Noiva Por Vingança

My wife and I bailed on this after 4 episodes. We just found the fact that the ML was a total jerk, and the FL was, perhaps for good reason, trying to torture out male lead. It just went on so long and got really tedious.

Since I actually bought Blue Rays (it didn't appear on streaming until after I bought the discs ha ha), we thought we'd give it another chance to try to get our money's worth.

The bottom line, is that it gets better in the second half, and lands a bit more in the romcom category. The is still some trauma coming from a side character, but it is not too bad.

The acting was generally good. We love Krystal Jung. She did a great job. Kim Jae-Wook was also good, although I can't put my finger on why I wasn't happier with this portrayal of the mail lead. We really like him a lot in Her Private Life.

So overall, an 8 for us. If the mutual harassment between the leads had not gone on so long, it would have been a 9.

I don't usually leave comments but I think this drama deserves one. It's sad to know that it's underrated in Korea, and that's probably because it's not streamed on Netflix. I love the flow of the story, it's not like the other drama with expected scenario..I love how it shows us that no matter how cold-hearted a person is, we should know judge them by the surface, they might've gone through tough times and endured the pain until they become numb. It also tells us that it's never to late to change/improve ourselves. This is very realistic in the sense that it tells us about hate & forgiveness. You must watch this if you like comedy & slice of life combined. It's 10/10 for me.

Enemies to Lovers fans rejoice! This drama is very well done and has a believable journey for our leads to go from enemies to very cute lovers. Acting was good across the board, and the soundtrack was fun if not necessarily memorable. The plot was dramatic but not too dramatic (within kdrama standards of course) and kept me interested throughout the entire show. I really loved the underlying message that one good person can make a big difference. Overall this was a cute one time watch that I enjoyed a lot.

Korean Drama " Crazy Love " is a drama that has a predictable story and it almost feels like the old Korean rom coms of the past decade. The trop of the main lead dying, the crazy and rich CEO, the enemies to lovers plot twist, and the ex girlfriend storyline were all well known and used ingredients for many dramas. And yet, the drama had something fresh and comforting.

The first part of the drama is funny and the dynamics of the couple spot on. And yes, it is predictable, but their chemistry is overflowing. The performances were another factor that aided the drama a lot.

Unfortunately, the second part was slower and a bit boring, but the ending wrapped things up nicely.

So, overall, 6 out of 10.

The K-Drama genre that made me crazy about K-Drama when I was growing up (after not watching K-Drama for a long time) was office romance, namely "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim". Unfortunately, the series has one drawback. Likewise, the recent office romance "Business Proposal" has an unimpressive ending. "Crazy Love" which I initially took for granted, turned out to have a very interesting story with elements of comedy, politics, and romance mixed very well. None of the characters seem wasted. No matter how little they appear, all of them have an important role in supporting the characterization of the main character. The weakness that I found in "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" is the disclosure of excessive plot twists in one episode also occurs here but "Crazy Love" handles it very well which makes me not bothered by it. And the ending is very good in resolving all the conflicts that occur throughout the story.
