Witty, Romantic, Crazy Love Story

Romance, thrills, mystery, redemption, and forgiveness. Crazy Live brings it all to the table in a thoroughly witty, oft times scary, and uber exciting way.

The actors are flawless. The pace of the drama is sprightly, I found myself rewatching some of the best scenes.

I've been a fan of Kim JaeWook since I started watching K dramas. He's really the epitome of a cool, uber intelligent, very handsome guy. Here he plays a Math genius. His history is revealed thru the show. He is the lynchpin of this drama. His acting was phenomenal, superb, honest, real and quite sexy.

The rest of the cast were excellent. Each performance enhanced the main story. Krystal Jung and Ha Jun were great & so important to this show.

The story is so much more than an office romance or competition. Through adversity, the characters were able to flourish. Office intrigue, evil plots, villains, villians turned into partners, crazy times, a delightfully refreshing, exhilarating and complex dramady.

Also, to me a prerequisite of a truly romantic drama is resolution of the main protagonists' relationship. Crazy Love did just that.

In summary, please watch this drama. You will laugh, be enchanted, become cheerleaders and you may realize that in the end, it isn't money, fancy cars, clothes, homes, or status that brings fulfillment; it's the way you treat yourself and others. Be true, kind, forgive what you can forgive, throw off old biases and hurts, acknowledge your past deeds, seek forgiveness from others, and love yourself.

Quirky, Dark, Mysterious, Would You Dance with A Devil

Tomoya Nakamura plays the lead, Goro Akechi, who is a wealthy heir to a major company, handsome, dashing, quirky (wears a flamboyant ruby suit & bolero), a sweet smile but he looks quite haunted. He spends his days detecting and eating great food. 1st real case- Plain, ordinary, frumpy woman comes to his office/home worried that her husband is having an affair, played by Eiko Koike. Akechi solves the case, presents her with the evidence & next day, husband is killed. Then starts the dangerous duel between evil and good. Along the way, there are mysteries to be solved, many of which bear an eery resemblance to the Women's case. Akechi loves the Bento Box food truck near his office & starts a friendship with Ichigo Kobayashi (Fuka Koshiba), young, bright, cute & a great cook. From the initial encounter with the Wife, to the end 8 episodes later, we are treated to a feast of food, danger, detecting, terror, murders, mayhem. I was bewitched by the 1st episode. Horo Akechi is handsome, dashing, witty, brilliant, quirky, but underneath it all is a man looking for love and great food. Nine powerful episodes later, I wonder if I actually don't know Akechi at all. Nine powerful episodes. Can you detect what will happen in each episode? Why do people kill?

SUPERB SUSPENSEFUL ROMANTIC DRAMA

Magnificent Drama. From start to finish - witty, exciting, suspenseful, romantic, life affirming. The two lead actors were spectacular to the point that they were real three-dimensional humans. Park Min-Young was such a great fighter!! She is one of my favorite actresses frim the 1st time I saw her in What's Wrong With Secretary Kim. Her match was Na In Woo, who I had not seen before, but he was fantastic - super handsome, kind, considerate, brilliant, a planner, romantic!!

I loved her dad, his smile just charmed me. Wouldn't it be nice to have such a person in your life?

There are so many key aspects to this show - romance, destruction, redemption, memories, evil, greed, jealousy, love, friendship, protection. You will not have one dull moment.

Shout out to other key players - the evil duo were fantastic; the lawyer and the lady I think he loves - but why no confession?, the incredibly handsome, sweet, sincere chef and the ebullient cheeky sis, the judo friends, the jealous creepy woman - who could like her?

Plus, what I always crave in a romantic drama but rarely happens. This drama delivered in spades.

From start to finish, you will wish for no interruptions and want to spend 16 hours in sheer bliss.

Thank you to all cast, writers, production teams, writers, subtitlists, sound, music, sets, .... I know that like What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, that I will return to this drama again and again for an uplifting, dramatic, oft scary, romantic roller coaster ride.

Note that I've now placed all of Na In Woo's ouvre in my queue.
