You Drive Me Crazy (2018)

I gave an overall 10, because it's just 4 episode, but it's perfection.
Nothing is dragged or exaggerated, it flows like poetry.
I'm so full of emotions right now.
The story is simple, yet realistic and the chemistry between the two leads is really there.
It started slow, like a joke you tell your friends, and then it became serious.
They really convey this sense of blurred lines between friendship and love and they didn't rush the trasformation of feelings.

When Rae Wan told Eun Seong "I can't get rid of your smell from my body", i started crying. I don't really know why, but i'm sure: Kim Sun Ho did a terrific job.

Lee Yoo Young is new to me, but I instantly fell for her eyes and she's really good. I have no words to describe Kim Sun Ho, as I said earlier. He's just so so so so so professional.

10 out 10. Recommended to every single human on earth.

My Two Bits:

Awwww.... it's so comfortable so cozy.... such a warm and homey place
Everything you watch is so Everyday...
nothing extraordinary or fancy or miraculous
And yet it's finding the warmth and comfort among those:
Everyday moments Everyday tingling in your heart Everyday tiny struggles
that makes these 2 hours so perfectly pretty

Maybe I'll dream something cozy tonight

The rest is just your personal preference after you've invested in at least Half an hour of your life.

1 from those Cozy Bits.... Are all Bartender Unnis so helpful ????????

Heartwarming and beautiful, short but meaningful.
This drama is so real, so dense and so fun at the same time. It felt great watching it, as you can remember yourself to find beauty in everyday life and that love can move us and change our lives in ways we couldn't ever imagine.
Very well written, because the characters have complex personalities and also have flaws, like everyone. And their chemistry is beyond this world, you can feel it across the screen.
It's heartwarming and adult at the same time, a perfect combination.
I cried a few times, and felt touched by the story, 'cause it's so real.
Everyone who have loved and have being loved will feel the magic in this story.
Watch it if you want a memorable, cute, slice of life, beautiful drama and if you're tired of clichés.

If you're looking for a bit of fluff in between your normal dramas then look no further than You Drive Me Crazy!!

STORY -

It's relatively simple enough: best friends sleep together, best friends are awkward about it and then angst ensues. There's nothing overly complicated about the plot, but with only four episodes, that's pretty standard. What's amazing, however, about that is the fact that for only four episodes, this drama had a way of making me feel so much for its two main leads. When there was angst, my heart genuinely ached for them because of how much you could feel they loved each other but were too afraid to go there. There are some 16+ episode dramas where I didn't even feel that for the main leads and I've spent hours and hours watching them interact, but these two managed to twist into my heart within 4 episodes. Less even! I fell in love with them within the first 30 mins of the drama!

The story isn't perfect by any means, but it just doesn't seem to matter because the two main leads had such natural chemistry that they made any plot, any piece of dialogue or skinship work without feeling jarring. The way Rae Wan looked at Eun Seong made even my heart flutter. It was so raw and powerful and that's without even a word said between them.

ACTING -

So that brings me to the acting and I have to say it was flawless. All of the actors were perfect in their role, even the supporting ones, but honestly, I hardly really noticed the supporting cast. Since it was only four episodes, of course most of the scenes were between Kim Sun Hoo and Lee You Young, which is just fine by me because like I said, the natural chemistry between them really elevated what should be a very simple and cliched story. Absolutely beautiful acting!

MUSIC -

Not particularly noticeable except for Kim Sung Joo's song, which is so sweet and wonderful. I didn't know who he was before this drama but wow, I love him!!

REWATCH? Whenever I'm in need of some sweetness, hell yeah I'll come back to this!!

OVERALL... I know sometimes we just need some fluff after a really intense drama or in between really intense dramas, so please, please give this one a go!

I ended up watching You Drive Me Crazy because I was kind of in a slump with what I should watch next and I wasn't impressed honestly. I think the story had a lot of potential to be so much more, but it just didn't meet those expectations for me. I know that this was supposed to be a slice-of-life with no-insta love, which I was totally cool with, but I don't think their was enough plot there. We barely got to really understand how close the characters really were, so their relationship was kind of abrupt. The romance was okay, but it was the ending with the 1 year gap that kind of felt like a cop out to me and overall unrealistic. The pacing wasn't too slow but it just wasn't quite what I wanted either. I was expecting 4, 1 hour long episodes, not 4, 30 minute long episodes (I know, I should have checked first)....why didn't they just make this a movie if it was going to total to 2 hours anyways? I think as a movie it would have probably been executed smoother rather than breaking everything up over 4 episodes. I wasn't disappointed in the drama nor do I regret watching it, but it's not something I would rewatch or recommend either.

Truth be told.... I would watch Kim Sun Ho in anything! He comes from a theater background and it shows in his work.

Um, Lee Yoo Young I don't think I've seen her in anything else, but in 4 episodes we get the in-depth look of a couple in crisis of not really communicating.

My boyfriend did not like her at all. It was good to get his pov while watching this. He couldn't see why Wan would let Seong stay at his place for so long. So, if you can get over this bump, then you can watch the whole thing. My boyfriend didn't.

Honestly, the drama felt like a play and that's OK. It was good to see them eating and drinking (this did go on a good bit) and some other stuff which you will have to watch to find out.

Backtracking just what went wrong? Questioning friendships vs. relationships. Lots of grownup things going on in this one. And the chance of meeting someone new.

My biggest complaint...her hedgehog. How could she?

I like the supporting cast very much. I liked the music to this drama, as well. It was a satisfying time to watch this drama.

8/10 for content, not my enjoyment

I can see why this got high ratings. My rating, strangely, is based on how I SHOULD have felt about the drama, not how I ACTUALLY felt (more of a 6.5-7/10). The fact that I could rate it this high when I wasn't feeling it is due to Kim Seon Ho.

What I loved:
1. Kim Seon Ho as Kim Rae Wan. I love him as an actor. He was excellent in this. I could feel his patience with her behavior (I knew before he did that he was in love. Only someone in love could put up with her.), as well as his vulnerability. He did a great job of portraying someone that is coming to terms with his feelings, and once he does, he's brave enough to verbalize those feelings.
2. The song You Drive Me Crazy. The scene where that was being sung was so special and Kim Seon Ho just blew me away, yet again.
3. His house. Sure, it has nothing to do with the storyline, but I loved it nonetheless.

What I hated:
1. The character of Han Eun Seong. Lee Yoo Young did a great job to make me hate this character so much, but the fact that she was self-absorbed, inconsiderate, bossy, fickle, and had issues with alcohol really ruined my enjoyment of this show. I have to like SOMETHING about a character in order to root for them, and I just felt that he was so much better than her and he was better off when she left. And after the obligatory time jump, she appeared to not have improved at all, as evidenced by just boldly letting herself into his house. It felt like she knew he would just be waiting for her. It made me mad.
2. Pervasive use of alcohol. Everything that happened, happened as a result of being drunk. Emotions are not real or reliable when clouded by alcohol.
3. Time jump. I understand that she was afraid, but she didn't seem like the kind of person that would be true to a man (especially since she never admitted how she felt about him) for a year. So, for me, the idea that she might have been with someone else while she was gone really lessened the love in this love story. (I know I'm projecting here, but that's what I kept thinking as I was watching this.)

I realize that most people are not as judgmental as I am, so my suggestion would be to give it a try. It's only four episodes.

Oh boy, this drama is intimately warm and beautiful. Though the plot is conventional like best friends-turned-to-lovers, the storyline delivered with coziness. Nothing is dragged, the progress of each character is not under or overly done.

What I like about this mini-drama is the feeling of being comfortable with someone, it could be in a way of friendship or more than that. I like the chemistry of the two leads, it was superb, it makes sense, it makes you smile, it makes you realized that nothing is wrong to profess your feelings, don’t be afraid of the circumstances because it is scarier and regretful if you have done nothing at all.

To all friends turned into lovers, this drama is for you!

A sinopse desse drama foi uma das que mais me enganaram até hoje, preciso confessar que iniciei esse drama super animada pensando que ia ser uma romance cotidiano bem gostosinho de assistir, mas parece que faltou algo para que isso realmente funcionasse pra mim.

Antes de mais nada quero dizer que achei fofíssimo o bichinho de estimação da protagonista, é bem interessante como as profissões dos personagens principais fugiram ao padrão do que comumente aparece em doramas., e que a OST é bem legal.

Claro não se pode esperar muito de um mini drama, mas por algum motivo assisti os episódios com a esperança de algo que aquecesse o meu coração ou me fizesse apaixonar junto com os protagonistas, mas não foi bem assim.

E o clichê separação por motivo bobo atacou novamente, e eu me perguntei será mesmo que precisava disso? Até entendo que a protagonista não queria namorar seu melhor amigo por medo de perdê-lo se o relacionamento não desse certo, mas ficar 1 longo ano nesse chove não molha? Achei bem desnecessário isso, e é justamente por esse motivo que pontuei esse mini drama com a nota 5.

É excelente ? Não!

É péssimo? Também não!

Dá pra passar o tempo? Sim, é bem curtinho e acaba muito rápido!

For a four episode drama, this drama was able to present the richness of the bestfriends-turned-to-lovers trope. To be able to convey the emotions really well considering the short length of the drama is a feat considering that it really takes time to build chemistry among the characters and actors. Lee Yooyoung and Kim Sunho really made my heart gush with that heart-stopping chemistry. Their portrayal of their characters were so on-point. Every scene felt as if that was reality. Watching it feels like you are meddling with the two-- that's how realistic the drama felt.

The thing is, the drama follows a cliché plotline which for some is a negative factor, but I think they shouldn't dismiss this just because of that. Execution wise this drama did great. It never felt dragging. It was just fine for its length.

I can rewatch this drama many times and I believe that it can also be the case for the people who viewed or who are to view it.
