Crazy Waiting ({{ko-hhrm|기다리다 미쳐||Gidarida michyeo}}), also known as The Longest 24 Months or Going Crazy Waiting, is a 2008 South Korean film written and directed by Ryu Seung-jin.
Plot
In South Korea, all men in their early twenties have to serve two years of mandatory military service, and many young couples find themselves asking, "Do we stay together…or break up?" If they stay together, will their love survive the two-year separation? The movies look at four couples as they explore these questions and "go crazy while waiting" to be reunited with their lovers.{{cite web|last=Yang|first=Sung-jin|title=MOVIE REVIEW: 24 Months sheds light on conscription|url=http://www.hancinema.net/movie-review-24-months-sheds-light-on-conscription-11803.html|work=The Korea Herald via Hancinema|access-date=2013-05-01|date=20 December 2007}}{{cite web|last=Yoon|first=Susan|title=DVD Review: A look at the girls' side of gundae|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joinsmsn.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2889280|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130629143936/http://koreajoongangdaily.joinsmsn.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2889280|url-status=usurped|archive-date=June 29, 2013|work=Korea JoongAng Daily|access-date=2013-05-01|date=2 May 2008}}
Hyo-jeong is dating the much-younger Won-jae when he leaves for military service, and his visits home put a strain on her wallet. Bo-ram has a crush on bandmate Min-cheol, who ignores her in favor of Han-na. Jin-ah and Eun-seok are the perfect, cutesy couple, but telling his best friend to take care of her turns out to be Eun-seok's mistake. High school student Bi-ang's reaction to live-in boyfriend Heo Wook's departure is to go out and find a replacement - innocent college student Ho Sin.
