Could be longer
Really liked the Actors. Especially Gege, his smile is attractive.The Acting was really good.
The slight NF scenes were good just laking in kissing part - kissing is more natural even in the exploring stages.
Would have been interesting to see more of the relationship but really enjoyed the story.

Classic for a Reason!
Sometimes things get lost in translation when a title goes from its native tongue to English, but that didn’t happen with this drama. “Crash Landing on You” is a very apt name for this story! 🫶🏻A paragliding mishap lands a South Korean heiress in North Korea… & into the life of an army officer who chooses to help her despite his suspicions. While they work to keep her under the radar until they can get her back across the border, a bond forms. But with their responsibilities & different nationalities being huge barriers between them, will their love be allowed to bloom or are they destined to part ways forever?
I was late to the viewing of this drama so I got to experience it after the Leads were already married in real life which made it sweeter for me. I love watching real life couples bring fictional stories to life on my screen. Their chemistry is legit & I’m allowed to ship them to my hearts content. 💕
Circumstances keep them from defining their relationship until pretty much the end, but it’s their willingness to fight for their love against all the odds that deepens their bond & really makes them a duo that viewers root for. I enjoyed the development of their relationship as they fumble their way through secretly cohabitating. It leads to so many memorable moments, made all the sweeter since we know it’s forbidden.
There are annoying love rivals that lessened my enjoyment (& had a tragic ending that the whole fandom hates), but his squad mates make up for it with their chaotic antics & brave loyalty to the ML. And their friendship that grows with the FL is absolutely precious! 🫠
Obviously the chemistry is chemistrying & giving all the feels. Their interactions are awkward & adorable & innocent & genuine - a pleasure for viewers to see.

a perfect combination of drama in scientific research and school life
watching this feels like a pat in the back for when we are struggling in our studies, just like the characters in this drama. if you cherish the process of learning and obtaining knowledge, this drama depicted it very nicely by making the characters go through science experiments and conference preparation. Kubota Masataka's calm and reserved aura is unbeatable for the teacher's role. he really does a good job in representing the self-assured former researcher and newbie, yet ever-so-caring teacher at the same time. would totally rewatch this just to remind myself of the beauty in learning and how the process looks different for every person.Was this review helpful to you?

So sweet from start to finish
The fact that it's too short is really my only complaint about this show ughhh.Ok, for what I liked. First, The show really excelled in focusing only on Ki-Tae and Wan. I mean with the small cast they have, I'm just surprised the supporting cast blended well and fitted perfectly to what needed to be done to the story. Maybe that's an area of critique for some but, personally, I didn't mind since, gosh, they had so little time. Next, The chemistry. I guess since I've seen some scenes online, I was kind of already giddy when Seung Gyu and Jong Hyuk we're already together. Like, when Ki-Tae was finding Wan in episode 6, screaming and crying...WOW...what a moment. Just desparate and clingy ;}}
I guess my only critique is that the audio is kind of wonky at times. This is mostly when they shot the scenes at big spaces that I guess the character's voices get weaker. That or they didn't have proper mics set up for those scenes. Also, some scenes had the bgm turneedd upp that, again, made their voices much more weaker.
But, overall, I really enjoyed the experience of watching this show for all its sweetness <3.

A rollercoater of emotion. It went from happy, giddy to bittersweet to downright heartbreaking
What a rollercoster ride!? It made me laugh, feel giddy, happy and made me cry especially the last eps made me feel bittersweet & few made me cry! Loved their acting & their emotions plus the plot was lovely too. Perfectly executed a new twist of reincarnation with no regression. The dramatic & "helplessly fragile" crown prince, who loves to lose consciousness(He Yu execited it way better than any other, i loved it SO MUCH!). Alusive & cold daughter of a General whose heart he wants to win. Huayong's persistence, shameless flirting & how he always kept her in mind whatever he was doing since the day he fell in love with Xihe was the reason that melted her heart, broker her falls & made her fall her harder in love with the her precious Huayong. Two great minds comes together. A deal of mutual benefits eventually turns into a lifetime of beautiful love between the two. They were really each other's equal in both power & love.Was this review helpful to you?

Bound by duty. Bound by love.
After being forced apart by familial pressure in their youth, these ex-lovers are unexpectedly reunited due to their jobs.He’s a brave & steadfast fire chief.
She’s a smart & cool-headed ER doctor.
Will working together to save lives rekindle old feelings or will their emotional scars from the past forever separate them?
I like how mature they both are, though FL is emotionally stunted which made her a bit frustrating at times. ML knows her so well, though, that he knows exactly how to handle her moods & help her work through her stuff. Her family is toxic & always blames ML for her wanting her freedom, but it’s actually her that’s the “bad influence” while he’s just there to protect her while she spreads her wings. What’s heartbreakingly beautiful is that he shields her from that harsh truth - allowing himself to be slandered to safeguard her ties with the only family she has.
And it’s because of that steady love he gives her that she has the courage to finally break free of their manipulations & guilt-tripping. She learns to speak up & defend their love, knowing she failed to do so in the past. She vows, this time, she’ll protect him just as much as he’s always protected her. It’s not an easy path, but it’s one he proudly walks with her every step of the way.
They’re a cute duo. They have great chemistry which leads to some very yummy scenes 🔥🫠 And while it’s not all rainbows & butterflies for them, they hold tight to one another’s hand & refuse to ever let go again, no matter what comes their way (and a LOT comes at them).
So, in conclusion, if you’re in the mood for a second chance romance this is a good one to watch.
Side note: her adopted bros love for her was creepy & I was really happy when ML finally put him in his place!

Not for me but maybe you’ll enjoy…
She’s a hard-working student who aspires to be an architect. He’s a top student who enjoys photography/videography. When their paths unexpectedly cross they think nothing of it - until she hears his mother’s voice which sounds remarkably like her own. Wanting to be close to the reminder of her beloved mom who’s passed away, she tries to become his friend. What began with ulterior motives quickly blossoms into a friendship that leads to more. But with his family planning to send him abroad, should they take the chance to love if it means they’re gonna lose?First, I agree it’s an odd choice to have an actres w/ a no-kiss clause be the lead in a romance drama BUT this one shows that you don’t actually need those on-screen scenes to portray a love story.
While I didn’t love it, I didn’t hate it either. It was going good until, upon ML’s return to the country, the FL decided to make him work to win her back when he didn’t even do anything wrong to begin with. Tropes like that reallyyyyy bug me & can ruin my rating for a show. So I’m leaving this shorter so I don’t unintentionally discourage any readers from watching.
I am glad that all love rivals got stopped right away rather than allowing their prolonged presence to cause issues between the Leads. And I did like the Leads together apart from that portion of FL annoying me. I don’t plan to rewatch it but I don’t regret seeing it. The cast did good & it did have several cute moments as well as funny parts. So don’t skip it based on my opinion - watch it & decide for yourself 🙃

Both heavy & light
Facing setbacks in her career, the FL returns home seeking peace. She meets the younger ML, quickly falling for his quiet demeanor & soulful eyes. But their relationship gets turbulent when she learns his family is linked to her mother’s de@th. Can they overcome the trauma or are they destined to part ways?While it didn’t quite meet my expectations, I still enjoyed watching this drama. The storyline is a very good portrayal of the healing love can bring - the love you receive from others but also the love you extend to yourself.
This has a twist with the older FL chasing the ML first, when generally it’s the other way around. I liked that she was bold in her pursuit & uncaring about others’ opinions (though she did annoy me a few times). They have an intriguing dynamic as they navigate their way through getting to know each other & forming a deep bond. They’re very opposite in personality - she’s outgoing & lives loud while he’s an introvert who likes silence & solitude. I enjoyed seeing how their characters developed & grew through their interactions w/ one another. They have really good chemistry & share some seriously fiery ki$ses a few times 🔥🫠
I was worried about her family’s need to control her but they ended up being aces who fully support the duo. There’s conflict that lasts quite a while but that’s what turns the tables & has the ML now doing the pursuing of his wifey. This also opens the door for the annoyingly delulu SML who I honestly wish didn’t exist. Bleh.
Bonus: a great sismance storyline w/ an adorable kid as well. Also, this has one of the most beautiful wedding dresses I’ve seen in a drama yet (like, I want to get married to my hubby again just so I can wear something similar, haha!) 💕

Dark, Angsty, Spicy n Strangely Sweet
The story till mid Ep12 is just fantastic.SPOILER:
The Twist is just Shocking.
When he arranged for all to see the relationship and the Backstabbing was just WOW.
There were for sure moments that i was so annoyed with the soft way of the character and this concept of not talking with each other about important stuff. I also understand that in that period of time people were different than now, more outspoken and harder characters.
But seriously overall it’s a very good drama.
The Biggest and the Only Point that i Really Really didn't like is the END.
Yes it is HE but it’s a very rushed one like sure all that happened for several years. You run, u almost destroyed me and the other was hurt as well so then in just 10m lets all be happy again.
Don't get me wrong - sure 10m be happy but we need to know more like what happened with him after the crash of funds or how he actually was looking for Fanfan.
Not just 2 sentences. This was disappointing.
Done rambling. Watch it with an open heart and mind.

The Sun from Another Star Special Episode
1 people found this review helpful
A satisfying goodbye to Arthit and Daotok
Waiting for this special episode was like torture. So glad we got one after all! <3I kind of miss Dao’s blue hair. It made him stand out, and it looked amazing on Oat. That said, I’ve seen Oat starting to rock more of a mullet-ish look lately, and it looks so cute on him, haha.
That aside, Ngern is such a good actor. His performance stood out to me in this special episode. Arthit genuinely looks so in love. Whenever Dao’s safety is at stake, you can feel the desperation, panic, and fear in his voice, but you can also see it in his eyes and facial expressions. He conveys those emotions incredibly well, for example during the scene on the couch when he’s holding the bracelet and when Dao is patching him up. There’s so much emotion in those moments without him having to overdo it. I hope his next role will be something darker and more challenging, because I genuinely think he would do so well in that kind of role.
Of course, chemistry has to come from both sides, and Oat did really well too. There was only one moment where he made an expression that I wasn’t completely sure conveyed the right emotion, but that was really the only time I noticed something like that. I didn’t notice anything like that while watching Fourever You / Sun from Another Star, either. Overall, I think Oat is a great actor and captivating to watch. Dao clearly feels a lot, but he isn't naturally someone who verbalizes everything, so Oat's performance often works through his eyes and little facial changes rather than big emotional reactions, which I think he does really well. Oat's real-life personality being so bubbly makes his performance as Dao more impressive.
As for the special episode itself....hmmm, I thought it was fine. It wasn’t anything particularly amazing, but it did what it needed to do: give us some closure for these characters and show us what their life looks like now. There were some funny moments, some sweet ones and some emotional ones. Overall, it was a nice way to wrap things up.
I thought I wouldn’t be ready to say goodbye to Arthit and Daotok, but honestly, I feel pretty satisfied. I’m sad to see them go, but at the same time, I’m really excited to see what Ngern and Oat will do next. They really are a great match, both on and off screen.

Reborn FL + Flirty ML
After her family is mass@cred, a princess is reborn & sheds her former identity to become a ruthless power player. She allies with a brilliant but sickly Crown Prince to root out deception in the royal court. Will their marriage meant only as a means to an end blossom into a love that withstands the tests headed their way?I was surprised at how addictive this series was. Each episode left me needing to know what happened next. I’m not a fan of multiple love interests vying for the affections of the same Lead so I didn’t expect to enjoy this much - I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. The ML’s open love for the FL kept me coming back for more 🫶🏻
This drama has a ton of moving parts with a lot of characters to keep track of (I kept mistaking people for others 🤪) but it’s not so much that I got lost. Even with everything happening, I thought it was a fairly easy plot to follow so kudos to everyone involved in planning that out.
If you’re a fan of the following, then I think you’d enjoy this drama:
- intelligent & cunning Leads
- great character development
- palace intrigue & political warfare
- unbreakable loyalty & deep betrayals
- toxic & delulu characters
- several others pursuing the Leads
- well orchestrated fight scenes
- found family & cute friendships
- lots of plot twists & turns
- multiple big reveals
- lots of flirting & swoony moments
- good chemistry w/ yummy smooches
- deep bonds of love
+ so much more!
I admit I skimmed the episodes after ML’s de@th but wowza is there a lot happening at the end!! And I’m SO glad they gave us the bonus mini episode focused solely on their well deserved HEA 🫠🫶🏻 (though an explanation on how the ML came back would’ve been really nice…)

Awful story
Murong Qingyi reminds me of Donald Trump and his TACO moves. He is just all big talk and ends up chickening out. I hate his character. He thinks he is so smart when in fact he is a fool for love. The story is so confusing too. I had to read someone else's explanation before grasping why his own mother hated him so much and why he had two families. There's the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Murong Qingyi,shame on you.
