Both are satirical works of the romcom genre and subverts a lot of cliche tropes. Main couples REALLY do hate each other at first before gradually falling in love. There's also a mystery of who attempted to kill the ML in both plots. Both use dark humor and exaggerated acting to make fun of the genre.

If you're looking for pure romance, these dramas are not for you. They're not Nevertheless or Love Alarm with their melodramatic romances. But if you are patient and have a realistic expectation of romantic relationships, then they both deliver. Couples all have great chemistry. Even if you're a fan of pure romances, you will be throughout entertained by both dramas; I was laughing at everything.

Both are also underrated compared to some of the more overhyped shows on this website and are victims of people don't understand what satire is. Crazy Love had the amnesia/fake fiance trope in its summary and people just assumed it would be cheesy like that instead of giving it a chance while I Picked Up a Star on the Road was similarly a victim of assumption and people who canceled it for its kidnapping plot. If you actually give them a try, they will surprise you, in a good way.
