Hilarious, sensitive, layered.

The most attractive thing about this drama would be the promos/teasers — they feel so out of the place and unusual that it makes you really curious about the drama. I began this drama because I wanted something light and wasn’t expecting much, but wow, it was such a pleasant surprise!

Mad For Each Other has managed to address topics be which can horribly go wrong without be insensitive. Every character in this has a sense of purpose, and their interactions despite being filler don’t feel so. I loved the protagonists in this — so different from the usual leads we are used to. This is a proper enemies to lovers trope, I think. They start off in an extremely misunderstood circumstances but the progress goes on positively. For a short drama, they have nailed it without make it seem out of place. I also loved the supporting characters. Their interactions felt pure and there was always such growth.

Towards the ending however, I felt things got a little too dramatic. The drama has been a bit extra since the beginning but it’s managed to be that without being slapstick, but the end, it got a bit too over the top — certain scenes just felt unnecessary. I enjoyed the drama because it avoided the usual tropes, but at one point it does move towards that direction and yet manages to salvage itself, I think. Overall a good drama to watch when you want something not very intense!
