Chad de Guzman TIME Magazine 01/03/2024
Korean dramas of the romantic variety tend to cater to the teenage or the young professional demographic. Crash Course in Romance is a breath of fresh air. Go to Full Review

S. Poorvaja The Hindu 09/27/2023
The couple’s initial run-ins, banter and misunderstandings are a breeze, more so because they are refreshing characters in their early forties. With excellent actors like Do-Yeon and Kyung-Ho, there’s never a dip in energy... Go to Full Review

Kourtnee Jackson CNET 03/21/2023
Rom-com fans should stream this series about a celebrity private school teacher who gets involved with a former athlete. Scandals, nosy parents and high jinks keep the story interesting for season 1 of this Netflix original. Go to Full Review

Cem Y 03/19/2024 It suffers from the absence of a believable story and being too stereotypic. See more Ranny P 03/21/2023 The choices of actors are questionable… The plot is very interesting and I think the rest of the cast fits the role, except for the lead female and her younger brother. Why would they cast someone who is 50 year old to play a cheerful woman in her 30s? When the main guy said she didn't look like she would have a kid that grown, I cringed because she clearly looks way older than what she's supposed to portray and the messy hair surely doesn't help. I have no problem with her acting but it's the fact that she's physically too old to play that character that kinda ruins it for me, they don't look good together at all because she sometimes look like an ajumma whereas the main guy looks like someone who is in his 30s/late 20s. The younger brother looks even older than her and according to their ages in the show, he's supposed to be 20 something. Also, his hairstyle, outfits and overall demeanor very much resemble the brother in "It's Okay Not To Be Okay" but with much worse acting. See more Saruul Z @MementoMoriZ 03/14/2023 Haven't watched Kdrama in ages but this one seemed to draw me in with the great script and great pacing. It put me through all of the rollercoaster of emotions of KDrama which was appreciated. Overall 5/5 for me. See more LaVern S 03/07/2023 Crash Course in Romance has it all. It is well written. The leads are excellent with fantastic chemistry. The supporting cast is wonderful. Everyone's story is interesting. There's no urge to skip. I really enjoyed the mix or romance, comedy, and drama with a touch of thriller and suspense! I will watch again. See more Read all reviews
