Interview with Park So-dam and Seo In-guk, who says he was most drawn to Kim Jae-uck’s character’s story as “he definitely had the most intense plot out of everyone.”
I just finished watching the first four eps and for anyone who read the webtoon, I'm confused. I saw earlier that…
His character exists in the webtoon but IIRC, he only interacts with the two car accident victims (the café part-timer and the novelist), the serial killer, the hunter, and his lackey who goes to prison for him. The drama expanded his role and has linked him to all of the incarnations so far except for the high schooler and the baby. And fans already know who’s playing the serial killer but not the hunter. They’ve replaced a few of the webtoon’s incarnations with new ones so the hunter may not even be in the drama.
Disney+ originally released Crazy Love in March 2022—at the same time as it aired in South Korea—but in only eight countries in Asia, plus Australia. For some inexplicable reason, D+ did not make Crazy Love available in North America, Latin America, or Europe until May of this year, nearly 15 months after it first aired in SK. To make matters worse, Disney’s marketing and promotional efforts were negligible. Crazy Love would have been exponentially more successful had it been released on platforms like Netflix or Viki as they do a much better job of marketing their shows and they don’t hold shows hostage for over a year before releasing them outside of Asia.
i just finished episode 14 and the thing is… they resolved the thing with the mother to rapidly. like she had…
The writers really dropped the ball with that storyline, which is a shame because it’s an important topic which hasn’t been covered that much in K-Dramas.
They failed to explain that for many years, overseas adoption was a huge money-making scheme for corrupt Korean orphanages and a lot of kids were "sold" illegally without the necessary paperwork and approvals. Kids were registered as orphans “found abandoned on the streets” even though they weren’t actually orphans. It seems that Ryan's mom was unconscious for a long time—which they never specified—and the orphanage took the first opportunity to send him to the U.S., probably using a false name, which is why she couldn't find him.

Just started episode 1 and I’m already in love with Ha Joon’s character. And has anyone talked about his English…
🙋🏻♀️So nice to see other Crazy Love fans here. Ha Joon’s English has improved quite a bit since CL.
Don’t know if you’re keeping up with Kim Jae-uck but he has a guest role in Death’s Game in December, a sageuk coming up next year, and a stage musical in March.
This might be my very first weekender if I can stick with it till the end. I tried with The Real Has Come but had to drop it after Ep 10 because the acting, writing, and production values were so very, very bad, and I disliked most of the characters.
Re: Destined With You, the FL’s the bear because of the cutesy hoody the ML bought her from the thrift store. She should actually be a koala given the way she was clinging to Rowoon’s leg.
Not sure which drama you’re referencing but it doesn’t sound like Her Private Life. The ML Kim Jae-uck was not in Business Proposal—although I agree that it’s ridiculously overrated—and Her Private Life came out in 2019 so I wouldn’t exactly call it “new.”
can someone tell me what episode he regains his memories spoilers please
MAJOR SPOILER * * * * * * He never really lost his memory. He’s just pretending to try and flush out the person who’s threatening him. He reveals his ruse to the audience at the end of Ep 4. He reveals the truth to the FL at the end of Ep 7.
Just how much more intense can it get!?😬
