From business meeting to love journey
9 episodes in and I am in love with this show. I love how they have made a role reversal in the CEO-secretary trope. It's refreshing in a way. The power dynamic shift in the gender roles in this drama is such a vibe. I love that they've made the male lead an amazing single dad and such a green flag of a guy too. There's plenty of healthy relationships (not just romantic) that are portrayed in this drama and I love that. I hope the story continues to be told well. I have always loved Han Ji Min's dramas but Lee Jun Hyuk is definitely killing it in this one! He is the perfect romantic k-drama lead. Why has he not been in more romcoms? I can't believe that. I am in love with him.Was this review helpful to you?
A LOVE THAT TRANSCENDS BARRIERS!!
CRASH LANDING ON YOU is a pledge to love. It portrays love in all it's might and tenderness. The courage it takes for one to love another, and the braveness to continue on that path. Having one person who loves you, despite of everything, in spite of anything. The amount of power love holds and that it conquers everything.The main lead Ri Jeong Hyeok (Hyun Bin), I'm amazed by how cool, brave and handsome he is. This upright man protected the woman he love, bravely, with all he's got. He's stiff and at the same time soft. Hyun bin did an outstanding job embodying Jeong hyeok. His emotions were vivid, felt so real. I was immersed in his character, I smiled with him, cried with him and felt the emotions all along. His eyes convey alot of emotions without a word, when he's sad, the sadness envelops the whole atmosphere, likewise when he's happy and when he's deeply in love, I felt everything. amusing, impressive.
The female lead Yoon seri (Son Ye Ji) was equally amazing, cool and selfless. She's a strong and optimistic person, no matter how difficult a situation is, she tries to find a way, and believes there must be a way. She's cheering and endearing. And when they fell in love with each other, she loved him, and cherished his love and protected him to the best of her abilities. Yoon se ri is everything far from weak and knows nothing about being intimidated. The way she displays her emotions, the way she cries and talks were all worth applauding.
Yoon seri and Jeong Hyeok made a lovely couple. They showed how comforting and warm Love can be. They stood by each other and proved that having a person who loves you and loving that person even if you can't see each other is enough, more than enough. I fell in love with the magnitude of love they have for each other. Their love story is incredible, heartbreaking, heartrending, heart warming and wholesome.
I also love the second lead guy, although he's a bit of a bad guy, I fell in love with him, when I came to see how great of a person he is. And his unexpected romance with the female second lead was cool and how it ended was sad.
The soldier comrades were a big highlight of this drama. They were lovely, Loyal and funny. They added so much joy to my watch.
Also, the village women, they were annoying and all over the place at first, but later on became so lovable and their kind nature surfaced. And I came to appreciate the sisterhood and solidarity between them.
I can't forget to acknowledge Dan's Mom and Uncle, they were so dramatic and fun to watch, I love seeing them on my screen.
I also liked se ri's eldest brother and his wife, their relationship felt solid and real, their cute gestures were cool to look at, And I couldn't dislike them coz they were not harmful.
***Spoiler***
And definitely the biggest highlight of my watch has to be when Jeong Hyeok's dad saved him. I couldn't avoid crying, it was so heartwarming, so courageous, so lovable. They were so many cool scenes in this drama but nothing beats that to me. The way he appeared, and moved forward, used his power, his words, everything about that scene was incredible. And after all that when Jeong Hyeok apologized for causing trouble, he didn't scold him or get angry at him, he just said: “I'm just glad you are back, and you're alive, that is enough.” and even went ahead to ask how se ri is doing. Isn't he the coolest dad there is? I really loved that scene.
Overall, this is a thoughtfully written and perfectly executed drama. It was an amazing, pleasant and an incredible viewing experience.
