The Story
A former handball national athlete is forced to give up her sports career after the sudden death of her mother leaves her with a younger brother who has Autism Spectrum Disorder and a young niece to raise. Now she owns a small side-dish shop with her best friend. But when her niece enters high school, she discovers there is a whole world of educational training and demands that she had never known. When she meets a famous math tutor, she strikes a deal with him to trade math lessons for food from her shop. And as the pair get to know each other, they find comfort in each other’s company, and learn that they share a surprising connection from their past.
Should I Watch
“Crash Course in Romance” is a romantic comedy that focuses on themes of education and family. It’s like a rom-com version of “Sky Castle”. If you are looking for a straight-forward rom-com that revolves entirely around the love story, this one may frustrate you, as it tries to hit across various genre and important social subjects. In its quest to do just that, there are lots of dropped story threads and irrelevant storylines. But if you enjoy a heartier drama that gives a positive picture of family love and support, this one has lots to offer. The more mature lead couple shows us that love is possible at any stage in life, and that a worthy companion can bring healing and joy. I give “Crash Course in Romance” an 8 out of 10 ramen.
