thank you for this review! looks like i will add another one to my list of watching! it sounds good weird

(Haven't watched the 2nd episode yet.) Thanks for the recap missvictrix! You and I are on the same wavelength, heh.

Crazy Love's tone is definitely different from the other quirky show I'm watching (Business Proposal).

I agree that CL didn't give off a warm feeling yet. I did soften a little when Go Jin was with his brother and he dropped his cold, mean attitude. I was horrified at all of the disturbing hate mail he accumulated and stored. Wonder if his coldness is a way to protect himself and keep others at a distance. His company looks cutthroat and I'm sure other instructors or companies would love to bring him down.

Go Jin is awful, but it helps that he was an underdog before he got to where he is now (and okay, yes it's Kim Jae Wook! He does evil and arrogance so well!). I'm curious what other obstacles he had faced before now. He wasn't the only awful character too. Some of the snobby instructors, ugh. Poor Shin Ah. I don't know how she lasted so long.

Delighted to see Im Won Hee. I've seen him be so extra, hope he has fun playing Park Yang Tae.

Thank you for the review. Hope it keeps coming!

I enjoyed the first EP. I agree crazy love is weird and I think that's exactly how they want it to be delivered, the intentionally over the top acting (aka prickly Noh Go Jin) making the viewers distaste him as a build up to what's to come for him in the future episodes 😆 and the same for Lee Shin Ah. My guess is we are going to see a transformation in their characters.

It's like they are doing a parody of cliches and tropes lol..it's just so much fun and they deliver these tropes not in a typical kdrama way. EP 1 is fun although some parts are abit slow and draggy but I do believe it's to set up the stage.

Love Kim Jae Wook, he really gets into his roles and nails them. But so hard to hate his character. There are soft moments to him too and him acting like a child over his birthday.

The scene with Im Won Hee was hilarious. Some of the dark humour may not be for everyone but I was laughing so hard over them. You really don't have to think much while watching this drama.

I watched ep 2 already and it gets even better. Hope to see your review on it soon 🙂

Thank you for the review. Please continue to have weecaps or recaps for the show. I would to watch the show and also like to talk about it with other beanies in the weecap comment sections 😊

Thank you for your insightful review! I totally agree that Kim Jae-uck is by far the best part of this drama (as is often the case).

I liked the first ep but I loved the second. I had my doubts when Crazy Love was first announced but I now think Kim Jae-uck made a great choice.

The show’s quirky and entertaining and dark and intriguing. KJU’s perfect as Noh Go-jin and he’s clearly having a blast bringing him and all his idiosyncrasies to life. KJU’s a lifelong athlete who even took modern dance classes to gain a better understanding of body mechanics so it’ll be a treat getting to see him show off his physical comedy chops.

I’m glad they’ve started to flesh out NGJ so early in the show to temper his OTT arrogance and meanness. His opening up about his money fixation and the poverty he and his family had experienced makes him a tiny bit more sympathetic.

And his friendship with Se-gi goes a long way toward humanizing him. I loved the entire birthday sequence—how he got so upset over Se-gi forgetting and his tiny smiles and scoffs when he realized they’d remembered.

I also like the direction of the show and was especially impressed with the long uncut take that transitioned seamlessly from Lee Shin-ah to the three ex-secretaries back to Lee Shin-ah.

Can’t wait to see what happens next week. Looking forward to your review of Ep 2!🤞🏼

Thanks for the recap! I liked the second episode more than the first. I won't say much in case recaps continue but the scenes at the house were hilariously wacky.

Kim Jae-wook as usual was great. Whether he was pouting over wanting a birthday party or casually putting away a mouse carcass, it was all seamless. I thought Krystal was good too until the terminal diagnosis when she couldn't quite keep up with the emotional heavy lifting required.

Looking forward to next week.

I didn't really like both episodes. There were a lot of usual tropes and not enough to like. The characters weren't really likable.

I will try the 3rd because it could become more fun with the FL acting as the fake girlfriend.

Beanie Feedback: Pretty pls ( finger hearts) if u can review on epi 2 even if u don't pick up the series. It gives a complete picture of this drama and where we're headed. Plus it's so freaking fun ! Dying to discuss it

Kim Jae wook is finally back on the small screen wooh!!!! That too a rom-com 🥳

I honestly didn’t think he’d do a 360 and play a complete asshole character from the sweet and considerate Ryan but I must admit he plays mean and arrogant very well.

I loved the first episode, it was as quirky and crazy as I expected it to be and the directing and music was spot on. Also I couldn’t stop laughing at that scene when the teddy bear fell off the rooftop and Noh Go Jin was like “my condolences.” Was that intentional? because that was just downright mean but also hilarious.

I really like this show. It’s as cracktastic as I hoped it would be so if they just keep this momentum I’ll be very very happy 😊

Se gi is Go jin's brother, not his friend.

And I don't truly trust Se gi. He is too nice to have lasted this long.

His need to re hire the instructor Go Jin just fired and had excorted out by security tells me as much.

And in what world is Krystal mousy? Even without a face caked on with makeup, that woman is absolutely stunning.

"He doesn’t seem “bad” per se, but even if he is, that wicked grin on his face is hard to resist."

*paired with a screenshot of him staring coldly into the void*

Comedy gold 😂

I enjoyed the first episode enough that I will watch the second, but I’m not 100% sold yet. I did really enjoy the “he forgot my birthday/I am too cool to care about birthdays!” scenes 😂

I wasn't planning to watch this even tho I like Krystal, but with this first impression, I think I'll try. I just have to catch up with all the past dramas I didn't watch and then suddenly learned that they were good.
