Show more >> Crazy Love is a film that tries to juggle multiple genres, and while it has its moments, it doesn't quite hit the mark. The premise is intriguing: a narcissistic math genius facing a potential murder. However, the execution feels uneven at times. No Go Jin's character is fascinating, but his narcissism can be grating, making it hard to root for him. Lee Shin A’s transformation from a quiet secretary to a more assertive figure is a nice touch, but it sometimes feels rushed. The film's suspenseful moments are compelling, yet they often clash with the romantic undertones, leaving the overall tone feeling disjointed. It's an interesting watch, but you might find yourself wishing for more coherence. Show less
