I've never, ever watched a Korean show and this show just shook me to the core! The plot is out-of-this-world, truly original, and the acting is amazing!!!! I felt every feeling, I laughed, I cries and I can't get enough of it! It's way better than any Hollywood production. Just do yourself a favour and watch it!!!!

It has been several weeks since I watched the last episode of Crash Landing on You and I am utterly shocked by how much I miss these characters. And not just the main characters whose chemistry was magical but all the supporting cast as well. They lent a depth and breadth to this tale--the good guys were endearing and the bad guys were classic. Caution: You will have to suspend judgement about a few circumstances but if you ever read Peter Pan, you will easily want to believe they can fly. Personal note: I started watched K-D's because I am 75 years old and wanted to keep my mind sharp by reading subtitles. I don't know if my mind is sharper but my heart is warmer thanks to this wonderful series.

I made an IMBD account just to write a review for this show. This is my favorite K-drama!!! The story line and the actors and everything about this show is brilliant. I was hooked 5 minutes into episode1!! There's never a boring moment. Love the mix of comedy and action and romance. I also like that each episode is well over an hour long. Easily rated 10/10!!!

I don't watch korean series much! just randomly play this series on netflix, but this is exception. the more episode i seen .. i the more i am in love with the story line, characters of each role and many more.

Hyu Bin & Sonye Jin you guys are rock! Congrats for making korean series worldwide via Netflix

Another korean drama that give me the vibe that hard to gain from other dramas. The chemistry, the plot, the cast, the place, the way they act, sooooo gooooooddddd!!! I really love this dramaa. This drama is freaking good. It has the feeling that hard to move on... And also become lot of peoples' favourite. I just don't want this drama to end...will be really missing them, all of the cast.

What makes this KD different from other KDs? 1. They used older actors which IMO are better in acting. Hyun Bin & Son Ye Jin are definitely the best choice for RJH & YSR character. The chemistry are inevitable! 2. The story is flawless and not boring. There's a speck of love story, comedy, and action in one KD. What not to love? 3. Beautiful sceneries. Omo. 4. Everything makes sense. No stupid magic or ghosts whatever.

With this KDrama, we have a proven team: terrific writer, director, co-stars, and cast in a delightful love story but also lots of fun with the captain's squad, the village ajummas, a really evil bad guy, and jokes and teasing. These charms are combined with the longing for reunification that handles both North and South Koreans with love and respect. And both leads are at their most beautiful and talented. I swear Hyun Bin has never been better with that quiet, low voice, steady eyes, and sly smile taking every scene but never dominating. And, of course, Son Ye Jin is wondrous: beautiful, brilliant, touching, and hilarious. This series is a treat.

Anywhere from "Memories of the Alhambra" to extreme like "Rampant" , "Crash Landing on You" is by far more captivating. Anywhere from little hints to Looks of shuttle love gets me on the edge of my seat, but it's his emotions that make it so heartbreaking. He really brings so much emotional acting to the scenes and I should have known watching memories of the Alhambra. But, this has definitely got me hooked. Everyone wants a knight and shining armor with an edge. Korean dramas are much more on spot compared to many and I have to say the writers went where the love and mystery meet...where no one can go. Thank you and I hope to continue watching many more!

"If you give up on waiting, the pain of loss will kill you. That's why I wait." -Captain Ri.

Most people who have watched the entire series, love CLOY, which is one of KDrama's finest series, for some of the following points:

1. The writer, Park Ji-eun, who also gave us "You Who Came from the Star" is one of the best, knowing how to balance drama, comedy, themes, and closure while keeping her audience intrigued and in love with her characters. The director, Lee Jeong-hyo, who has worked on many series and movies, kept everything focused and carefully paced so that the series steadily evolved each week.

2. The cast is one of the best I've seen with immensely beautiful and talented leads, warm, hilarious village ajummas, and Capt. Ri's delightful squad, dubbed "the ducklings"-all of whom became a family for one another and for the viewers.

3. Themes varying from the pain of losing family, being abandoned and becoming a street orphan all the way to the belief in a Zen appreciation for patience and waiting, also kindness, protection, sacrifice, and unconditional love. The themes drive the plot, and the cast brought everything to life, making us impatient for each weekend to finally roll around so we can see what happens next to our beloved characters, whether love, laughter, danger and heartbreak, we got on that train with them.

4. A great story that keeps the reader interested, a love story whose premise was there from the beginning and revealed brilliantly in the steady epilogues. But also the comedy of the sidekick-and the horror of the bad guy consumed with envy and jealousy that destroys innocence and beauty, making this the classical struggle between good and evil embraced by every generation since time.

5. The touching, beautiful OST, which many fans have downloaded. The piano piece "Song for My Brother" leaves me in tears every time.

6. A wealthy, beautiful but hurt woman who learns to love herself as well as others, who can be hilarious and sassy, yet who finds strength in loving and protecting the most amazing man-Capt. Ri.

7. A beautiful man, a pianist who becomes an army officer, a quiet philosopher and tomato plant caretaker with a "low voice"-the kindest man I believe I've ever seen in any narrative-who adores the hurt woman, knows who she is, finds her, protects her, and loves her no matter what evil, what danger threatens them. Yes, he sounds too good to be true. . . . .but he's not. The whole world is in love with Capt. Ri because Hyun Bin developed him and made us believe that such a man can exist.

I never understood the global appeal a d popularity of K pop music, dramas and frankly, would have been ignorant if I hadn't given it a try. Netflix happened to be promoting this new title and I enjoyed the trailer...peaked my curiousity and wanted to see more. I was hooked by the first episode - the witty script, dialogue, music, songs, cinematography and the palpable chemistry not only between the leads but the whole cast - it really caught me pleasantly off guard! I have and continue to binge watch - since mid february till now (first week of May), I have completed seven K drama series! Am on my eighth one now. I do have a clear favourite actor - Hyun Bin and pretty sure, many other talented names will be added to this list. In lockdown, good opportunity to get 'pop cultured'!

1st part was enjoyable. It was nice though there's no way she'd land in North Korea like that. The 2nd part was cringe af. It got too repetitive. A million times of "it was my fault", "no it was my fault not yours", "you're getting hurt because of me", "I will protect her with my life". I got so bored of hearing the same sentences over and over again and the lead guy's countless 'poems'. I enjoyed the 4 friends tho the whole time. It also didn't really have a storyline. It's very basic, cringe and clingy.

I recommended this to my British friend who had script writing work experience. For the first 2 episodes, he said this isn't his style - cheesy romantic comedy. But I recommended him to be patient, if you like to write a story.

Few weeks later, he texted me "I am completely addicted to Crash Landing on You !! I blame on you!!!" Haha succeed !

I truly hope that all of you are wishing North and South Korea reunify one day.. and cry with us..

"Even if it breaks my heart because it's a dream that can't come true, I'd like to sincerely dream of the future."

I finished this Drama an hour ago and I am still just sitting here, not knowing what to do,...or to write, for that matter. I am floored. My heart aches. I am happy and sad and amazed and grateful to have been able to watch this masterpiece. I honestly don't know where to begin. My heart is so full.

"Crash Landing On You" is a master class in screenwriting. The pacing, the revelations through flashbacks and unlinear storytelling, the perfect balance between tragedy, romance and humor,...and God, the characters!

How is it possible to make each and every character of such a big ensemble so complex, relatable and loveable? I was so attached to every single character, that at some point I basically cried through entire episodes, because even when there were happy scenes, I kept thinking that things would probably not stay like that for all my poor babies. At any given time, while watching CLOY, I just had to think of the whole South Korea - North Korea predicament that they are all in and the tears started flowing.

The scenes between Jung Hyuk and Se Ri are so raw and real that I often cried, as well. They say crying doesn't necessarily mean you're sad, it just means you are overwhelmed with emotion - no matter which emotion. And that's exactly how I felt. I was so overwhelmed that I cried when it was sad, romantic and funny.

I cried buckets and buckets of tears but I also laughed so hard that my stomach was sore the next day. There are so many funny moments in both, North and South Korea, but I think my favorite was Se Ri's department store opening. I almost died laughing.

As an aspiring screenwriter and filmmaker, I am deeply humbled by the masterful stroytelling and breathtaking cinematography. There are so many gorgeous settings, such as all the snow scenes, the night of the train break-down and all the scenes in Switzerland.

I am Swiss and I've never seen Switzerland portrayed so beautifully. It made me fall in love with my own country, again. It was strange to see the tram I take every week in a K-Drama. It was strange to see the place I spent vacations as a child. It was strange to see the sights I walk past every day, and have them shown in a new light, looking at them through the eyes of these characters to whom Switzerland represents happiness and their own little paradise. Somehow, seeing some of these incredibly emotional scenes against the Swiss backdrop, made them even more emotional for me.

I can't mention the Switzerland scenes without mentioning how perfect the OST is, especially "The Song For My Brother", "Flower", "Sunset, "Here I Am Again", "The Hill of Yearning" and "Photo of My Mind", which are the perfect musical expression of the Drama's atmosphere and emotions.

Last but not least, the acting is brilliant! I've loved Hyun Bin ever since "A Millionaire's First Love", and his on-screen chemistry with Son Ye Jin is out of this world. I am also very happy to have been introduced to Kim Jung Hyun, Lee Shin Young and Seo Ji Hye through this Drama.

This drama touched the deepest parts of my soul and will forever stay with me!

For a KD to portray and pull off the North Korean culture and dialect deserves an award in itself. So many dramas fail to capture the depiction of North Korea in the positive sense of things, but this KD does everything in its power to show both the good and bad side of the country including the value of belonging in a community. The character development of both leads and supporting cast was also incredible to watch given no one outshone one another, and each character (whether their part was big or small) had an equal opportunity to tell their life story. Moreover, to unite the two Koreas by plotting a developing romance between two people with completely opposite lives and mantra was a genius idea. The energy and undeniable chemistry you felt from the screen b/w the two leads is honestly unmatched, and the fact that I cried in almost every episode goes to show how big of an impact most of the scenes had on me to feel the way I did.

Recently, I have been trying so hard to get hooked on another K- drama. All I ask is that they keep the humor fresh and the romance sweet.

In two episodes, I am already drawn in. I now hope that some romance occurs, but the future of this drama is yet to be determined.

The series follows Ye Ri, a South Korean heiress when she accidentally falls into North Korea after a paragliding accident. All because of a tornado that had flying tractors. I laughed when she pointed that out.

I hope Ye Ri has a good character development arc, I would love to see her grow. You bet I will continue to watch this. Sign me up, you got a fan.

It was a long time that I had not watched K-drama before watching this drama and I must say I made a right decision. This drama packs

• great scenery: the color and atmosphere are so soothing in Swiss that you wish you could be there
• laughs and humor: unpredictable punch lines are not scarce
• beautiful love story: you will smile /cry happily and swoon for the couples' cheesy moments
• plot full of twists: this drama is not some kind of bland linear story. Its story has depth and meaning
• many more: hot actors and actresses, funny supporting characters and lots of moral and life lessons delivered in deep and gentle ways

Just watch it and you will have a good time

How can something be so beautifully written and so amazingly acted at the same time? I have read a lot of other k drama reviews which say the best k drama ever and was disappointed after watching that. But THIS. IS. A. MASTERPIECE. I cried a river watching the last episode and I plan on crying a bit more watching it AGAIN and AGAIN..

Last K drama I watched was princess hour. In my late 30s, I was told by EVERYONE of my friends and workplace colleagues to watch. After a struggled to watch and reluctance many weeks, one episode, bang, here I watched continuously for 2 days. Until now, I still kept repeat watching for tenth time. The palpable chemistry of both actors could exploded whole North korea, albeit there was very small intimated love scenes. You kept watching laughing, smiling, picking your pillow and crying whole boxed of tissues in one episode. Probably one drama like this in ten years time. The Romeo Juliet love story like this could not be felt if not the superb acting on both protagonist actors. I hope they will get many awards and some chances to perform in Hollywood series one day.

I finally finished it, 16 episodes and more than 20 hours of total running time. I'm not a fan of Korean Telenovelas, but I decided to give this one a try because of all the hype and also I thought that anything related to North Korea should be interesting.

And it turned out to be quite an amazing series. In fact the hardest thing I had to do was resist watching the next episode because once you start watching it, it's pretty hard to stop.

I think the North Korean setting is what makes this series unique and great, and also what kept me going thru some cheesy scenes (this is, after all, a Soap Opera). The setting bought the viewers to an exotic, new place with strange customs, and at the same time allowed the "Fish Out of Water" Plot Device on both sides of Korea (a minor spoiler there).

Aside from that the series is also very well made in terms of Script and Plot Twists. It initially starts out as a Romantic Comedy with incredibly witty, you-will-fall-out-of-your-chair-laughing dialogue, and eventually evolves into a Soap Opera Thriller towards the middle of the season with clever Cliffhangers at the end of each Episode.

The pacing is fast, there are always a lot of things happening onscreen, and the Cinematography is amazing, especially the scenes in Switzerland which made the place almost look like heaven.

My only reservation is that is a bit cheesy at times as I mentioned earlier, and also a bit too wholesome for me, which made it feel a bit too unreal at times. I mean, no-tongue kisses, really?

And no sex, despite all those gorgeous people sleeping around in each other's apartments? I think they just wanted the series to be as acceptable for as wide an audience as possible.

Despite that, overall I would say that this is no ordinary series, it is much better than much of what I have seen on Netflix so far. I think it is an Instant Classic, a Masterpiece that must be seen. Truly outstanding.

I even joined to this page to rate u guys. that's the only way we can pay our gratitude for u on making such a great drama. I really love this drama.I've got no words. I love the whole team guys. I've been waiting for something like this and happy that i was recieved it. I am so in love with all actors and most specifically Hyun Bin and Ye jin. Thanks for the amazing acting. Don't like to get addicted to dramas,that's what I usually do.But I failed this time. I am so much crazy about the whole drama,can't even wait up for new ones. Anyway,will remember this love story forever and i hope there's gonna be a happy ENDING. Love and hugs for y'all. Sew from Sri Lanka...

It has many things going for it that will keep both men and women waiting for new episodes. The action, comedy, and drama all have perfect timing and the actors are all great at their craft. Sixteen episodes is not enough for this show!

I might be the only one who found this show overrated. It is excessively long with too many unnecessary scenes and too much padding. The portrayal of North Korean people helping someone like Se-ri and being a mix of corrupt, unsophisticated, or peasant types is laughable. This show is the Disney-fication of North Korea, which, in reality, is a cruel, merciless regime. The storyline is utterly ridiculous.
