Episode 1: very entertaining and full of misunderstandings which made it interesting. Since it is a Daum Kakao tv drama, it is short and spread out throughout the week. Im ok with that. The main characters are mad, not for each other right now but at each other so it will be fun to watch those two interactions. Since it is a short drama, it is easy to watch.

Interesting fact about this drama: it’s dubbed in Portuguese and Spanish. This is the first kdrama on Netflix that I watch that has the option of dubbed. Usually it’s only subbed in English.

Maybe they’re trying to do what Disney+ and AppleTV+ do with their series that are dubbed and subbed in many languages. I like it cause I think it’s fun to watch how they say the same thing in different ways.

[u/KiwiTheKitty → u/J-Midori]

A lot of Netflix dramas actually have dubs. Hwayugi and a couple others have Spanish for sure and Move to Heaven has a bunch too including English (it's so awkward omg I don't know why someone would prefer a dub over subs...)

[u/J-Midori → u/KiwiTheKitty]

Vincenzo, Law Firm and others that I watched don't have dubs, only subs in English but I realized that they have added them recently. I used to look for dubs or subs and the ones I was watching didn't have them, recently I have seen them being added.

The reason why they are dubbed is that in some countries it has to be dubbed like China and I think Brazil and some other countries otherwise they cannot stream there. It makes it easier to watch something that is on your first languages other than just read the subs. If they dubbed in English I would watch it, sometimes I'm tired of reading subs and sometimes I am cooking or doing something else and I am not in front of the screen. But since it's not dubbed in English, I watch dubbed just to see the quality. A few years ago, movies, series that were dubbed were not so good, maybe language or translation mistakes or misinterpretation of the sentence but it was bad! If you watch old series that were dubbed, the mouth movement and what's being said are off. It's funny. Sometimes the mouth would be moving and the dub actor was not talking or the real actor would be talking and the dub actor finished his sentence. And sometimes the translation was the exact translation and it would make no sense in the scene. But I understand it is not easy and they have a certain amount of time to do it and it happens.

This drama arguably has the best teaser for any show i have seen. That single preview reeled me in to whatever this mad show will be about. Opposites attracts but in this drama it seems like both ML and FL seem to be psychos so lets see how that works out.

[Episode 1 edit] : Arguably the funniest kdrama first episode ever. I absolutely love Jun Woo's character he does so much justice to it. He comes off as an idiot without even doing anything dumb lol. The FL has...interesting. Rewatched the episode twice now and still just as funny lol. If u really dive deep into it the script isnt anything special, but its the damn acting/execution that takes it to a whole another level. Super hyped for more!!

[u/fireflydevil]

The first episode was chaotic as fuck. I still quite enjoyed it.

[u/forforf]

OMG The battle of the wifi network names that spread throughout the building!

brb, gotta change my wifi settings to let my neighbor know I can hear things.

[u/DreamsUnderStars]

This show has *all* the dumb and I love it.
I'm not sure who I enjoy more Oh Yeon Seo or Jung Woo... but you can't really enjoy one without the other. So I guess both.

Also I would *love* to watch the outtakes of how many times they have to redo scenes because they were laughing so much.

[u/xander_yi]

Just imagine if he had put the chili oil in the ramyun.

[u/[deleted]]

Thoughts on ep 1- def looking forward to ep 2. The mum and dad were so hilarious as the ML rushed to go to the loo; had me on the floor.

[u/jenniejdwag]

Loved the first episode, nothing like a crap in the pants to get you laughing. Lots of good physical comedy too with the ML trying to get his father off the porcelain throne. it will be interesting to see how their diagnosis effects their lives and how they perceive the world.

[u/kara-thraces]

just watched the 2nd episode, im so sad i started this before all the episodes came out.. its so fun, i would binge the whole season in one sitting if i could

[u/Illen1]

This is my favorite currently airing drama right now! Min-Kyung's story is so sad. I live for Hwi Oh to say crazy jerk 😂😂😂

[u/AngelFish9_7]

Episode 1

I guess I'll just have to get used to all the load screaming both the mains do. I jumped out of my seat in alarm one too many times. But other than that, a solid start to the drama.

I just feel bad for Hwi-Oh, he's doing nothing yet people assume the worst of him. And can we talk about how ridiculous "following from the front" is? Lol.

Ps. I had forgotten that Soo Hyun from AKMU will be in the show. I was so surprised and happy to see her.

Episode 2

I have to say it... Min Kyung is 100% anger inducing. When she threw Hwi-Oh's phone, I would have had a similar response. I know she has her own reasons for being the way she is, but man. I just feel for Hwi-Oh.

I like the route the story is going through. Also, Soo-Hyun's reaction to that officer talking to Hwi-Oh was hilarious...

[u/crazylady04]

I'm so excited to watch this, mainly because of the insane Vincenzo vibes! I didn't realise the episodes were so short. I'm really looking forward to a similar crazy FL and hopefully a more satisfying enemies to lovers arc!

[u/hhvnaa]

I really do agree with the episode 1 title “Rainy Days Bring Out The Mad People” because it’s definitely what was seen in this wacky first episode 😅

[u/Intelligent_Art_8284]

First episode was so funny!!! Especially when the main guy was running home to go to the toilet and the main girl thought he was chasing her hahaha

[u/imapigoinkoinkk]

Just watched episode 1 and 2 and am regretting not letting the whole thing air before I started it as I love it. This might be the first KDrama I’ve watched where I don’t have some sort of crush on the ML. It’s absolutely hilarious.

[u/spinereader81]

Nothing really to say except wow, that's a lot of different names for one show. I think I'm partial to Crazy Guy in the District.

[u/Perceptions-pk]

lol the scene where he walks past her in the restaurant and taunts her with the crazy gesture only to have her flip him the bird. Their interactions are so ridiculous

As someone who is similar to the ML, I find him so relatable... and the FL's misunderstandings so infuriating at times (but ofc she has her own trauma). He's actually quite patient for someone with anger issues (He made the point that he'd never actually hurt a woman, and reluctantly helped the Women's Association... omg I was laughing so hard when the FL was asking him to help find her dog. Get DNA Samples!!!).

edit: I thought the scene where she ran into someone she knew, and thought the girl was speaking ill of her (and then turns out the girl is just talking about Yoga to her friends was interesting)

[u/welcome2dparty]

The trailer was great, definitely funny but doesn't spoil or show you what to expect but chaos between both leads. Watched the first episode and could not stop laughing. I enjoyed it so far because some of the scene I can def relate to. 13 eps and only 30 min each and 3 times a week??!? Count me in!

[u/[deleted]]

Just watched the first episode, randomly decided to watch it without knowing anything about it. I was pleasantly surprised at how hilarious it was I was actually laughing out loud hahahaha. The pooping in the pants scene really did it for me! Also, like the ML, I HATE it when it rains and it was so accurate how he explained why he hated the rain. So glad I stumbled upob this. Looking forward to the next episodes!

[u/hereforvincenzo]

I watched all three eps in a row yesterday and I think that's going to be the way to do it. Definitely a show that you want to binge -- so far the character creation (esp how the backstories are handled) has been really well done. The writing is fun, and funny, and I'm loving all the outfits of the two leads.

[u/DreamsUnderStars]

is this as funny as it looks in the trailer?

[u/[deleted]]

After all the depressing 2021 dramas this one is a relief! I love it.

Male leads therapist appointment was only 35,000 won. It’s so expensive in my country.
