hyun bin can crash land on me anytime ;)
Wow I did not expect to like this drama as much as I did! Hyun Bin is a household name in the kdrama world but now I see where he gets his reputation from! <3
The chemistry between Son Ye Jin (Seri) and Hyun Bin (Junghyuk) was some of the best I've seen in a kdrama! From their first encounter with Junghyuk's powerful gazes and Seri's light, fun humor I knew this couple would have me hooked. Not to go on a rant but wow Ri Junghyuk has really ruined me. Lol whoever wrote his character and cast Hyun Bin knew what they were doing, what a man! Also this show has one of the best second couple leads I've ever seen in a kdrama, the chemistry between Seo Dan and Seungjun was also amazing! I think the highlight of this drama was amazing characters, and it also had a good mix of comedy, action, and romance.
The comedic timing of the show is unmatched and I think is what makes the first half of the show especially amazing. I started watching the drama because saw a clip of the show on YT and I immediately searched it because the clip was super funny! The chemistry between Seri and the soldiers is amazing and I always laughed whenever they were on screen. Also Seri's personality in general and interactions with other characters almost always leads to a laugh when she is on screen. Having a female lead character that is not only pretty but has a bomb personality is something this drama has perfected and I hope to see more lively female characters in other dramas!
Some parts of the plotline were little iffy for me, like the whole fate plotline was driven too hard. I think with some minor adjustments to the plotline the drama could seem more believable, which I think helps make the chemistry between the characters appear more genuine. Let's not even talk about how she got to NK because that was wild!
I'm not gonna lie, I was not that interested in most of the other plotlines besides the main two couples' relationships. Also towards the 11-13th episodes the whole conflict with cho cheol gang was becoming tiresome and dragged out. *SPOILER* tbh for me I got tired of seeing someone ending up in the hospital after getting shot *SPOILER ENDS* I personally would have liked to have seen more screentime with the couples together than some of the action stuff. I think this show had too many villains, like being in North Korea is rough enough but then they added on all these extra plotlines with villains. At a certain point, I kind of got confused on who were the villains, especially on the NK side.
The ending made me feel wistful but I think that it compliments the drama well. I think that as a melodrama the way the characters end up fits the drama's theme. Anyways, overall I think this is a great drama, especially for older kdrama fans, and after you finish I definitely recommend watching behind the scenes on youtube because it is very funny!
