Amor Louco (2022)

Crazy Love (2022) - This is one of the 2022 dramas na gikilig jud ko og bongga. Maybe siguro I missed the over acting comedic love hate romantic drama and I found this one. I am so liking the chemistry sa leads, like aaaaaaaaah, kilig kayo. Well anyway, nahadlok baya ko sa crime thrill part sa first parts of the drama, but through time medyo naa naman hint jud in between so wala na kay ko na shook sa revelations. I also like that they incorporated melo parts especially sa mga sugod – naghilak hilak pud intawon ko, tungod pud sa family aspect of the main leads. The last 2 episodes were quite a letdown for me, maybe because gusto ko naa pay extension but dili pwede since wala nay story, char. Bitaw I like this drama, would recommend it as well. I always look forward to each week because I get to see 2 episodes of this drama.

AHAHAHAHAH questo drama mi ha ucc*sa XD Ho riso come una matta per la maggior parte del tempo e non mi accadeva davvero da molto con un kdrama. Sono rimasta super soddisfatta del prodotto anche perchè non è propriamente così fuori dagli schemi se ci pensiamo bene.. Sei una dipendete sottopagata, sfruttata, schiavizzata e un giorno scopri che ti rimane un anno da vivere. Potresti mollare il lavoro e vivere quel poco che ancora hai ma non ti rimarrebbe una peso sullo stomaco? Quand'ecco che ti si presenta l'occasione di una vita: vendicarti e farla pagare a quel capo che ti ha sempre maltrattata. Siate sinceri, chi non sarebbe tentato dalla cosa? Ovviamente non sto consigliando azioni particolari o violenze ad alcuno, mi raccomando! Però è stato interessante il processo e quello che poi ne è venuto. Non mi ispirava per nulla e invece mi ha sorpresa, ottimo!

Promising plot but disappointing outcome

I’m pretty excited to start watching because Kim Jae Uck is a great actor and the plot seem unique and promising enough. However, it’s not as good as I thought it will be. First 3 episodes are fun and match my expectation but the rest are meh. I usually enjoyed watching nonsensical drama (ex: strong woman dong bong soon) but Crazy Love episodes feel so long to finish with sudden new and unnecessary characters along the way.

Most of the time , I cringed watching him having amnesia and trying to be cute while being with Krystal. Their chemistry is decent but still looking forced and not natural enough. There’s so much potential but i guess it’s the script, and not the cast fault.

This could've been a fun ride, instead it was a disappointing one

I started watching CL with pretty high hopes, but oh well...

I just couldn't bring myself to like the first ML. In the first episode he was introduced as this 'unlikable' character. I was aware of that and it still left me with a terrible perception of him. Any change to his behaviour that was introduced seemed to me as forced and fake. I really appreciate screen characters that are annoying and rude, but also charismatic. Unfortunately, Noh Go Jin was just unlikable.

Secondly, the love story between the main couple. Their feelings changed so suddenly. One day they hated each other and the other they were like 'Oh no, why is my heart fluttering?' You guessed it, I also don't know why. The chemistry wasn't there.

Finally, the toxic behaviour of the main ML to the FL. I dropped the drama when he blocked her from applying for the instructor's job and justified it with 'I'm afraid you're gonna leave me when you achieve your dream.' This isn't romantic, this is a red flag. I wouldn't mind it if he just insisted that she isn't suitable for the job.

I have nothing against cliché scenes, but there were a few that were just unhealthy.

Some things I enjoyed:
+ FL's dad - he was very warm, although I don't understand, why he liked NGJ so much from the first sight
+ pretended amnesia (just the fact that it wasn't real, at the end it got kind of boring)
+ the detective
+ main couple's chemistry when they were fighting
+ that the GoTop's 'spy' employee (I'm sorry, I don't remember her title) actually had a motive to work for the rival company
+ the hit on the head with an onion
+ badly edited couple photos

Not for me…

I love cliche dramas. I think it is wonderful to see so many original productions and genres coming out of South Korea and I do love watching them but give me an old school style kdrama any day of the week and I’ll be happy. HOwEVeR when I say that I like old school style kdramas, I mean that I like to see a different take on them or a different dynamic that what’s been seen before.

I think this is where one of my problems runs with Crazy Love. It possessed the potential to be different and present that unusual dynamic with the female lead’s motives and the male lead’s dilemma but it was never quite willing to push the boundaries into something more lively or worthwhile.

This is a lot for me to say as I do love Kim Jae Wook. I first remember seeing him in My Private Life and liked how he was able to capture a certain charm to his onscreen role as the male lead. Additionally while honestly some of Krystal’s projects can be very hit or miss , I remember being impressed by her acting skills in Search.

Here Jae Wook and Krystal’s chemistry is very choppy. At times there is a lot of heart put into lines and exchanges but for what felt like most of the series, their onscreen romance felt a bit underwhelming.

My big problem with Crazy Love was that it wasn’t entirely sure with what it was trying to present. There were times where tackling dark subject areas could feel interesting but the series also heavily relied on a lot of childish setups and misunderstandings. ( The most annoying being the attempts to sabotage the FL. Perhaps funny in the first few episodes, but gradually grew more frustrating.)

I don’t think this is entirely bad per say as I love comedy but it did often feel as though Crazy Love was a bit displaced with its identity with its tone as well as with all of its cliches.

I think that Crazy Love isn’t entirely disastrous but it was certainly a waste of time for me.

It was Okay I guess.

I was super excited for Kim Jae-Wook's return to the screen after almost a 3 year break after My Private life and the story seemed okay only. Cliché but honestly I don't really mind clichés if done properly. Wasn't particularly excited or not excited about Krystal cause I haven't really finished any of the dramas that she has been in, so her being in the drama didn't really contribute to my decision to watch it. What did contribute to my decision was Kim Jae Wook (of course ) and his statement at an interview where he said that he chose to star in this drama cause it was super fun and entertaining and he wanted to offer some relief to people who had been going through a hard time in the past years [pandemic sighh]. Anyway, the initial episodes were of course a bit cliché as people have already pointed out with a terrible boss, a suffering secretary, an old love which has recently resurfaced etc. The amnesia and Krystal pretending to be her boss's fake fiance took me by surprise and then I went fishing for some information in discussions threads and spoiled myself. You know I liked the drama [which is evident from the fact that I completed it] but I have to be honest, i had higher expectations. Here are some things that I really didn't like.
1. I couldn't really get into the romance as much as I would have liked, there was no true connection, he started liking her because she took care of him [which is super basic], they were no star-crossed lovers and I personally don't understand why she fell in love with him [he has a pleasing face I'll give you that]. but after a person's been so terrible t you it would take some miracle for you to fall in love with that person and I personally think that there was no such miracle.
2. Mr. Noh Go-Jin your entire company is being ruined right in front of your eyes and here you are busy romancing your new girlfriend. He had literally no strategy on how to save his company, it just seems that everything happened by fluke and he was super lucky. I mean you have an IQ of 190 PLEASE USE IT. Also his main strategy of pretending about something [basically a spoiler] and was made out to be such a central point in the plot did not really add anything significant in the story in the end [except for bringing the leads together], i mena he would have been just fine without it.
3. In the end episodes i think that Krystal became merely an accessory without any significant presence. I mean her role was limited to her dates with Noh Go Jin which I really don't mind, but there was a literal revenge plot in there in which she had no part to play. She's just say a few basic well-meaning words and hug him a couple of times and that was it. I really wish the female lead had a more dominating presence in the plot of the drama and not just romantic interest for Noh Goh JIn [ I mean I know its a romance drama and all but her role somehow didn't hold a lot of significance]
4. The side characters were so basic and 2 dimensional, I mean I think that did not have any presence of their own and did not have any significance if the leads are taken out of the equation. this is to say that they didn't really have any existence outside of the leads story. even the so-called villains trying to plot revenge against Noh Goh Jin turned out to be almost pathetic and unoriginal in the end. Honestly, I personally don't like villains and prefer stories where there aren't any, but if there are I like them to be well written characters and not what was here.
5. we don't get to see much of the lead's professions. One reason why I love watching dramas and innovative one's at that is because I get to watch people be good that their jobs in so many different fields, but here we barely got to see Noh Goh Jin or in fact any other character hold a class for even 2 minutes, even though it is literally their profession.

What I did like was that the comedic timing of the drama and the characters was perfect, there were some scenes that I absolutely loved and as a result rewatched them many times. In those I would include the scenes of physical fights between the leads [yes physical].
overall it was a good drama worth a watch. Not really going to rewatch it. the story was innovative and honestly could have been executed in a better way but overall it was Okay. Not a classic but not super bad also.

Lasciato

Prometteva molto bene e la presa in ciroi d3i classici topoi da drama mi é piaciuta molto.Peccato che li abbiano poi usati come tornassimo indietro nel 2015. Il primo bacio alla puntata 9 era completamente inaspettato perché la storia era ancora bloccata con un ml sadico tiraneggiante e una fl in ostaggio e remissiva. Che una situazione del genere generi i primi pensieri d'amore per entrambi, ma per lei soprattutto, é raccapricciante, ho pensato alla sindrome di stoccolma...speravo davvero che tutti i drama attuali avessero superato questi rapporti patologici che trovo odiosi. Mollato senza neanche vedermi il finale.

when crazy turns messy

too many things going on in one drama : Lee Si Na's revenge, Lee Si Na’s brain tumor, Noh Go Jin's former secretaries' revenge, murder attempt on Noh Go Jin, Noh Go Jin's memory loss, Lee Si Na & Noh Go Jin's fake engagement, the reappearance of Noh Go Jin's first love, the agenda of Noh Go Jin's rival, and the list goes on...

it was hard to focus on the main plot, which was… revenge-to-love? i’m not even sure lol

truthfully, i had high expectations because i love both Kim Jae Wook and Krystal. i enjoyed their previous works and the acting in this drama was good, i guess. however, i didn’t feel their chemistry. they looked more like brother and sister.

Meh

Vou mencionar os pontos positivos para mim neste drama, temos uma boa história até certo ponto, um romance rasoável, atuações aceitaveis e só.

A história parou de ficar engraçada e fofinha do meio para o fim, como achei decepcionante o final deste drama , é ridiculo como romantizaram as atitudes ruins e doentiadas .

Quase todo elenco praticou serias contraverções contra o protagonista masculino e no final tudo foi perdoado, ele simplesmente achou que devia ser punido pois tinha um mau temperamento, como assim gente ele apenas perdoou e contratou novamente todos que quase levaram sua empresaza a falência, é uma palhaçada não é coerente e romantizar isso é errado e muito insano para mim.

Definitivamente não irei rever este drama com certeza tambem não irei indicar, e algo mediano com uma mensagem distorcida dos fatos e eu relamente só quero seguir em frente, espero que tenha dramas melhores na minha lista daqui para frente.

Una simpática serie pero nada más.

Crazy Love, protagonizada por Kim Jae Wook y Krystal Juhn ha sido un descubrimiento interesante pero nada más. La histórica es la típica de cualquier serie romántica coreana que tienen como protagonista a un rico empresario, Noh Go Jin, y una simple trabajadora, Lee Shin A, que vive bajo el terror de su dominante y maleducado jefe.

Puede cambiar a qué se dedica la empresa, es decir, puede ser una empresa farmacéutica, ser un hospital, un conglomerado... lo que te vive en la mente, pero siempre tendrá un presidente muy pagado de si mismo, que no solo es guapo, millonario e inteligente, sino que tiene una personalidad arrolladora que algunos adoran y otros temen. Y siempre habrá una dulce empleada que consigue en amor del presidente siendo ella misma, con su dulzura y sus buenas maneras. Este es el guión típico.

Cuando salió el póster de esta serie parecía que se iba a romper esta tendencia. Teníamos, o eso parecía, una protagonista, Lee Shin A que tenía mal humor, y que podía llegar a ser todo un personaje si llevaba su carácter violento hacía sus últimas y graciosas consecuencias. Pero no ha sido así. Salvo un par de escenas en las que Lee Shin A se muestra agresiva, su carácter es el típico de la comedia romántica. Nada interesante o emocionante en ella.

Con respecto al protagonista es todo un personaje, un auténtico abusón y no le importa serlo. Ahí reside parte de su encanto. Evidentemente a medida que avanzan los capítulos su forma de ser se va suavizando, es lo que tiene el amor. Y es una pena porque en cierta manera sus maneras groseras hacen de él un personaje diferente.

Si juntamos los dos, su amor va de trabajar juntos durante un año a una serie de acontecimientos que cambian la relación. Hay un accidente, una pérdida de memoria, una enfermedad, amigos, antiguos amores, competidores...

He de confesar que me ha gustado el trabajo de Kim Jae Wook -no lo conocía de antes-, y me estoy adaptando a la manera interpretativa de Krystal Jung. No me puedo quejar de las actuaciones aunque algunas de ellas me parecen demasiado forzadas, como la del hermano de Lee, la de su compañera de piso, o la del competidor del Noh Go Kin. Por suerte otros actores son más serenos como Ha Joo o Yoo In Young, así que todo se equilibra un poco.

Pero no puedo negar que esta serie se va desinflando a medida que van pasado los capítulos. La idea original se queda en nada muy pronto. La parte de suspense no se sostiene muy bien porque no está bien desarrollada, y romántica, es demasiado típica.

Creo que en general no es una mala serie, pero, ¿la vería otra vez? No, salvo algún que otra escena graciosa.
