Korean Drama Crazy Love is a predictable rom com
Story
Shin A works as a secretary for impossible to please Noh Go Jin, or else mister Noh manners, a genius mathematics instructor, while she dreams of one day becoming an instructor herself. However, one day she is diagnosed with cancer in the final stages. Shin A blames her boss for her misfortune and pays him a visit at his house to give him her resignation personally. Unfortunately, and after they fight, Go Jin gets into a hit-and-run accident, resulting in him being in hospital with amnesia and Shin A being accused to be the culprit. In a desperate attempt to avoid going to prison, Shin A announces in front of everyone that she is her boss’s secret fiancee!
Korean Drama Crazy Love is a rom com that follows the Korean rom com pattern step by step.
And it indeed has all the trops, the amnesia, the enemies to lovers, the terminal illness, the office drama, the tragic past etc. Even the best friend motif was unoriginal.
Still, the drama has its moments. The couple was sweet and they looked good together. They also had romantic chemistry and some intense kissing scenes.
As for the office drama, it was interesting for a while and especially in the final episodes, though by then the drama started getting boring.
In addition, some of the side characters were annoying. And the ex girlfriend trop was predictable and cheesy.
