You Drive Me Crazy (2018)

Stuck in my mind

This series is a gem, for those of us who had a crush or lingering feelings on our best friends would for sure understand after watching it.
The screenplay is perfect , but how the actors delivery it, I'm missing the intense chemistry, for 2 friends who know each others deepest secret, the pressure would be at a higher level for sure. Unfortunately the OST was also not the best, they could have done better with it.
What I couldn't understand about the series is them staying apart 1 year and re connecting like nothing seriously happened. Seriously, people , especially passionate people don't get things sorted out like this, and not this fast. I was expecting much more drama, the ending seemed rushed.
But overall, I enjoyed it, as we always enjoy movies/ drama that either deliver a story that we dream abut or a story that we can relate from our personal history.

A Quickie Fluffy & Light Adult Romcom

>> The plot is nothing new but it's a great way to spend 2 hours. Especially if you recently watched something heavy, you can use this drama as a cushion to feel light again.

>> The initial 5-10 minutes of build-up was so boring that I wanted to drop it (probably coz I didn't read the synopsis). But all of a sudden the build-up made sense, and I was drawn into the storyline and interaction and chemistry of Han Eun Seong and Kim Rae Wan.

>> The emotions and dialogues of the characters are quite realistic. It's not childish and fluffy but very mature. And yet, the whole show gives off a very fluffy vibe ~

>> The direction is amazing! Some scenes stretch for nearly 5 minutes without any shot-change and they pulled it off skillfully.

>> I don't really understand why Kim Sung Joo and Kwon Do Woon are in the poster because their parts are very less and only there to give a boost to the lead couple.

Side Note: Lee Yoo Young's Frech accent is so accurate and dead-sexy!

What a quick and easy watch. I like what everyone said about it being fast and not draggy. You have two friends that have known each other for forever and they honestly have a ton of chemistry but because their friends, they don't want to jeopardize that which is understandable. Then something does end up happening between them and they go through trials and tribulations. They're both great together, if someone picked this show up, CONTACT THE ACTOR AND ACTRESS ASAP so they can continue this story because it deserves to be longer. Lol. Everything about this is good plus it's a total of like 2 hours tops, it's worth watching.

Good short drama if you don't have anything else to watch

The show has 4 episodes of 30 minutes each, so it's like a 2-hour long movie. The drama is quite good, although there wasn't much going on and the story is nothing out of ordinary.

The good:
- Fluffy and mature with nice characters.
- Unexpected good chemistry between the leads. I've nevem imaged Kim Seon Ho and Lee Yoo Young together, but I was surprised and impressed with the couple.
- It's nothing new to praise Kim Seon Ho acting, but he was great once again. Lee Yoo Young was also great, as I could not image her playing the lead in Tunnel. It was like two different person.
- Raw emotions with cohesive dialogues and discussions. Real adult with real problems.

The bad:
- Supporting characters? Just to help the couple notice each other. It was a cheap way to make the leads relationship change a bit.
- The first 2 episodes were gold, but the last two were a lil' draggy and some overextended scenes. This is probably because of the 4-episode format. Maybe if it was movie the execution would be better?
- I would like to see more of the working life of the leads. But it is understandable.
- Aaahh, that ending. Why do short dramas love time skip? I just don't understand. The leads have the confession time where BOTH said they like each other. But then then FL says that this will break up their friendship and then just cut all contact with the male lead for a year? What? I understand her worry of starting a romantic relationship with the best friend. But give up without even trying and staying away for a whole year? And then she just comes back and that's it. He was waiting for her for a year. Everything comes back to normal and now they are dating. Very unrealistic.

Overall, it's a good drama to watch when you have nothing else to do. Sit and enjoy the ride. Even if you are mad at the end, you at least enjoyed the couple's chemistry.

Perfectly Delightful

I saw the trailer on Youtube, then I saw that it is only 4 episodes .... and I went for it!

What a delightful romance drama, I loved everything about it, the story, the directing, the actors and how this entire drama kept pulling at my heart strings, aching and yearning for the main leads to be together. There is no major drama and the couple's chemistry was so perfect and natural.

I am captivated by him, Kim Seon Ho (Rae Wan) and her, Lee Yoo Young (Eun Seong). After searching and reading their personal profile, I was pleasantly surprised by all their past dramas which had very high rating. They are such talented actors and I am going to catch up with all their dramas and movies.

I highly recommend You Drive Me Crazy if you are into romance and enjoy a really memorable show.

K-Drama Forever! Cheers!

Let me start by saying: I'm usually a sucker for that haters-to-lovers troop. I enjoy the bickering, the slow pace burn of realizing that two enemies no longer feel nor want to be that to one another. You Drive Me Crazy was not a haters-to-lovers story, it was a best-friends-to-lovers one and yet it managed to be more entertaining and enjoyable than what I normally look for or could expect.

Almost everything about You Drive Me Crazy was wonderful: a normal -which isn't bad here- love story of a boy and a girl that aren't fully aware of their feelings from one another and would rather stick to comfort than take a risk, full of fun, silly squabbles and clap-backs, of emotionally filled confessions and little details. I really adored Lee Yoo Young's voice and eyes, and the way she portrayed her character managed to not annoy me, when the usual quirky female lead in romantic dramas might do. Kim Seon Ho was perfect as well (and as expected now from me), his voice and tones, eyes and facial expressions are like no other.

Plotwise, the writers were able to add so many details in such a simple, easy story, I think that's what I treasured the most. An attentive watcher will notice the emotional clues, the meanings behind certain shots and scenes.

Another great aspect about this drama is that it's short, thus the story is able to flow well and not have its message being dragged and lost - and the watcher can binge this supper quickly. You don't always need 16 episodes to have a nice meaning and fine work.

The only minus would be... and I'm sorry to critique but Sung Joo's performance was a tad... awkward, probably due to his character's use in the story and innocent character.

For people who are torn between keeping their friendship with a loved one or taking a risk.

After watching a lot of intense dramas, I was looking for something light and quick to watch, which led me to this. I didn't have any expectations, and I didn't even try to find out more about the plot. The protagonists did an excellent job of portraying what an eight-year friendship looks like and how it could change as a result of an unexpected event. This type of drama may be typical to others, but I'd like to think of it as something relatable. When Eun-sung was explaining why she couldn't compromise their friendship for a romantic relationship, you could feel her frustration. The ending seemed predictable, and I wondered if it should have ended in the least predictable way, with them not ending up with each other.

I don't ever recall seeing such short Korean drama before and I'm happy I took a chance on this drama after seeing short clips of the MCs' interactions. The story plot is simple and can be close to heart for those who have the opposite sex as best/close friends - the one person you always know never to cross the line or not dare to do so in the event you lost the friendship. It's a matter of whether you treasure romance or friendship more and if you are up to taking the dive and find out the outcome of a relationship. It was as if while watching the drama you will also start to hesitate just like them and wonder whether to take the plunge. The pacing of the drama was smoothly done as we go along with the MCs in their discoveries. I really enjoy the performances of both MCs and their on-screen chemistry is just right for the kind of relationship they are having in the drama. The music was just nice and the attraction of perusing French language also quite a sell to this drama. In a way the male character is in the expression of art of love through unique visual representation while the female character is in the expression of art of love through beauty of language. In my opinion the writer-nim weaving these aspects quite perfectly as the background setting. The only reason rewatch value is not high is I am just not a person who really rewatch anything even no matter how much I love it.

Although this drama has only 4 episodes and all of them gave us about 2 hours I like it. The plot is nothing new but if you like this type of kdrama you will definitely adore it. Lee Yoo Young and Kim Sun Ho are perfect main leads. We can feel a lot of emotions during 2 hours and I think that is enough - you don't need to 20 episodes to fall in love with drama . You can see friendship, love and warm of home. Yes, it is simply sweet and funny and it gives you a smile. :) You can just relax and watch it... you don't need to think about it much. The end is predictable and I don't like these kind of "hurry ends" but it is okey here. I couldn't find nothing disturbing - music is beutiful and fits to the drama, scenes are well thought-out. I am sure that I will rewatch it someday. So in my opinion it is worth to see it. :)

I seriously don't think this drama could be any more perfect! It was so beautiful, heartwarming, and cozy. It gave me so many emotions-- from reminding me of the simple joys of being in love to the hurdles you must overcome to achieve that love. I love how it was neither boring nor dragging.

The story is simple and true to life. The actors gave justice to the plot being acting really well. You could feel their comfort and emotions. The OST is so beautiful as well! It's so perfect for the drama, and how it's incorporated into the scenes.

This is definitely a must-watch for those looking for a simple, intimate drama!
