Review: “Pretty Crazy” Korean Film (2025)
“Pretty Crazy” is a cinematic treat that offers a delightful and light story. You can simply sit back, laugh, and enjoy the ride from start to finish.
An Engaging Story That’s Easy to Love
“Pretty Crazy” boasts a good pace. The story is simple, clear, and keeps audiences engaged. You don’t have to think too hard about where it’s going. It just flows naturally.
The story follows Lee Gil-Gu. His normal life gets turned upside down when he meets his mysterious new neighbor, Jeong Seon-Ji, who has a “special condition.” At first, you might think that she has multiple personalities. However, the story gives you a real surprise that you didn’t see coming.
Great Acting Brings the Story to Life
Following his performances in the action film “I, the Executioner” and the drama “Flex X Cop,” Ahn Bo Hyun delivers an excellent and fresh performance as Gil-Gu. It’s a significant change from his usual “tough guy” roles. He naturally plays the innocent and funny character, creating a charming character that feels real and heartfelt.
YoonA’s acting as Jeong Seon-Ji is also amazing. Made her acting debut in 2007, you can see that she can do so much more as an actress in this film.
Her dramatic expansions of her acting range show as she masterfully plays two characters, the main character and another persona. It shows through her subtle and powerful change in her facial expression, vocal tone, and even the intensity in her eyes. Playing multiple roles at once is a hard job, but YoonA does it brilliantly.
The other actors, Sung Dong Il and Joo Hyun Young, also get their time to shine. They have just the right amount of screen time. The chemistry among the characters feels strong and believable, which makes the whole movie compelling.
A Winning Formula with Just One Small Flaw
The film’s humor evoked laughter and enthusiastic applause from the audience. The actors delivered their lines perfectly. At the same time, the chemistry between the characters felt strong and natural. The story builds up well to its climax.
However, the film has a minor weakness. A little more about the characters’ pasts or backgrounds would have made the emotional moments feel even stronger and helped the audience connect with them more.
