I think the biggest drawback for the series was the really long episodes. SPOILERS: Of course, that changes when Se Ri, Jung Hyuk, and the soldiers make it down, and then we get a lot more time there. Luckily, there wasn’t a lot of time spent there in the first half of the drama.
Most of those characters were Se Ri’s family who were just greedy and unlikable in general. I wasn’t really feeling anything going on in South Korea either. They do finally develop their stories later in the drama, but it was a bit too late for me. They also didn’t get a lot of screen time initially which didn’t allow me adequate time to connect with them. Seung Jun was mildly amusing at times, but I didn’t really like him, and Dan wasn’t particularly likable either. I sadly didn’t much care for our secondary leads of Seung Jun (Kim Jung Hyun) and Dan (Seo Ji Hye) though. They added plenty of laughs to the drama as well as nice helping of heart. We also had quite a few really fun supporting characters with the other soldiers helping Se Ri as well as the North Korean townspeople. I enjoyed this duo’s scenes together quite a bit.
He frequently plays characters that are a bit stoic, and this was no different, but Jung Hyuk had this sweet, softness to him that Hyun Bin nicely brought out. This is also easily one of my favorite roles of Hyun Bin. We started with some cute bickering and then watched their feelings for each other grow. The star-crossed romance between Jung Hyuk and Se Ri was an emotional one. I always enjoy a little co-habitation hi-jinks too, and that’s what we get here. I liked the unique premise of a South Korean woman getting stranded in North Korea and being aided by a soldier. Now, I honestly didn’t love this drama to the extent that many people seemed to, but it was still a good watch for me. We can usually expect good love stories from her, and Crash Landing On You was no different. We knew Crash Landing On You was going to be hit from the moment it was announced as it comes from the writer of popular dramas like My Love From Another Star, Producer, and Legend of the Blue Sea.
