Crash Landing On You
Plot:
Tells the story
of two star crossed lovers, a South Korean heiress and a North Korean elite who
also happens to be an army officer. One day, while paragliding, Yoon Se Ri has
an accident caused by strong winds, leading her to crash land in North Korea, where
she meets Ri Jung Hyuk, a North Korean army officer, who agrees to help her
return to South Korea. Over time, they fall in love, despite the divide and dispute between their respective countries.
Mini Review:
[Minor Spoilers]
↬One of the big named and
anticipated series of the year; it was full of ups and downs and fun and regrets
filled experience.
↬Starting with the plot, the theme
had newness and the beginning was all exciting, making me eagerly wait for
every week, but also it became predictable (like similar other dramas) and
repeating (how many times were they trying to get her out of NK and people kept
on getting shot!)
↬Nothing much to say about the wonderful acting
of the whole cast. Started watching it for Hyun Bin (one of my favorite since
Secret Garden) and continued it for Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin chemistry
(Previously also I had loved their work together in The Negotiation movie). But
for me, I got more attached to the secondary couple, who had a sizzling
chemistry and easily rose to my favorites.
(I still can’t deal with Goo Seung
Jun’s death, that should not have happened)
↬I skipped almost all scenes of
the other villagers in NK or people around Se ri’s family and company, they
only seemed there for extending the time of the episodes. Also the villain was
neither that impressionable nor scary.
↬And the star of the show for me were the NK military team unit, the four men were the heart of the series, they
kept me addicted to the series with their funny antics and touching moments
until the very end. A spin off for them should be made! Best teamwork in a
show, after a long time!
Over-dramatic at some points but
touching and funny mostly, the show maintained its roller-coaster journey and
living up to the craze.
Ending Notes:
🔺Give it a try, if you liked
YWCFTS, DOTS, Goblin, LOTBS and similar shows.
🔺Do watch for Hyun Bin, if you
were not a fan already you would definitely become in this one.
🔺Plenty of fangirling and swoon
worthy moments.
🔺Also watch out for the cameos.
Will be waiting for next work of
Kim Jung Hyun (Whose character’s death I can’t accept) and would love if he
pairs up with Seo Ji Hye again.
