  • Crazy Love

    9. Crazy Love

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    A "traditional" kdrama, with a tsundere and a woman in need. The outline of the story was good, but the manuscript would have gained from more silliness and better dialogue. Particularly the love story was not made believable, and the personal development of all in the drama was too sudden and weird. OK drama. But at least their love story was better than Drinking Solo.
