✨ Tagline: “When love strikes at 2 a.m., expect the unexpected.”

🏢 The Plot: Love Upstairs, Secrets Downstairs

Gil-goo (Ahn Bo-hyun), a young and unemployed man, is living a dull, repetitive life. Everything changes when Jeong Seon-ji (Im Yoon-ah) moves into the apartment downstairs. At first, she seems like the perfect neighbor—sweet, gentle, and enchanting enough to steal Gil-goo’s heart overnight.

But the very next morning, Gil-goo encounters a completely different Seon-ji in the elevator—creepy, bizarre, and almost unrecognizable. His confusion deepens until her father, Jang-soo (Sung Dong-il), reveals the shocking truth:

By day, Seon-ji is ordinary. But when the clock strikes 2 a.m., a demon awakens inside her.

Suddenly, Gil-goo finds himself with the strangest part-time job ever—being Seon-ji’s guardian during her nightly transformation. Love, chaos, and late-night comedy ensue as he tries to protect both Seon-ji and his heart.

💕 Why Pretty Crazy Works

At its heart, Pretty Crazy isn’t just about Seon-ji’s curse—it’s about falling in love with someone for who they are, both the sweet and the scary. Gil-goo’s decision to stick by her despite her “demonic” side makes this rom-com as heartwarming as it is hilarious.

As Seon-ji tells Gil-goo in one unforgettable line:“If you can love me at 2 a.m., then maybe you can love me at any time.”

It’s a romantic comedy with fangs, laughter, and a dash of midnight madness.

💌 Whether you’re in it for Yoona’s charm, Ahn Bo-hyun’s comedic timing, or the quirky midnight premise, Pretty Crazy delivers a love story that proves sometimes the craziest romances are the ones worth fighting for.
