suffice.

Why do they even bother to call it Bad Guys 2 and get all our hopes up?!?!?!

Just call it something else!!! :(:(:(

BOOOOOOOOOO!! Man i was so looking forward to this and my heart just sank when i read the headline. I knew the chances were slim that they would get the old cast back but the fact that they didnt even try just seems petty and extra rude!

Oh man, I looooved the cast of Bad Guys. I'm all for a spinoff, but...couldn't they do a proper sequel, maybe postponing it until all the original cast member were available, and also the spinoff?

Don't call it Bad Guys Season 2 then. I mean if the story is different and the whole cast is new and we have all new characters then this drama isn't Bad Guys at all. Just give it another title. Do not ride the fame of the first one and call it a Bad Guys season 2 when it is not.

I think because of there's still one more case at the ending at season 1 that unresolved yet, so I'm looking foward it.. so sad that season 2 not involves any characters from season 1.. And because we already have those strong formerly characters, whether you like it or not, this season 2 will be compared with season 1. Well i hope they wisely choose the actors/actress, since the formerly bad guys really made very deep memories and gave a huge imprint on our heart.
