only down point is that the character cheolgang was just too annoying i didnt gaf about him omg he gets away with everything why does this guy always play corrupted characters ;_; other than that everything was just great but as for the scenes i skipped, blame it on my poor attention span. hyunbin & yejin's chemistry were undeniable they were both so great and charming i love themm :c!!!
overall this drama definitely was worth the hype and worth to be watched ! its fun , entertaining, heartbreaking, thrilling omg literally every emotion there is !

I don't know why, but my expectations weren't very high for this drama but wow it had me laughing, swooning, crying and anticipating what would happen next at the end of every episode. And MY GOODNESS I love all the characters (the good ones of course). The cast did an amazing job , they were really able to portray authentic friendships and love and emotions.
Do you know how sometimes at the end of a drama it leaves you wanting more? Leaves you questioning what happened to the characters? Not content with how it ended? Well, you don't have to worry about experiencing that with this one. Other dramas would have stopped like half way in terms of the plot but 'Crash Landing on You' continued the story and it didn't once feel dragging. (Although, I wasn't happy with what they decided to do for a certain character but it adds to the plot, so I'll let it slide.)
And the OST? AMAZING. It made the drama even more beautiful.
This drama was so good that I finished it in 3 DAYS! I don't think I've finished a drama that fast since 'Goblin' (another drama which I gave a 10/10 rating). I was actually supposed to do some really important things but I chose to put it aside to watch 'Crash Landing on You' and I don't regret it.
Oh and another thing, the cinematography was absolutely breathtaking, especially the scenes in Switzerland. It makes me want to visit that country in the future... maybe I will. Maybe this was why it was fate for me to watch this drama, so I would decide to go to Switzerland and something life changing will happen. Ok maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Anyway, I love this drama. I recommend you check it out even if it's not your style because apart from Romance, there's underlying themes of Family, Friendship, Mystery, Comedy, Drama and Politics. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
*Edit: I rewatched this kdrama with my mum months ago and I loved it even more so I'm changing the rewatch value from 7 to 10*

Hyun Bin as Officer Ri is Chefs Kiss !!!!
This is just an awesome Drama, it kind of gives me Descendants of the Sun and The King 2 Hearts vibes. The Acting is absolutely amazing there are a lot of good Action Scenes, Drama and a lot of Romance and the Cast is just perfect. I Love Big Boss from Descendants of the sun but Hyun Bin as Ri Jung Hyuk is just Chefs Kiss. He is an amazing Actor and I really cant wait to see more in the future. Maybe again with Son Ye Jin as a Couple cause their Chemistry is impressive. I really liked all the North Korean Soldiers and Se Ris Secretary and his Friend.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

For Hyun Bin
This is a very belated review. I watched it once it was aired and I have since rewatched it a few times. It was on my list because of Hyun Bin. When I knew that he was the male lead, I knew that I had to watch it and of course, I did!This drama has received tons of positive reviews and I want to add mine! Hyun Bin is an absolute delight to watch! The scene where he was being transformed into a Seoul man was drop dead gorgeous!! OMG!! So very hot and sexy.
This drama has funny elements, touching elements as well as intriguing moments, suspenseful moments! The cast was excellent but my highlight was and still is Hyun Bin.
Pls watch for this very fine actor. I loved him since Secret Garden. These two are, to me, his best best best dramas thus far and I look forward to more of his brilliant work.
Watch - for the love for Hyun Bin.

One of my favourite K dramas
This Kdrama was AMAZING!!!!!!! The story line was great and the chemistry between the two lead characters was great. And I loved the second love story on top of the main one. Even though if you have watched the show you know what happens to him . I also wished they kept Seung-joon because he had amazing character development. I also liked how realistic the show was than other k dramas I have watched in the past. The main characters can only see each other 2 weeks in a year. And I like that because it wasn't like Captain Ri magically escaped to South Korea and they lived happily ever after. Even though they do not get married at least they get to see each other and have a house together. But overall amazing story, the acting was great and the show had great shots as well. 10/10 recommend. And I would defiantly re-watch the show!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Uma série que marcou
"Pousando no amor" é literalmente o título indicado para aqueles que amam uma história de romance envolvida com muito suspense e momentos que aquecem o coração. Os atores são espetaculares, com a química incrível que faz o corpo explodir de endorfina. Fiquei diabética vendo essa série de tão doce que é o casal principal.A cinematografia é linda, apresentando diferentes lugares de uma forma que aumenta a dimensão da história vivida pelo casal.
Atores secundários também deram um show e, na minha perspectiva, podem até mesmo ser considerados como protagonistas. O enredo bem pensado, cativante e fofo.

The reason for this Drama love affair
UPDATE - just rewatched CLOY in honour of #JinBin. I forgot what a masterpiece this is. I watched it a year ago and it still had me on the edge of my seat, laughing out loud and sobbing my eyes out - the latter was embarrassing.While the story is a little unrealistic, just cast your skepticism aside and enjoy what is a brilliant TV show - of any genre.
All the characters illicit the correct response - be it love or hate (the villain is truly exceptional). This is a beautifully contained series and it will leave you joy in your heart and satisfied.
CLOY was the first KDrama that I watch all the way through and it made me fall in love with this genre.
If you are new to KDrama, then I encourage you to at start with Crash Landing on You. If you've never watched one before then like me, you might find the first episode a bit over the top. On top of that, the episodes are long - between 70-90 minutes each.
If you get past the first episode, what you'll get is the most wonderful story, incredible cinematography, brilliant acting and a glorious soundtrack.
Our leads are amazing and work so well together with amazing chemistry - they are a real couple now :)
The second leads are equally brilliant and a good antagnonist to our leads.
The supporting cast are equally lovable - the captains team as well as the housewives living in the North Korean village.
I know a lot of that life is somewhat glorified, but does touch on what life is liked for those with and without money.
Please give this a watch - you won't regret it.

The story had potential and was unique in it's way (which you obviously can read by reading the summary), I found that the producers/directors and writers repeated certain stories over and over again simply to fill in certain episodes to be at least 16 episodes long, while I wished the production went more in depth to their backstories and families surrounding them to really understand the trouble they've been through and understand the stories/anger of certain characters, which they kept vague and were forced to be guessed by us.
Concerning the actors, the cast was enjoyable and Hyun Bin was definitely one of the key holders in this drama, however I was not a fan of Son Ye Jin playing her role as Yoon Se Ri as everything was just too much in any form of emotion that it simply became ''fake''
The music was nothing to comment about it as it was good and enjoyable and I find the ''rewatch'' value always a difficult thing to judge as I never feel like I want to rewatch a series I have already watched, so I just stick to the note I gave for the series myself.

Tl;dr
Chemistry:off the fricken chart. Omg. And they don't tease us forever until the first kiss or "love you"s. Also loved how both main actors are not the super plastic surgeon molded twentysomethings but seem like normal (ok, not *normal* normal but super attractive) korean people.
Story/characters:
starts out great. NK is gloomy and everything looks rundown and sad. People are portrayed suffering hardships without complaining, the side characters are quirky and loveable, the real villains are EVIL, the rivals are just human too, everything has an honest humble feel to it. Made me google NK intensively and made me wanna punch Kimyongfuck's face even more. Ahhhhhh.
Anyway. Things start looking weird in the second half of this, when they are in South Korea. I mean, online gaming? Getting scolded? Way to destroy the tough ass military character with how dumb it all looks. Wasn't a fan of the kept house hubby. That was also the time the "relationship" seemed cooled off and strange. One would expect passion and desire, but no, we got fried chicken and child safety level browsing restrictions for him. Huh?
And don't get me started on plot holes. I mean, her brother basically confessed to hiring a killer and nobody cares? He walks free. Wut?
Music: cheesy, forgettable
Happy ending? 50/50. it's a cheat.
Rewatch? Nah, but liked the main couple a lot. Please do another drama, you two!

Great acting and story
I really enjoyed this drama even though I hadn’t expected it cause I thought the premise didn’t sound very realistic. The main leads do a great job of pulling you into the story, the chemistry they have with each other is mind-blowing! But other characters are great as well, you will defend get to love them all. The story is quite interesting, it drags a bit toward the end of the drama but the acting and overall production make it work. The ost is not very memorable but pleasant. I would definitely recommend this drama to all romance lovers!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Not as good as expected
WHAT I LIKED:- Seri : I liked her personality. An independent woman and entrepreneur who is able to distance herself from a crazy family but she is dragged back to them following unexpected events. I thought she was great as a south korean woman lost in NK and she has to establish connections with the villagers, with Captain Ri and his close soldier friends. She was funny doing it but also smiling, smart and open minded. Back in South Korea she acted a bit like a heiress trying any tactics to woo the man she likes to the point she sacrificed herself to save him.
- Ri Jung Hyuk : He as a good character. In the north : a good soldier, good leader of his men and someone with dedication and integrity but after meeting Seri he starts to do weird things and tries to save her and send her back to SK. In the South he was a bit too cold and focused on his mission and supervising his men. He should have enjoyed himself a little bit more like his men did and moreover, he should have decided to man up and do what a grown man would do with a grown up woman like Seri who was only waiting for that.
- Goo Seung Jun: I disliked him at first as a thug with no respect for his men but he slowly revealed an interesting backstory and a good side after meeting Seo Dan to the point he sacrificed himself to save her and redeem himself like that good thing he just met was too good for him. In his next life he met her again but cheated on her with an air stewardess. What an idiot.
- Seo Dan: Same here. Starting from a deluded obsessed fiancée, she revealed herself to be a girl who only craves for real love and she finds a man she can feel close to. Too bad it did not turn so well for them but I was glad she ended with full of hopes of good things to come.
- The bunch of soldiers who forms the squad of Captain Ri: All with funny personalities. They brought a lot of smile.
- The satirical tone used in depicting North Korea and South Korea in an unrealistic, fun and warm way.
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE:
- The romance between Seri and Jung Hyuk: I had the feeling that if the story itself is cute but the way it is depicted was too much. They tried to force the romance using repetitive musics, tools, flash backs... It made the romance romantic like a dreamed one and it is nice but I believe more practical and fun depiction when in Seoul would have been better.
- The main villain: In NK his motives are clear and his bad deeds are measurable and he ends up sentenced to jail. And then he is not a rational villain anymore as his only motivation is to harm Captain Ri by chasing Seri back in SK and hurt her. I thought that was a wrong character development as he became a weak and crazy illogical person.
MUSIC: OK
REWATCH: No. Not even some scenes. Many scenes look cute and romantic and others have good action but they look too disconnected or the ensemble form a drama not entertaining enough for me to rewatch it.
OVERALL: I enjoyed the drama like a patchwork of good things but overall and thinking back about it, I don't think it is a great drama or a great story you can keep in your memory or in the hard disk of your computer.
