Aterizare Forțată în Brațele Tale (2019)

OMG I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW GOOD THIS DRAMA IS AND HOW MUCH I MISS IT!!!!! I have completed this drama and I'm so sad that it has come to an end. I kept up with it since it was released and let me tell you. THIS DRAMA IS WORTH IT!!!! It made me laugh, it made me cry, it had me with suspense, its just an overall amazing drama of all times. You will not waste your time watching this drama. Most say the ending was not that great because they wanted more to it but that just shows that it was an amazing drama. I know I'm just repeating myself but all I want to say is, who ever is reading this, please do yourself a favor and watch it. I 1000% guarantee that you won't regret it.

....I would make the same choice and rewatch this drama.

Goodness. This review is full of spoilers. The only thing you need to know is that the drama is amazing and worth a try. If you enjoy it, that is wonderful... if you do not, that is alright as well. If you are the type to read spoilers and not be discouraged, then go ahead... if you want to watch the drama someday and cannot stand spoilers, stop reading after the next three sentences.

This drama is amazing, I hope others will think so too and it is best to have tissues ready for those emotional goodbyes. If you leave on the way, I hope you come back and complete the journey. This drama is worth it.

Now for spoilers.












These awards are for all the dramas I have seen for the first half of 2020.

Award for BEST KDRAMA SECOND LEAD'S MOTHER goes to..... Go Myung Eun (GME).
She supported her daughter in every decision she made. She did everything she could to protect her daughter's reputation, speed-up the wedding date and help her live a comfortable life in the village, because she thought Seo Dan (SD) wanted to marry Ri Jeong-hyeok (RJH). As soon as she released RJH was not what SD wanted anymore, she did not pressure her. When SD was moving on, GME went with the flow and investigated Gu Seung-jun (SJ), incase she was dodge (he was). She did not push SD into anything she did not want to do, i.e. wanting her to use talismans to find a husband three years after SJ's death. If only more second lead KDrama mothers were more like GME. *sigh* She was one of my favourite characters. Everytime she was on-screen, I could not help but smile.

This leads to her second award...
Award for BEST DUO goes to.....
Go Myung Eun (GME) and Go Myung Suk (GMS).
This mom-and-uncle, brother-sister duo were a riot! GMS spoke with a constant foot in his mouth and GME was there to set him straight everytime. Whether she verbally scolded him or physically assault him, it sure was hilarious to watch GMS try and fail to be a good brother and uncle. He did do his best. I, especially, enjoyed their last scene on-screen. Brilliant performances 'til the very end.

Award for MOST SMUG-POUT goes to....
The Fifth Company Master Sergeant, Pyo Chi Su (PCS). ( ^ - ^ )
The transformation from a smug to a pout was one of his best attributes. Every word that cane out of his mout h was riddled with ridicule towards South Korea, capitalism and 'that woman' (Seri). However, it was clear to us (the viewers) and his comrades that... those three weren't that bad （⌒▽⌒）As he got to know them, he grew to tolerate, understand and care for them, respectively. Although, he would never admit it. The smug-pout was a staple on his face whenever he dealt with anything beyond his scope of comprehension. *happy sigh*

And finally
Award for BEST SECOND LEADS goes to...
Seo Dan (SD) and Gu Seung-jun (SJ).... because THEY MOVED ON AND FOUND LOVE ELSEWHERE! Unfortunately, SJ did not make it 'til the end ( T - T ). All I have to say about them was said in the episode review, but I will still add this:
SJ was so bad-ass was a bad-ass who went out with a bang (painful pun intended).

End note (and deepest wish):
- If DAVICHI and YOON MI-RAE could please sing the soundtrack of my life, I would very much appreciate it.
- If HYUN BIN and SON YE JIN were to appear in another drama together and KIM JUNG HYUN were to get his HEA, I would also appreciate that too.

Mostly spoiler free thoughts!

Woah, there's so many things I need to say about this.
I'll start by saying that this is the first drama in which I actually cry. This means that the drama is really good; I never react this way with movies or TV shows.

I'm happy that we're getting a drama with older people as main characters. Seri and Jonghyuk had really good chemistry, they looked super gorgeous together. Seri is such a strong character, she's so confident of herself and doesn't stop until she gets what she deserves. Second leads were amazing as well, specially Seo Dan, which brings me to the next point: relationships between female characters.

Finally, we get a drama in which the main women don't hate each other over a man, lol. Seo Dan lives her life despite she knows her love is unrequited, and is not mad at Seri's for that. I have to praise the writers. I'm such a fan of her ending, she deserves the whole world.
We also have the group of North Korean ladies; at first you'd think that they were just the bullies of the neighborhood but it's beautiful to see how their relationship (with Seri, too) grows and becomes something beautiful, it made me very emotional. [Spoiler, don't read] I was so proud when they realized that Seri released products with their faces on them.

Speaking about the second male, Seungjun, I was not a fan of his character at the beginning but I think it's a quite unique character. You never know if he has good or bad intentions. That, in my opinion, is very human and realistic. [Spoiler, don't read] He did not deserve to die, but well, he did it so he could save his SO. He did a good thing.

And of course I can't ignore the boys from Jonghyuk's unit. They were the funniest characters and wholesome as hell. Chisoo's theories about South Korea were so amusing, and the rivalry he had with Seri (as in South vs North) really made me laugh, lol. I'm a big fan of the beautiful friendship the four had with Seri..

Seri's family made me SO mad at the beginning, which means that they are good actors. Sehyeong's and Sangah.. were just.. so infuriating. The rest of the family where a bit more decent. [Spoilers ahead] I'm happy they (SH and SA) got what they deserved. I'm happy that Seri's and her mom could become a family again, I'm just so glad. Her other brother and his wife, they were so cute together, lol. It's good that they didn't follow the others' steps and could get on well with Seri too.

Overall, I recommend this drama if you're looking for a funny and romantic drama that also will make you cry at some point. It's 10/10 for me.

[END SPOILERS] THEY HAD THE BEST END POSSIBLE. I'm happy they got to meet each other again in Switzerland, I couldn't imagine a better finale. They deserve everything and I'm genuinely happy for them. I wish we could see more of their story some day.. ):

It's been so long since I've watched a drama that has everything from great plot to amazing character development and immersive side stories for the side characters
The first half of the drama is set in North Korea and I thought the story would be depressing and gloomy but because the situation of the FL was pretty serious and things were tense the whole time but surprisingly, it had enough of comic relief to keep me from being anxious all the time for the main characters and just the right amount of thriller to keep you at the edge of your seat.
The second half of the drama was set in South Korea and was just as entertaining as the first half, with more warm and fluffy moments between the main characters.
one thing I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to watch this drama is to NOT binge watch it because the episodes are an hour and about 25 minutes long, I tried to binge watch it but at the last few episodes I found myself unable to watch more than one episode a day, so try to take your time with this drama, because even though it's long I promise you will enjoy every second of it.

Never a boring moment in this drama, you’re always either in tears, laughing your guts out, or just completely in awe of Hyun Bin.
Despite the fact that this drama is about a South Korean woman falling in love with a North Korean man and all the struggles that follow, this was such a feel-good drama. The sweetest romance, plus the idea of forbidden love and some awesome side characters, and plenty of drama, this show just has everything your ideal perfect drama would have to have.
Having to watch this drama and wait each week for the next two episodes was really difficult, but you know the more difficult it is to wait, the more amazing the drama. Each episode had the perfect amount of romance, drama, comedy, and plenty of just feel-good aesthetics (such as Ri Hyuk’s beautiful piano playing on a gorgeous lake in the middle of Switzerland).
The soundtrack is beautiful, the locations and filming were absolutely stunning, and of course the acting just had you in tears most of the time it was so real. Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are just incredible. Their characters shared so many coincidental/fate-like moments, they were so clearly destined to meet each other countless times no matter the circumstances. Endless cute moments that leave you crying over what you’ll never have. They really are just the ideal couple. Highly highly recommend getting caught up in this drama

impeccable series

A beautiful story with wonderful performances, a well-thought-out script (even if they like flashback scenes and music videos) doesn't tire you because you get involved in the plot. Interesting secondary characters that create expectations for the central action. Pay attention to Captain Ri's lines, they are simply impeccable, a pure, perfect declaration of love. For those who still have doubts, 1 hour of drama is better than 1 hour of open programming on Brazilian TV, especially Globo! Do you wait for the hug, the look, the kiss and why? There is a construction of feeling and desire, which is not carnal but rather affection, a captivated love that must be expressed in actions.

The GOAT

I was born too late to witness the first man on the moon, born too early to witness life on Mars, but idgaf because I was alive to witness the 21st century Romeo and Juliet BANGER of a classic.
Crash Landing on You is where it all started. This addiction to kdramas. The reason Netflix started pouring money into the drama business. The acting - peak. The OST - peak. The storyline - fucking peak. The show was so good they just had to get married to seal the deal. BBQ chicken is all around Los Angeles now, and this show is probably the catalyst for it.
I made the pilgrimage every year to this show, and every time I watch it is like watching it for the first time. I laugh, I cry, I feel, I try. Easy 100/10

one of the most beautiful love stories i've seen so far

So i liked EVERYTHING about this drama.

The acting which I think the chemistry of main leads in real life made an impact, the story made on real life accident...

I think despite Seo Dan's cruel side she deserved happiness with Seung Jun. I don't understand why they had to have a sad ending it just made my heart break

OSTs were amazing. They fit everything in this drama. The love story the atmosfere it was just a perfect story

Main leads' story made me in tears every episode and second leads' story at the end. i cozldn't express how much i cried watching Seung Jun die for Seo Dan.

i liked how dramatic they made the drama with a lot of almost dying scenes but everytime exept the Seo Dan and Seung Jun shooting scene they survived. i also liked the supporting roles the army friends of Capitain Ri which made the whole show a lot brighter

"You crash landed into my world.."

STORY:
I gave this story a solid 10/10, and if I could, I'd rate it even higher. The plot, right from the moment I discovered CLOY, had me hooked. I loved the idea of North Korea and South Korea being brought into play, but even more so the passionate and developing love story between our two main leads, Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok. This story was unforgettable, addictive and at times, nail biting.

ACTING/CAST:
Need I say anything about this remarkable cast? Hyun Bin as the quiet yet charismatic army officer Ri Jeong-hyeok and Son Ye-jin as the beautiful and strong Yoon Se-ri made for some scorching hot chemistry. Their love for one another proved to be unbreakable over and over again. That aside, the one main thing I love about this drama is how they diverted from the normal trope that is rich man/poor woman, and made them both equal people struggling through their own past hardships. Son Ye Jin as the 'picky princess' was wonderful to see. She proved to be strong, intelligent and perceptive time and time again, but this was not without difficulty, as shown through the past she has had to endure. Similarly, Ri Jeong-hyeok, the charming army officer and son of a high ranking director, that everyone looks up to, also had his fair share of pain and loss. Both actors successfully portrayed the hardships and happiness of Jeong-hyeok and Se-ri throughout their time together.

OST:
The OST was just out of of this world, and utterly breathtaking! I particularly loved IU's 'Give You My Heart.'

REWATCH VALUE:
Yes, yes, yes! Oh, did I say yes?! I would 1000% rewatch this, just to see all of those loving looks that Jeong-hyeok gave Se-ri, just to see all of those wonderful, passion-filled kisses, just to see Hyun Bin pouting again! And of course, to see the way that despite the divide between their countries they still always managed to find their way back to one another, proving that no matter what, love conquers all.

OVERALL:
“If you give up on waiting, the pain of loss will kill you. That’s why I wait.” - Ri Jeong-hyeok. That quote is the exact description of how I felt about having to wait every week for a new episode! This was 2020's highlight and mine too, this will always hold a special place in my heart. I enjoyed this not just because of our two star-crossed lovers, but because of the people that surrounded them that bought comedy and warmth into their lives. Thank you to all that made this drama come to life, not just the writers or actors, but the people who watched it too. (:

You came into my life as a gift - Captain Ri

It was not the first story where the hero pledges to send the heroine back to her country safely. I had seen this concept but the way this drama explores it with the deep emotions is breath taking.
the synopsis says that seri is a rich chabeol and captain ri is helping her to return back safely, but when the story introduce that he is also from a power political family then the story completely took a turn for me. I understood their journey wont be easy and that would be the crux.

Most favorite elements of the show was the Piano, the last song,the watch, the voice recording, camera and the loneliness.
Each moment int he romantic scenes with lines filed with emotions was a blessing. I was just living in that moment.Bicycle ride was the most memorable scene for me. Al the soldiers treated her like a princess

Hyun bin was too amazing as a soldier. I am a uniform lover, so I absolutely loved him as captain Ri Jung Hyoek. Son ye jin was fabulous I could feel her every emotion as a loner, a sacred defector,longing family and love.

The osts were beautiful. I loved how the piano pieces were there in the osts. IU’s I give you my heart and Davichi sunset were my favourite. The BGM were also perfect.

Rewatch- who doesnt want some warm and romantic feelings. This drama is perfect for a weekend binge.

I read some reviews that it faced backlashes for its portrayal of north korea, but lets just see it as drama. They are made to cater and satisfy warm feeling. If any wants to comment on that please watch documetries on north korea rather than watching a drama. The whole cast and crew had their done their research and made this beautiful piece, so rather than giving criticism lets applaud for them
