The most popular K-drama in early 2020 is Crash Landing on You, starring Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin. The story talks about a South Korean chaebol heiress crash lands north of the DMZ due to a paragliding mishap where she meets a North Korean officer and falls in love.
And truly, I like it! It’s a lot funnier than I expected for a show set in North Korean and starring a North Korean soldier. Hyun Bin’s straight-laced character absolutely cracks me up when he’s faced with Son Ye Jin’s hyper, almost manic energy. Their chemistry is already intense, especially their comedic chemistry, and I anticipate that to transfer over to romantic chemistry quite smoothly.
I didn’t immediately like either Se Ri or Jung Hyuk — Se Ri came across as spoiled and cold, while Jung Hyuk, being a soldier, seemed very stiff and formal. But as they interacted, they won me over, and I already love them both. Se Ri is strong and intelligent, enough of both to cast off her worthless family and create her own success, and she’s also hilariously quick-thinking to the point that she out-smarted a North Korean officer. And Jung Hyuk turns out to be a bit goofier than he seemed, the way he held onto his pride even as he stood on that land mine and suffered Se-ri’s taunts. I can’t wait to see them become closer, and watch as the more vulnerable, human sides of them emerge.
After several episodes, where they both started to care for each other, I can tell Hyun Bin's character in this drama is so warm and gentle. He can't help himself from falling for Se Ri. As I can tell, even thou Se Ri seems to be strong, yet she has that tragic story from her life. I really like this drama due to its important strong point on mental health. A few years back, Se Ri struggled with life, thought it would be best to commit suicide in Switzerland while travelling. Instead of wanting to die, she found the will to stay alive, the courage to stay strong and keep moving on. Such a good insight.
You should watch this drama, I really recommend this drama guys ~
