Co-dependent Drinking Relationship Romance
My rating: 8/10I don't watch movies much because I'm so spoiled by series, where plots and characters get room to breathe, change, and develop over time. But every now and then, I crave a quick romance fix, and Crazy Romance delivered just that.
I would have loved to see this expanded into a full series—there's enough emotional depth, backstory, and chemistry here to sustain multiple episodes. That said, for a feature-length film, they did an impressive job packing in a complex, heartfelt story without feeling rushed. It ends on a genuinely high, uplifting note that left me smiling.
I'd recommend it for anyone needing a satisfying, low-commitment romance hit. If it popped up on streaming, I'd happily watch it again, though I probably wouldn't actively seek out a rewatch.

My biggest issue was the constant drinking—it made it tough to fully root for their romance. It felt like they were heading toward a codependent relationship built around alcohol rather than healthy habits. If either (or both) had chosen to step away from drinking, the story would have felt lighter and more hopeful overall.
That said, Sun-young's epic takedown of the malicious office gossipers was legendary—one for the books! I could absolutely see these two together long-term and even happy... but the drinking would definitely be a lingering problem in real life.
The ending was abrupt they reunite after a 3 month pause (not clear why the split) and say they missed each other. No love confession but it is clear it is headed there. Many would be fine with that. I am a happy ever after confess and sealed with a kiss type of ending fan.

It's more Ordinary than Crazy
Crazy Romance (2019)Gong Hyo Jin is the queen of romcom! 😊 Supposedly the literal translation of this movie is "The Most Ordinary Romance" and I think it is more appropriate than "Crazy".
There's nothing crazy about the movie, just 2 adults who came out of failed relationships, had misunderstandings and gradually (or grudgingly) fell in love. I like it because it felt real.
The only thing I didnt like was there were too many drunk scenes that I was also confused like them if what they were saying were sincere or it was the liquor talking. But i think from the very start they already noticed each other, and felt the same pull, that's why even heartbroken they couldnt stay away.
Rating: 8.5/10
