The fourth title in Disney Plus's attempt to carve out a piece of the K-drama pie, Crazy Love shows some potential after the PR disaster that was Snowdrop and the somewhat initially vague sci-fi thriller that was Grid.

Crazy Love follows Noh Go-jin, who is apparently a huge celebrity. His fans include students, grown men and even ahjummas (older women) who would spend hours lining up just to see him and get his autograph and even pass him food as gifts.

But no, he is not a singer or idol, nor is he an actor. In reality, Noh, portrayed by actor Kim Jae-wook (Coffee Prince), is a top tutor in one of the most prestigious private education centres in South Korea.

Private education academies are a huge thing in South Korea. Parents pay through the nose to get their children into these institutions for a chance to get into Seoul University, the apex university in the nation. Suffice to say, the reverence for Noh is surprisingly well-founded in this regard.

Trailing in his wake like a constant shadow is Krystal from girl group f(x), who plays his introverted and harried looking personal secretary Lee Shin-a, constantly at the mercy of Noh's tyrannical whims.

Much like Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada, Noh rules over his academy with an iron fist, his mere three-piece suited presence inspiring awe and respect from his employees and subordinates alike, with secretary Lee constantly on her toes at his beck and call.

A placard in the academy pompously reads 'Top instructor in the universe' with Noh's looming figure on it, as Lee rushes about her duties, putting the right amount of mint sprigs into his lemon water, keeping his coffee at 80 degrees Celsius and stressing out over omitting onions in his sandwich.

Crazy Love is all about pursuing your passion and achieving your dreams, as Lee aspires to eventually become an instructor in Noh's prestigious academy. However, she must first succeed in her secretarial duties and impress her boss, which is a monumental task as he constantly lectures, threatens and harangues the poor girl without end.

The series is almost a carbon copy of The Devil Wears Prada initially, but breaks away when Lee eventually discovers that she does not have much time to live and decides in the second episode that enough is enough.

There is some promise as to the plot despite it not being particularly inventive, and I had some difficulty as to fathoming where the series was headed, considering the rather ambiguous direction.

I'd surmise that the Crazy Love refers to Lee's initial respect for her boss, which transforms as Lee eventually takes it further and her infatuation becomes reality.

What comes next can only be hilarious and unpredictable, or could potentially spiral into catastrophe considering the ambiguity of the direction so far.

New episodes of Crazy Love will be released on Disney+ every Monday and Tuesday.
