Mad for Each Other

This is a show about how community, love, trust are what saves people when hitting rock bottom. It's very real depiction of trauma is hunting, but the show also has room for slapstick, fun and joy en masse.

The actors seem to enjoy themselves playing. Short, well-written episodes. Uncommonly for a Korean show, it develops fast, is very raw and real, work life plays a role, but it's not as much center stage as it tends to be.

Strongly recommended!

Much like my peers before, this is definitely a feel good drama. But most importantly the male lead, Jung Woo knows how to use his facial expressions and acting skills and isn't just yet another pretty mannequin boy (much like all 20 year old kdrama actors that can't be bothered with acting, it creates crevices around their pretty faces). It was absolutely refreshing to see great acting and a simple yet deeply touching script and cast. Highly recommend watching it.

This is a very well written drama, with no clichés or silly dragging misunderstandings. Everything happens with a very quick pace and you will never get bored.

Its a drama about all the emotions we go through when dealing with the events happening in our lives. Tackles mental health and social problems like abuse and discrimination but how important is to just acknowledge those issues, work on them so we accept them and get back on your feet so you can go on living.

The main leads have an undeniable chemistry and the performances of the cast are just outstanding. The friendships the secondary leads have and the loyalty towards each other is just so pure.

Its a story that will lead you through a rollercoaster of emotions, you will get angry, and sad and frustrated, but then you will laugh, feel their love and root for their happiness.

I 100% recommend this show, it's short but sweet and its well worth your time.

Mad for Each Other on Netflix has some pretty good writers who could bring humor to mental health issues and had me laughing hysterically and got me hooked in the first 2 episodes. You just have to lighten up and laugh. It's ok not to be ok and also it is ok to laugh. Also, the neighborhood is, believe it or not, realistic - I know of one in the Chicago burbs where it could have been a documentary - between the crazies, the comfort dogs, the nosy condo associations, the drug dealers in the neighborhood, trash bins police, the scary parking lots and more - Good job on the series.

The series starts out like many other romantic comedies, but soon turns into a quite sophisticated exploration of the consequences of trauma, and how we struggle to recover from it within ourselves while still trying to develop and maintain relationships with others.

Jung Woo has matured nicely since his role in Reply 1994, and Oh Yeon So is affectingly realistic as a woman traumatised by her experiences.

Definitely worth your time, and while you will get some laughs, you will also have some gut punch moments.

EDIT: Unfortunately it seems to have fallen foul of the TV viewer percentages, and the final episode (13) was the last four crammed into one! Sad.
