15 minutes into ep 15 and I have to pause and comment. I must commend the writer for this master piece and the…
I don’t excuse Go Jin’s harsh words or past attitude. He seem to be a perfectionist with a very small tolerance for excuses, as he has worked really hard to accomplish all he has despite all he had and is facing.
Go Jin’s ex-secretaries – they were spoken harshly to by Go Jin. One was fired and the other 2 quite within 3 months. Who doesn’t know that the world of work ain’t easy, especially if you are a woman in a male dominated culture. However, if you apply yourself you can make it work for you. These women for a year or more, instead of moving on with their lives and bettering themselves, spent their entire time harassing Go Jin. To the point where one of them son sent a homemade bomb. While another, when failed an interview blamed Go Jin for not getting the job, then proceeded to spray his security camera and throw feces on his vacation home gate. Is this not bullying?
Now, Ms Na Sooyeon - blamed Go Jin for destroying her teaching career, because he did not believe she was innocent and for letting her go from Go Top; instead of her accuser. Really? Which school when a teacher is accused of inappropriate behavior with a student take on the task of proving that teacher innocent, when they have numerous other students to think about. She spent her time stalking and harassing Go Jin instead of proving her innocence and restarting her career. Go Jin 12 years ago was also accused falsely, but he fought his way back and created Go Top and became the top math instructor in Korea.
In contrast - Shin A chose to put up with Go Jin’s reprimands for a year because she was working to accomplish her dream of becoming an instructor. (In my opinion she did a crappy job as a secretary, but that’s a whole different discussion – hehehe). At the beginning she also blamed Go Jun for her misdiagnosed illness. But at least she out of everyone who was bullying Go Jin (although she thought of killing him), could not hurt him. And although she did things to get back at him, whenever she thought he was hurt in any way, she was greatly concerned. She also realized that he was not the cause of her misdiagnosed illness. And that the life she was experiencing was a result of the choices she made. She, had the power to choose differently.
All these characters want Go Jin to apologize to them, but none of them chose to offer forgiveness from the beginning and move on with their lives. Forgiveness is never for the person who hurt you, but for you. It helps you to let go of the hurt and move on with your life. Most time the people who hurt us are not aware that hey have. If these characters had chosen offering forgiveness instead of seeking vindication, they would have been better off.
15 minutes into ep 15 and I have to pause and comment. I must commend the writer for this master piece and the issues that she has addressed. One of the main theme seem to be bullying.
Bullying is defined as – intentional repetitive aggressive behavior in which someone with hostile intent causes another person injury or discomfort.
I know many won’t agree with my view but that’s ok. Interestingly, everyone is or was of the opinion that Go Jin was a bully and should be put in his place. But, stepping away from the ‘mob’ or ‘hive’ mindset and analyzing the characters that everyone was sympathizing with, my opinion is opposite. I think the so called ‘victims’ are bullies. Here me out.
Gave up refreshing the page and went and did my report. Just got home and gonna watch ep 15 now. 😊 I can just bet that I'm gonna have lots to say about this ep.
I think i'm going "crazy". I have a report to write for my Board (which is due today) and I haven't started writing yet, because i'm here refreshing the page waiting for Crazy Love on my side of the world - DWl.
I’m guessing she is the stalker that the lawyer had mentioned in ep 3, who pretended to be Go Jin’s finance. She is also the one with the failed attempted suicide scars on her wrist, who put the sleeping pill in the wine in ep 8, and rigged the lighting in ep 9. Did she have a crush on Go Jin that was never accepted?
I’m guessing that when she had bumped into Shin A in ep 11 it was to push her in front of the bike, but Go Jin pulled her out of the way in time. Now in ep 14, she is dressed in white, like some sort of wedding dress. Also, whenever they showed the photo-board she keep posting pics of Go Jin on, she has been doing a count down from d/78 (day 78) to d/0. Day 0 is the day she kidnaps Shin A and contacts Go Jin directly. What was the count down for? A wedding day? A revenge day? What’s y’all guesses on this?
Hi Everyone (Dwl – in my head, I sound like our GoTop instructor, Michelle Lee, saying hi). This is my first time commenting on a drama after watching numerous c/k/j-dramas for the past 4 years. Crazy Love is the first drama that has moved me to join MDL. I couldn't help but join the Crazy Lovers Team. I have lots of thoughts on the story so far (which is brilliant in its writing and directing), but for now wanna discuss “the mystery woman” who kidnapped Shin A.

Crazy Lovers, what’s your take on this?
