Douban Rating: ⭐ 8.2
📌 Plot Summary
Not all love stories begin with butterflies—some start with flying umbrellas and accusations of perversion.
In Mad for Each Other, the male and female leads are anything but ordinary. When they first meet, Lee Min-kyung (Oh Yeon-seo) thinks Noh Hwi-oh (Jung Woo) is a creep and attacks him with an umbrella. He, on the other hand, suffers from anger control disorder and nearly explodes—though not literally.
Both are deeply wounded in different ways:
🧍♂️ Noh Hwi-oh, a once passionate detective, was dismissed from his job after a traumatic case, losing his fiancée and spiraling into uncontrollable rage.
🧍♀️ Lee Min-kyung, once a successful and admired woman, fell into paranoia and OCD after a personal tragedy.
Fate—cruel or kind—brings them together not only as neighbors, but also as therapy buddies seeing the same psychologist. Their clashing personalities lead to explosive interactions, but slowly, layers peel back, and healing begins in unexpected ways.
💬 Highlight Moments
- Hwi-oh counting to calm himself down, only for Min-kyung to spark his rage all over again.
- Min-kyung’s dry sarcasm and fierce independence.
- The awkward but hilarious therapy sessions.
- A surprisingly touching bond forming between two “mad” people.
