Crazy Love is somewhat entertaining drama - you get comedy, (fun) plot twists, backstabs, fake fiancé, terminal illness and of course R E V E N G E. At first it's a chaotic, crazy, enjoyable, silly ride (but despite all the ingredients being present, not a makjang) but it just falls off the funky rails soon and for the remaining drama you have dull bus ride through corrupted behind-the-scenes of academy business.

Any way i look at this, this drama just doesnt deliver – i had no expectations but i was still disappointed (okay i might have had some expectations since the top reviews seem to be waxing endless poetics on this drama...). The worst of it were the characters. It's like they had no stable personality whatsoever. I dont even know how to describe it - it's like most of the characters did things for a sake of doing it (and something happening in the drama) not because it made sense for their personality. No Go Jin was an awful dude who has been wronged 12 years ago BUT he still invests so much energy into destroying confidence of every secretary and person he meets. It was impossible for me to root for him even after he seemingly became a better person. Honestly – until now i dont know why he was such a jerk – did i accidentally skip a scene or something? Idk. It kinda made sense to me that literally every fucking person around him wanted to get rid of him.

Lee Si Na had good moments of enjoyable lead but once her storyline was resolved, she was forgotten by the writers and she became a cheerleader for the No Go Awful. The returning ex-girlfriend was suddenly randomly bitter and intensively charming it didnt made sense to me. Characters changed out of nowhere and their relationships between each other barely made sense. The final nail in the cofin was the shift to exposing the corruption and mysteries at the Gotop academy but done in such a superficial way it was just boring. And lets not even mention random-ass fairytale ending. You will have to watch that stupid thing yourself.

Editing was extra annoying in this drama. I would be more understanding if the second half of the drama was badly edited but how can first few episodes be so choppy? And dont get me started on the very first scene of the first drama. I kept thinking for solid 13 episodes that the first scene of the drama was some fastforward in the story and we are still supposed to get to that scene *somehow*. Anyways...

This drama was at some points so unhinged and ridiculous, which made me stay and be interested to see how the writers decide to resolve the plot but it became absolute snoozefest. The comedy was addmitedly enjoyable but i didnt particularly enjoy (or see) chemistry between Krystal and Kim Jae Wook, however, their acting was decent (although idk why but KJW seemed so very tired to me in this drama).
Either way... I’ve seen better dramas. But i’ve also seen worse dramas. It is what it is. I dont think this drama will become one of the new classics. 6/10
