Aterizare Forțată în Brațele Tale (2019)

" Crash landing on you " was an excellent melodrama with a sweet romance.

The first part of the drama was amazing. Sure, the first episode was a bit of a mess, as they were trying to fit in every back story in order to lead us to the big even of the female lead getting into North Korea by accident. And while we're at it, I would have liked if they had given a more in depth presentation of the main character's background and her relationship with her family, as the latter was a big part of her life and personality and a lot of twists were based on that rocky relationship.

That said, the part where the leading lady was living in North Korea was really good. I don't know if the presentation of the country was accurate, but the one they gave us worked for the story. The romance had also a nice pace and it had enough intense and lovable moments. Yes, some of them were cheesy, but they were enjoyable. The side characters were adorable and they added a comedy element to the plot. The male lead had some funny aspects as well.

Now, for the second part, it wasn't as good as the first part, but it was enjoyable. It had enough action and thriller to keep things interesting, and the side characters were simply pure entertainment. The second couple had some time to shine during the second part too, however, their ending was really disappointing, as it was rushed and not properly done.

Finally, the settings and costumes were pretty good and the soundtrack perfect. The performances were really good from all the actors and actresses (this one was actually the only drama other than secret garden where I enjoyed the male lead, hopefully it won't be the last).

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Crash Landing on You is a nice story but with it's flaws. It's not perfect and not bad.
Even if genre stated that it's a comedy I didn't kinda expect it due to the story type (north-south) but it was a comedy :) If I watched this show before I watched too many dramas I would have loved it. But now I can't help but find faults(?) get bored/tired(?).

Shorter review is at the end.

Story:
Love between a person from South and North Koreas. Well there are dramas like this out there, uniqueness came from how they met - "crashlanded" into another country. That was impressive. I loved the start. It was very interesting I was looking forward to it and was uneasy like why do they show side characters so much, while I wanted to look at the main couple. I was also uneasy because of the whole comedy. the situation was extremely dangerous and crazy but it was shown in the drama as light and comedic. I wasn't expecting that so I was taken by surprise but I grew to appreciate that part and that comedic part was what kept me here. In the second half of the drama which i thought i will enjoy more, my attention turned toward all the side characters and I lost interest in the main couple who kept crying, hurting, injuring, crying etc. I do understand those feelings and I cried too while looking at them but only because i'm oversensitive and tend to imagine myself in their shoes. Should I say the story got unrealistic? Well it wasn't realistic from the start but I think the word realistic has two meanings if not more. Realistic like in real world (dramas like Misaend, Black Dog) and realistic like logical(?). I am already used to dramaland unrealistic parts when they hear someone's conversation when they are like super far away, and don't notice someone coming in or hear someone talk when they are beside them only for convenience. Yeah that might be needed for the story. But still at least NIS can't be THAT nice and kind. Well I did go with the unrealistic-ness okay from the moment I accepted this drama as purely a romantic comedy and not a thriller.
the ending was ok. I can see that because of some political issues they couldn't do a different ending. So this ending was like very expected ending from the very start. I like happy endings and well yeah they can't do a happy ending for everyone because they need to keep the "impact" "emotions"...
I loved the references to Memories of Alhambra and Stairway to Heaven.


Characters/Acting:
Oh characters here were amazing! Especially side characters. At first I didn't want to waste my time watching them and not the main couple, but in the end by showing them so much, I grew fond of them more than the main leads. They were great <3 <3 <3 Lee Jeong Hyuks squad was extremely amazing, north ahjummas were really funny and nice, Se Ri's employees were also very nice and cute. Of course acting was top-notched. I like Hyun Bin from Robin from Hyde Jekyll and I.

Other thoughts:
I really don't understand why were they sued because of too nice North Koreans shown in a drama. I have to contradict myself saying that this is just a drama it doesn't have to be realistic xD on the other hand. That part actually might be realistic because it's not like every single person in a country is good or bad. There are all kinds of people everywhere.

Conclusion:
This is a nice drama to watch so i recommend this to anyone who loves romcoms. Those that have seen many dramas and are kinda tired of romcoms might not find this very good though. My rating is high because of the side characters and the comedy. It was funny, otherwise I almost dropped it. But I am happy I finished it :)

Shorter Review:
What I Liked:
-Lee Jeong Hyuk's squad, Pyo Chi Soo (a north korean girl told his accent is the best out of all xD)
- north ahjummas
-north parents
-north accent
-showing us north's lives.
-side couple
-se-ri's elder brother's wife (the stupid one) funny
- Ri Jyoung Hyuk himself.
-Se-Ri's character
-His messages at the end
-Alhambra and Stairway references <3
-Too Kind NIS

What I didn't like:
-second part of the drama
-crying
-injuring
-dying living dying living
-too kind NIS ( i wrote this in like because i liked them but they were like extremely kind and understanding O_O, either all the other dramas out there are depicting the police, prosection, NIS as too corrupt, or this drama showed them too nice, no idea which one is true for now this one appeared to me unrealistic lol xD)

- My rewatch value is almost always 0 because i don't rewatch dramas.

It made me laugh, fear for the characters, cry. I was anxious, in the "good" sense of the thing, every week waiting for the episodes to be released on Netflix.
And when did you take a TWO-week break? Woooow! The longing for the series hit me hahahaha

The characters are so captivating and convey a feeling so true that even the villain was charismatic and played his role perfectly. Got that pose of someone who fears nothing and even gave a charm to the character hahahaha
Ri Jeong Hyeok's team is amazing! Even Man Bok, the last to enter, has already won my affection right away. The village families, the "ajummas", everything in this drama was perfectly placed, whether in the drama, comedy, romance.

The romance between Seo Dan and Gu Seung Jun was extremely wonderful, both characters were extremely well interpreted and constant since the beginning of the series. I loved their relationship and it surprised me that he had left Dan behind because he defended her to death. The way she chose to live life made me very happy, she loved him, no one else :)

The couple of the year (hahahaha) Ri Jeong Hyeok and Yoon Se-Ri were incredible, impeccable, extremely well built, polished, interpreted, both by the team of "Crash Landing on You" and by the incredible Hyun Bin and the wonderful Seo Ye Jin. I have been following their work for some years now and I intend to continue to hope that they continue to live their lives well, healthy and full of ardor for the profession, because honestly, they were born to act hahahaha

I say goodbye to the series with a tight heart, because I would super watch it if they had more episodes, but at the same time, I am happy that it ended up with all the elements that made this a wonderful story.
My congratulations to the team, director, producers, scenographers, cameras, costume designers, sound designers, etc, actors and actresses. Your work has made me so happy that I can't thank you and be typing this review without tears of joy on my face. A masterpiece!!!!!

This is just perfect in everything

It's very simple, this series does everything and can do everything. Romance is my favorite romance that I've seen in my life personally to this day, since I finished this series I'm touched by a gigantic nostalgia.

The actors are great and their levels are amazing, their chemistry is on a level that I don't think I've ever seen in a series of romance. It's just exceptional. The secondary characters? It's simple I would like them as members of my family so endearing they are.
The music is amazing and unforgettable, it always comes at the right time and is very touching. They've obviously been on my Spotify list ever since.
The plot is very good and personally I found it really interesting.
The most successful thing about this masterpiece is for me the main romance and the chemistry between them as well as with all the characters. It's just magic.
This series showed me scenes that I would never forget. I hadn't even finished the show that I knew I was going to look at it many times in my life.
As for the emotion it gives it is very simple I cried from episode 4 to episode 16.

Sometimes I literally cried because the characters were just too endearing while the scene wasn't really sad...
In addition, the jokes and funny scenes are really funny and frankly it's too good because I'm not one to like shows that are too much in comedy. Attention I'm not saying that this series is a series of comedy but I'm just saying that the funny scène are really fun and it's cool.

Finally, I'd like to tell you that I don't recommend any drama as much as this one. If you're looking for a super touching story with amazing characters and a incredible development this series is for you.

Actually if you're looking for something magical that you won't forget Crash landing On You IS THE THINGS YOU SHOULD WATCH.
Please go and look at this masterpiece.

Un drama addictif

Dès le départ, il fallait oser se lancer dans une telle histoire : Son Ye Jin se retrouve propulsée en Corée du Nord, alors qu'elle a tout, voir même est une enfant gâtée, en Corée du Sud. Elle tombe sur un soldat de Corée du Nord, qui poussé par un élan inconnu, décide qu'elle n'est pas une menace, et fait tout pour la renvoyer chez elle en Corée du Sud. S'ensuit moultes péripéties, et une série qui se passe, moitié en Corée du Nord, puis moitié en Corée du Sud.
Rien que le parallèle Corée du Nord/Corée du Sud est osé, mais très bien ficelé. Est-il réel, sincèrement je ne sais pas, mais on s'en fout.
Les personnages tant principaux que secondaires sont menés de main de maitre, les acteurs sont toujours justes et touchants.
L'histoire principale est magnifique, mais toutes les histoires secondaires imbriquées les unes dans les autres, sont tout aussi tristes, charmantes, que captivantes. Les intrigues sont nombreuses, on est absorbé par chaque épisode.
Certains paysages sont aussi superbes, et un plus pour la bande son : Les musiques sont en accord avec le drama, et magnifiques à écouter.
Le couple principal marche à merveille, et nous amène dans leur histoire, sans se poser de question.

CLOY is my kdrama home. I keep coming back to

Just like seri accidentally landed in north Korea I accidentally landed in kdrama world with crash landing on you.
I didn’t know this show will give me soo much comfort and butterflies at the same time. I absolutely loved the star crossed lovers plot between two enemy nations. The dialogues were soo good and meaningful, I can’t still get over “ if you pray hard enough you will get to see the ones you miss”and “ wrong train gets you to right station”. Good dialogues are soo rare these days . But cloy gave some beautiful dialogues that i will remember. There is soo much warmth in the drama, i felt like i was part of the show. That’s the beauty of a show l, it should make you feel like you are part of the story.

We get to properly see their feelings develop for each other with time and not all at once soo it makes perfect sense why they just couldn’t be without each other. Also the story keeps you guessing what will happen next, the suspense keeps you going.
The chemistry between the main leads is just flawless. I feel in love with caption Ri and Seri. I was happy that they made it work in the end. It took years but they made it together.

This will make you Cry but in a good way

This drama have everything i didn't expect I will watch this drama and fell in love with it
the last 3 episodes made me cry the most that my parents asked me the reason because my eyes were swelled extraordinary, the drama is spectacular and the best love story I have ever scene.
Just because they were couple during this drama I feel like that's why chemistry was great.
I wish Second ML and FL had more scenes together but still they were great too.
I have watched 150+ kdramas in past 8 years (these are less because of parents restrictions) now if someone asks me what is your favourite drama definitely its this drama.
LOVE CLOY ?

Crash landing on you is unique in many terms. What matters to me most is the suspense in any drama.The moment I realise what the plot is gonna be,my interest falls. What kept me hooked on CLOY was that each episode was different and suspense continued till the last episode. Also the chemistry between Seri and caption Ri is soo good. He is a tough military guy with a soft heart and she is lonely yet ambitious. I like the fact that their chemistry developed over time ,they went thru soo many hurdles to be togather. The impossibly of their reunion made it even more interesting to watch.

Crash Landing on My Heart

This drama is just too good! Everything was well done and perfectly balanced.
I actually started to watch this because my English teacher recommended it to me, since watching K-dramas was something we had in commen (where I'm from the teachers are very friendly with their students so it isn't weird to talk to them about stuff like that). She watched it with her daughter and said that they liked it and that she thought I would like it too and oh boy, she was right.
So please, if you haven't seen "Crash Landing on You", PLEASE watch it!! You will not regret it.

It's been a struggle looking for a perfect Korean Drama for so many years. At first it was purely out of curiosity about North Korea but when I started watching , it was so damn good. What makes this drama so damn good? Well, the only thing I can pretty much say is to stop wasting your damn time and start watching it. So if you are looking for a good drama, this drama is not the right one for you because it's not good but it's PERFECT(CAPSLOCK). I might sound a bit exaggerating but say whatever you want to say.

I've been a K-DRAMA FAN for so many years and I've never even written a review until this drama was born. Yes, this is my first K-DRAMA review ever. I mean there are a lot of good K-DRAMA out there but those dramas never made me bother to write a review. Recently, I almost gave up on watching K-DRAMA before this drama was aired. It so damn good.

STORY 10 out 10
The story is so unique and so unpredictable. I know that almost all K-DRAMA has a unique storyline but sometimes they make it very complicated. But the story of this drama was on point because it's simple but interesting. At first, I thought that the story will be more political but I was wrong, they balanced it so well. My only sad experience was waiting for the next episode to be aired because every episode left me hanging like I want to fast forward time just to watch the next episode.

ACTING/CAST 10 out 10
They have a good eye in choosing a talent. The main characters Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin fit PERFECTLY in their roles. They have PERFECT chemistry. I heard rumors about them secretly dating and I hope that it's true(haha). I love to see them make dozens of beautiful children(haha). The supporting cast was also perfect for their respective roles too.

MUSIC 10 out 10
I couldn't ask for more. The music was PERFECT(CAPSLOCK). I literally downloaded everything and couldn't even stop myself playing it the whole time.

CINEMATOGRAPHY 10 out 10
The quality was so PERFECT. I couldn't ask for more. I don't know what to say anymore. Just see it yourself.

If you like korean drama, then I highly recommend this drama 100%. The only thing that made me dissapointed is that it only have 16 episodes. I really want more, I hope that there will be season 2 or something. Trust me, you will fall in love with it.

This is hands down the best drama I've ever watched. I didn't know most of the actors before watching and was interested in the plot because it was a military romance (which is my favorite genre). I think from now on, I'll be watching a lot of Hyun Bin's dramas because — his smile ?
Acting-wise, the show was perfect. The main leads have perfect chemistry, the best that I've ever seen onscreen. I also felt like the romance was perfect: it wasn't pushed on the characters, there really seemed to be some character development and the relationship is pure love (makes you dream)
As a musician, I fing OSTs very important and CLOY didn't disappoint me one bit. I loved Jeong Hyeok's piano piece so much i'm learning it now.
The visuals were just AMAZING. The screen atmosphere kept changing between North and South and the scenery in Switzerland was breathtaking.
Finally, the storyline... This drama has the perfect amount of romance, action and comedy. Together, this gives you THE best drama of the year. The intrigue was tight, all the characters had depth and there were no plotholes whatsoever. I feel like this kind of drama is fairly rare and I cherished every second I spent watching it. To be honest, I'll probably rewatch it to cry my eyes out all over again...
Conclusion: watch CLOY because you will NEVER regret it!
