Lists are fraught with disagreement but I don’t think I find anything objectionable about this list. TW-ent ranked the top Hallyu K-drama actors of the last decade (2010-2020) and selected four still very active and marketable male leads Hyun Bin, Kim Soo Hyun, Gong Yoo, and Song Joong Ki. I don’t think any of these four could be left off … 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 →
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 →
The two week break between new episodes for hit tvN weekend drama Crash Landing on You didn’t reverse its momentum but perhaps did slow down it’s ratings surge. This Saturday’s episode 7 brought in a new drama high of 9.374% which wasn’t a big jump from episode 6 and there was even another kiss thrown our way like an obvious … Continue reading →
Okay, I’ll concede this post has no educational or informative value but for Hyun Bin fans it’s got nutritional eyeball value. After the closing scene of the most recent episode 6 of Crash Landing on You, when North Korean officer Hyun Bin secretly tails his super crush lady love South Korean heiress played by Son Ye Jin while riding a … Continue reading →
It’s week three of tvN drama Crash Landing on You and I am sooooooo happy that this year neither Christmas nor New Year’s lands on the weekend where this drama would be preempt for holiday programming. I don’t think I can survive a preemption because I’m barely surviving the weekly wait now. The third week episodes continue rising in ratings, … Continue reading →
A very big Merry Christmas to everyone, and a treat has arrived for fans of Crash Landing on You courtesy of female lead Son Ye Jin. She posted a BTS picture of herself and male lead Hyun Bin filming in Switzerland, the scene where their characters are watching the paragliding against the picturesque backdrop of the Swiss mountains. They look … Continue reading →
The verdict is in both for the domestic audience and for my own viewing opinion – I LOVE THIS DRAMA! tvN romance Crash Landing on You is neither crashing nor landing anytime soon as episode 4 rose the most in ratings yet with over 1% increase to garner the drama ratings of 8.499% AGB nationwide for the cable series. It’s … Continue reading →
If Park Ji Eun wanted to package her two fantasy dramas You From Another Star and Legend of the Blue Sea into a trilogy, I would accept that Crash Landing on You would round it out despite not having any supernatural or alien beings in it. It’s so beyond the realm of possibility but delivered in a fairy tale way … Continue reading →
Man, no wonder tvN drama Crash Landing on You always sounded silly and like fan fiction type set up. Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying it so far two episodes in but goodness is the entire premise beyond stupid. South Korean chaebol daughter and fashion maven Son Ye Jin gets whisked away in a supernatural tornado while paragliding and ends … Continue reading →
In screenwriter Park Ji Eun‘s last two hit dramas You From Another Star and Legend of the Blue Sea, she threw in reincarnation and past lives connection for the OTP so I should be relieved she’s just going for meeting in another place earlier with Crash Landing on You. I figure she threw in North Korean military officer to underscore … Continue reading →
That this drama can get high ratings (for cable) despite the very problematic North Korean setting (during the current political climate) is a testament to the star power of Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin as well as the public’s appetite for a traditional Hallyu romance. The second episode of Crash Landing on You rose in ratings to 6.845%, and … Continue reading →
So the verdict is in and episode 1 of Crash Landing on You got a very respectful start with 6.074% AGB ratings nationwide. Less certain is whether the ratings will hold, or even better yet increase, because the drama is how shall I put it…..likely to be polarizing to modern viewers. I guarantee this drama will be straight up love … Continue reading →
