Crash Landing on You
- I like how every soldier had their own personality.- Comedic scenes.
- Different from other K-Dramas.
- Music was memorable. (kind of)
- I like the attention to detail in scenes where they remove stuff that North Korea doesn't have.
- They educate viewers on what living in North Korea is really like.
- I wish there were less romantic scenes. (I wasn't too invested in the romance aspect.)

One of the best drama!
Crash Landing On You is a Korean drama about a rich lady from South Korea who reaches North Korea accidently, and there she meets North Korean officer who sends her back, and story continues even after her returning back to her home country.This drama is full of twists and turns and never leaves a dull moment for you.
We as viewer go through all the feelings of happiness, disappointment, joy, sadness, relief and so on. This drama keeps its viewer connected and viewer gets involved in the story so easily and effortlessly.
All main characters, side characters all performed very well and they suit best in their respective roles.
Main actor-actress, side actor-actress all are pretty.
All main 5 comrades acted very well, main villain was very good in his role.
Every one's role was well written and well presented. All performance are commendable.
The story, screen play, direction, editing, camera moments are very well executed.
Background music and background songs are very melodious.
This is a must watch drama.
If you like romcom, or trilling, adventurous, military background story, it has it all.
I really loved the portray of love between main characters.
It was shown in a classic way, they cared so much about each-other. It was touching.
This series can be watched on Netflix. It is dubbed in Japanese, Hindi, English, and some other languages. So pick up your language and watch it.
Hindi language dubbing is done well.
I highly recommend this drama to everyone.
You will enjoy it, I am sure.

Seo Dan and Gu Seung-Jun were redeemable too, although I truly think Seo Dan got the shortest end of the stick out of everyone. My only qualm in general was that ending — after all their trials and tribulations, it simply was NOT enough!! I suppose it was realistic though, so I can't dock any points for it.
I laughed, cried, and loved it all. This was one of those stories that I blasted through, only to slow down dramatically at the end in hopes of being able to prolong it just a bit more. What a lovely tale. This series has definitely opened my heart up for a whole new WORLD of entertainment.

When I saw the title, "Crash Landing On You", I was like, this HAS to be a rom-com. With a rom-com title like that, I set my expectations to every rom-com kdrama I have ever watched, and this didn't disappoint! I also thought, hey, is this a rom-com about a pilot and an air-stewardess, and don't worry it's not. (ahem) What caught my eye at first glance was the main leads! Son Ye Jin, and Hyun Bin. Omg, a match made in heaven! Age, looks, gentle looking yet strong personalities, great actors, this can only go well. (And it did!)If you came here for Rom-Com, this drama delivered! Yes a crash landing occurs, but that's not the important point, it's that - girl meets guy. Girl: a rich CEO of a beauty company; South Korean, meets Guy: a (secretly) rich and powerful son of military leader; North Korean. So through a probably (unbelieveable) fortunate or unfortunate accident, she lands right into the arms of this handsome, stoic guy, with a tragic past...This is your usual rom-com genre, but here with a twist...it's in North Korea.
Now I watched this for fun, and you shouldn't take this TOO seriously, I mean, North Korea? Although their love story goes through many ridiculous events, hold your disbelief, and just enjoy it. Look, I get that the producers tried their best to keep the setting to look realistic, it honestly did, but the stakes just didn't make it real enough. The village she gets lost in, where, very conveniently, Hyun Bin lives in, becomes a cute little place where our leads learn to trust each other and for whatever reason, the fear of being in North Korea never feels realistic there, since Hyun Bin with his muscled up physique is there with (us) and its Hyun Bin, who aces at playing the guy who always has it in control...not that Son Ye Jin plays a damsel in distress quite completely. No, we have a girl who although strong, is out of her depth in North Korea. Although the cinematography is beautiful and most of the time, it looks like they had a love story out in the countryside, it really did not make any sense of how dangerous it truly would have been in North Korea, nor did the story allow it to be. Here, we only really interact with the elites, who, with their connections, guns and money make her situation quite non-dynamic.
Nevertheless, there are some gun shots, some side stories with Seo Dan and her love story. I do love the four other soldiers antics, and the villager ladies as well, however they did not get much to do other than marvel at every South Korea with wide eyes, and we can appreciate all of the Hallyu stuff is, the main story is the love story, which has no complains here. It's beautiful, you can see how he slowly falls in love with her, how pure-hearted they both are, and similar values they have..and they are one heck of a good-looking couple, and the chemistry IS there, however a little too PG in here to go to an 8 for story. It's completely unbelievable that in their age, this is all it ends up to. But I digress. I didn't quite believe Seo Dan chemistry with the other lead, though I love the idea of their relationship. I skipped any parts to do with Son Ye Jin's nasty rich family, because, it was so tropey, I could have predicted all their lines in my head, and you get the gist - they suck. However a strength of this drama is how they manuever with Rom -Com tropes- it's there, but they call it out and make fun of some, to cut of the cringe before it can set in, and it is peppered throughout WITH caution, so don't worry too much.
This drama main strengths are its main love story, its cautious writing, its cinematography and its MUSIC. By God, the music is beautiful, and everything I love about folk or if you love IU, so that's why I gave an 8 overall. CLOY is easy-going, it won't waste episodes, you get what you are expecting, and you get Hyun Bin looking his very best (just watch this for his hair, and a guy in a uniform haha) and Son Ye Jin getting the perfect boyfriend you'd ever wished for.

It did start of good and unique, I loved all the parts in North korea ones but did get slightly bored at the other half. The only part which I disliked the most was overusing the " I have met you before its fate" type of gliche. I would have been more happy if they just randomly met as total strangers with no gliche parts which they made A LOT. I started liking the second leads more, they felt more realistic with the way it went but also dissappointing for how it ended especially for our second lead girl who did not deserve such fate. Story is unique but romance very gliche but a lot of the characters were fun to watch. If you don't mind how unrealistic it can be and just focus on the symbolism side its not so bad. What wasn't gliche was mainly about second lead not going into full asshole mode like it is in most dramas whenever there is love rivalry going on. So that part was refreshing and Dan did end up becoming my favourite in this show and then her quirky mother. The rewatch value for me is never high but id probably rewatch it after a couple of years has passed. It did have a lot of funny scenes which I enjoyed a lot and knowing more about North Korea especially when the train stops scene which was one of my favourites.

He de decir que la historia al principio pensé que no me iba a gustar pero bueno todos nos equivocamos y acabé totalmente prendada de la historia y sus personajes, he reido y llorado con ellos y ciertas ocurrencias de otros. Aparte me gusta que en cierto modo tiene su parte de acción, pues muchas veces algunas historias son tan lineales (que eso no quita de que sean bonitas).
¡Ah! Y aparte la OST super bonita, sobretodo la canción de IU.
Este titulo yo lo recomiendo totalmente.♥

A Piece of Art.
This drama is truly a piece of art. And I really mean it. I still can't get over it. For me writing this review is like trying to express my inexpressible love for this drama. I'll try my best:I already saw this drama on Netflix last year, but I couldn't get myself to watch it, partly because back then I wasn't that much into korean yet, partly because it was hyped so much. Often that can scare you or get annoying, but let me tell you one thing: THIS drama deserves the hype, the high ratings and the love. It's really worth it.
Story: When I read a summary of the plot, I got interested in the story, it just seemed so creative and new for me. I got hooked in the first episode, the plot really was creative. I stayed hooked until the very last scene. So at this point, probs to the writers, you really know how to write a creative, interesting and hooking story.
The story had everything: A heartwarming, cute and mature romance, beautiful friendships and characters, some really nice action parts, but also scenes to laugh at and scenes to cry your soul out. In conclusion: The story had everything you might wish for. The story for me was just perfect. It was well-written and unique. I heard a lot of people say that they had wished for another ending, but for me the ending was the most beautiful and aesthetic ending I've ever seen in my whole drama-watching career:) Also I had NOT expected it to come that way, so it was even better that I couldn't predict it. Also the story hit me right in the feels, I cried a lot of times and it is one of the few dramas that you can actually feel with all your heart!
Characters: I really fell in love with almost every character! Of course there were some I couldn't stand, but that was okay. My favorite characters were of course Yoon Se Ri and Ri Jeong Hyeok! But I also loved the Soldier squad! They were so cool and always made me laugh:) I especially liked the youngest one and the one who loved K-dramas^^ Every character had his very own story and it was interesting to see where they all go. Also the inhabitants in the military village, they were just iconic! I really loved the vibes there.
Acting/cast: The cast couldn't have been better! It was sooo well-chosen, you really believed that the cast was living their roles. The acting was on point, I had no single moment where I thought: Ugh that didn't seem realistic. That happened not a single time! The cast is very talented, I could feel the chemistry between the ML (Hyun Bin) and the FL (Son Ye Jin). It was so strong that I really believed they were in love! THAT is good acting:D Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin were just born for their roles!^^
Cinematography/scenery: Okay I just had to add this point, mainly because I fell in love with the sceneries! Especially the one in Switzerland, Sigriswil. Oh my god was it beautiful! It was the perfect place to film the story where everything began. I want to thank the producers for making CLOY so aesthetic and authentic and pure how it is. Also every place seemed so real that I truly believed it's how it looks like in North Korea, even though it was filmed in Mongolia.
Music: The music was very special to me. I fell in love with every song, even if it just played as background music. I think the piano piece "The song for my brother" is the most special to me. Of course the music was again very well-chosen and fit perfectly in every scene. I just love the album with the OST. So beautiful, I can't even describe it in words!
So, I hope my review helped someone out in the decision whether to watch or not! ;D For me this drama is a 10/10! It's my favorite drama so far and I guess it will stay in my top-ten list for a really long time. If you're still unsure then please just watch the first episode! This drama will draw you in immediately and you will be hooked! Get yourself a cup of tea and a blanket and start watching!!! You won't regret it :)

Reminisce with a warm and engaging family environment :)
A beautiful drama with a complete package that leaves a deep impression. This is the best modern Kdrama for me since it contains multiple genres which makes it a roller coaster ride. This drama is so realistic, I could not even stop thinking about every single scene when I come back to my daily life. Amazing CHEMISTRY between all of the actors not only the lead, though the lead is indeed the best one. I never skip the scene, it has an awesome STORYLINE, realistic script, unpredictable plot. Rom-com drama that makes me cry a lot. I never get bored re-watch again and again. All of the OSTs are extremely great. This is really MUST WATCH! :)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

LOVED IT!
Likes: Hyun Bin in uniform...need I say more?Dislikes: Yeah...you're going to have to throw logic out the window.
If you like a good forbidden love story with sparks flying, then do yourself a favor and watch this drama. This was a CRACK drama for me...completely addicting and left me in pieces until I could get more. The chemistry was sooo good! Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are a match made in heaven and I really couldn't get enough!
I loved that the story had some action and danger mixed in with the humor, flirtiness, and longing. I have to admit, at first I didn't quite like SYJ's bratty character, but it didn't take long for me to warm up to her and find her comical. As for Hyun Bin, I'm biased, but I think it'll be hard not to fall for his charming innocence, protective instincts, and humorous reactions.
If you can turn a blind eye to some of the logistics to the story, then I think you'll be in for a very fun time.

I am curious if I am the only one that laughs where there is someone almost dying or that got shot and the viewers are supposed to be worried about them dying. I laugh so hard that I yell...."Die, die, die, die" because I know they will not. This is a great show and I give it almost a perfect score: as an American that watches tons of K-Dramas, this is one it wonderful. Yet still predictable when it comes to people almost about to die. I laugh and laugh and laugh because we know they are not it any danger; this show messed up on the ratio of drama to death. Because we knew the primary characters were not going to die.

The first part of the drama was amazing. Sure, the first episode was a bit of a mess, as they were trying to fit in every back story in order to lead us to the big even of the female lead getting into North Korea by accident. And while we're at it, I would have liked if they had given a more in depth presentation of the main character's background and her relationship with her family, as the latter was a big part of her life and personality and a lot of twists were based on that rocky relationship.
That said, the part where the leading lady was living in North Korea was really good. I don't know if the presentation of the country was accurate, but the one they gave us worked for the story. The romance had also a nice pace and it had enough intense and lovable moments. Yes, some of them were cheesy, but they were enjoyable. The side characters were adorable and they added a comedy element to the plot. The male lead had some funny aspects as well.
Now, for the second part, it wasn't as good as the first part, but it was enjoyable. It had enough action and thriller to keep things interesting, and the side characters were simply pure entertainment. The second couple had some time to shine during the second part too, however, their ending was really disappointing, as it was rushed and not properly done.
Finally, the settings and costumes were pretty good and the soundtrack perfect. The performances were really good from all the actors and actresses (this one was actually the only drama other than secret garden where I enjoyed the male lead, hopefully it won't be the last).
So, overall, eight out of ten.

Even if genre stated that it's a comedy I didn't kinda expect it due to the story type (north-south) but it was a comedy :) If I watched this show before I watched too many dramas I would have loved it. But now I can't help but find faults(?) get bored/tired(?).
Shorter review is at the end.
Story:
Love between a person from South and North Koreas. Well there are dramas like this out there, uniqueness came from how they met - "crashlanded" into another country. That was impressive. I loved the start. It was very interesting I was looking forward to it and was uneasy like why do they show side characters so much, while I wanted to look at the main couple. I was also uneasy because of the whole comedy. the situation was extremely dangerous and crazy but it was shown in the drama as light and comedic. I wasn't expecting that so I was taken by surprise but I grew to appreciate that part and that comedic part was what kept me here. In the second half of the drama which i thought i will enjoy more, my attention turned toward all the side characters and I lost interest in the main couple who kept crying, hurting, injuring, crying etc. I do understand those feelings and I cried too while looking at them but only because i'm oversensitive and tend to imagine myself in their shoes. Should I say the story got unrealistic? Well it wasn't realistic from the start but I think the word realistic has two meanings if not more. Realistic like in real world (dramas like Misaend, Black Dog) and realistic like logical(?). I am already used to dramaland unrealistic parts when they hear someone's conversation when they are like super far away, and don't notice someone coming in or hear someone talk when they are beside them only for convenience. Yeah that might be needed for the story. But still at least NIS can't be THAT nice and kind. Well I did go with the unrealistic-ness okay from the moment I accepted this drama as purely a romantic comedy and not a thriller.
the ending was ok. I can see that because of some political issues they couldn't do a different ending. So this ending was like very expected ending from the very start. I like happy endings and well yeah they can't do a happy ending for everyone because they need to keep the "impact" "emotions"...
I loved the references to Memories of Alhambra and Stairway to Heaven.
Characters/Acting:
Oh characters here were amazing! Especially side characters. At first I didn't want to waste my time watching them and not the main couple, but in the end by showing them so much, I grew fond of them more than the main leads. They were great <3 <3 <3 Lee Jeong Hyuks squad was extremely amazing, north ahjummas were really funny and nice, Se Ri's employees were also very nice and cute. Of course acting was top-notched. I like Hyun Bin from Robin from Hyde Jekyll and I.
Other thoughts:
I really don't understand why were they sued because of too nice North Koreans shown in a drama. I have to contradict myself saying that this is just a drama it doesn't have to be realistic xD on the other hand. That part actually might be realistic because it's not like every single person in a country is good or bad. There are all kinds of people everywhere.
Conclusion:
This is a nice drama to watch so i recommend this to anyone who loves romcoms. Those that have seen many dramas and are kinda tired of romcoms might not find this very good though. My rating is high because of the side characters and the comedy. It was funny, otherwise I almost dropped it. But I am happy I finished it :)
Shorter Review:
What I Liked:
-Lee Jeong Hyuk's squad, Pyo Chi Soo (a north korean girl told his accent is the best out of all xD)
- north ahjummas
-north parents
-north accent
-showing us north's lives.
-side couple
-se-ri's elder brother's wife (the stupid one) funny
- Ri Jyoung Hyuk himself.
-Se-Ri's character
-His messages at the end
-Alhambra and Stairway references <3
-Too Kind NIS
What I didn't like:
-second part of the drama
-crying
-injuring
-dying living dying living
-too kind NIS ( i wrote this in like because i liked them but they were like extremely kind and understanding O_O, either all the other dramas out there are depicting the police, prosection, NIS as too corrupt, or this drama showed them too nice, no idea which one is true for now this one appeared to me unrealistic lol xD)
- My rewatch value is almost always 0 because i don't rewatch dramas.
