Umm this show is soo good....
I really enjoyed this drama. I first watched this around December 2020. It was the first k drama I had ever watched. I really enjoyed the cast the most out of everything. The chemistry between Hyun Bin and Son Ye jin is absolutely amazing. I was pleasantly surprised when they announced their relationship in real life! I also really enjoyed seeing Seo Ji hye in this show. Over all the acting and casting is a 10/10. If there was one show I would recommend to those that want to get into k dramas it would be this show right here! This show was a great way to start my love for k dramas. I will definitely rewatch this show sometime soon!Was this review helpful to you?

A perfect drama.
Crash Landing On You was the second drama I ever watched, and even being the second drama I watched, it easily one of the best one I've watched. Please note that my review does contain a lot of spoilers/a lot of plot details, so I advise you not read this unless you have finished CLOY.The characters were the best part of this drama, and each role was so perfectly casted. Ri Jeonghyeok and his squad of men in particular made this drama so sweet. They became a family for each other, and they gladly included Seri in this family. Additionally, every little side character felt so important and necessary, such as the village women where Jeonghyeok lives, the people who work for Seri at her company, etc. Speaking of Jeonghyeok's squad, I love them so much. I love how they feel when they find Seri's choice in North Korea and are proud to hear it's a best seller. I love how they are ride or die for Seri and Jeonghyeok.
Seri's character development is great. She starts off as a rather cold, workaholic. Jeonghyeok, as well as her time in North Korea, changes her for the better, she becomes a warmer person, she starts finding things in life that make her happy. Speaking of Seri being a warm person, I still smile thinking about the limited edition items she makes that have the North Korean Village Women's faces on them. Even though she had no idea if they would ever make it to them, it truly shows just how much she changed as a person. She truly wanted to show her love and appreciation for them. She even names that line of products 'saudade', which is a word to express a feeling of longing and nostalgia.
Ri Jeonghyeok is maybe the sweetest male lead I've seen in a drama? I still get teary eyed thinking of him holding up the scented candle for Seri as he searches for her in the market, or her face when she sees him in the middle of Gangnam. He truly cares so deeply for Seri, and that's so evident in the texts he programs to be sent for a year after he leaves (and the fact that he recorded his song on the piano for her so she could always listen to it... so cute).
I don't really pay attention to OST's much unless I happen to like the artist who sings it. CLOY changed that for me, in particular with the piano piece 'The Song For My Brother'. Despite not having a single word in it, it brings me to tears. It's so raw, and you can feel the grief and rawness in the notes. That song in particular is my fav OST song. I love how it was intertwined into the plot as well.
I personally didn't care much for the relationship between Seo Dan and Goo Seunjun, but not because it was poorly written/bad, but the story was already filled with so much of Seri/Jeonghyeok, that their relationship felt kind of unnecessary to the story. I did think they were cute, but their ending makes me sad.
I'm curious about the last scene in CLOY. I don't think Seri or Jeonghyeok permanently moved to Switzerland, since Seri's company is based in South Korea, and I'm not sure if Jeonghyeok could even move out of North Korea. Is that house one they have for when they are in Switzerland? Or am I wrong and did they move to Switzerland?
I give Crash Landing on You a 10/10.

Crash Landing into Your Hearts
Started off on this drama because of course Hyunbin and Son YeJin + the plot was interesting, with NK involvement (which is a big step!!). NETFLIX definitely helped with the speedy uploads every weekend for me to follow up on the drama.Was drawn to the premiere, but i could tell what the ending was right from the start (which i guessed correctly). Overall it was a light, funny but sometimes tinge of melo (especially last few episodes) drama? Had a very enjoyable watch, although i won't say it is a relatable/realistic drama, but hey thats what drama's all about! Feeding on our fantasies. The other side characters were funny and enjoyable to watch ! Now everyone wants a Captain Ri !!

This is another drama that I dropped while it was airing and picked back up again months later. Story: New and different. That being said, I wasn't a big fan of the first half of the season, which is why I dropped it in the first place. The second half was pretty great though. Therefore, I think it's better to binge. I loved the soldier bromance, and the RomCom moments between the leads. I loved! Goo Seung Jun's character arc. The ending was a bit cliche in my opinion.
Acting: Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin were great, but neither of them is really 'My Style'. Kim Jung Hyun really stood out to in this drama. I guess I didn't really get SLS because I didn't want him to get the FL, but I was definitely more interested in his scenes than a lot of the others. All of the characters were well cast however, and the acting was pretty great.
Music: Catchy OSTs, a bit melodramatic for my personal taste.
Rewatch: Medium because I only want to rewatch the scenes where the North Korean boys are discovering Seoul.
TLDR; It was good but definitely overhyped imo. I'm just not a Hyun Bin or a Ye Jin gal *shrugging emoji*

It changed my life
What a unique story!! Imagine a rich businesswoman from S Korea goes paragliding in her freetime to de-stress and gets caught in a tornado that blows her into N Korea. She gets rescued by a handsome army guy and his rag-tag troop of subordinates (belovedly nicknamed "the ducklings"). The army captain ends up having to rescue her and protect her many times over, and she continuously stymies and befuddles this straight-laced, Joe Friday, "Just the facts, Ma'am", pragmatic officer.Americans: Get past the one-inch barriers called subtitles and allow the looooong, dramatic pauses to roll off your shoulders (there aren't as many as other K shows). The characters are so well written that you will love them all. Even the bad guy played by Man-Seok Oh is sooooo good at being bad (not to mention a cutie too). You get all you could ever want in an entertaining show with this one. Give it a whirl!!!

Best Drama i ever watched so far...
So I was so bored this year because I didn't have a drama to watch so I searched for a drama to watch and then I fell upon this beautiful drama called "Crash Landing on you". I can't tell you enough how this drama literally made my day. I want to rewatch it without knowing what's going to happen. This drama is so different from other dramas. Usually, other dramas would have a love triangle and basically end the whole drama where the main lead will have the girl. This drama had me off my seat laughing and crying at the same time.1. The plot
The plot was amazing, I loved that she wanted to be independent and so she did the parachuting by herself but ended on North Korea territory. She meets this man that tries to hide her under some circumstances so that she doesn't get caught. So they try ways to send her back, but things just don't work out. This plot isn't just like other plots, I love it because it's different.
2. Actor and Actress (main lead)
The male lead Hyun bin is so to die for omg!! I love him and his acting. Give all the awards to him. I thought the female lead would be annoying but I loved her when she first appeared on the screen. She is so beautiful and her acting is amazing. Son Ye Jin you did an amazing job, you also deserve all the awards!!
3. Other Actor and Actresses
Her family was toxic as heck but you can tell they did their acting amazing well. I literally cannot believe there was another couple in the series, it was totally unexpected but it was so worth it to watch. If you start hating someone in a drama then you know that they are acting well.
Overall, I loved the drama, This needs to stay a series by itself, I would totally hate it if they made a sequel because that will totally take away from the original film. I totally will give it 1000/10 because it truly is an amazing drama and i would love others to watch it too.

best drama
Best best best show! I have got so many of my Indian friends addicted to this show! It's flawless! What chemistry!! Imagine having Hyun bin character in real! His smile and his positivity will ball you over! His acting was always praised but this one did a huge number to us .We love him and his character is our most favorite ever. You have lived us through so many emotions, you have made us cry, we felt pain when u were hurt, we were happy n clapping when you hugged her and we were worried when you crawled out from tunnel.Thankyou director for giving us him.
The casting is spot on! From the leads to support, no one could have played these characters better than this crew. First of it's kind that I have gone n googled n Instagram followed a supporting cast! Go n sweep away all the awards of this year. You have set a benchmark and it will take a while to some other Kdrama to match you. The writer knows his characters and these actors have really skinned their characters especially Dan's mom ( who was also in Oscar winning movie parasite), the way she speaks English n says "oh my gosh". It's quite tough to say who is my favorite supporting cast. Maybe it's all four soldiers and Dan's mom!
Yejin, Se-ri, she has never played such a fun character before who is Rich but street smart. I am just smiling when I see them together.
She never played a victim and that's what made this drama more interesting. The way she looks at him and gets all worked up wen he answers he is okay. She knows he is always pained. She wants to help him by stepping back , n we feel that emotion of hers! Best expressions she ever gave on the show was wen she takes him shopping and he steps out in a suit . Omg not only her jaws fall down, mine too along with 1million girls watching the show!!!
They have paid so much attention to detail that even his video game name was "tomato cultivator" because se ri had gifted him a tomato plant. Such small small details not only makes us smile but wonder how romantic the writer is himself!
Definitely kdramas have fate as their backbone story but it's so touching that you become their cheerleaders. I have watched all the episodes at least 4 times in loop! I am glad to learn Korean language and I m so eager to visit South Korea!
From secret garden to something in the rain, you both have got the crown of king n queen of melodrama respectively but this show has made u both king and queen of our hearts forever. It's gem and we will treasure this forever. I will still smile and blush and cry and cheer for this every time I see it .
Special mention of beautiful OST. Amazing songs and lyrics. Descendants of the sun and Globin had their ost on billboard charts and now Cloy is taking over!
I would like to thank the crew of crash landing who have worked round clock to deliver this . I remember reading news of cast falling sick because of tight deadlines. Thank you u deserve all that applause.
Main cast to supporting cast, everyone just stands out and has their own charm. It's one of those few shows, in which u will have favorite supporting actor and will always remember their character and their names. Amazing bonding with leads, their humour to their feelings, when they unite, I m sure even the toughest heart will cheer and have a tear! Screenplayng is their backbone . Now it's over, what I am going to do on my weekends??
Plz come to India also. U have massive fan following here!

A truly beautiful story
While watching this show I was truly engulfed in the story. Only after stopping I would realise that I wasn't actually there with them experiencing all of this.I feel the way that the show is made is truly amazing as it gets you so into it that you just can't stop watching. Even I, someone who doesn't generally watch romance all that much, found myself craving to see more.
I'm usually not one to get super emotionally invested in shows. but with this, I couldn't help it. It is a very touching story. Sometimes you would be laughing and other times you'd be on the edge of your seat filled with nervousness.
The world the story is set in feels very real as it doesn't just live when the characters are around. Instead, there's a lot of depth to the side plots and with all the unique characters and schemes, it's actually hard to believe it isn't real.
Obviously, no show is perfect and it still has its flaws. But I would still wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the rollercoaster of emotions and to dive into a whole new world

loved it
Captured my attention from the beginning with the original lines. Good strong female lead actress whose probably the main reason for a captivating drama to follow even though the storyline isn't new. It's refreshing seeing the female lead relationship. Loved the supporting male actor's character more than the main lead. The poignant main theme is the divide that comes between them that is more than their own efforts; the divided countries. It tears the heart because the 38th parallel is not fiction. Enjoyed the comic ups!Was this review helpful to you?
Hollywood you better take notes!
Everything about this drama is just wow! The acting, scenery, plot and especially the OST (probably listened to this more than I'd dare to admit). The whole "paragliding accident" can seem a little far fetched, but the story really really evolves from that. Cried like a baby during the last episode and will probably need some time to emotionally recover from this show. Don't think I've ever watched something that would get to me this much, being able to portray such a powerful love story without a single sex scene, just wow.Was this review helpful to you?
