Landing in VNY; pilot flying was the PIC which was very quiet and tired had a difficult time to do a VOR-B approach in Van Nuys since we had 2;000 BKN we end up too high short final and no ground contact. 119.3 advise him to do the published miss and PF asked the guy to circle over the airport opposite direction of the MAP turn. Finally after loosing 1;000 feet from 2;000 we saw the ground over top of the airport and he just pretended that we were doing a visual approach with full landing configuration Flap 30+ landing gear for 10 minutes from the beginning of the first VOR-B approach to overhead and wrong turn to join the beginning of the downwind leg Runway 16R at 1;000 feet to finally turn to land while in and out of clouds even though so dangerously close to ground.
Pilot reported a CFTT event during a visual approach in marginal weather conditions when the co-pilot turned the wrong way on a published missed approach procedure; lost 1;000 feet of altitude; and joined the traffic pattern while flying in and out of clouds.
