Crazy For You (2007)

This drama is definitely underrated! I started watching it because, well, my screen name is Crazy4you and the name of this drama is "Crazy For You" haha. I realized later that Yoon Kye Sang was also in it, and I was happy to see him in a main role after seeing him in The Greatest Love. The story isn't anything over-the-top. I was curious to see how it'd turn out, what were they going to do after they realized that the person that Chae Joon had killed was Jin Young's fiance? (Not a spoiler, it's in the synopsis and you see it happen in the very beginning of the drama)



The acting was pretty good. Again, I've seen Yoon Kye Sang in The Greatest Love and seeing him go from his adorable role as Yoon Pil Joo-ssi to a more serious one makes him a versatile actor. Although his character was adorable at times as well! I want to see more with him in it, he's a great actor (: And this was my first drama with Lee Min Yeon but I felt she did a really good job as Jin Young and really pulled off her emotions. Also the halmoni is the same one that was in Coffee Prince - I knew I saw her before but didn't realize until now that that was the drama I'd seen her in. The rest of the cast was great as well (:



I loved the music! I was surprised at hearing such a nice soundtrack to this drama. "Saranghe Michida" (Crazy For You/Crazy For Love) by Lee Soo Young is a really pretty song. I also loved the song "Never" by Yoon Yeo Min! And "Crazy For You" by Mr. Mimi (the artist's name makes me laugh haha).



I can see myself possibly rewatching this drama again, although not anytime soon that's for sure (look at my plan to watch list!)



Overall - I think it's worth giving a try! It's not overly serious, there are some light moments, but there is a good bit of drama. It may not be the best drama out there, but it's still a nice drama! So if you think it sounds like something you would like, add it (:

The first good point about the story, it's the fact that it really start at the first minute of the first episode. Don't say : "I'll watch the first 10 minutes now and then I'll watch the rest after work if I find it interesting", because you'll end up skipping work...

Then, you get to know the characters, and each and every one of them have a real personality, so you can be sure you will be moved by at least one of them. All the characters are slowly evolving during the drama, in a quite subtle way. I gave the story a 9 because I felt it was sometimes a little too slow.

Personally, I was really impressed by the two lead's acting performance, as well as the second male lead (while the second female lead's acting was so average it made me drop a point in my review). Thanks to their acting, you really beleive in the story, and in the characters.

Finally, I'll talk about the music : I just love it. My special award is for the song "Gu Rae Do"(Nevertheless) by Soo Ji, and its instrumental version which were so beautiful and unique they became a real plus to the drama.

Oh and, no spoiler, but I love the ending. I won't say if it's a bad or good one, but I just think this story deserved that kind of ending.

This drama is really worth watching, and I hope you'll enjoy it too!
That's the end of my review, hope it's been helpful.^^

This drama is a classic and it is amazing from every point of view. The plot is really dramatic but also full of suspense, the acting is on point from the 2 main actors and I thought they hâd good chemestry. It is a story that shows everyone nothing is unforgivable or impossible when you trully love someone. I trully recommend this to anyone. I watched too many dramas to count, different genres, but still this drama is still în my all time top along with The Princess man, descendants of the sun, my love from another star, master's sun etc. I would compare this drama to another of my favorites: Secret. They are similar in terms of heavy dramatic plot, love that surpasses everything with repentance and time. One word for it: amazing.

This drama gave me major feels - ah, throughout the entire drama I had tears pouring out like crazy. It's a great drama.
Story: I've seen a couple like this one already but each one is new to me. Past's entwined and future's entwined - the description reminded me of Beyond the Clouds (2014) which also stars Yoon Kye Sang as the lead in almost the same predicament - which is one of the reasons this intrigued me.
Cast: I started this drama for Yoon Kye Sang and I have to say it was a good choice, he is a great actor that can really pull the emotions out of you. It was my first time seeing the leading lady though and it took me a couple of episodes for her to grow on me. There were a few episodes in the middle where I really hated the lead girl, she was so mean. The second leading characters were nice and there were only a few times I got mad at them.
Music: Pure perfection <3 I love OST's like this one has <3 Really reminded me of Swallow the Sun's OST
Re-watch value: 8/10 - I loved it and would watch it again sometime.

QUITE GOOD ACTUALLY

Considering this drama is from 2007, it's been quite good tbh.
The plot was cliche but the process followed was awesome.
Great dialogues with typical melodramatic moments.
And what's surprising is that there's nobody evil in this drama.
No negative character at all, almost all of them are right in their own stance and perspective which you rarely come across in any drama.

I binged this one at 1.5x speed and it's been good enough to watch.
THe acting was spot on, in fact, it's been awesome.
Also, the BGM and songs in this drama especially the English songs selection is phenomenal.

A one time watch for sure.

Amor e Tragédia em um Romance de Cura

Crazy for You é um melodrama centrado em Soo-jin, uma mulher que perde seu noivo em um acidente de carro, e Kim Chae-joon, o homem que causou o acidente e, por sua vez, perdeu sua namorada no mesmo incidente.

Always looking for these types of dramas
A little bit repeated story but, still unique in its way

PROS:
1-Really sad Melodrama but ends in a happy way.
2-The relations between the leads are developed in a perfect speed not too fast neither too slow.
3-This drama can get you satisfied the ending couldn't be anymore better.

CONS:
1-I see that the final twist isn't good.

This is my favorite type of drama cause it's touching and the general pattern swings between passionate love, hate, pitiful characters and sacrifice. All of these characteristics can move your feeling really hard and that makes the drama interesting.

Finally, even if you are not a Melodrama type give it a try I see it's underrated.
Hope you enjoy it.
:)
