This was my first ever kdrama and is still the only one I’ve rewatched to this day. I know CLOY gets a lot of hype, but there is a reason for it! First off, the love story is epic and very well done. The premise of the show creates the perfect opportunity for a star-crossed lovers story. I love the meet-cute, I love the grumpy-sunshine trope, I love the backstory of their paths having crossed before. Many, many shows have the storyline that the leads have known each other in the past, but I think few have executed it the way that CLOY does. One of the reasons I think it’s so successful is that it’s not a forced storyline of them knowing each other as kids or unknowingly being a part of the same traumatic event, instead it shows the ways their paths have continued to cross against all odds. This aspect of the show had a fated lovers/red thread of destiny aspect to it that I just loved.
Captain Ri is so reserved for most of the show and, yes, he is constantly saving her life, but he also displays his love through such beautiful, little acts of consideration. Se-ri is also such a fantastic female lead. It would have been easy in a show like this to have her solely be the damsel in distress who needs saving from the hero, but she also saved him multiple times. Se-ri was brave and determined, a perfect match for Captain Ri.
Another one of my favorite parts of the show is the found family dynamic she has with all of his friends. Found family is one of the best tropes and CLOY does it so well. Se-ri had her own relationship with each of the soldiers and they all loved her so much by the end of the show. All of these characters added so much needed humor to the story.
I know not everyone does, but I loved secondary couple as well. I wish they’d gotten more time on screen together. The two of them seemed like a perfect match because they both could be pretty morally grey but had such a soft spot for each other.
I love the majority of this drama but there are a couple things that keep it from being a 10 for me. The first is that I really wish the main couple had been more passionate. These two people are living never knowing when they’ll be pulled apart forever and understanding that when that happens, they’ll never see each other again, and you’re telling me that they barely touch each other?! Yeah, right. There are also several plot lines that the show spends way too much time on, which makes the episodes a lot longer than they needed to be. Dan’s mom and uncle had too much screen time, as did Se-ri’s brothers. Se-ri’s family dynamics were very confusing, especially with her dad.
Even with my minor complaints, I would still recommend just about everyone to watch this show. This is a fantastic starter drama as well and it introduces you to a lot of the most beloved tropes. CLOY was unforgettable to me.

Good Points (+10): A show which moved my heart despite I knew what was going to happen with outstanding acting, a very very strong female lead, interesting side characters, great character interactions, outstanding chemistry between main couple, great character development with 2nd couple, heart-wrenching scenes parallel to corresponding sound tracks, tons of emotional brain wreck powered by excellent acting and great screen grabber points at many parts of the entire drama. I don't, in the slightest, have any problem with how Korea is depicted cuz I myself know very less about it (I have seen few peeps complain). I heavily care about the character interactions which was done amazingly, even with side characters. The show tried to depict multiple themes which at few times felt kinda sudden but I liked them anyhow! Very Outstanding Show!Bad Points(-1): Clichés, unnecessary death of 2nd couple, felt just too many clichés, unnecessary content - I felt the villagers interaction to be not more than useless in later part of show (except the part where they receive Seri's Choice New Product from Seo Dan's Mom), I don't understand why Yoon Se-ri and Ri Jung Hyuk cannot live together in Seoul, I feel some parts in show were ughh kinda they could have done this different way?
Overall, in front of the good points, I can only deduct 1 point since this series is just outstanding!

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

Crash Landing on You
- I like how every soldier had their own personality.- Comedic scenes.
- Different from other K-Dramas.
- Music was memorable. (kind of)
- I like the attention to detail in scenes where they remove stuff that North Korea doesn't have.
- They educate viewers on what living in North Korea is really like.
- I wish there were less romantic scenes. (I wasn't too invested in the romance aspect.)

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.
