Crazy & Worth the Watch!
This series is fun and filled with life lessons. The twists towards the end you don't see coming. The love interest's journey to get together didn't feel forced or unbelievable. ML (Kim Jae Wook) hits every beat of the dynamic challenges of his character and how the edge of his character begins to soften throughout. The FL (Krystal Jung) held her own in giving us range of emotion in both verbal and non-verbal communication. The second couple was cute. I am glad that writers made the decision to focus more on the journey of the main characters instead of forcing a full second couple storyline. OST was nice and not overbearing. Production was well done. However, certain scenes started to feel redundant with the SFL. The weaving of how so many people can become the culprit for different reasons was well played. How this series dealt with trauma and loss hit home and rang true to how one can have closed off and reactionary displays of emotion. This is definitely worth the watch!NOTE: So many people are missing out on this jewel because it is hard to find and is not loaded on many platforms. Even on YouTube it only shows clips and not episodes. But once you are able to find and watch this drama, it will become one of your favorites.

A very good beginning and then...an average drama
First, I really LOVED the first part more than anything, up to episode 7 if I'm not mistaken. It was very, very funny, FL doing everything to piss ML off and him not being able to do anything about it because he would be lying, if it followed that story to the end, it would be a solid 8/8.5 for me.My problem with this drama was from the middle to the end, I didn't understand why this one started to focus more on mystery and corruption than the original story and for me, it became very boring. I wanted to see the dynamic of the two between I'm going to do everything I can since I'm going to die and him have to put up with it. Also, why did they end the cancer plot early? It was something that once again, made the story more interesting.
Another thing that I just rolled my eyes at and made me lower my grade quite a bit was that ML just ALLOWED or REHIRED all the villains again,. when they just wanted to hurt him,.... like, without any sense at all.
And let's not even talk about the drastic personality change he had, first he was a methodical boss and out of nowhere he started forgiving everyone? To me, it was not well written.
Anyway, I started the drama with hype and ended up finding it to be a disappointment.

Not bad not great
My main takeaway from this is that the transition from enemies to lovers between the leads wasn’t believable. They were also lacking in the chemistry department, imo. Something super grating was how timid/meek the FL would act sometimes. She lost all her pre revenge confidence at some point and became almost like a prop for the ML’s character development. The second half of the drama is full of mystery plots that weren’t that intriguing. The motivations behind the ppl driving the mystery plots were weak. There were no real consequences for their actions either. Someone being a major asshole doesn’t justify stalking, death threats, actual murder attempts, and destroying their livelihoods. I started skipping scenes after episode 10.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Very underrated
Easily one of the best rom-com dramas ! Since I watched it when it was still airing I found it very light and entertaining. In my opinion although I shouldn't compare but this is better than "Her private life" but that one was better promoted. This one is so funny and less boring than "Her private life" and the story is simple yet so funny and entertaining,I feel it's sad that it didn't get more attention! I loved the enemy to lovers trope and I was worried about the chemistry because of the main leads' age gap but they were phenomenal together !!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Surprenant
Je ne m'attendais pas a aimé réellement cette série car je n'étais tout d'abord pas conquise par l'actrice que j'avais vu joué dans d'autres séries qui ne m'ont vraiment pas plu (ou son personnage qui m'agaçait! ) et j'avais peur que cette série répète le même scénario mais je me trompais !J'adore les dramas qui parlent de romance "au bureau" et qui ne me casse pas la tête avec des scénarios trop poussés et autres. J'ai beaucoup aimé l'idée de base de l'histoire et au final, j'ai fini la série en seulement deux jours.
Kim Jae Wook est toujours un très bon acteur qui, je trouve, choisis bien ses séries : l'ayant découvert dans le drama Voice (qui d'ailleurs est également une superbe série), il ne m'a pas déçue !
J'enlèverais quelques points dans ma note finale pour certains côtés de la série que j'aurais voulu voir mis plus en avant à l'écran mais Crazy Love reste une série que je reverrais sûrement, ou du moins quelques moments !

"Crazy Love" is bat-shit crazy and I love it! I rolled on the floor laughing at Kim Jae Wook and Krystal Jung trying to tear each other's hair out in this enemies-to-lovers romance. Fed up with how her narcissistic boss treats other employees (including her), Lee Shin A hatches a revenge plan after learning that she does not have much time to live. Her plans changed when No Go Jin ends up losing his memory on the same night she visited his house. Thinking this as her perfect opportunity, Lee Shin A pretends to be her boss' fake fiancée so she can execute her vengeance. I really liked Kim Jae Wook as the anti-hero: the overbearing and self-indulgent CEO who made a lot of people's lives a living hell, judging from the numerous death treats he received. He is seemingly unconcerned that everyone has their beef with him that even the police couldn't flush out the culprit behind his attack that landed him in the hospital. Krystal Jung is doubly sweet and at the same time devilish as the secretary-turned-psycho, or at least trying to be one, but really did not have the heart to actually hurt her boss other than throwing onions at him or punching holes in his clothes.
Other secondary characters like Park Yang Tae, No Go JIn's competitor and Gong Pil Sun, the company's cleaner are also a hoot along with the rest of the GoTop's staff. But the cherry on top would be No Go Jin's redemption arc as the love he has for Shin A melted his cold, cruel heart and he learns to treat people as humans.
You would think that a drama that jampacked on all the tropes imaginable would be cliché but no, it's pure fun and entertainment at its best.

awesome!
this Drama is funny, romantic, dramatic and full of Surprises. you'll never get bored. the plot Is interesting and even thou the trope "enemies to lovers" has been explored many times, this drama does a good job at not falling into kitsch cliches. the acting is really good and by the end of it you'll even start thinking "what..another plot twist?". the romance is on point and the actors make a good job. highly rewatchable. there is something for everyone to enjoy. the only point I was kind of disappointed is that there is not really a "hot" scene between the main leads, but that's nothing new in the k dramas.lots of real kisses thou. (not the usual still and stiff kisses you get in many dramas).

Awesome up until episode 13!
The Good⌲ The unique & fun romance
⌲ The acting
⌲ The subverted tropes (not all tropes though)
⌲ The fun second couple (I wish they had more screen time)
⌲ The pillow fight!
⌲ Most - but not all- annoyances were dealt with very quickly.
The Average
⌲ The love triangle (not bad not great ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
⌲ The ex-secretary club (I don't think the writer knew what she wanted to do with them)
The Bad
⌲ ML's jarringly forced character growth(s) in the later episodes!
⌲ All the horrible corporate and vengeance plots in the later episodes!
⌲ The lack of fluff in the later episodes
⌲ The ending feels super forced. (As much as I like a nicely wrapped happy ending, I would rather have loose ends, than everything resolved like this)

What started off as a rather interesting story ended up mediocre about halfway through. Despite the decent chemistry between the leads and a refreshing premise mixed in with two rather cliched tropes, the execution of all of these things together was incredibly confusing to digest. The drama attempted to be a few different genres in one, which was kind of reminiscent of Strong Woman Do Bong Soon but that one was actually fun to watch even with some amount of nonsense that it had. But in this case, the bit of romance that we had was pushed aside in the latter half for the sake of the story, so you might think to yourself that it's because the story is going to have a big revelation and the qualms over human morality that will surely follow with it. Yeah, no.
So past episode 10, there were some horrifying lessons about pushing blame onto a third party for your own problems and that if you lack any professionalism while working it's good because in both cases someone else should have empathy for any issues you might have as an individual. This means that instead of seeking professional help or finding ways to cope with it, you force your own burden onto others because your life and how you are living it is apparently their problem, especially if they have no close ties to you whatsoever. I can't stress how ridiculously stupid and also dangerous a message that is - to lump all of that mental weight onto another party in order to ruin their life because of a single thing that they did (which is a purely professional decision at that).
The mental maturity of supporting characters in this show is in unison equal to about a 3 and even that is stretching it. Some scenes made me question what the director was smoking while approving them because serious workplace issues shouldn't be comedic due to the skewed moral lesson you are trying to pummel your viewers with.
It's laughable and on top of that insulting that a country with a really high rate of suicides deals with the subject manner in this way through the content that they offer to their audience. What's even more aggravating is people going scot-free after doing criminal acts because we live in lulu land and people should forgive and live and let go when someone literally walks away from murder with zero regrets. Ridiculous.

A good drama but the poster and synopsis are a tad bit misleading.
I won't talk about the specifics because it would spoil the story. I am writing this review so if someone is interested to watch this show, they can manage their expectations.First of all, the story itself is good,nothing groundbreaking but does remain consistent throughout.All characters, especially the lead actors did very well and their chemistry is good(though it is a little different from what the poster is indicating).The background score is also pleasant.
In the end it is an ENJOYABLE drama.

Decent watch!
A very decent and not so artificial drama that is more like the other romantic drama with 2 crazy leadsCrazy love is your typical romantic kdrama with all the cliches but it's quite different from others drama due to its craziness.
It's a about a very popular maths instructor and his secretary who they both hated each other and started as reel couple to a real couple the most unfamiliar thing was how this male lead was not born with a silver spoon he worked hard for all the success and that was the bonus point but i hated just one thing that how treated his employees like he has himself know the value of hardwork how can he treat them like that i just hated that fact.
Now about romantic aspect the romance was good not so all over the top because it has some thriller and the suspense was not so hard to guess it was your regular thriller no more than that.the leads chemistry was good Krystal was also so good in this one.
I didn't actually remember the music
It's a one time watch for decent story and nothing much
