Dramas based on the private education fight are doing well in Korea, which is sensitive to children's education. This is due to the high likelihood of empathizing with the story. "Crash Course in Romance" is an amazing play with a warm and entertaining storyline based on authentic sources. Also, Jeon Do-yeon's acting abilities boosted the drama significantly.

The protagonist of the drama "Crash Course in Romance" is an unlucky athlete who has given up her national team to support her family. This woman, who can still see the Shinpa movie's comments, is so heartbroken that pupils in Gangnam's 8th grade eat triangle gimbap at a convenience store because of the academy. "Who is sad?" I think. "Who is sad about who?" I ponder. That's the kind of lady she is. The vessel of love is enormous.

The man, who has a top annual salary as an instructor and a few Gangnam buildings acquired without loans, is not envious of BTS, and his life setting is made up of Nam Joo, an Online novel, which he cannot eat. A tight schedule that ignores human digestive systems, the emptiness that comes from coming home alone after erupting adrenaline in the classroom, and the pressure and fear that you won't be able to maintain your position at the top. "Isn't that a full sound?" you could ask, yet this man is starving.

Yeoju, our side dish shop owner, who has been mocking Nam Joo, who can't eat or sleep, has also mocked private education, and our children, who share friendships and sprout love under the pressure of the entrance examination hell, are also a drama that depicts a funny aspect of life history, Korea's entrance exam cruelty.

4. Difference between a real character and a drama

Jeon Do-yeon, the female lead, is a strong actress with the nickname "Queen of Cannes" and a strong image as the nation's top actor because she won the Best Actress Award and was appointed as a judge at the Cannes Film Festival. The light comedy scenario was said to have died even before Jeon Do-yeon saw it, with the question, "Do you think Jeon Do-yeon would do this?" Jeon Do-yeon, on the other hand, has long desired to do romance comedy roles, and she has stated that she wants to try to modify her image from how she has behaved. He portrayed a former national team member who appreciates sarcasm and humor, as well as the current owner of a side dish store. She played the part of a former national team member who appreciates humor and sarcasm, as well as the current owner of a side dish shop, which is extremely different from Jeon Do-yeon's elegant and serious true image, which piqued the interest of many viewers.

Jung Kyung-ho, the actor, is a very lovely lover who has a small body and a slim image among netizens, earning him the moniker "paper human." Despite the fact that he has affluence and honor at work, he also has an eating disorder, which triggers viewers' protective instincts and is very synchronized with the image of the actual body type.

Noh Yoon-seo, a new actor, shot a private education commercial for "Daeseong My Mac," which became her most popular commercial since her debut. Afterward, she portrayed a high school student studying in a private education hotspot. Noh Yoon-seo, in reality, is a graduate of Ewha Womans University's Department of Western Painting and is believed to have not just exceptional painting skills but also to have worked hard in school. As a result, there is a connection between the actual performer and the character in the drama.

5. Evaluation 

At the start of the show, it was described as a colorless, odorless romantic comedy that didn't stand out, but over the course of the episode, it received positive feedback by dispersing various additional elements such as adding conflict elements to lead the play and throwing rice cakes to add to the mystery atmosphere. Of course, the elements sprayed in this manner appear to consistently follow the cliche, but it is assessed that Jeon Do-yeon and Jung Kyung-ho are displaying acting that offers this flow of play compelling power.

 

While there have been many recent precedents in which dramas from all broadcasters have reduced animosity and burden with messages that appear to have something to say, this film is also well-received for establishing an environment in which you can focus on the drama itself without feeling burdened.

Six years and five months after "Good Wife," Jeon Do-yeon featured in a tvN drama, and he is rumored to be returning to the romantic comedy genre 17 years after “Lovers in Prague.”

It was openly said that Jung Kyung-ho's character, Choi Chi-yeol, was a one-shot math instructor known as a "man of 1 trillion won," and on January 14, Hyun Woo-jin actually marketed the drama on Instagram. In this regard, rumors were propagated through a Twitter account, and Hyun Woo-jin promptly filed a defamation suit owing to the dissemination of false information, declaring that he would hold the production team of the one-shot scandal responsible for the propagation of the rumor. Even if the story is genuine, Hyun Woo-personal jin's choice is irrelevant. Since the complaint was received, the account and tweet have been deactivated.

The work's Nokeun-ro Academy Street was really filmed at Daechi-dong, Seoul, and Mokdong. The Pride Academy, where Choi Chi-yeol teaches, was shot at the Kim Jong-gil Korean Language Writing Academy in Mok-dong, while Woorim High School, a Namhae-i school, was shot at Chung-Ang University's College of Education in Gangnam 8.
