Episode 8 of Crash Landing on You Leaps Forward in Ratings, Skipping 10% to Go Straight to 11.349%

Goodness does the success of this drama continue to surprise me but it’s been a pleasure from the first episode on so let’s keep the faith the momentum and quality continues. This Sunday’s episode 8 of Crash Landing on You hit 11.349% ratings, a 2% ratings increase from the last episode which is even more incredible since it’s a cable drama. It has Goblin like legs though Goblin hit 12% in episode 3 but stayed between 11-13% for the duration of its run until the final 3 episodes broke past into the 16% range. Crash is at halfway so plenty more runway to flex its wing and also plenty more angst to come if you can believe. I love this drama so much, it’s not about Se Ri and Jung Hyuk loving each other and now sacrificing for the other, it’s that we understand how hard it was for each to get to that point, to fall for another so completely and why that love is special enough to risk everything for. The ending of episode 8 was a total Secret Garden episode 17 ending moment, that epic and so much at stake in how the emotion felt by Jung Hyuk was heart rending.

  • Its halfway there. For eg that hotel show hit 10% in 10th episode. Eight episodes left. Average of 8 episodes is 8.4% so far and it will end with double digit average. Huge win! If such high content stays every week. Final episode might touch 18 to 20% and average might end up more than 11 or 12%. For eg mr sunshine hold highest average for cable show around 12% and 10% for cable drama is like 20% for channel like sbs. The week break affected 7th episode ratings but 8th one recivered big way
    The way drama ends on cliffhanger this week people will be tuned out. Because it is getting exciting and more emotional drama.
    Oh my god son ye jin such a fanatasic actress. Great at emotional scenes. N hyun bin is great too.
    I am hookedup. Cant wait for next week and it happens every week. So no point i see ratings going low and it has become huge oveeseas too. I really dont see any new gen actress who can emote like son ye jin. Just imagining woozie in such role scares me! Lol this drama makes vagaflop looks bigger flop on public channel lmao!!!

  • I still waiting for this show to end its run before deciding to watch it but I’m getting a tad worried.

    There’s some recent rumbling in certain sites and twitter (for example user netizen drama) about the quality going down with poor dialogue and one dimensional villain and becoming kind of stale. The saving grace is the romance of the leads. And It’s only half way into the show... I’m mighty glad I held back from starting because I’m sorry this kind of show won’t deliver esp since I have high hopes due to loving Hyun Bin and the writer most famous work Love from another Star(story was okay but the leads made the show so winnable and fresh).

    • Laura dramas like this are never high quality nor original. The only reason to watch is for the chemistry between the leads and they have it in spades so turn off your brain and enjoy the ride in true hallyu fashion.

  • @laura watch it. I’m a nick picky watcher, while I like Hyun bin I say it as it is if it sucks it sucks but no.. not for this drama. the quality is definitely not decreasing per episode. I thought episode 8 hit a high in terms of quality (it was a little Long only in my opinion) but I like it all.

    Back to the drama
    I really really like how he said: is this what you really mean? And when she says yes , he just goes “I understand, so Don’t cry anymore” and then turns around and walk away.
    Omg I swear , it sounds so cheesy as I type but no it’s a really quality moment. And how much I love it that the noble idiocracy only lasted 1 minute and she’s goes running off to find him. Someone like that, no way you let him go.
    This drama, I heart both male and female lead!

    • Its hilarious how easily shaken she is and when it comes to mr ri, she betrays anybody. The dialogues are golden. Some are so funny in serious situations that I have to do a double take if its for real. Thank you Netflix

    • I loved that scene as well, like, he knows and understand what she really mean behind those words. And i'm really tired for those noble idiocracy so i was hyped when she ran after him, without enough gas ???

  • Lol overreaactions. If u wanna watch critically acclaimed boring shows feel free to. This show is full money with entertainment value like my love from the star. And i cant wait for next week. It always leave u in edge by end so u have to wait for next week. Infact a hit show like hotel luna reached 10% in episode 10. so it is on way to beat it and also becoming highest rated shows of all time on cable. So far average for 8 episodes is 8.4% and i dont see next 8 episodes falling down with audience hookedup and final episode might reach 18 to 20%. In the end average of whole show will end up with more than 10 % which is blockbuster average for cable drama. Highest rated cable drama is mr sunshine with over 12% ratings. This show is blockbuster so far! Lol look at vagaflop on pblic channel it looks even bigger flop and imagining woozie in crying scene just makes me laugh. LOok at son ye jin act ine pisode 8. Her eyes speak volumes

  • I really have no complaint about this drama and I would say, they did a good job with marketing it as a cheesy romcom with ridiculous plot, so viewers actually tuned in the first place, expecting to ridicule it but end up loving it. It's better than coming in at high expectation only to be let down.

    The romance definitely dig on me and all the actors are perfectly cast. And can I say how terrific the actor who played the villain, Jo Cheol Kang. He is scary as hell while maintaining that calm tone when speaking.

    I am happy CLOY doing so well and I hope the rating continue to increase.

  • Love this show so much!! I agree, the emotions at the end of episode 8 was so epic, I rewatched it 3 times!!!

  • Think I am the odd one here. I am really not into this. From epi 1 till now is all about going back and unable to. I feel that the story just doesn’t make sense and there isn’t much development. Though HB is one of my fav actor, I am not sure if I should continue. Dr Kim on the other hand is so interesting.

  • I love Hyun Bin to death and watched all his dramas. About CLOY, I watch from episode 1 to now, thinking if I should continue or not. It's not going anywhere but just back and forth focusing on how to make the audience swoon over the main leads. No solid background or make any sense. The only thing I like about this drama is how it's giving me the old goodie Korean dramas vibe. Sorry to say I'm not digging the comedy too. I don't know but it just not for me. Sorry Hyun Bin, I love you and your performance so much but this well be your first drama I'm dropping.

  • Dan's character get my symphathy!how she struggle about the 6 years failed engangement not true love!oh come on he dont deserved your love!my god story become so classic and easy to catch!it's HB by the way,but he's character become so annoying lately..whatever the first couple do i dont care,they'll got an happy ending
    Maybe the second couple will born immediately??cant wait watching them!

  • Am I'm the only one who is not feeling Son Ye Jin performance. I also don't like her character. She is an unbeatable person who is hard to go down for anyone. Out of the blue she is following everyone in North Korea direction and is super friendly. Making everyone falling in love with her. I also don't like Hyun Bins character. No it's not working. I ff in every episodes. Debating if I should continue. Maybe no.
