I didn't know what to expect from this show, I thought it might just be silly and there might not be much to it.
But I was so pleasantly surprised. It is absolutely wonderful, you will laugh, you will cry, you will sympathise with the characters. It is a lovely cast. They cover so many topics that other dramas would shy away from in this show. It is definitely worth the watch, I would highly recommend.!!!!!

First of all, need to say that unlike the other Korean dramas, the episodes are short (just 30 mins) and there are only 13 episodes! Makes it even more fun to binge watch.
Secondly, the drama is hilarious but with a great underlining message. This drama talks mainly about trauma, human behaviour when they are with trauma and how others see them, how easily manipulated Koreans are with just mere gossip (without fact checking), and how everyone right away judge people as "bad" just because they heard a rumour, and how their lives are affected by "scandals". And on top of this, there's a nice mystery to solve as well.
Got to say, 'Mad for Each Other' covers a lot of aspects. And it feels very real. The acting and chemistry among the leads and the support cast is excellent. You will feel frustrated when they are sad, you will feel joy when they are happy, and when they cry, you will cry with them!
A must watch!

A very refreshing drama. The story is simple and the characters extremely funny. In the first episode I've almost peed myself laughing. The romance development is natural, classic enemies to lovers. In conclusion: It's really good.

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.

This is one of my fav Kdrama for this year. Hilariously funny with some deep & meaningful lines. They brought mental health as theme and executed it very well & easy to watch/understand. I'm sure many people will feel really related with this story. Super recommended!!!!
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.

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 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!

This series offers a sometimes uneven blend of comedy, romance and suspense. Fortunately it revolves around two likeable characters striving to overcome their personal challenges and their battle gives enough for us to hang in there with them. As their relationship moves beyond antipathy towards understanding they offer an ever better reason to enjoy their story.
With anger management issues on one side and anxiety issues on the other this is an emotional journey. The two lead actors give it everything they've got.
I did not always believe the actions and reactions of the characters, but this was sufficiently entertaining to warrant sticking with it nevertheless.

This is so engrossing and fun to watch. I can't believe I did not recognize the female lead , Oh Yeon-seo, from Korean Odessey, also on Netflix.

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.

Straightforward and on-point scenes I like how they compress the details to shorten the movie.

Korean Drama " Mad For Each Other " is a short drama that manages to pack in not only romance and comedy, but also deeper issues that were all well explored.
The story starts on a comical note, as the viewer gets to know who's who, and the two main characters get into one misunderstanding after the other. In that beginning, the male lead is more likable and gets the biggest part of sympathy, as the female lead acts, well, crazy. But, as the story gets revealed, slowly but steadily, everyone's actions are justified and the story turns more dramatic, enhancing into issues like dating violence, family dynamics and relationships, even gender identity. And even though the drama is short in length, everything is blended nicely and even the romance gets a smooth pacing.
As for the performances, everyone did a great job with their characters and even the side characters were enjoyable.
So, overall, eight out of ten, because the ending was a bit cliche.

A refreshing poignant drama with amazing laughs sprinkled heavily throughout! I absolutely loved the actors' portrayals of the main characters and the take on their respective traumas and mental health. Though they get very little screen time, this drama does not waste any supporting or minor characters whose own mental health and vices are interwoven into the story and used expertly to push the lead characters through their growth. This drama's take on societal views of what makes a person "crazy" and the double standard that's created when not admitting our own shortcomings and looking down on others for having "larger/more extreme" vices was refreshing and thought provoking. The largest shortcomings are the escalated climax that leaves the viewer feeling rushed and the main antagonist in each main characters life not reaching their fullest potential, and it just ends way to soon - left me wishing the last 2 episodes would have been stretched into atleast 4 episodes, if not more.

He's a cop with anger management issues😤. She's a fearful, paranoid mess🌼.
They run into eachother on the street. She feels threatened and pepper sprays him, so you could say they didn't hit it off. Next they see eachother at the therapist's office. Apparently they've been complaining to the same therapist about each other. And next they see that they live next to eachother. WHOOPS!
From that point on, it's the mayhem one could anticipate from two unhinged (but good, underneath it all) persons who each try to bend the other to their will, and in doing so, give no space for peace. They drive each other truly crazy.
Before the end, they'll get the gangsters and drug dealers involved, and another neighbor will help Nah Hwi-oh dress up as a woman so he can go undercover while on suspension. That's just begging the cops to join the party, and they jump in for a round, along with a convenience store clerk, a deliveryman, parents, the condo association, and the neighborhood watch. High drama it ain't. It's meant to be fun and to make us smile. It is. It does.
They include a Kdrama trope in the last couple scenes that usually is awful, and it is the same here: MSS, or mandatory separation syndrome. MSS involves couples, who once they get together, must separate. 'I love you! Finally, we're together! Now I'll catch you later...' Huh?
Sometimes, it's a good thing - a generous 15% of the time. On top of that, most of these people are pushing 40. They aren't getting any younger. All flights appear to be grounded as well, because, even if the separation is 4 years, they never seem to visit eachother in that time period. In MFE it is brief, we can let it go with a warning.
MFE is 13 half-hour episodes, which is less than half the usual length of other Kdramas. So get the 🍿, sit back, watch, and grin.

Everything is good about this drama. How characters are written, the plot and story, the way they have shown social issues, styling... etc. Every good thing are gathered together to make this drama a beautiful short comedy series wich is the best I've ever seen in its own style and genre. Don't miss it. ✊
I laughed a lot about this serie right from the start. Well thought out and with a serious story. That a broken heart can do crazy things to you. Or difference between owning and loving someone. Always enjoy these series. There are always meanings behind which you recognize or understand things. At first I thought it was going to be an over the top serie, but I really liked it.
Usual boy meets girl story has some added grit and actual physical contact between the adult leads. Actor Woo Jung is by far the more expressive of the cast portraying a wide range of emotions. A trendy, modern side story adds some filler.
A suspended police officer has a new neighbour in a block of flats who has a painful past. Both share a psychiatrist who is treating them but can these two damaged people help to heal each other ? Great acting, and a believable romance between the leads with comedic moments make this worth a watch. Well written and directed and you realise we are all damaged and just need someone to understand.

Netflix got this one right. 30 minute episodes and only 13 total. The story was told from start to finish. The introduction was detailed and also funny. The main part of the story was funny and then got serious but it was done seamlessly. The ending was complete and conclusive. This is what all netflix series should be like. The only reason I gave it a 9 is because a small part of one episode wasn't believable. Other than the this was a pretty good series. Netflix needs to do this with everything they participate in . You don't need 2 seasons or an abundance of episodes to tell the story from start to finish. This is the perfect example of that.
