Great start with intriguing characters, however the end fell short for me.

The acting of the two mcs were phonomenal and I found myself on the edge of my seat cheering for them and badmouthing those who went against them. I absolutely adored all the soldiers in Captain Ri's squad, they brought humor and adorable sweetness to the show. A loved all the ladies from the town, it was so nice to see a group of neighbours that seemed like an actual family having each other's back despite the consequences.

Despite the shows excellent start the last few episodes had moments that brought the show down for me...

(Major Spoilers Alert!!!)
I liked the characters Seo Dan and Gu Seung-joon, finding their relationship quite cute. However the ending of their character arc didn't hit the mark for me. GSJ's death felt unrealistic and lacked the emotion needed when killing of a character. The whole time I was to distracted by the paramedic who sat there in the ambulance doing absolutely nothing. When a paramedic watches while someone who is dying takes off their oxygen mask to talk to someone, and when that person dies shows no attempt to save them it makes the scene unbelievably stupid for me. It made me continue to wonder if he wasn't actually dead which was furthered by the lack of reactions from any of the mc's. Also Dan's revenge was not clear at all.

The whole series they emphasised the power of the rich so I found it quite disappointing that when the people they loved were in danger Se-ri and Dan did little to nothing. When Se-ri and Jung Hyuk were in SK despite her mentioning that he shouldn't show his face they made no effort to hide it despite her social standing, constantly being photographed. However I understand that they wouldn't want to have his cute face covered all the time.

The portrayal of North Korean was very interesting, giving a new perspective to a place I didn't know much about besides its military and government flaws. It was nice showing the different cultures and the merits of both. The portrayal of the South Korean officials seemed unrealistic. It seemed like they were trying to show how amazing and kind the SK system is going way too over the top. It seemed silly and unbelievable that the soldiers were asked if they wanted to stay and that Jung Hyuk was allowed to go anywhere, with access to a phone. In any interrogation a certain degree of intimidation is expected and required, this show went over the top in trying to show the humanity in SK government vs NK's.

The ending also could have been better. Se-ri is so influential it would be easy to find where she was but they had to wait years hoping to meet by chance... I would have liked to see them settled down in switzerland or anywhere, living together and starting a family like they dreamed of. The show made ot seems like they only see each other for 2 weeks a year which was quite disappointing after everything they've been through.

Overall the character development and acting was phenomenal but they ending didn't do the series justice.

this drama is suuuper addictive and worth every watch ! got me hooked on the first episode omgg i miss when dramas used to be this dramatic and fictitious (in a good way).. though i did get bored for a few episodes in the middle but it was still bearable because of the side characters's wits >< the ahjummas & soldiers were so entertaining to watch i love themmm they're definitely one of the main highlights of the show ! i cried and laughed a lot while watching this show cus it was just that goood .. so grateful that i didnt watch this drama as soon as it came out because i'd be missing it everyday for 2 years now ㅠㅠ

only down point is that the character cheolgang was just too annoying i didnt gaf about him omg he gets away with everything why does this guy always play corrupted characters ;_; other than that everything was just great but as for the scenes i skipped, blame it on my poor attention span. hyunbin & yejin's chemistry were undeniable they were both so great and charming i love themm :c!!!

overall this drama definitely was worth the hype and worth to be watched ! its fun , entertaining, heartbreaking, thrilling omg literally every emotion there is !

Just like Jung Hyuk and Se Ri were fated to be together, I was fated to watch 'Crash Landing on You'. No seriously, I NEVER would have watched this drama but something happened which freed up my time so I spontaneously decided to watch this even though I have so many other dramas that I've been meaning to start for years now. Suffice to say, I've found another 10/10 drama that will stay with me forever. I'll try to keep this review short so you can start watching it if you haven't seen it already.

I don't know why, but my expectations weren't very high for this drama but wow it had me laughing, swooning, crying and anticipating what would happen next at the end of every episode. And MY GOODNESS I love all the characters (the good ones of course). The cast did an amazing job , they were really able to portray authentic friendships and love and emotions.

Do you know how sometimes at the end of a drama it leaves you wanting more? Leaves you questioning what happened to the characters? Not content with how it ended? Well, you don't have to worry about experiencing that with this one. Other dramas would have stopped like half way in terms of the plot but 'Crash Landing on You' continued the story and it didn't once feel dragging. (Although, I wasn't happy with what they decided to do for a certain character but it adds to the plot, so I'll let it slide.)

And the OST? AMAZING. It made the drama even more beautiful.

This drama was so good that I finished it in 3 DAYS! I don't think I've finished a drama that fast since 'Goblin' (another drama which I gave a 10/10 rating). I was actually supposed to do some really important things but I chose to put it aside to watch 'Crash Landing on You' and I don't regret it.

Oh and another thing, the cinematography was absolutely breathtaking, especially the scenes in Switzerland. It makes me want to visit that country in the future... maybe I will. Maybe this was why it was fate for me to watch this drama, so I would decide to go to Switzerland and something life changing will happen. Ok maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Anyway, I love this drama. I recommend you check it out even if it's not your style because apart from Romance, there's underlying themes of Family, Friendship, Mystery, Comedy, Drama and Politics. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

*Edit: I rewatched this kdrama with my mum months ago and I loved it even more so I'm changing the rewatch value from 7 to 10*

For Hyun Bin

This is a very belated review. I watched it once it was aired and I have since rewatched it a few times. It was on my list because of Hyun Bin. When I knew that he was the male lead, I knew that I had to watch it and of course, I did!

This drama has received tons of positive reviews and I want to add mine! Hyun Bin is an absolute delight to watch! The scene where he was being transformed into a Seoul man was drop dead gorgeous!! OMG!! So very hot and sexy.

This drama has funny elements, touching elements as well as intriguing moments, suspenseful moments! The cast was excellent but my highlight was and still is Hyun Bin.

Pls watch for this very fine actor. I loved him since Secret Garden. These two are, to me, his best best best dramas thus far and I look forward to more of his brilliant work.

Watch - for the love for Hyun Bin.

One of my favourite K dramas

This Kdrama was AMAZING!!!!!!! The story line was great and the chemistry between the two lead characters was great. And I loved the second love story on top of the main one. Even though if you have watched the show you know what happens to him . I also wished they kept Seung-joon because he had amazing character development. I also liked how realistic the show was than other k dramas I have watched in the past. The main characters can only see each other 2 weeks in a year. And I like that because it wasn't like Captain Ri magically escaped to South Korea and they lived happily ever after. Even though they do not get married at least they get to see each other and have a house together. But overall amazing story, the acting was great and the show had great shots as well. 10/10 recommend. And I would defiantly re-watch the show!

The reason for this Drama love affair

UPDATE - just rewatched CLOY in honour of #JinBin. I forgot what a masterpiece this is. I watched it a year ago and it still had me on the edge of my seat, laughing out loud and sobbing my eyes out - the latter was embarrassing.
While the story is a little unrealistic, just cast your skepticism aside and enjoy what is a brilliant TV show - of any genre.
All the characters illicit the correct response - be it love or hate (the villain is truly exceptional). This is a beautifully contained series and it will leave you joy in your heart and satisfied.

CLOY was the first KDrama that I watch all the way through and it made me fall in love with this genre.
If you are new to KDrama, then I encourage you to at start with Crash Landing on You. If you've never watched one before then like me, you might find the first episode a bit over the top. On top of that, the episodes are long - between 70-90 minutes each.
If you get past the first episode, what you'll get is the most wonderful story, incredible cinematography, brilliant acting and a glorious soundtrack.
Our leads are amazing and work so well together with amazing chemistry - they are a real couple now :)
The second leads are equally brilliant and a good antagnonist to our leads.
The supporting cast are equally lovable - the captains team as well as the housewives living in the North Korean village.
I know a lot of that life is somewhat glorified, but does touch on what life is liked for those with and without money.
Please give this a watch - you won't regret it.

Crash Landing on You caught my interest from the day it was announced that tvN ordered it and the channel did promote it quite heavily for one of the series to watch for 2020, which made me even more curious to watch it and couldn't wait for it to start..... However the series did not meet my high expectations and it eventually took me much longer to finish than I, myself had anticipated. It wasn't bad, pretty enjoyable, but it simply did not meet my expectations.

The story had potential and was unique in it's way (which you obviously can read by reading the summary), I found that the producers/directors and writers repeated certain stories over and over again simply to fill in certain episodes to be at least 16 episodes long, while I wished the production went more in depth to their backstories and families surrounding them to really understand the trouble they've been through and understand the stories/anger of certain characters, which they kept vague and were forced to be guessed by us.

Concerning the actors, the cast was enjoyable and Hyun Bin was definitely one of the key holders in this drama, however I was not a fan of Son Ye Jin playing her role as Yoon Se Ri as everything was just too much in any form of emotion that it simply became ''fake''

The music was nothing to comment about it as it was good and enjoyable and I find the ''rewatch'' value always a difficult thing to judge as I never feel like I want to rewatch a series I have already watched, so I just stick to the note I gave for the series myself.

Tl;dr

Chemistry:
off the fricken chart. Omg. And they don't tease us forever until the first kiss or "love you"s. Also loved how both main actors are not the super plastic surgeon molded twentysomethings but seem like normal (ok, not *normal* normal but super attractive) korean people.

Story/characters:
starts out great. NK is gloomy and everything looks rundown and sad. People are portrayed suffering hardships without complaining, the side characters are quirky and loveable, the real villains are EVIL, the rivals are just human too, everything has an honest humble feel to it. Made me google NK intensively and made me wanna punch Kimyongfuck's face even more. Ahhhhhh.

Anyway. Things start looking weird in the second half of this, when they are in South Korea. I mean, online gaming? Getting scolded? Way to destroy the tough ass military character with how dumb it all looks. Wasn't a fan of the kept house hubby. That was also the time the "relationship" seemed cooled off and strange. One would expect passion and desire, but no, we got fried chicken and child safety level browsing restrictions for him. Huh?
And don't get me started on plot holes. I mean, her brother basically confessed to hiring a killer and nobody cares? He walks free. Wut?

Music: cheesy, forgettable

Happy ending? 50/50. it's a cheat.

Rewatch? Nah, but liked the main couple a lot. Please do another drama, you two!
