Mad for Each Other

Mad for Each Other on Netflix has some pretty good writers who could bring humor to mental health issues and had me laughing hysterically and got me hooked in the first 2 episodes. You just have to lighten up and laugh. It's ok not to be ok and also it is ok to laugh. Also, the neighborhood is, believe it or not, realistic - I know of one in the Chicago burbs where it could have been a documentary - between the crazies, the comfort dogs, the nosy condo associations, the drug dealers in the neighborhood, trash bins police, the scary parking lots and more - Good job on the series.

This is a nice change only 25 min and the actors play the insane role well.

I didn't know what to expect from this show, I thought it might just be silly and there might not be much to it.

But I was so pleasantly surprised. It is absolutely wonderful, you will laugh, you will cry, you will sympathise with the characters. It is a lovely cast. They cover so many topics that other dramas would shy away from in this show. It is definitely worth the watch, I would highly recommend.!!!!!

The series starts out like many other romantic comedies, but soon turns into a quite sophisticated exploration of the consequences of trauma, and how we struggle to recover from it within ourselves while still trying to develop and maintain relationships with others.

Jung Woo has matured nicely since his role in Reply 1994, and Oh Yeon So is affectingly realistic as a woman traumatised by her experiences.

Definitely worth your time, and while you will get some laughs, you will also have some gut punch moments.

EDIT: Unfortunately it seems to have fallen foul of the TV viewer percentages, and the final episode (13) was the last four crammed into one! Sad.

First of all, need to say that unlike the other Korean dramas, the episodes are short (just 30 mins) and there are only 13 episodes! Makes it even more fun to binge watch.

Secondly, the drama is hilarious but with a great underlining message. This drama talks mainly about trauma, human behaviour when they are with trauma and how others see them, how easily manipulated Koreans are with just mere gossip (without fact checking), and how everyone right away judge people as "bad" just because they heard a rumour, and how their lives are affected by "scandals". And on top of this, there's a nice mystery to solve as well.

Got to say, 'Mad for Each Other' covers a lot of aspects. And it feels very real. The acting and chemistry among the leads and the support cast is excellent. You will feel frustrated when they are sad, you will feel joy when they are happy, and when they cry, you will cry with them!

A must watch!
