South meets North
I really liked this drama and the interaction of the characters. Especially between captain Ri/Yoon Se-ri and his "boys". I was really curios how the differences and the seperation of north and south would be represented. And the shown prejudices were refreshing. Of course I am aware that it is not 100% accurate since it is a fictional story and not a documentation. I liked all the charakters and started rooting for the second couple. After all it was funny, exciting and in my opinion well made.Was this review helpful to you?

Crash Landing on You is an amazing drama that blends a love story with real-world issues, such as conflicts between countries. The plot is intense, showing how love can overcome political and cultural barriers. The way the characters face such huge challenges yet still fight for what they believe in makes the story even more touching.Was this review helpful to you?

I don't get the hype
I just don't get the hype. The ML and FL act like teenagers when they're pushing 40 (not charming, no chemistry)... they can't even look one another in the eyes after a normal display of affection.The way the ML is risking his life here is insane. Their tangled web of lies only gets more complex and it's stressful to watch it all go down. They are reckless!
I also hate the back and forth, like she's gonna leave for real this time... sike!!! The plot doesn't hold up if you think about it critically even a little and it's just a bit boring. Sorry, I don't mean to be a total hater, I like all the actors and they do well in their respective roles, but I don't see how people rate this a 9 or 10 out of 10 consistently.

Quite a unique plot for a love story. It is funny and profound. The characters are lovable. Great acting all around.
It made me curious on how people actually live in North Korea.
There is a sense of simplicity and order in the North compared to Seri's life in South Korea. Seri was a breath of fresh air to the people she encountered. She was the odd one that definitely stood out.
So looking forward to what happens next.....
Love it!

After watching from the first episode, I am addicted with this storyline. Based on my previous experience from watching the two other dramas that Ms. Park Ji-eun had written, both "my love from another star" and "legend of blue sea" contained similar storyline which was "fate" bring the main actors and actresses together. The main actors and actresses in the above dramas did not just meet each other coincidently and fell in love yet, they were meant to be through many lives. Turning to our CLOY drama, fate also brings Ri Jeong Hyeok and Yoon Se-ri together as from their first coincidence in Switzerland to DPRK and continue to South Korea. If Se-ri did not plan to commit suicide on the bridge in Switzerland, she did not get a chance to meet our Captain Ri. Moreover, if she did not go paragliding, she could not have a chance to meet and get to know Ri Jeong Hyeok again in DPRK too. Everything in this drama was meant to be accordingly and little by little, both of them started to realize about it.
From my perspective, I believe that CLOY's ending will be similar to "my love from another star" and "legend of blue sea" since the three were written by the same person and the storylines matched. I am guessing that Ri Jeong Hyeok and Yoon Se-ri will live happily together in S.Korea like what Ri Jeong Hyeok's wishes in episode 12.
I am looking forward to the final episode.

It got me hooked from the very beginning. The cast, the OST, the plot and even the cinematography are perfect. I personally enjoyed watching the side characters too! Some of them are funny and relatable in a lot of ways. The relationship of everyone involved seemed very real too, not shallow. I was able to get to know the characters well as we watch.
This drama just sets the standard so high - can't wait to watch more dramas like this in the future! AMAZING! I love it so much!
btw I never write reviews here, but I did just for this drama hahaha

THE BEAUTY OF THIS DRAMA ( SPOILER FREE )
If you genuinely love someone , you can change yourself according to that person's needs and wantsexamples-
1-Ri jeong hyeok-man with principles , duty bound , country lover , son of military chief however when the fly of love bite he went soft on her
2-second male and female lead- they both killed in terms of acting more than he leads I wanted them to be together , initially you will hate both of them but the character development and the versatility in their acting nailed it , people fall love with them , their screen presence , timing , dialogue delivery everything was perfect

The visual of Switzerland is awesome, just think I was almost in that country. The visuals, the music scores, the costumes (of course Hyun Bin looks great in anything he wears even that dang sparkled sweatsuit), always the team of a KDrama makes it all the better. The storyline, I loved it. Thank You for making me laugh, cry, and not one time did I curse anyone out. lol If you don't know, you will know if you see it... you must see this!
What happened to the marriage?????????? oh well, I still rated it a 10!

Cheesy, cliché and what not? But you can't escape the charm!
This is perhaps one of the dramas, I will never bring my critic out. If I do, then I will have to give 0 ratings. When it comes to Korean drama, I let my guard down in critiquing, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to watch anything.But this is a masterpiece of typical Korean rom-com, yet feels different and it has all the perfect ingredients of a successful content, both in popularity and money wise.
This is the only K-drama, I have already watched it 3 times, whenever I have nothing else to watch. From acting to story, and to music and stills, it will keep you entertained and not a single moment, you feel boring.
I am big fan of main leads, I have watched them before this drama, and they are one of Koreas greatest actors of their generation. Hyu Bin and Son Yejin, have done some projects that proves their acting ability beyond perfection. son Ye-Jin is close to 40, and she looks in her early 30s. Her dramas and films, are just out of class, watch all of em.

Yesterday I have finished this drama and I must say I cried a lot. This drama managed to do a great job in building up a plot storyline. When I first read about this on Netflix, I put it in my watchlist and actually forgot about it. But after some time I decided that I wanted to watch it. The plotline was very interesting because I have never watched anything about a love (forbidden) love story between a North Korean and South Korean. The drama took me on a rollercoast full of emotions of the ML and I really felt as if it happened for real (ofcourse it could never, as if there are could never happen something like "accidentally crashing" in North Korea).
Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin did an amazing job, they had really good chemistry and were made for this role. I just cannot stop thinking about their (on screen) chemistry and about the tears they created for me hahaha. I just loved it!!!!!
As of the SL they were amazing, they were really supportive to the ML, the actors did a great job.
I think this drama gave a good overview of how the people in South Korea think about North Korean people and about their living habits etc etc.
Overall this drama is in one word amazing. I definitely recommend this to all of you, it will give you a fresh view of the typically standard dramas nowadays.
