I started it on midday and ended it at night.
People who want to have action and an amazing story which is not really connected to the world where we live will be disappointed.

However I loved how realistic it was. From beginning to end I was excited, shocked and realised that just little things can change a whole matter, your whole life, your character and surrounding.

This drama has a really good ending.
The acting was amazing.
The music fits really good.
... and I will rewatch it to unterstand it better.

Money can drive people crazy and these nine episodes are the proof.

That is an interesting drama.This drama is basically about obsession, revenge, may be also exaggerated desire. If you are looking for an action oriented revenge tearjerker drama, you shall GIVE UP on this one. The story is acceptable and speaking of this drama I guess that is a good thing. I really liked it that they did not force the story to become something epic. Nothing new, nothing too complicated, simply ok. Many of you may even find it boring. But I did not, beacuse I really liked the acting. All the caracters were convincing and the actors also fit their role. You do not even notice their act, for what I always give a 10. Matsuyama on the other hand, was...? I do not know may be creepy? May be because he is a natural sulky person, or his acting talent is gorgeous, either way he is the main component. There is nothing to say about the music, I barely remember it, and I also think that rewatch value is probably lower than I rated. But I strangely liked this drama. It really shows how people can turn into slaves of their emotions, desires and ignorance. I also think that the drama is pretty succesfull because even there is nothing spectecular other than Matsuyama,when I think about the drama I have a depressive, suffocating, wrathful feeling. Well it may not work the same for you. I do NOT sorely recommend you this one. Give it a try and see your self.

Underrated and poignantly realistic
Sadly touching.
I prefer dramas like this.
Mimura drew me into the show but Kinami Haruka touched my heart.
This leaves an impression on you, a lasting one.
What is trust what is love?
Revenge? Is Revenge worth it?
Is it better to lose your shot at revenge: forgive and forget  and try to get gain happiness instead?
A story about priorities. And how we most of the time choose the wrong ones
Realizing too late that we made the wrong choices.
Hindsight is 20/20 after all...

I do not want to rewatch this but I probably should when in a midlife crisis and need to re-access my priorities  haha

excellent tragedy

too good for words... writing and acting are genius. modern tragedy that resembles no other drama. the ML is self-destructive in a painful way while going up the social ladder. no salvation. it's a sad story abt a young man unable to escape a traumatic childhood and enjoying his living hell. even when committing the most horrendous sins, he is still so humane, bearing pain and trying to do the right thing.
one objection though... the ML is too handsome for this to pass as realistic, and so are the other characters. not your average neighbour in any way.
the ML is breathtaking, and so is the child actor playing young ML. the honest poor family is too. every single character is worth the praise in this cathartic drama.
excellent to the last detail.

This series had such an psychological impact on me, it left me speechless at how much circumstances can change the life of people. I was never a fan of material things but after watching it I understood something important : people are capable of many things! The reality is much worse, ambition rules the world and if you enter the circle there is no way out.

Watch this drama without hesitation

First, my greetings to the Japanese drama, which is characterized by its short duration and the gravity of its events, after the most of Japanese drama I become
full of feelings to the point that I do not know to express what I feel, and this is what happened in this beautiful drama Crazy Money. Secondly, my greetings to the heroes of the drama, especially the hero, he gave me the feeling that he is not real from the abundance of creativity in performance. Third, the story, which showed the importance of money and that sometimes it becomes a curse that curses those who need it.In this drama, the hero almost lacks any feeling except the desire to take revenge and get money, and if in return for this he will kill or destroy, he destroyed his world and the points of light in it, starting with his girlfriend in childhood and then his wife, who loved him unconditionally until he destroyed the family that gave him some hope, but at the end he tried to save them. Unfortunately, he failed to save himself, and I am deeply saddened by the last episode, as it showed the contradiction between what happened and what would have happened if circumstances had been different. In the end I offer my greetings for this work and that I am hard to skip it.
