I knew that this would be a good one, but I didn't know I'd like it this much

First Impression
I found this drama from the trailer on a Youtube ad, and immediately mark my calendar for the release date. The trailer shows how weirdly fun the character would be, and loving Kim Jae Wook in Her Private Life, make this on my top Plan to Watch list.

The Characters
Noh Go Jin: From the start, despite how annoying the ML was, I root for him because he was just strangely funny. His cold exterior, rudeness, and strictness kind of represent most bosses IRL, but worse. His perfectionist traits also make it intolerable, but honestly what makes people hate him even more, was the fact that he's successful AKA people are just being jealous. His character wasn't a red flag to me cause who wouldn't guess that by the end of this drama, he would eventually be a better version of himself. The biggest challenge for the writer was how can they "make the change" possible, realistic, and acceptable. And if you have read other reviews or the comment section, you know that the writer succeed in making the best scenario for this.

Lee Shin A: Tbh I was kind of skeptical that I wouldn't like the FL. Don't get me wrong, I like Krystal and her acting was good in her previous projects, but I never really like the characters that she played. So, when I watched this, I didn't expect that I would love her this much. In the beginning, she portrays office workers in what would be a "quarter-life crisis", how her career didn't show progress and stuck with a boss/environment that she hated. She wanted a change, but she was only getting hardships in her life. Most people can relate to this character, the world was not fair. And as unrealistic as it could be, who wouldn't want to do a crazy frantic at least once in their life to fight against this unfairness. But once again, the writer did a great job with this character. Despite all the things that she faced, she was the most realistic mature fictional character that I have ever seen.

I could also write about Oh Se Gi, Baek Soo Young, the Instructors, the Ex-Secretary, and other characters but that would be spoiling too much. Just to be clear, every character has their own failures, flaws, and beliefs, but to keep in mind, they portray people almost realistically, and no matter what their existence holds an irreplaceable value.

The Plot
The beginning was a "shock" to some viewers, because how the scenes were giving mixed feelings. And as most viewers experienced, after 4-6 episodes, you're hooked. It gives out a unique vibe that I never really feel in other dramas. However, after being in this drama world for a long time, we know that most plots flopped in their second half, and that's why I was always anxious watching episodes 10-12 of every drama. Once again, the writer was able to tackle this common failure, and I was just so excited to tell everyone that this plot is the best so far! Even the ending was super good, it was bittersweet knowing we have to bid farewell to this drama, but the only thing that the writer fail to do is to disappoint us HAHAHA

The Life Lesson
1. There are a lot of things that I learned from watching Crazy Love, but what would be the most important lesson is how people would go and hurt others to not get hurt instead. Accepting mishappenings or flaws would hurt us in some way that instead of doing it, we try to blame or hurt others to please our ego. It also happens in real life, that people with trauma tend to hurt others, sometimes unintentionally. This is normal and considered acceptable to a certain limit, as it can be the alternative attempt at self-acceptance and self-love. But when it goes beyond the limit, it might lead to a crime, just like our main villain here. So, it's actually our choice, to keep doing the alternative and not fixing the main issues or be the mature one to accept what we truly are and start developing ourselves.
2. The second one would be how misinterpretation and miscommunication would lead to the biggest conflict in our life. Thankfully, this wasn't a big problem in our ML-FL romance, but it was a big issue for ML and most characters. Of course, it was inevitable for such things to happen in our minds, but instead of jumping to conclusions (just like people who judge this drama based on the first few episodes), it would be best for anyone to try to understand the situations and see the full picture of something from different perspectives before deciding anything (giving a chance or not).
3. Last but not least, it was never a one-person fault but all your actions have consequences. So, before doing or saying or even planning anything, please consider how it will benefit or harm you or the people around you.

There are other things that I would like to point out which are the cast's acting and chemistry, the dark humor, and the OSTs are complementing the plot in such a good way. I've never rated a drama a 10 but this deserves it. Please watch this if you're interested!!!

After reading the summary you might think that this could be a dark theme mystery-drama, but there is not much mystery on this. The movie shows us that as a human, we should treat others as human regardless.

I like the plot, the moral values, the quotes and especially the acting. Every scene is just making me wonder how the characters would act. It is very heart-touching. It didn't make me cry, but it made me smile seeing how the characters interact and sad seeing how bad this life could make people do.

Should definitely watch this if you're bored with romance and comedy films.
