A Beautiful Guilty Pleasure Of Mine

This drama left me in tears within the last few episodes! I cried ugly tears! I began watching this drama because I thought that it will be a light hearted drama that was mainly cheesy and fun. Since I have been previously watching some heartbreaking dramas before starting this one. But I didn’t expect to get so invested in the storyline of all the characters that the drama introduces to us throughout the drama. I especially love our main male lead Zero Nine or Young-Goo!!! His actor brings this robot character to life!
I found myself smiling watching him grow as a character and watching Young-Goo become more human than some of the human characters. I know some viewers had a problem with the fact that he was a robot in a relationship with the female lead Eom Da-Da, but I honestly felt he was more human towards her than her ex Ma Wang-Joon! Young-Goo definitely gives this drama life!
Our female lead Eom Da-Da is a good female lead that I grown to love over the course of the drama. I liked how she reacted to being thrown into this whole situation! It felt real and like how most people would react. I loved watching her love blossom with Young-Goo and how she found real love. I would say my only complaint about her is that I would personally find myself getting frustrated at some of the things she does!
Ma Wang-John is a character I found myself going back and forth between loving and hating! He creates so many issues for our mains! I also felt that his whole reasoning for trying to get Eom Da-Da back wasn’t because he suddenly found himself back in love again! I thought it felt more like he didn’t like the fact that she moved on so quickly with something that he couldn’t understand. But that’s just how I felt!
Now let me tell you one of my major complaints! I felt that the antagonists of the drama were not written as well as I would have wanted! Diana was a very interesting character who could have been used so much more and better to impact the story! I felt that there was barely any growth for her as a character towards the end. She was kinda just there to throw a wrench into Eom Da-Da and Young-Goo love and that’s it!
I loved watching the love blossom between the two mains and felt myself growing with them! I cried in the end with many feelings and I know a lot of people don’t like the ending of the drama and at first I didn’t either. But as it has now settled in on me I think it’s the perfect ending for this drama. Young-Goo gets to remain the human he has become by keeping the memories he made with his girlfriend. Eom Da-Da learns that real love does exist in the world and to fight for what you believe is what good for you! Ma Wang-Joon moves on from his obsession with Eom Da-Da and becomes more human! And the endings up for viewer interpretation of who is there with Eom Da-Da! I loved going on this roller coaster of emotions!

I’ve watched Crash Landing On You in the early summer of 2020. I’m just now getting to write a review of this drama, which I can say is so far my favorite drama I have seen so far as of the time of this review.
Crash Landing On You was a drama that made me feel all kinds of emotions. As I watched the drama, I found myself laughing out loud at one scene and then the next scene bawling my eyes out.

Story 10/10
While I don’t think this drama has the revolutionary storyline that many people anticipated, I felt that it was an original drama. As the viewers, I would follow two main storylines our main couple (Yoon Se Ri & Ri Jung Hyuk) and the second couple (Seo Dan & Goo Seung Jun). Both are very strong and fun to watch. While I enjoyed our main couple’s story more, it felt well written that anyone would enjoy.

Acting 10/10
If the story seems iffy to you, then acting should get you to start watching. This is a solid cast, probably one of the strongest I’ve seen. Everyone does such a great job bringing their role to life, from the most significant roles even to the most minor appearances. Everyone put in their best work for this one. The chemistry between our leads is out of this world, and with the recent news of them becoming a couple, it makes sense why they had such natural chemistry.

Music 10/10
One of my favorite OSTs to date, I still listen to it frequently, and I love every track.

I would definitely recommend this drama to anyone fan of kdramas or Asian dramas in general. I would even say it’s a must-watch just for trying it out!!!
