Binge watched this whole show in three days and it was fantastic! Was this show perfect? No but it was close😘

What I liked 👍🏽

~Captain Ri aka Jung Hyuk men, talk about loyalty! The friendship is beautiful and they will do anything for each other. Just loved those boys! The respect and devotion of all the men just written so well. They deserve the world♡♡♡

~The story is so unique and just really pulled emotions out of me. Romance, Action, comedy and family drama. Just such a great mix of it all.

~Last but not least the realtionship between the leads. Respect, sweet, funny at times and they apologized when they missed up. It was just refreshing seeing a clean, good and healthy relationship in a drama❤

What I did not like 👎🏽

~The main bad guy was a very cartoon villian. We never really see the reason why, just because and didn't love that.

~The ending was to chill....that's all I will say cuz spoilers.

~The B Plot, just didn't really care much for them. It happens😁

best drama

Best best best show! I have got so many of my Indian friends addicted to this show! It's flawless! What chemistry!! Imagine having Hyun bin character in real! His smile and his positivity will ball you over! His acting was always praised but this one did a huge number to us .
We love him and his character is our most favorite ever. You have lived us through so many emotions, you have made us cry, we felt pain when u were hurt, we were happy n clapping when you hugged her and we were worried when you crawled out from tunnel.Thankyou director for giving us him.

The casting is spot on! From the leads to support, no one could have played these characters better than this crew. First of it's kind that I have gone n googled n Instagram followed a supporting cast! Go n sweep away all the awards of this year. You have set a benchmark and it will take a while to some other Kdrama to match you. The writer knows his characters and these actors have really skinned their characters especially Dan's mom ( who was also in Oscar winning movie parasite), the way she speaks English n says "oh my gosh". It's quite tough to say who is my favorite supporting cast. Maybe it's all four soldiers and Dan's mom!

Yejin, Se-ri, she has never played such a fun character before who is Rich but street smart. I am just smiling when I see them together.
She never played a victim and that's what made this drama more interesting. The way she looks at him and gets all worked up wen he answers he is okay. She knows he is always pained. She wants to help him by stepping back , n we feel that emotion of hers! Best expressions she ever gave on the show was wen she takes him shopping and he steps out in a suit . Omg not only her jaws fall down, mine too along with 1million girls watching the show!!!
They have paid so much attention to detail that even his video game name was "tomato cultivator" because se ri had gifted him a tomato plant. Such small small details not only makes us smile but wonder how romantic the writer is himself!

Definitely kdramas have fate as their backbone story but it's so touching that you become their cheerleaders. I have watched all the episodes at least 4 times in loop! I am glad to learn Korean language and I m so eager to visit South Korea!

From secret garden to something in the rain, you both have got the crown of king n queen of melodrama respectively but this show has made u both king and queen of our hearts forever. It's gem and we will treasure this forever. I will still smile and blush and cry and cheer for this every time I see it .

Special mention of beautiful OST. Amazing songs and lyrics. Descendants of the sun and Globin had their ost on billboard charts and now Cloy is taking over!

I would like to thank the crew of crash landing who have worked round clock to deliver this . I remember reading news of cast falling sick because of tight deadlines. Thank you u deserve all that applause.

Main cast to supporting cast, everyone just stands out and has their own charm. It's one of those few shows, in which u will have favorite supporting actor and will always remember their character and their names. Amazing bonding with leads, their humour to their feelings, when they unite, I m sure even the toughest heart will cheer and have a tear! Screenplayng is their backbone . Now it's over, what I am going to do on my weekends??
Plz come to India also. U have massive fan following here!

A truly beautiful story

While watching this show I was truly engulfed in the story. Only after stopping I would realise that I wasn't actually there with them experiencing all of this.

I feel the way that the show is made is truly amazing as it gets you so into it that you just can't stop watching. Even I, someone who doesn't generally watch romance all that much, found myself craving to see more.

I'm usually not one to get super emotionally invested in shows. but with this, I couldn't help it. It is a very touching story. Sometimes you would be laughing and other times you'd be on the edge of your seat filled with nervousness.

The world the story is set in feels very real as it doesn't just live when the characters are around. Instead, there's a lot of depth to the side plots and with all the unique characters and schemes, it's actually hard to believe it isn't real.

Obviously, no show is perfect and it still has its flaws. But I would still wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the rollercoaster of emotions and to dive into a whole new world

Sinceramente, al ver este k-drama no le presté atención a elementos como la dirección de fotografía, música, sonido, dirección de cámara o cualquier elemento que no provenga de la narrativa escrita, pues esta fue tan buena que me terminó cautivando totalmente. La historia que se cuenta es atrevida, ya que hace alegaciones a lo político y a la terrible diferencia entre ambas Coreas. Se presenta una historia poco convencial donde se demuestra que el amor es la fuerza más poderosa, aunque llegue a ser un poco cliché. Mientras consumía este audiovisual no podía parar de emocionarme, disfrutar y sacar una que otra lágrima. El desarrollo de los personajes es perfecto, por lo que para la audiencia es posible conectarse de manera inmediata con cada uno. A pesar de que los episodios fueran extremadamente largos siempre se mantuvo la curiosidad por lo que sucedería acontinuación, por lo que su longitud casi no se hacía notar.

La serie además fue increíblemente graciosa e interesante, teniendo solamente tres errores. El primero es que todos los eventos (menos los ocurridos en el final) transcurren en alrededor de dos meses, por lo que esto hizo que la historia no me produjera tanta empatía como me hubiera gustado. El segundo error fue el hecho de que el final es abierto. Me quedaron muchas preguntas respecto al método que los protagonistas utilizarán para continuar con sus vidas y poder verse, además de saber qué sucedió con Seo Dan después de la muerte de Seung-joon. Por último, está el hecho de que mataran a Seung-joon. En realidad no es un error dentro de la trama, pero es un error porque yo amaba a este personaje y no se merecía un final tan triste.

Possibly my most favorite k-drama! Love how the story is so original which lead to my curious self to start CLOY. Absolutely love Hyun Bin and Ye Jin's characters, their chemistry and their character development. I loved so many aspects of this drama that I have to put it in point form:
- Nothing and I mean NOTHING, dragged on throughout this drama. Was on the edge of my seat since Ep. 1 and just hooked onto the premise of the story.
- LOVED how each episode included so much! This drama in particular made me realize how many events that took place in each episode which was why I binged it in 2-3 days. They were able to add a good amount of events that took place or arising issues needed to be resolved in each episode while everything blended together, maintaining the flow and really made me interested the whole time.
- Seri's a rich woman who is smart and confident while being down to earth and kind. Liked how she wasn't portrayed as a "damsel in distress". Loved Ye Jin's acting with her facial expressions really portraying every emotion, especially in her eyes.
- Loved how Hyun Bin wasn't a "cold" guy and had to progress as someone being more open like other dramas, but rather he just built walls around himself due to what happened to his brother. We can already tell in the first episode in the special ending clip that he was smiling at Seri hanging from the tree talking to herself. He gradually opened up to Seri and was able to show how caring and affectionate he is.
- I adored the relationship Seri had with the soldiers, the constant bickering b/w her and Chi Su, Ju Muk's love for k-dramas, Eun Dong's kind heart and Kwang Beom's presence while being Jeong Hyeok's right hand man. Usually I get bored or uninterested in some supporting characters and am guilty to admit that I can skip parts I don't want to watch but I loved the soldiers characters and their chemistry so much and there was no skipping anything in this drama.
- We were made to somewhat dislike Seo Dan and Seung Jun in the beginning although I knew Seung Jun wasn't actually a bad person however I quickly adored them as the side couple and started realizing that Seo Dan really wasn't a bad person as well. Usually its hard for me to be interested in the side couple however this couple kept me curious with how they would turn out. No one really mentions it but it saddens me how Seo Dan waited that many years to be married to Jeong Hyeok and just having the hope even though she knew that he didn't love her. Also saddened with the ending for Seo Dan & Seung Jun. TT
- I liked how the military/officials scenes of either Jeong Hyeok going to work and dealing with issues, certain directors planning schemes and showing the behind the scenes of what went on was intriguing and kept the drama flowing well. Often times, many k-dramas have political/officials related problems scenes that are super boring and just fillers however CLOY didn't have any of that which is a positive aspect of this drama that really stands out.
- Liked how this drama portrayed North Korean people as the same as everyone and that most of us hold a certain stereotype towards normal NK people due to the dictatorship life there which was mind opening for me as it changed my perspective.
- Loved the cast and everyone's acting was excellent!

Some minor aspects I didn't like and why I left out 0.5 for the rating:
- The CGI was definitely not good for some of the scenes when they were paragliding which is alright but if someone else watching could be picky about it and I understand it added humor to the drama but wished it would've been a bit better!
- Would be better if Cho Cheol Gang's past was shown or he had some backstory as to why he had such ill intentions to kill JH's brother. I'm assuming JH's brother was after some sort of high ranked position as Cheol Gang but I maybe missed it somewhere?
- Glad that the ending was happy and satisfying in a way. I wished that somehow JH's father is able to issue visits to South Korea for JH which would let him see Seri much longer than the 2 weeks that the ending showed. That might sound bad haha but considering how high his father's position is I think it's possible. Also for them to go through so much just to only spend time for 2 weeks and then wait the next year is sad and frustrating
- A few very minor plot holes, one example is the scene of Seung Jun at the airport ready to leave but having to go rescue Seo Dan to which he randomly shows up with a gun when he was on the run the whole time and didn't have anything with him. Just minor things that I questioned later on and didn't affect the enjoyment I had watching this drama!
All in all, I loved this drama and would recommend to anyone! Would definitely re-watch in the future!

“Crash landed on my screen”

At First I hesitated on watching this drama, because I thought it wasn’t Worth my time. However I came around and decided to watch it. and I’m saying this as a person who always overthinks Weather or not I should watch a certain drama, because It takes me the right amount of time to finally decide on which drama I should watch. and I loved this drama so much than I anticipated.

From that first 20 minutes while watching this drama I couldn’t predict what was going to happen next because I had no idea about what was going on. in fact I didn’t even read the plot of this drama. But that didn't stop me from continnuing. I still liked the Unexpected scenes from this drama. It gave hope, courage, and love to those that needed it. And we genuinely need to move on as the wind blows cause it doesn't stay in one place for a reason. So I highly recommend this drama to all those that have not watched it. And hope they love it when it crash lands into they're world as much as I did.

Buen tema de las diferencias entre Corea del Norte y del Sur

Tiene muy buen tema que presenta las diferencias de vida en Corea del Sur y Corea del Norte. Muy interesante, para los que no conocemos mucho de la cultura en estos dos países. Yo despues me puse a buscar mas información en el internet acerca de la vida cotidiana en los dos países y por lo que lei me parece que esta bastante bien presentada.
El romance es muy bueno, con personas que se entregan por completo.
Tiene mucho drama, romance, amistad, politica y también incluye comedia. La comedia es aveces un poco simple.
Tiene un buen reparto. La musica es buena.

Cause I can't help falling in love

This is the highest rated drama on MyDramaList that I have watched to this day, but, as much of an emotional attachment I have been able to develop to this drama, I cannot help but recognize its many flaws that make it quite an overrated drama overall. Now, don’t get me wrong, this drama was freaking awesome. I loved the leads and the side characters to bits, and the music, although not the most impressive soundtrack, did contribute quite a bit to the waterfall of tears I shed for this drama. But because I loved it so much I can’t help but wish for some parts of it to be a little different. So here we go: Right off the bat, I’m just gonna be honest and say that I didn’t like the drama at all during its first 3-4 episodes. It just didn’t click with me right away. The comedy was a little ridiculous, but I learned to get past it and love the drama anyway. The first “part” of the drama that happened in North Korea felt very repetitive. It was the same sequence of “ooh boy she’s come up with a plan to get out of North Korea” only to be followed by “oh man, another unforeseen obstacle prevented her from escaping successfully” and repeated several more times to the point where I just didn’t even hold out any hope for her escaping AT ALL. Now to address some cliches. 1)Fated to meet *barf* 2)Ri Jeong Hyuk’s brother’s death caused him to become distant and cold-hearted (dramatic much? I get that you loved him, but plenty of people lost their loved ones and didn’t act like the world suddenly ended) 3) Now this may just be my personal opinion, but the “big bad villain following the rich South Korean heiress into her country to kill her” sequence was a little ridiculous and super annoying to watch. While we’re on the topic, I tend to err on the more realistic side of Korean dramas, and watching these two lovesick idiots take bullets for one another time after time and end up in a hospital bed was just a little too gruesome and depressing for me. I tend to avoid dramas where characters face violent or even fatal encounters for that exact reason. Last two complaints, I PROMISE. I wasn’t a fan of how Ri Jeong Hyeok kept lying to the South Korean officials about his intentions for the sake of saving Yoon Se Ri from legal troubles when he left. He was clearly making her miserable and yet he kept lying I JUST UGH. While I’m probably one of the few (or maybe not lol) people that thought that eliminating the second male lead was a bold and frankly quite a fun choice, I can’t say the same for how they wrapped up the ending of the drama for the main leads. Once again, largely personal opinion, but I found it so depressing how the couple could never truly be together and had to rely on two weeks for every YEAR to meet each other. I didn’t watch 20 hours of a Korean drama only for you to tell me that they don’t even get a proper happy ending! Now, while I just typed up a huge freaking essay of complaints about the drama, I have to admit that watching CLOY was one of the best experiences of my life, all the frustrating parts of it aside. The side characters/second leads were so well developed over the course of the drama that I felt like the love story between Jeong Hyeok and Se Ri had a dramatic impact on all the characters on both sides of the 39th parallel. This drama explored all angles of the story and wrapped up the side characters’ narratives even better than it did with the leads, and while I will always cherish the main leads’ romance, it is the side characters that ended up completely stealing the show and making this drama one for the ages.

I can't say I didn't have any problems with the story. It had it's loopholes for example in the first nine episodes crossing the border into South Korea was shown to be next to impossible . But from episode ten and onwards it seemed to be a piece of cake . Just why didn't Ri Jeong Hyeok ask his father for help regarding seri in the first place? Why did he put his and seri's life in danger again and again till his father found out himself and decided to directly intervene ?

The biggest problem i had though was Seung Joon being killed in the last episode. I absolutely loathe dramas that unnecessarily kill off characters . Also we often tend to root more for characters that have suffered or who are pitiful. In my eyes Seo Dan and Seung Joon were the most tragic characters in this drama and i felt they deserved happiness the most. I thought this alone would make me hate the drama but to my utter shock I loved it despite it all.

This drama shows just how important good direction and solid acting from the cast is for a drama. Hyun Bin and Son Hye Jin gave such amazing performances that it was hard not to root for them. The timing and execution of every scene was amazing . And even the secondary characters were acted out wonderfully by the other cast members.

The way the characters were written was also awesome and they all showed depth. I thought I would find Yoon Seri as an annoying character but I grew to appreciate the fact that she was smart and independent not a damsel in distress. I also loved her protectiveness towards Jeong Hyeok and the scene where she takes a bullet for him.

Jeong Hyeok is everything that you would want in a hero . He is tough as nails and also very devoted towards the heroine. I must admit I didn't like Hyun Bin's character in Secret Garden as he was very clingy towards the heroine and utterly disrespectful to her at times. But here he realises his full potential as a swoon worthy male lead who isn't the entitled self centered jerk we often see.

As far as the story is concerned I loved how much research they put into depicting life in North Korea . If you love dramas exploring different cultures you will love this. Life in North Korea is so bizarre and terrifying and the drama made full use of it to add to the thrill . Tvn dramas tend to have very long episodes and I find them hard to finish but this kept me hooked till the end. It also had one of the best final scenes ever. What l love is how romantic it was and yet it wasn't solely focused on the romance alone

while I adore certain aspects, there are also significant flaws

Crash Landing on You is a drama I have mixed feelings about; while I adore certain aspects, there are also significant flaws.

First and foremost, the cast is phenomenal, featuring some of Korea's top actors who deliver stellar performances. The chemistry between the female lead (FL) and the male lead (ML) is incredible, and their characters are initially well-developed and relatable. The show starts off brilliantly, and I would argue that it could have ended halfway through for a more perfect conclusion.

However, the second half takes a turn for the worse, particularly with the FL's arrival in South Korea. Here, the ML's character begins to falter, and the narrative shifts towards excessive South Korean propaganda. While it’s reasonable to exaggerate North Korea's flaws, the show fails to mirror this approach with the South, missing an opportunity for a balanced portrayal. This lack of subtlety detracts from the storytelling and leaves viewers without a chance to form their own opinions.

Additionally, the blatant product placements become overwhelming as the FL returns to South Korea, taking away from the narrative’s authenticity. The conclusion feels politically correct and disengaged, disappointing viewers who are left yearning for a more credible resolution. The show's insistence on prioritizing career ambitions and long-distance relationships over genuine emotional connections makes it feel unrealistic—if love is truly powerful, shouldn’t it inspire more effort?

Overall, Crash Landing on You starts strong but ultimately falls short of its potential, with narrative choices that compromise its integrity.

Hmm

Just finished Crash landing on you...and it deserves to be on my favourite shows list. Wondering why I wasn't picking this show up earlier. Moving on to the show, it has a simple yet good storyline and excellent performance by the whole cast especially i totally enjoyed the parts where that squad (if you've watched it) comes on screen. Also loved the chemistry between the leads, Captain Ri & Seri they looked so good together :) and Gu seung joon (l simply loved this character), he has done a great job.
One thing that is its length (was unnecessarily stretched till the end) was my biggest concern but still I would prefer this drama over many others. It has that emotion which lasts till the end, suspense, fun elements just fits nicely.
Definitely a binge worthy show.
