A drama that screams: “I AM CRINGE BUT I AM FREE”
This drama is a total riot. It’s absurd and chaotic and funny and then slowly it becomes warm and fuzzy.Crazy Love pokes fun and essentially trolls all the well-known tropes in K-Drama: the narcissistic boss vs helpless secretary, amnesia, cancer (in this case it’s misdiagnosed), hospitalization, photo manips (the worst and yet funnniest manips you’ll ever see!!), over the top rival, and even some horror jumpscares.
They use these tropes and in each episode they flip them on their own heads - it’s something that’s never been done before in K-Drama. This drama is just plain absurd, freaky, but it’s also very funny and led by two leads who give it their all. You won’t recognize Ice Princess Krystal Jung and Cool Kim Jaeuck. They’re both 110% into their roles as the messiest, funniest Michin Couple.
The first episode is not that good (messy pacing I think) but it tremendously gets better on the 2nd episode, and then hits it off by the third episode. Third and fourth episodes are true riots. I had never laughed so hard! Krystal and Jaeuck are so good at comedy it’s so mindblowing!
All I can say is sit back, relax and enjoy some cringe, dark comedy, slapstick, and fun conspiracy theories.

Glorious Angst with an awkward ending.
One of the best angsty drama ever. The plot, the story, the romance and acting are top notch. I was so invested in the leads especially in LJG’s arc. His acting is wow. He completely disappears into the character.I also appreciate the psychological aspect of how community judges people with undesirable family history/ those who are different.
My only complaint is we could do without the incident in the last episode. But overall very solid. Rewatch if you want to feel all the angst. And lastly it has one of the most rewarding kissing scenes.
