Pretty Crazy (Korean: 악마가 이사왔다; formerly titled 2 O'Clock Date (Korean: 2시의 데이트; RR: 2siui deiteu)) is a 2025 South Korean romantic comedy film directed by Lee Sang-geun, starring Lim Yoona and Ahn Bo-hyun. It tells the story of a woman from downstairs having an unimaginable secret, meeting the man from upstairs at 2 a.m., and having an extraordinary date, when everyone else in the building is asleep. The film was released in South Korea on August 13, 2025.

Synopsis

After quitting his job, Gil-goo, a young and unemployed man who has been living a dull life at home, instantly falls for Seon-ji, the woman who moves into the apartment downstairs. But the next morning, he encounters a bizarre-looking version of Seon-ji in the elevator, leaving him shocked and confused between the sweet Seon-ji and the creepy one.

From that day on, driven by a mix of curiosity and fear about Seon-ji's true identity, Gil-goo starts lingering around her. Eventually, her father, Jang-soo, reveals the family's secret. Seon-ji is gentle and ordinary by day, but in the early hours, a demon awakens within her, turning her into a completely different person. Jang-soo offers Gil-goo a tough part-time job as Seon-ji's guardian during this time.

[The last film to be released, "The Devil Has Moved In," is a demon-possessed comedy film that tells the story of Gil-gu (Ahn Bo-hyun), an unemployed young man who takes on an unusual part-time job of spying on Seon-ji (Lim Yoona), who wakes up every morning as a demon, and whose soul is ripped out. Starring Im Yoon-ah and Ahn Bo-hyun, the film is the latest work from director Lee Sang-geun, who led the 2019 box office hit "Exit" to 9 million viewers. It is attracting attention as it marks the second collaboration between director Lee Sang-geun and Im Yoon-ah, along with the production company Oeyu Naegang, which led the success of "Exit." With a production budget of approximately 6.9 billion won, it is the smallest of the three films.]{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: deprecated archival service (link)
