IN LOVE WITH THESE TWO <3 THIER CHEMISTRY IS SO <3 <3 <3
"I got on the wrong train, and that very train brought me here. It brought me to the place I've yearned to come every morning and night. It brought me to my destination." -----Captain RiIf you're wondering if you should watch this r not then let me tell you JUST GO AND WATCH IT.
This is just so perfect, from the cast to the music to the storyline everything is just so good. The chemistry between Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin is just so flawless.
Although their were some points that I think could've improved like the death of a certain character (I rlly don't wanna give spoilers) but everything was exemplary. Although some parts were cliché the actors ,the producer, the director did such a great job that they just seemed so different. Number 1 drama in my heart and I don't think anything can replace.
Now that Son Ye jin and Hyun Bin Oppa are married really hoping for a season two where they get their twins.

Forbidden Romance love story
I’m going to start off by saying that, I started this show like maybe in 2022 and then dropped it for a year- and then I realised I stopped it at like episode 13 and I was soooo close to finishing it, so I started it up again. Half of stuff that happened in the show I forgot already BUT, I really don’t understand why I dropped it when the show is actually really good?I think once the story went from North to South, it did get a little boring and it seemed like the story kept circling around the same problem- which is the brother wanting to kill Se-ri and the forbidden love between her and the North Korean guy. (Forgot his name sorry ?) But after finishing this K-Drama, I really regret dropping it mid ending, I feel like it would’ve been much more impactful and also, despite the fact that I forgot so many things when I started it again- I still cried so much ?!? ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT GUY DIED! I’m not going to reveal who (although I also forgot his name so…?) but I was so upset, literally what was the reason!!! Such a stupid and unnecessary thing honestly, that’s probably the only thing I disliked about the show- other than the fact that some things were a little dragged out.
Anyway I found out the main characters actually got married in real life and have a kid? Which makes so much sense because their chemistry was definitely chemistry-ing, such a beautiful couple!
Alright so, what I took from this is that- the show isn’t bad at all, it has a good plot and you know whats happening. I think the reason I got bored with it was because this story does really focus a lot more on the romantic aspect of the show- basically the love between Se-ri and the North Korean, and although of course there IS action BUT it is not as nearly a reoccurring thing like romance is. So much cheesiness, not just between the main characters but side characters as well.
So if you’re in a mood for a cheesy romance story which gives it a little spice because it’s forbidden…this K-Drama is for you!

Romeo and Juliet - Korea Edition
I heard great things about this drama, and it lived up to the hype!At first, I was bored by the North Korea beginning segments with Seri being there. I had to watch it in 2x speed. But things quickly started picking up around episode 10. I then felt hooked into the action, the romance, and the cast members, especially the lovable comrades. Them entering South Korea reminds me of the drama Rooftop Prince, and they had such funny cute scenes!
My favorite part of this drama is the cast. Everyone was chosen so well, with such amazing chemistry and acting skills. I also watched this after the main leads got married, but after watching it, I am not surprised they did. Their chemistry was off the charts. I was cringed by the cheese at first, but when it got to the melodrama of the romance, I could feel the love and longing seeping through their expressions. And they are such a beautiful matching couple, I just kept admiring their visuals! Seri was also surprisingly not as annoyingly damsel in distress as I thought. I wasn't a fan of her at first, but she proves herself to be very confident and smart!
My second favorite part is the music. There is some Disney magic music going on, as I felt the feels with every soundtrack playing.
The storyline was standard. It's a very interesting concept to see into North Korea and its way of life though, as fictional as it may be. The second lead couple and their story was really just filler. They didn't really link with the main couple. They also really brush by a lot of plot holes, but this drama is expected to be super unrealistic anyways, from the moment Seri crash lands in North Korea.
I'm going to miss this cast, its music, and its feels. It was unbeatable!

Spectacular
Have rewatched this so many times and can say that it is still amazing. The relationship between all character are beautifully told and acted out. Love RiRi couple so much first drama ever where I actually enjoy the whole drama barely skipping at all. Many have watched this already but in case someone haven’t prepare your tissues!The only thing I disliked was that I was hoping for a 2nd season until Netflix confirmed there will be none. However the ending is very good I just want to see more of Crash Landing On You. Also the behind the scenes are great to watch if you want to see more of the casts interactions.

Before watching this drama I didn't understand why it was so hyped. Now I do!
So, I am relatively new to kdramas, but my gosh this drama was absolutely worth the hours I spent watching it. For me there is nothing worse than getting to the end of the drama and feeling like you've just wasted 16+ hours of your life. I have no regrets after watching this!This drama was an absolute joy to watch! The action was amazing. The chemistry was swoon-worthy! The OST was mind-blowingly beautiful and the story was amazingly crafted! I was never bored watching this and I definitely recommend watching it if you haven't already.
One major thing I would like to point out is that although there are a few minor things I would've changed regarding the storyline, I have still given this a 10/10 because of a number of reasons:
1) I felt extremely satisfied after finishing the drama.
2) I connected with all the characters (even the women from the village in North Korea).
3) This drama took me on an emotional roller coaster ride
4) I believe that one thing that occurred in the second to last episode will have upset many people like me, and although I thought it didn't add anything to the drama I didn't make me like it any less.
Things I liked:
- The limited use of cliché (I know some people will argue with me here but to me it felt moderate and not too over the top or cheesy)
- The chemistry between the two leads *insert chef's kiss*
- The OST (stole the show multiple times)
- The mixing of genres (if you are looking for a pure romantic comedy then this is not for you) - I loved the romance, comedy, action and mystery aspects
- The realistic ending (the way they didn't ignore the whole premise of the show so that there would be a happy ending for the characters (not spoilers saying who)
- The cinematography and special effects - thumbs up the the incredible production crew behind this drama
- The characters and the acting behind them *insert face of awe*
- The story as a whole, the way in which everything fitted together and how I was hooked until the very end (didn't want to drop the drama at all)
Things I didn't like (as much):
- Parts of the second to last episode
- Some of the tiny parts which were a little slow for me
- When some characters were almost too "_" in order to add more comedy to the show
Overall, I loved this drama and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a rom-com with that little bit extra (action, romance and plot twists!!!
Happy Kdrama watching :) <3

One of the best drama!
Crash Landing On You is a Korean drama about a rich lady from South Korea who reaches North Korea accidently, and there she meets North Korean officer who sends her back, and story continues even after her returning back to her home country.This drama is full of twists and turns and never leaves a dull moment for you.
We as viewer go through all the feelings of happiness, disappointment, joy, sadness, relief and so on. This drama keeps its viewer connected and viewer gets involved in the story so easily and effortlessly.
All main characters, side characters all performed very well and they suit best in their respective roles.
Main actor-actress, side actor-actress all are pretty.
All main 5 comrades acted very well, main villain was very good in his role.
Every one's role was well written and well presented. All performance are commendable.
The story, screen play, direction, editing, camera moments are very well executed.
Background music and background songs are very melodious.
This is a must watch drama.
If you like romcom, or trilling, adventurous, military background story, it has it all.
I really loved the portray of love between main characters.
It was shown in a classic way, they cared so much about each-other. It was touching.
This series can be watched on Netflix. It is dubbed in Japanese, Hindi, English, and some other languages. So pick up your language and watch it.
Hindi language dubbing is done well.
I highly recommend this drama to everyone.
You will enjoy it, I am sure.

Seo Dan and Gu Seung-Jun were redeemable too, although I truly think Seo Dan got the shortest end of the stick out of everyone. My only qualm in general was that ending — after all their trials and tribulations, it simply was NOT enough!! I suppose it was realistic though, so I can't dock any points for it.
I laughed, cried, and loved it all. This was one of those stories that I blasted through, only to slow down dramatically at the end in hopes of being able to prolong it just a bit more. What a lovely tale. This series has definitely opened my heart up for a whole new WORLD of entertainment.

When I saw the title, "Crash Landing On You", I was like, this HAS to be a rom-com. With a rom-com title like that, I set my expectations to every rom-com kdrama I have ever watched, and this didn't disappoint! I also thought, hey, is this a rom-com about a pilot and an air-stewardess, and don't worry it's not. (ahem) What caught my eye at first glance was the main leads! Son Ye Jin, and Hyun Bin. Omg, a match made in heaven! Age, looks, gentle looking yet strong personalities, great actors, this can only go well. (And it did!)If you came here for Rom-Com, this drama delivered! Yes a crash landing occurs, but that's not the important point, it's that - girl meets guy. Girl: a rich CEO of a beauty company; South Korean, meets Guy: a (secretly) rich and powerful son of military leader; North Korean. So through a probably (unbelieveable) fortunate or unfortunate accident, she lands right into the arms of this handsome, stoic guy, with a tragic past...This is your usual rom-com genre, but here with a twist...it's in North Korea.
Now I watched this for fun, and you shouldn't take this TOO seriously, I mean, North Korea? Although their love story goes through many ridiculous events, hold your disbelief, and just enjoy it. Look, I get that the producers tried their best to keep the setting to look realistic, it honestly did, but the stakes just didn't make it real enough. The village she gets lost in, where, very conveniently, Hyun Bin lives in, becomes a cute little place where our leads learn to trust each other and for whatever reason, the fear of being in North Korea never feels realistic there, since Hyun Bin with his muscled up physique is there with (us) and its Hyun Bin, who aces at playing the guy who always has it in control...not that Son Ye Jin plays a damsel in distress quite completely. No, we have a girl who although strong, is out of her depth in North Korea. Although the cinematography is beautiful and most of the time, it looks like they had a love story out in the countryside, it really did not make any sense of how dangerous it truly would have been in North Korea, nor did the story allow it to be. Here, we only really interact with the elites, who, with their connections, guns and money make her situation quite non-dynamic.
Nevertheless, there are some gun shots, some side stories with Seo Dan and her love story. I do love the four other soldiers antics, and the villager ladies as well, however they did not get much to do other than marvel at every South Korea with wide eyes, and we can appreciate all of the Hallyu stuff is, the main story is the love story, which has no complains here. It's beautiful, you can see how he slowly falls in love with her, how pure-hearted they both are, and similar values they have..and they are one heck of a good-looking couple, and the chemistry IS there, however a little too PG in here to go to an 8 for story. It's completely unbelievable that in their age, this is all it ends up to. But I digress. I didn't quite believe Seo Dan chemistry with the other lead, though I love the idea of their relationship. I skipped any parts to do with Son Ye Jin's nasty rich family, because, it was so tropey, I could have predicted all their lines in my head, and you get the gist - they suck. However a strength of this drama is how they manuever with Rom -Com tropes- it's there, but they call it out and make fun of some, to cut of the cringe before it can set in, and it is peppered throughout WITH caution, so don't worry too much.
This drama main strengths are its main love story, its cautious writing, its cinematography and its MUSIC. By God, the music is beautiful, and everything I love about folk or if you love IU, so that's why I gave an 8 overall. CLOY is easy-going, it won't waste episodes, you get what you are expecting, and you get Hyun Bin looking his very best (just watch this for his hair, and a guy in a uniform haha) and Son Ye Jin getting the perfect boyfriend you'd ever wished for.

It did start of good and unique, I loved all the parts in North korea ones but did get slightly bored at the other half. The only part which I disliked the most was overusing the " I have met you before its fate" type of gliche. I would have been more happy if they just randomly met as total strangers with no gliche parts which they made A LOT. I started liking the second leads more, they felt more realistic with the way it went but also dissappointing for how it ended especially for our second lead girl who did not deserve such fate. Story is unique but romance very gliche but a lot of the characters were fun to watch. If you don't mind how unrealistic it can be and just focus on the symbolism side its not so bad. What wasn't gliche was mainly about second lead not going into full asshole mode like it is in most dramas whenever there is love rivalry going on. So that part was refreshing and Dan did end up becoming my favourite in this show and then her quirky mother. The rewatch value for me is never high but id probably rewatch it after a couple of years has passed. It did have a lot of funny scenes which I enjoyed a lot and knowing more about North Korea especially when the train stops scene which was one of my favourites.

A Piece of Art.
This drama is truly a piece of art. And I really mean it. I still can't get over it. For me writing this review is like trying to express my inexpressible love for this drama. I'll try my best:I already saw this drama on Netflix last year, but I couldn't get myself to watch it, partly because back then I wasn't that much into korean yet, partly because it was hyped so much. Often that can scare you or get annoying, but let me tell you one thing: THIS drama deserves the hype, the high ratings and the love. It's really worth it.
Story: When I read a summary of the plot, I got interested in the story, it just seemed so creative and new for me. I got hooked in the first episode, the plot really was creative. I stayed hooked until the very last scene. So at this point, probs to the writers, you really know how to write a creative, interesting and hooking story.
The story had everything: A heartwarming, cute and mature romance, beautiful friendships and characters, some really nice action parts, but also scenes to laugh at and scenes to cry your soul out. In conclusion: The story had everything you might wish for. The story for me was just perfect. It was well-written and unique. I heard a lot of people say that they had wished for another ending, but for me the ending was the most beautiful and aesthetic ending I've ever seen in my whole drama-watching career:) Also I had NOT expected it to come that way, so it was even better that I couldn't predict it. Also the story hit me right in the feels, I cried a lot of times and it is one of the few dramas that you can actually feel with all your heart!
Characters: I really fell in love with almost every character! Of course there were some I couldn't stand, but that was okay. My favorite characters were of course Yoon Se Ri and Ri Jeong Hyeok! But I also loved the Soldier squad! They were so cool and always made me laugh:) I especially liked the youngest one and the one who loved K-dramas^^ Every character had his very own story and it was interesting to see where they all go. Also the inhabitants in the military village, they were just iconic! I really loved the vibes there.
Acting/cast: The cast couldn't have been better! It was sooo well-chosen, you really believed that the cast was living their roles. The acting was on point, I had no single moment where I thought: Ugh that didn't seem realistic. That happened not a single time! The cast is very talented, I could feel the chemistry between the ML (Hyun Bin) and the FL (Son Ye Jin). It was so strong that I really believed they were in love! THAT is good acting:D Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin were just born for their roles!^^
Cinematography/scenery: Okay I just had to add this point, mainly because I fell in love with the sceneries! Especially the one in Switzerland, Sigriswil. Oh my god was it beautiful! It was the perfect place to film the story where everything began. I want to thank the producers for making CLOY so aesthetic and authentic and pure how it is. Also every place seemed so real that I truly believed it's how it looks like in North Korea, even though it was filmed in Mongolia.
Music: The music was very special to me. I fell in love with every song, even if it just played as background music. I think the piano piece "The song for my brother" is the most special to me. Of course the music was again very well-chosen and fit perfectly in every scene. I just love the album with the OST. So beautiful, I can't even describe it in words!
So, I hope my review helped someone out in the decision whether to watch or not! ;D For me this drama is a 10/10! It's my favorite drama so far and I guess it will stay in my top-ten list for a really long time. If you're still unsure then please just watch the first episode! This drama will draw you in immediately and you will be hooked! Get yourself a cup of tea and a blanket and start watching!!! You won't regret it :)
