Pfft who cares how many people watch it, like yh its underated for sure but most things get ruined with too many…
Unfortunately, the entertainment industry cares a lot, especially television. And Kim Jae-uck’s first official K-Drama ML role was in Her Private Life, another show which didn’t perform that well in South Korea. As gifted as he is as an actor, he needs to be somewhat bankable to keep getting the best offers.

I’m swooning over Kim Jae Wook & Krystal’s great chemistry in Crazy Love BTS videos. The whole production…
KJU and Krystal are very cute together but the BTS for Her Private Life are much, much swoonier. KJU and Park Min-young’s chemistry in the BTS is even hotter than on the show. Here’s a compilation of some of the BTS: https://youtu.be/ia6uRfeOD-M
Highly doubtful given what’s transpired so far. And KJU said in many interviews that he chose this project because it’s light and fun and he wanted to provide relief from the stress of the pandemic and make everyone laugh.
A tricky question to answer. How spoiled do you want to be?
She was misdiagnosed so she is not going to die, thankfully. She never told anyone about her supposed illness but he found her journal, which spurs him to ask her to date him (Ep 10 cliffhanger). We are not privy to what was in the journal but it’s safe to assume she wrote about her impending death but hadn’t yet updated it re: the not really dying thing.
Is this really good ?! The comments and rating doesn't make sense.
Yes, it really is really good. It starts off a bit slow—as is often the case with K-Dramas with all the exposition and players being introduced—but each ep is better than the last. In my experience, it’s rare for a K-Drama to keep getting better and better even after the halfway point.
Here’s what I wrote about the ratings in my review of Crazy Love:
“It’s such a shame the ratings are so bad but often, abysmal ratings are not indicative of a show’s quality so I hope people will give it a chance.
One issue may be that dark comedies like this don’t tend to appeal to older women who are the primary as-they-air terrestrial viewers of TV dramas in South Korea. Younger viewers who are more likely to like this genre are watching online and on DVRs, days after the eps air on KBS2, and these views are not reflected in the ratings.
And KBS screwed up big time by delaying Crazy Love’s release, giving A Business Proposal and Military Prosecutor Doberman too strong of a head start, especially as the latter two are getting marketing support from Netflix (ABP) and VIKI (MPD), whereas Crazy Love’s been relegated to Disney+, which doesn’t seem to know what the heck it’s doing with its K-Dramas. It’s utterly ridiculous that Disney+ is only streaming Crazy Love in a handful of Asian countries.”
ETA: Crazy Love’s timeslot overlapped with ABP’s and MPD’s on Monday and Tuesday nights.

KJU and Krystal are clearly very comfortable with each other but their chemistry is very big brother-little sister to me.
And maybe even comment that you like CL as well!
Thank you! Hwaiting!!
