This gave me 16 episodes of Hyun Bin goodness
For me it's a light drama, coz I've seen another drama that had the North/South plot.
Yep, HB and SYJ have amazing chemistry and you can see how natural they look when acting. Plus, SYJ is an amazing actress as expected but yep, this is a light drama for me.
The second lead angst is I guess okay.

A joy to watch
This drama was something I was hesitant to watch as it is something I would not want to watch due to the extreme differences in the main characters but in actual fact that is one of the reasons why this drama is very good.Crash Landing on You shows that even if you contrast so much you can make it work if you put the work in. It is shown in a humorous way and extremely unrealistic but it keeps you rooting for the main characters until the last moment. The casting was amazing as they portrayed the characters really well and there seemed to be chemistry between the main couple. This drama tore my heart in all the right places and I wish it all the best :)

One among the best korean dramas
I have been watching korean dramas for about an year and seen about 70 dramas.This is the first review iam writing for a drama although i had seen it long ago i thought i should write my first review for this drama.
And this drama would be among top 3 dramas i have ever seen.The portray of friendship and love is perfectly plotted...
If you are a kdrama fan you must watch this...
Casting and acting is just amazing.
You can't expect anything more from a romcom drama.
Both the female lead and male lead are extremely funny and even the supporting characters are so good...
Hyun bin and son ye jin chemistry was just amazing and even the 2nd leads romance is also a memorable story....

This review may contain spoilers
OMG1st of all this is just my thoughts about this drama
SPOILER
------------
THE END
as usual that (&@^#$%) KD's end, my one and only problem at every drama
i had to admit that this drama is very cute, fluffy and strong till the end
or exactly starting from ep.14
suddenly gave me the feeling it was a little boring and repetitive
THEN the F****** writer should killed (jung hyun)..... WHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
it was totally unfair after all what he got through his life
and after killing him the next scene was supposed to be funny and i should laugh >_<
the writer even rescued the rat although it was fair for him to die
and after being shot alternately between the 1st FL & ML, he also rescued both of them
AND when (ye jin) got shot
the right place for the bullet should be her head according to the angle of the gun
and because both windows were cracked
not her chest guys
and the blood where on her side ( i don't know how?? )
so plz STOP BEING STUPID -_-
and what all that bullying about North Korea
they showed them so primitive and south korea soooooo developed
and their soldiers so naive even when they were in Special Forces they didn't know or hear about Polygraph
COME ON GUYS .... REALLY !!!!
many many event which concerned the military issues was extremely illogical
because what every one knows about NK that they r so aggressive, severe, violent and never smile
so from where they got that stupid idea that they r primitive
it's same as when they showed that Arab still riding camels and lives in tents at the deserts
this was so ridiculous and cupidity
although it was happy ending it was also open one
they can only met each other 2 weeks per year
WOW very sad
i WISHED that they reduces the scenes about the stupid women from the country and focus more on the
2nd FL & ML more and gives them happy ending
i had the feeling that the drama was ruined for me because of those two person's end T_T
i'm frustrated, provoked,depressed, SAD and want to shout T_T

WORTH EVERY SECOND OF HYBE
Crash landing on you is a drama that will pin you down on your seat, Keep your eyes glued to your screen and make you never want to miss a moment of what it has to offer. Yes, it's Just that Good!Indeed an indispensable masterpiece in Kdrama land and what I'd like to call the ideal definition of what Kdrama has to offer.
It's an amazing drama that did well it all departments that it's pretty hard to figure out a flaw here. Even if there was ( I didn't find any?) Then the good part of it surpassed it all because it's Gem.
Coming to the cast and acting. It's a flawless 10/10 because I don't think anyone who finds any flaw with the cast and acting here actually watched this drama. Everything was perfect..the casting was amazing and so was the acting. It was too good to be true. The villain, the support roles the leads... Everyone was Indeed enjoyable to view.
The plot was insanely Amazing. It was one in a million and something you won't find anywhere. It had the perfect blend of suspense, comedy romance and all within.
The ost was memorable and fitting to it all. I enjoyed the blend it gave.
One thing I wish to appreciate in this show is the contrast of the Northern and Southern Korea. (Although I don't know if they were all accurate ) but the contrast was just fun and entertaining to watch..and somewhat didactic. And I never got bored watching the moments at the south of the north. Both were fun!
And the gang we got here? FL and her North Korean boys has to be my favourite gang of all. They were just amazing to watch and Funny in their own world. I really enjoyed each moment they brought. And the Comedy they presented, what more can one ask for?
Not to forget our gang in the North Korean village? Those ladies were exceptionally amazing. Love them all. I honestly appreciate the relationship those ladies built. From helping each other when in need and supporting each other and defending each other..it was beautiful.
Ahem, and let's come to the romance because ? THIS IS WHAT KDRAMA ROMANCE SHOULD BE LIKE! I keep saying that recent Kdrama romance are missing something... something that makes them authentic like they used to be and watching this I'm like. Ah... that's what I'm talking about ? The original feel of what original Kdrama should look like..we don't need s*X scenes or endless kiss and steamy scene to prove our romance. Only the Eyes.. hands...smiles and those little stuff could prove it all!
Because the romance the leads gave had literally ended all r18 romance Kdrama are now putting up. Their chemistry was on fire. And not to mention the leads are together! Omg that's a bonus because they're a match made in heaven! I loved Them so much for this amazing romance they showed. A romance that had me in tears , so beautiful.
Petition to bring back Such authentic romance back to Kdrama!
Overall, This drama was a masterpiece i really enjoyed and I'm glad I didn't miss out on it. Although I was skeptical to watch. Glad I ended up accepting the recommendation from a friend and watching it because now. It's one of my favourite.
Highly recommended so stop scrolling through reviews and watch it already!

A Powerful Blend of Love, Sacrifice, and Borders
Interesting storytelling and emotional depth of the characters. It is captivating in its exploration of love, sacrifice, and the power of human connection.The chemistry between the two lead actors, Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, and their acting are incredible!
The unique storyline and the way it seamlessly blends romance, comedy, and drama while dealing with political and social issues is remarkable.
The drama's ability to create empathy and understanding between characters from different backgrounds and ideologies is also a strong point of this must-watch series.
Not many productions dare to bring a story between two countries (South-North Korea). The production values, including the beautiful cinematography and soundtrack, are also highly regarded.

Unsurpassed
I don't know if I'll see in my life such a beautiful story but at the same time so dramatic and full of moments of heartache, like this one. I don't know if I will see in my life a movie or series or drama that will make me cry as much as I cried watching CLOY. Just so you have an idea, I cried so much, I got dehydrated and had a urinary tract infection. Really connected events or just coincidence? I don't know but anyway.And acting from everyone in the cast? Just everything flawless. All managed to convey the emotions of their respective characters through their performances. The lead couple with surreal chemistry. So surreal that they became a couple in real life.
Alberto and Dan were the only ones wronged in this story. I don't even need to say why.
Anyway, no matter how much time passes, nothing and no one will surpass what CLOY is and was for those who have seen it!

The first 7/8 episodes are pure sweetness. We witness the way a woman who's used to the fast pace of a consumer society adapts herself to a slower life focused on essentials and community. And far from all her obligations as a buisness woman, she discovers herself again, her capacity to trust and to love.
The leads are incredibly good at mixing the sweet and sour of an impossible romance and remind us of the existing reality : a nation devided in two. The comedy glimpses are also a much needed and well introduced relief, often brought by the hilarious secondary characters.
But at some point, towards the middle of the story , it felt like each episode was put on repeat.
She has to leave, but they don't wanna be separated, the bad guy comes at them, he saves her, they cry. Next episode, repeat.
For 6 episodes or more, i felt like the main characters had only one facial expression : crying, and only said one thing : "i dont want you to be hurt because of me, live well. "
There was no real storyline or at least the one from the beginning got kinda repetitve and lost its purpose.
I got into this drama without expectations at all and was mind blown by the beginning, thinking i found the drama of the year and got so disappointed toward the end.
I think it's still worth watching, at least for the beginning and also for the side characters who remain very entertaining.

Recommend!!
This drama is AMAZING. We watched a lot of kdramas and without a doubt this is in our top 10. We really loved two main characters, they had such a strong chemistry, but also all the side characters were very interesting to watch and we're so happy they gave them depth and this authentic and likeable side (Jung Man Bok for example). We loved the setting in North Korea, it gave us a glimpse of their daily life and im glad they showed us not only the "scary" parts but also normal, heartwarming parts of their lives. This drama with that kind of setting and amazing, unforgetable characters (we love military squad with Se-Ri)created this very special and peculiar vibe that we just adore haha. We highly recommend this drama to everyone. 100/10Was this review helpful to you?
An incredible Love Story
Crash Landing on You is a Love Story that just stays with you! I was putting off watching this and now I just feel so stupid. This was such an incredible drama! It’s so emotional and full of the feels. You really feel the love between Captain Ri and Seri. Their bond is so special and so Beautiful. I will warn you now “you are going to cry” Gah, I cried so hard for these characters. I truly fell in love with everyone. The friend ships and the bonds that were created through Seri’s accident and her struggle to get back were unlike any other. The family drama was so frustrating, and heartbreaking. This was a very intense drama. It has it’s insanely cute and funny moments and the sweetness will make you swoon. I now understand why everyone recommended it. It’s truly a love story that proves just how far love can reach.Was this review helpful to you?

why did i watch this so late??!!?
everyone got their happy ending which was lovely but seung joon… his death broke me. i full on sobbed when seo dan was recalling their past together. i wish he had a moment with rest of the comrades they wouldve gotten along so well together. he was effortlessly funny i loved that he got to have a hearty meal with the nk ladies too. seung joon & seo dan u are so loved.this drama was lovely. the comrades and the 4 ladies are my absolute favourite i looked forward to their scenes tiny bit more than the main couple.
the ost esp sigriswil is so beautiful as soon as i heard it in the opening i was entranced. this drama will live with me forever.

Ensemble cast with a disappointing and sappily charmed story
Despite Crash Landing on You's excessive use of k-drama tropes, the talented ensemble cast will still have you swooning and smiling from ear to ear.CLOY tries to give a refreshing insight of North Korean culture but fails to give a unique spin on the romance. After finishing the first episode, I was able to discern how the story is extremely generic on the surface. The gunfights and gunshots got me rolling my eyes. Most of the conflicts are too corny and mawkish for my liking. The writer could have put new narrative ideas but she solely relied on the chemistry of Hyun Bin and Ye Jin to cover the clichés and predictability.
The real pleasure of watching this k-drama comes from experiencing the characters. They are relatable, funny and precious. The cast is charismatic enough to keep my eyes glued to the screen. Most of the time, I had my eyes on the second lead couple as they have the gentle appeal and quiet chemistry than the first leads.
To sum up, CLOY is strictly the usual k-drama romcom but with less substance than I expected. It is a joy to watch but it is equally disappointing and sappily charmed.
