The naysayers weren’t just wrong on the prognostication on tvN drama Crash Landing on You, it didn’t crash land in the least and instead is heading into the weekend with a chance to set new records. This weekend’s final two episodes 15 and 16 will have a chance to beat tvN record holder’s Goblin and Mr. Sunshine, and who knows … Continue reading →
There are two more episodes left so it’s only a question of how high the ratings could possibly get next week. This week’s episode 14 of Crash Landing on You hit 17.705% after episode 13 dipped slighting from last week’s high. Clearly viewers are addicted and tuned in live to watch which is what a good show can still do, … Continue reading →
The screenwriter of Crash Landing on You really has her hands on the steering wheel even into the final stretch. The story continues to balance deftly the romance, the friendships, and the humor, and does so across the border so scenes in South Korea and North Korea are just as interesting. As Se Ri and Jung Hyuj progress to couple … Continue reading →
The two week wait for well worth it as episodes 11 and 12 of Crash Landing on You lived up to expectations. The OTP enjoyed cohabiting in South Korea, the North Korean soldiers suffered adorably in jjimjalbang, PC bang, and fried chicken heaven/hell before being reunited with their beloved Comrade Se Ri and Captain Ri, and the story slowed down … Continue reading →
I can’t believe the screenwriter found a way to flashback to one of Hyun Bin‘s most successful dramas and a scene that was quite memorable and problematic there but now gets a gender swapped redo. In new stills for episode 11 of Crash Landing on You, Son Ye Jin‘s Se Ri takes her North Korean hunky bodyguard Jung Hyuk shopping … Continue reading →
Even though Crash Landing on You started filming last year in August 2019, it’s nowhere near banking enough footage and is basically on live shoot schedule now. August was taken up by a location shoot in Switzerland and this is a large scale drama with a lot of characters so it’s not fast point and shoot in a studio. Despite … Continue reading →
I would have loved new episodes of Crash Landing on You this weekend as a lunar new year present but oh wells, let’s use this as another exercise in patience. It helps that the last episode ended not on a sad separation cliffhanger but a sweet reunion moment. It’s so wonderful to see the screenwriter find creative and fast ways … Continue reading →
For once a Crash Landing on You episode didn’t end with a cliffhanger though it ended with the promise of tons of fun stuff coming in the next episode. There is a two week lunar new year break between episode 10 so the preview for episode 11 promises so much fun times – Jung Hyuk being on Se Ri’s terf … Continue reading →
Being addicted to Crash Landing on You hurts so good. Perhaps I should be thankful next week’s airing will be preempted due to lunar new year festivities and programming, otherwise how can I concentrate and cook all the meals I need to whip up in real life. This Sunday’s episode 10 took what seemed like a permanent separation of OTP … Continue reading →
tvN weekend drama Crash Landing on You keeps soaring higher and one upping itself. This Sunday’s episode 10 jumped 3% in ratings to hit 14.633% with still 6 more episodes to go. This could reach Goblin, Mr. Sunshine, and Answer Me 1988 territory for the network which would be exciting to see. I’ll save the actual plot developments for later … Continue reading →
I don’t think this is anything remotely worth spoiling about tvN drama Crash Landing on You because every single plot point has been cribbed from something before yet stitched together in such an addicting way. This Saturday’s episode 9 continued the high ratings of last week taking in 11.516% as the OTP was reunited from a brief separation only to … Continue reading →
One reason why I’m enjoying Crash Landing on You so much is the rich and layered characterizations of the supporting and even ancillary characters. Even the small roles are memorable and even better perfectly cast, case in point North Korean military officer Hyun Bin’s four subordinate soldiers in his border squad Company Five. There’s Yang Kyung Won as the ornery but … Continue reading →
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 … Continue reading →
