It became extremely popular in Korea, the viewership is already so high ( even if the drama is still airing ), it is 4th most viewed TVN's drama after Goblin, Reply 1988 and Mr. Sunshine. It has the North Korea topic, which probably also drew attention of korean and foreign viewers. The main cast is well known and loved, I think we can even say that they're legends. If you liked "Beautiful" by Crush, you can also enjoy his new ost made for this drama. Sounds like a full pack, an ideal drama, right?
And well, in my opinion, it is.
I've watched many great series, and I'm sure - so do you.
But honestly, this is a masterpiece. The way in which actors and whole story catch your attention and engages emotions is on another level. First episode may look a little bit cringey and unnatural, especially when it comes to See Ri's behaviour, but please don't be put off by it. Just watch it till the 2nd ep and you won't even notice when you'll be totally into the story.
And my advice is - don't watch it too fast. Just enjoy every episode. One, by one.
I watched only 6 episodes so far, but I already know this drama will end way too fast. Every episode duration is about 1 h 20 min, but really, I feel like it'd last only 40 min or even less.
This story is just different. There is no other drama like this.
I promise, you'll be surprised.
And you'll be even surprised how the writers used typical cliche for making it even more entertaining.
You just won't expect it.
Anyway, I'll update this review after watching whole show.
It's my first review, and my english isn't perfect so please bear with me.

So far, I find myself loving this drama and I would pretty much rate it 10/10 if the main characters weren't being too dramatic over their love story, sometimes I think they exaggerated their conflict. Nonetheless, I can't wait to see how things end in this drama. ^0^

Boring but I like the lead actress
Half way through the season I just couldn’t watch any more! It started out promising but as things progressed the romance seemed forced and the male lead too stoic. First 5 episodes were the most promising. If it was a faster paced story with episode 5 and 6 combined instead of seperate and less dragging out of some of emotional moments, which also felt a little forced, I think I would have continued.Comic relief was minimal but the village ladies and group of army men were good. The big bad villain was almost the most interesting part of the whole show. However this show is not holding my interest.

wow. watching this drama literally left me speechless. It's been so long since I've actually watched a drama that made me feel all the emotions in such a complex and fulfilling way .
Plot: From the start, I was already so invested in the story, and that just grew exponentially as I kept watching the drama. There is never a dull moment, unimportant filler conversations, or "skippable" scenes. A lot of times I find myself pressing the "fast forward 10s" button a lot but for this drama I barely did that. It's amazing how the writers were able to incorporate so many plot twists within the drama that fit in perfectly with the overarching main storyline. The pace at which the drama goes is just right and keeps you anticipating more and more all the time. I'm truly impressed with how they also tackled so many hard themes like forgiveness, patience, wealthy vs. poor, family, abandonment, etc. This isn't just an amazing love story, it's an amazing story in general. It feels like you're on a crazy rollercoaster with all the ups and downs but you're also having the time of your life. I cried so much while watching this but I also laughed a whole lot, and that's what makes this a great drama, because it gets you so invested into the story that you literally feel like you're on the sidelines watching this happen in front of you. Annnd lastly, the ending was actually satisfying! (wow) I find myself often disappointed with so many drama endings nowadays but this one nailed it for sure. It tied up all the plot holes, didn't leave anything hanging, and still left the viewers satisfied.
Characters: The character development is definitely what set this drama apart from others for me. The work that they did with even the minor characters is extraordinary. Yes, you get the regular main leads' transformation and that's as good as it can be, but the detail that they put into all the side characters makes you all the more invested. Everyone has their own personality that is actually developed throughout the drama and even people that you thought were going to stay "bad" the entire time grow as people. I'm really happy with how they subtly (or maybe even unintentionally) they incorporated strong female characters. From Seo Dan's mother, to Se-ri's mother, to Jung Hyuk's mother, none of them were the typical "rich old CEO's wife" who did as they were instructed all the time. Se-ri is definitely at the forefront, with her being the successful, hardworking, businesswoman at the very start. They also did a great job with the supporting characters in general, making it a more beautiful story than if the energy was solely focused on the main leads. Personally, I very much enjoyed the development of the soldiers under Captain Ri, who literally made me laugh continuously with their hilarious personalities and antics. It honestly felt like they were a whole group of children that Jung Hyuk and Se-ri were parenting xD The character development of Seo Dan was also incredible. (spoiler ish) At first she seemed like the typical second female lead, who was going to try to stop the main leads from being together out of jealousy, but the writers transformed her character from that to something more. They made her grow as a person too, and discover what love was for herself, becoming this noble and elegant second lead that everyone would cheer on too. ANNND ofc back to the main leads....the characters were written SO well. nothing cheesy. nothing cringy. just raw and heartwarming :)
Acting/Cast: Not much to say besides the fact that everyone did a great job. Can't really say that any of the actors/actresses lacked in any way. They all contributed to make this drama a great one, and I loved the portrayals of every character. My favorites would have to of course be the actor that played Jung Hyuk (who wouldn't fall in love with such a sweet and kindhearted guy who ALSO happens to cook) and the actress that played Se-ri. I'm not really familiar with k-dramas but Hyun Bin was able to portray that gentle quiet yet strong male lead so well, and Ye- jin was able to bring the independent lively heiress to a whole new level. The chemistry was of course amazing and no complaints there for sure.
Setting: All the sets were really nice, but I especially liked the scenes that were shot at the North Korean village set. I feel like the dynamic of the village along with its simplicity gave it such a "home-y" feeling , and Se-ri trying to adjust from a fast-paced technologically based life to a much simpler one with the help of the other villagers was really wholesome to watch.
OVERALL: definitely a must watch; I don't understand how they made such a complex and touching story they did! I practically binged this in about 2 days and I don't regret it. Time well spent :)

Lo más memorable del drama para mi fue la compañía cinco y las mujeres de corea del norte, hicieron del drama algo muy lindo y sin ellos la historia no tendría sentido. Realmente ame mucho a los personajes y los OST también son muy lindos, pero como dije, a pesar de todo eso se me hacia incomodo ver y la mayoría del tiempo siento que era muy obvio lo que iba a pasar.

I LOVED IT!!
what to say?though i watch more of cdramas but when it comes to korean dramas they never fail to mesmerize me.
i was just in love with this drama. i am very lineant in giving stars but when i give this drama a 10 star i really really mean it.
the story showed that no matter what when i comes to love no boundary can stop you.
it showed how much the suppoert of your friends and people around you is imp.
it showed how intellectuality of a person can lead u out of any situation.
it showed what true love is.
i liked the second couple so much ....especially ehen the line came that"my daughter loves someone else and even that boy loves her more than even his life."this really brought me into teas because the boy,gu seung joon actually gave up his life.
drama showed that how people are different just by places and not by heart.
when it comes to fate you just cant escape even if u want to.
the best thing in this drama was that it showed the reality of corruption, poverty and how these can convert someone who is pure at heart to a criminal.but still when love comes to you it changes you for good.
there was no reason to dislike it. it had the perfect cast ever going with the story line.
this drama also showed that parents always love their children and you cant trust anyone in the world except them until you find your true love.
its comedy was perfect without vulgarity...a perfect-rom com.

This gave me 16 episodes of Hyun Bin goodness
For me it's a light drama, coz I've seen another drama that had the North/South plot.
Yep, HB and SYJ have amazing chemistry and you can see how natural they look when acting. Plus, SYJ is an amazing actress as expected but yep, this is a light drama for me.
The second lead angst is I guess okay.

A joy to watch
This drama was something I was hesitant to watch as it is something I would not want to watch due to the extreme differences in the main characters but in actual fact that is one of the reasons why this drama is very good.Crash Landing on You shows that even if you contrast so much you can make it work if you put the work in. It is shown in a humorous way and extremely unrealistic but it keeps you rooting for the main characters until the last moment. The casting was amazing as they portrayed the characters really well and there seemed to be chemistry between the main couple. This drama tore my heart in all the right places and I wish it all the best :)

One among the best korean dramas
I have been watching korean dramas for about an year and seen about 70 dramas.This is the first review iam writing for a drama although i had seen it long ago i thought i should write my first review for this drama.
And this drama would be among top 3 dramas i have ever seen.The portray of friendship and love is perfectly plotted...
If you are a kdrama fan you must watch this...
Casting and acting is just amazing.
You can't expect anything more from a romcom drama.
Both the female lead and male lead are extremely funny and even the supporting characters are so good...
Hyun bin and son ye jin chemistry was just amazing and even the 2nd leads romance is also a memorable story....
