Crash Landing on You (2019)

It was a beautiful story between Yoon Se Ri and Ri Hyuk and The actors performed beautifully

I saw almost all of their dramas and they were amazing ambitions and I wish them success


All episodes were beautiful but when i watched episode 15 and 16 I felt sad for Seo Ji Hye and Jung Hyun their acting was so beautiful I was hoping it would be a happy ending between Seo Dan and Seung Jun But I felt sad for them i hope to meet on another project will be better to them


It was a wonderful and nice story. I thank all the actors and actresses for their wonderful and amazing acting and I thank the director and screenwriter I hope that the upcoming projects will be more beautiful like that and more better.

The only thing I can say about this show is WOW. Just pure WOW. What a binge worthy show this whole show has been and what an amazing journey I took along this ride, honestly. It's probably the best 2019/2020 drama I've ever come across along with one of the best shows I've ever watched in the last 25 years of my life. Top 5 easily.

The chemistry between Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin was EVERYTHING and it literally just made the show how it is; SO SHOVE IT YOU NEGATIVE NETIZENS THAT WE'RE GIVING THIS SHOW HATE!!! It's just a show and if you take it out of context, you ruin it for everyone else. -_- But I'm glad this show has such a high rating because it's definitely worth it all.

This show is about a rich heiress that has a freak accident and ends up in North Korea which is a huge fight all on it's own. So you're taking this woman trying to escape but she's caught by the Army and now what do you do? She's from the South. OMG. But who would've know that when she was trying to figure out her life and how to survive; she was going to find love and love she definitely found. Along with great relationships; even though her family isn't the best, she made her own family with the rest of the guys and they made this show amazing as well.

The acting was amazing, from every single person. From the army, to the family, to our MAINS of course. The chemistry between every person was just settling, god even the friend and the brother. My heart.

The OST Amazing. Definitely worth the download and keeping on repeat.

I laughed, cried, smiled and spent my life attached to this show and it was absolutely everything to me; I would watch this show 10,000 more times if I could and I can so I will.

WATCH THIS.

Not bad, not at all, but it's super cheesy.

This one must be for the romantics of this world.
I will not talk about all the things that made absolutely no sense in here, plot holes and so on. I'll excuse it all because it's a kdrama.
So on the kdrama world alone, it's still super corny and cheesy. I can't even say that "it's too romantic" because that's not the expression I am looking for. The whole "we were always meant for each other" narrative gives me the creeps - especially because they used it so often, with so many unnecessary and very poorly filmed throwbacks - honestly it's not for me.

I thought this would be more political and historical. Since to this day, the "two" Koreas are still divided. They did explain a lot about North Korea, but it had such a lighthearted mood, most of the time, that somehow ended up not working for me.

Everyone's a great actor, so I have nothing to say about that. My high score is based entirely on the supporting characters. The only moments I felt more emotional was because of the friendship between all the officers and the lady's from North Korea, that were so pure and lovable.

If this kdrama was anything for me, was because of those amazing supporting characters plus the secondary couple. Their chemistry was much better than that of the main couple. I understand that they both played their part(s) well, so I am not pointing fingers, it's just that for me the other one was much more adorable and funny. If anything, the main characters made the necessary fillers, so that the secondary characters could shine on the screen afterwards.

About the last minutes of the kdrama... truly a work of art for the romantics of this world. So it's gonna be like that forever, this two-week system? Is that real life?! Absolutely not... but were the romantics happy with the "happy ending"? (it's a happy ending right?!). I guess they were.

North Korea sticks the landing but South Korea crashes this drama

Story: pretty SK heiress with mommy issues literally crash-lands in the arms of a very dashing NK Army captain. While the premise itself - a SK citizen finds herself illegally in the NK and in the hands of NK army no less - is dramatic enough, in an infamous drama tradition, this is complicated with several convoluted subplots to pad the mandatory 16 episode format, most of it with zero consequence to the main conflict. Still, ML and FL are as likable as it gets and have a nice rapport between each other and the winsome supporting cast of NK soldiers and ahjummas who are the main reason why NK proceedings outshine the SK ones.

Acting: Very good. Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin carry this drama like pros but Captain Ri's Fab 5 (4 soldiers and a spy) and NK ahjummas steal the scenes. Didn't care for Se Ri's family and Captain Ri's unnecessary, stony fiance aka SFL but the unnecessary SML won me over as his character got more charming and likable as his (side) story progressed. No wonder Kim Jung-hyun scored a ML role in Mr Queen.

Music: Nice and hummable. I also liked that they incorporated it in the plot for captain Ri is a pianist who also composed the main theme.

Rewatch Value: Yes but with lots of skips. There are moments of immense beauty that deserve to be revisited SPOILERS the scented candle scene at the market, first snow, farewell at the no man's land, any piano play in Switzerland scene, just to name a few SPOILERS END but episodes got longer and longer and filler content bigger and bigger and the less said about product placement terror of Subway and that friend chicken restaurant the better.

Overall: See what the hype is about cause there's a lot to love. However, NK portion is much stronger, for bringing the conflict from that side of the story to SK didn't work and there are just too many side plots SPOILERS Ri brother's murder, Ri's fiance, Se Ri's scheming siblings, SML's involvement with mafia, Se Ri's mommy issues SPOILERS END that could have been scrapped altogether. Being stuck as an illegal in NK is dramatic enough and didn't need banality to make it more dramatic. However, those grievances aside, the ending sticks the landing and gives many earned closures which has become increasingly rare in dramaland.

Best part was the meeting with Choi Jiwoo

It's a good story, but it was also pretty cliche. I would recommend this if you're looking for a very mushy fluffy drama. There were many cute scenes between the main actors, and the writers seemed to place in enough conflict that the characters could overcome. There's the typical love triangle, and the many coincidences that make the main actor's love seem like fate. In my opinion, the comedy cut too much into the drama, so that when it was supposed to be serious, it felt out of place.

This feels like a typical asian drama that starts off strong and then fizzles out in the end, which becomes very predictable. The plot itself was straightforward without too many twists and bends - the villains were villains, and the good guys were good guys. I wish the writers brought in more emotional conflict between the two main characters to add some depth rather than just showing closeups of the main couple staring at each other. The family relationship is the most emotionally aggravating, and Bang Eunjin did an especially good job showing the pain and conflict she was facing after Seri's supposed hate for her.

In the end, if you're looking for a fluffy cute drama with a simple story and fate-like coincidences that make the main couple made for each other, then this is a great choice.

Pretty much everyone was watching it when it aired, but I was quite worried that I might disappoint myself if I have too high expectations. Nope, that didn't happen. I loved it so much that I had to binge watch this in only 3 days.
The storyline itself is quite complicated in subject matter, but they handled it very well. The characters were well developed, and every moments, even the small events were precious to me. The chemistry between the main couple was definitely no joke. The only thing I'm subtly sad about is that person who goes far far away that they can't return (spoiler but didn't name it lol). Still, in my heart, they have a happy ending too, that they met and live happily ever after.

P.S 1: Ri Jung Hyuk set my expectation from man unreasonably high
P.S 2: I hope for reunification real soon.

Well I did, because anything below than that doesn't seem to add up. I was never a fan of an ongoing drama but I had to watch it ongoing with this one. I personally don't like the forbidden tag of this show, so it was not initially on my list. But Netflix was pushing me, so I gave it a try and boom I was... how can the first episode hook me this much? To be honest, that never happened. It's a whole romantic comedy full of joy and warmth. Even the villain was somewhat charismatic to me. So basically everything was perfect except that somehow from episode 10-16, Seri seemed to lose her comedic character a little bit. Maybe it was intentional as to show her charisma as a business leader but I kinda hoped that she would have been comedically jovial throughout. Anyway, all the supporting casts, as you probably know, is perfect. After all, it was very well-written, nothing was rushed, the ending was fair enough (because we cant just hope for a sudden reunification, can we?). SO, WATCH!

An absolute delight from start to finish

This is my all time favourite k-drama. The entire cast are absolutely brilliant. The chemistry between the leads is sizzling. Both are superb actors and together they make a very beautiful couple. The quirky support characters are an utter delight. There are some very funny scenes with the soldiers and townspeople as well as the main couple. The interactions between one another make this drama a cut above the rest. It mixes the light-hearted with deeply moving moments very well indeed.

I loved every minute and highly recommend this series.

It is a series that I have and will rewatch and would never grow tired of.

I think CLOY caught all of our interests when the trailer first aired. A South Korean Woman, Yoon Se Ri (Son Ye Jin), lands in North Korea after a paragliding accident and develops a relationship with a North Korean soldier, Ri Jung Hyuk (Hyun Bin), who takes care of her. Two extraordinary actors with a record of great chemistry and they delivered. The story follows their two very different backgrounds and the challenges they face as they develop feelings for each other (vague, but I don't want to spoil anything).

The writing and plot were captivating. I'm not going to lie and say the writing was groundbreaking and the story was the best ever created, but it was a unique story that mixed in romance and comedy seamlessly well. Overall, the plot also flowed very well and pacing felt super smooth and unrushed from the first episode to the last episode. There are the expected cliche romcom scenes sprinkled throughout the drama, and the plot twists can be predictable at times, but CLOY executes them all so well, regardless. Some lines were really memorable and stuck with me- There was a specific internal monologue scene where the writing, directing and OST was so perfect, I was struck in awe. This drama really isn't about surprising you with a jaw-dropping plot twist, but more about just enjoying the relationship between the characters and all of the action. Speaking of action, the fight scenes in this drama...fell short. They were exciting, but from the camera angles, you can see clear misses which was pretty funny because people just dropped. On the upside, comedy was always on-point. Specifically, the North Korea Soldiers were super fun to watch and they stole every scene they were in. Really loved all the comedic scenes and they were a great respite from the heavy, emotional scenes.

Acting:  For the most part, I enjoyed the acting. Chemistry between the main and side couples were off the charts and I enjoyed both of them equally. However, there were also times when the acting fell short for me. Sometimes I felt that exchanges between the main couple were a little too awkward and Son Ye-Jin (who did a fantastic job) couldn't bring out the emotion on her end so it just felt forced, which prevented me from connecting with her. However, I really liked Seo Ji Hye's acting for her character Seo Dan- a cold and serious, but secretly emotional character played amazingly well- the last episodes really brought out her acting ability. On a side note, I did enjoy all the side characters. Looking into the North Korean world and how the director portrayed the behavior of the North Koreans was incredibly entertaining and unique.

Music/Soundtrack:  Stacked and magnificent. Reminds me of how stacked Hotel Del Luna was. 10 CM, Yoon Mi Rae, Davichi, Baek Ye RIn, Sejeong, Crush, IU, etc. all with incredible songs. It's been a while since I've genuinely enjoyed every OST song from a Kdrama. My favorites were: Sejeong - All My Days, probably the most beautiful OST I have ever heard watching Kdrama; IU - I Give You My Heart, after 9 years the queen of korean music has released another official OST and it does not disappoint- another breathtaking song. Even the soft piano music and instrumentals in the background of scenes were perfectly fitting, drawing out the emotions behind the characters. All the songs work so perfectly with the drama, it's almost eerie.

This drama wasn't perfect, but I still enjoyed the heck out of it which really allows me to look past the flaws. I would recommend this drama to anyone looking for something new and refreshing but familiar. Even if you don't typically watch romcoms, give this drama a try- I think you'll enjoy it.

I cannot believe this drama is so hyped

Sometimes there are beloved dramas that do nothing for me, but I can understand why they’re so famous. For example I dropped Goblin for a number of reasons, but I can see why it’s considered a classic.
But this? This drama is so ordinary! The story is ordinary! The romance is ordinary! I never managed to feel anything for our romantic pairing. Hyun Bin frankly plays a character that might as well be named Captain Cardboard. He’s just total wish fulfillment and inconsistently written depending on what the writer needs. The same goes for Se-ri. Together they managed to never feel like they were anything besides friends. When they gave each other rings it just felt awkward. And yes part of that is the lack of skinship and the poor quality of what little skinship they have.

There was one point when there was a serious scene involving the villain where I actually said “wow this show is ridiculous”. Lots of dramas are ridiculous at times, but they’re more fun than this. Even fast-forwarding through the episodes wasn’t enough to keep me from giving up on it in the end.

Do you feel kdramas have been below your expectations recently, like they have been boring or are trying too hard to bring up innovative stories and leaving out the cliches we really love, if you love romance-comedy or action romance. If you are Looking for a weIl made drama (cinematography, music,plot,suspense,directing), if you like watching good looking actors/actresses with chemistry above the roof, if you like a boss strong female lead (tired of the damsel in distress syndrome), WATCH THIS!!!!!!!!! binged watch this drama in 16 hours lol and I didn’t get a bored. This drama has filled a void that Korean dramas have left open since “healer” (IMO). Like they tried but they just could not get the action-comedy-romance combined right! And the storyline is so fresh (reminds me of “kings to heart” and “descendants of the sun”) but it gives very different vibes and it’s very comedic. You are either smiling ear to ear, laughing out loud or crying (like real tears). All of the characters are very lovable (except the major villain and se ri’s second brother and his wife). This drama also spiked up my curiosity about North Korea a lot. I loved the little village and their togetherness so cute! They had me praying for unification so they could enjoy some South Korean stuffs without leaving their home that they love. My favorite character is Se Ri (she reminds me a lot of the FL from graceful family. But way cuter and pure comedic) in other words she is a clown. Most of the things she did were so relatable like trying to rebuff when someone downplays her looks or anything. She has all of us and the male lead thinking she was bipolar lol but I cannot think of any other person that would have played this role this well (without being cringe) . My next favourite is Ri jung he is like a very smart puppy who happens to be a captain lol. I was so happy they were both smart. There were no unnecessary kidnapping, meeting anyone alone, falling into enemies traps because of DUMBNESS(God bless the writers for this because I really be wanting to punch my screen in some dramas). I also noticed all the moms in this drama were amaze balls ( even though seo dan’s mum was over the top) they all wanted to support their kids no matter what. Finally the soldier team was really comedic relief (especially when they went to the south) lol. But their relationship was gold and I cried at their separation. ...... please watch this drama.... you are in for a ride......... From a kdrama fan who veered off to the Chinese drama world because kdramas got boring to me... nice to see they are back!
