Great actors, off the charts chemistry!
Hands down one of the very best in the past few years!Since the great era of kdramas from 2010 to nearly 2020 there have not been a lot of good dramas coming out - in my opinion of course. But this one was really, really good from start to finish! I think it aired at the same time as a business proposal, which I did not enjoy nearly as much as this one.
Plot was good, actors were great and really nailed their roles - no acting out of character once and not a lot of overacting (unfortunately it happens a lot with those romcoms, happened just once here). No boring moment, I did not skip at all. A "grown up" romance, without any unnecessary drama, break ups or stupid misunderstandings - how refreshing!

One of the best enemies to lovers trope
The show start with a masterpiece of a plot. I've never laughed so much at a kdrama. The leads chemistry and humour were amazing. I loved their fights and every episode I was exited.Until they got together. I'm not the kind of audience who drops the drama after the leads start dating, but in this case the story really became boring after.
They never told each other anything and besides some hugs I actually forgot that they're a couple.
It's a shame really, the beginning was the best.

I'm going to miss this one!
This one is honestly such a weird one to rate because my excitement and level of interest for this drama has been a constant rollercoaster throughout the episodes. The first half or so of the drama I was mostly having to almost force myself to watch because it just wasn’t catching my attention as much as I had hoped. I was always intrigued by the characters and the general plot but for some reason, the execution was somewhat dull and probably slower than I would have liked. However, somewhere along the way I ended up falling in love with the characters and the story and I can definitely say I’m a big fan of Crazy Love now. The ending was an absolute cheese-fest, and I do admit that the episodes following the main leads getting together could’ve been better. Based off of my level of entertainment throughout this drama, I probably rated it a tad too high, however I really love the overall idea of this drama and the characters in it, so I’m giving it a bumped up rating for that. I would recommend this one 100% though!Questa recensione ti è stata utile?
Crazy & Worth the Watch!
This series is fun and filled with life lessons. The twists towards the end you don't see coming. The love interest's journey to get together didn't feel forced or unbelievable. ML (Kim Jae Wook) hits every beat of the dynamic challenges of his character and how the edge of his character begins to soften throughout. The FL (Krystal Jung) held her own in giving us range of emotion in both verbal and non-verbal communication. The second couple was cute. I am glad that writers made the decision to focus more on the journey of the main characters instead of forcing a full second couple storyline. OST was nice and not overbearing. Production was well done. However, certain scenes started to feel redundant with the SFL. The weaving of how so many people can become the culprit for different reasons was well played. How this series dealt with trauma and loss hit home and rang true to how one can have closed off and reactionary displays of emotion. This is definitely worth the watch!NOTE: So many people are missing out on this jewel because it is hard to find and is not loaded on many platforms. Even on YouTube it only shows clips and not episodes. But once you are able to find and watch this drama, it will become one of your favorites.

A very good beginning and then...an average drama
First, I really LOVED the first part more than anything, up to episode 7 if I'm not mistaken. It was very, very funny, FL doing everything to piss ML off and him not being able to do anything about it because he would be lying, if it followed that story to the end, it would be a solid 8/8.5 for me.My problem with this drama was from the middle to the end, I didn't understand why this one started to focus more on mystery and corruption than the original story and for me, it became very boring. I wanted to see the dynamic of the two between I'm going to do everything I can since I'm going to die and him have to put up with it. Also, why did they end the cancer plot early? It was something that once again, made the story more interesting.
Another thing that I just rolled my eyes at and made me lower my grade quite a bit was that ML just ALLOWED or REHIRED all the villains again,. when they just wanted to hurt him,.... like, without any sense at all.
And let's not even talk about the drastic personality change he had, first he was a methodical boss and out of nowhere he started forgiving everyone? To me, it was not well written.
Anyway, I started the drama with hype and ended up finding it to be a disappointment.

Not bad not great
My main takeaway from this is that the transition from enemies to lovers between the leads wasn’t believable. They were also lacking in the chemistry department, imo. Something super grating was how timid/meek the FL would act sometimes. She lost all her pre revenge confidence at some point and became almost like a prop for the ML’s character development. The second half of the drama is full of mystery plots that weren’t that intriguing. The motivations behind the ppl driving the mystery plots were weak. There were no real consequences for their actions either. Someone being a major asshole doesn’t justify stalking, death threats, actual murder attempts, and destroying their livelihoods. I started skipping scenes after episode 10.Questa recensione ti è stata utile?

Very underrated
Easily one of the best rom-com dramas ! Since I watched it when it was still airing I found it very light and entertaining. In my opinion although I shouldn't compare but this is better than "Her private life" but that one was better promoted. This one is so funny and less boring than "Her private life" and the story is simple yet so funny and entertaining,I feel it's sad that it didn't get more attention! I loved the enemy to lovers trope and I was worried about the chemistry because of the main leads' age gap but they were phenomenal together !!Questa recensione ti è stata utile?
Surprenant
Je ne m'attendais pas a aimé réellement cette série car je n'étais tout d'abord pas conquise par l'actrice que j'avais vu joué dans d'autres séries qui ne m'ont vraiment pas plu (ou son personnage qui m'agaçait! ) et j'avais peur que cette série répète le même scénario mais je me trompais !J'adore les dramas qui parlent de romance "au bureau" et qui ne me casse pas la tête avec des scénarios trop poussés et autres. J'ai beaucoup aimé l'idée de base de l'histoire et au final, j'ai fini la série en seulement deux jours.
Kim Jae Wook est toujours un très bon acteur qui, je trouve, choisis bien ses séries : l'ayant découvert dans le drama Voice (qui d'ailleurs est également une superbe série), il ne m'a pas déçue !
J'enlèverais quelques points dans ma note finale pour certains côtés de la série que j'aurais voulu voir mis plus en avant à l'écran mais Crazy Love reste une série que je reverrais sûrement, ou du moins quelques moments !

"Crazy Love" is bat-shit crazy and I love it! I rolled on the floor laughing at Kim Jae Wook and Krystal Jung trying to tear each other's hair out in this enemies-to-lovers romance. Fed up with how her narcissistic boss treats other employees (including her), Lee Shin A hatches a revenge plan after learning that she does not have much time to live. Her plans changed when No Go Jin ends up losing his memory on the same night she visited his house. Thinking this as her perfect opportunity, Lee Shin A pretends to be her boss' fake fiancée so she can execute her vengeance. I really liked Kim Jae Wook as the anti-hero: the overbearing and self-indulgent CEO who made a lot of people's lives a living hell, judging from the numerous death treats he received. He is seemingly unconcerned that everyone has their beef with him that even the police couldn't flush out the culprit behind his attack that landed him in the hospital. Krystal Jung is doubly sweet and at the same time devilish as the secretary-turned-psycho, or at least trying to be one, but really did not have the heart to actually hurt her boss other than throwing onions at him or punching holes in his clothes.
Other secondary characters like Park Yang Tae, No Go JIn's competitor and Gong Pil Sun, the company's cleaner are also a hoot along with the rest of the GoTop's staff. But the cherry on top would be No Go Jin's redemption arc as the love he has for Shin A melted his cold, cruel heart and he learns to treat people as humans.
You would think that a drama that jampacked on all the tropes imaginable would be cliché but no, it's pure fun and entertainment at its best.

awesome!
this Drama is funny, romantic, dramatic and full of Surprises. you'll never get bored. the plot Is interesting and even thou the trope "enemies to lovers" has been explored many times, this drama does a good job at not falling into kitsch cliches. the acting is really good and by the end of it you'll even start thinking "what..another plot twist?". the romance is on point and the actors make a good job. highly rewatchable. there is something for everyone to enjoy. the only point I was kind of disappointed is that there is not really a "hot" scene between the main leads, but that's nothing new in the k dramas.lots of real kisses thou. (not the usual still and stiff kisses you get in many dramas).

Awesome up until episode 13!
The Good⌲ The unique & fun romance
⌲ The acting
⌲ The subverted tropes (not all tropes though)
⌲ The fun second couple (I wish they had more screen time)
⌲ The pillow fight!
⌲ Most - but not all- annoyances were dealt with very quickly.
The Average
⌲ The love triangle (not bad not great ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
⌲ The ex-secretary club (I don't think the writer knew what she wanted to do with them)
The Bad
⌲ ML's jarringly forced character growth(s) in the later episodes!
⌲ All the horrible corporate and vengeance plots in the later episodes!
⌲ The lack of fluff in the later episodes
⌲ The ending feels super forced. (As much as I like a nicely wrapped happy ending, I would rather have loose ends, than everything resolved like this)
