"You crash landed into my world.."
STORY:
I gave this story a solid 10/10, and if I could, I'd rate it even higher. The plot, right from the moment I discovered CLOY, had me hooked. I loved the idea of North Korea and South Korea being brought into play, but even more so the passionate and developing love story between our two main leads, Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok. This story was unforgettable, addictive and at times, nail biting.
ACTING/CAST:
Need I say anything about this remarkable cast? Hyun Bin as the quiet yet charismatic army officer Ri Jeong-hyeok and Son Ye-jin as the beautiful and strong Yoon Se-ri made for some scorching hot chemistry. Their love for one another proved to be unbreakable over and over again. That aside, the one main thing I love about this drama is how they diverted from the normal trope that is rich man/poor woman, and made them both equal people struggling through their own past hardships. Son Ye Jin as the 'picky princess' was wonderful to see. She proved to be strong, intelligent and perceptive time and time again, but this was not without difficulty, as shown through the past she has had to endure. Similarly, Ri Jeong-hyeok, the charming army officer and son of a high ranking director, that everyone looks up to, also had his fair share of pain and loss. Both actors successfully portrayed the hardships and happiness of Jeong-hyeok and Se-ri throughout their time together.
OST:
The OST was just out of of this world, and utterly breathtaking! I particularly loved IU's 'Give You My Heart.'
REWATCH VALUE:
Yes, yes, yes! Oh, did I say yes?! I would 1000% rewatch this, just to see all of those loving looks that Jeong-hyeok gave Se-ri, just to see all of those wonderful, passion-filled kisses, just to see Hyun Bin pouting again! And of course, to see the way that despite the divide between their countries they still always managed to find their way back to one another, proving that no matter what, love conquers all.
OVERALL:
“If you give up on waiting, the pain of loss will kill you. That’s why I wait.” - Ri Jeong-hyeok. That quote is the exact description of how I felt about having to wait every week for a new episode! This was 2020's highlight and mine too, this will always hold a special place in my heart. I enjoyed this not just because of our two star-crossed lovers, but because of the people that surrounded them that bought comedy and warmth into their lives. Thank you to all that made this drama come to life, not just the writers or actors, but the people who watched it too. (:
