Crazy First Love VCD

Tae-il (Cha Tae-hyun) has been recognized as one problematic student at Busan High school, which however also draws much attention on him. Ever since he was a kid, his ultimate goal has been to marry his childhood sweetheart Il-mae (Son Yae-jin). One big obstacle he always has to face during his attempts to approach the love of his life is Il-mae's overprotective father Young-dae (Yoo Dong-geun). In order to turn Tae-il into the best son-in-law ever, Young-dae keeps requesting this young man who originally ranked 300,000 as a high student in Korea to pass one test after another. Having made the biggest progress in his life to become No.3000, Tae-il is again put to the test to get himself into the Law School of Seoul National University. At the time while Tae-il buries his nose into books, he does not forget to protect his first love by driving all of Il-mae's admirers away. This young lady, however, dies for love and has no option but seduce this lawyer-to-be bookworm. Despite her attractive moves, her mission is in vain due to Tae-il's intolerable self-constraint. When both of them have graduated from university, Tae-il's study journey has yet to be completed as he now has to sit for the bar examination to become a licensed lawyer and Il-mae is then employed to work at a big firm. The big day finally comes as Tae-il has passed his exam and Young-dae allows him to marry his only daughter! But now it is Il-mae who says no because she has already been engaged to her wealthy young boss. Nearly being torn apart by this shocking news, Tae-il never gives up on his only dream and motivation in his life and sets his heart to win his first love back.

Cha Tae-hyun Did It Again!

The chemistry between Cha Tae-hyun and Son Yae-jin has already sparkled in "Lover's Concerto". This time they collaborate again and not surprisingly it did not take much time for "Crazy First Love" to become a blockbuster in Korea. When the "My Sassy Girl" perfect boyfriend meets the "The Classic" innocent girl-next-door, "Crazy First Love" is literally about the first love that the single-minded Tae-il has to crazily defend. Actually before the opening of this movie, Cha Tae-hyun has topped the chart by 30.3% in a survey aimed to find out who is the most potential and desirable Korean star to play a role of a romantic but unrestrained lover.

Without the look of a classic hunk, Cha Tae-hyun, with his acting and singing talents, has had to work really hard until he finally made it into the A-List in Korea. Born in 1976, Cha Tae-hyun has long started his acting career unnoticed and most of his early works were television dramas such as "The First Love", "Beautiful Sunlight", "Sunflower" and "Boyfriend (Juliet's Man)". In 1997 Cha made his first big break in his debut movie "Hallelujah" which won him a victory over Won Bin and the Best Male New Comer Award. His comic talent is once again revealed in "Crazy First Love". In order to make a huge impression, Cha adds an extra comic touch by wearing an Afro wig in the movie. The wig soon became a trademark of Cha and he has even worn it during the movie press conference causing everyone to explode into laughter. In the film he also speaks the Busan dialect intending to make his character more hilarious. It is however a pity that there are not many people who can understand the dialect and so the lines where the Busan dialect is used had to be subtitled. With the king of comedy in the house, "Crazy First Love" would never have become such a hit without the participation of the upcoming queen of romance Son Yae-jin. After making an impressive couple in "Lover's Concerto", these two stars agreed to work together again shortly after reading the story of this movie.
