Pretty Crazy[4] (;[5] formerly titled 2 O'Clock Date ()) 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.[6] The film was released in South Korea on August 13, 2025.[7]

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.
