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 →
This weekend is the landing of Crash Landing on You, and we’ll see then if it reaches an audience thirsty for gorgeously filmed romance or lands like a thud for the farfetched set up. I think it’s the former, so many sillier drama pairings (alien and actress, con artist and mermaid) have succeeded because K-drama romance peddles extreme fantasy. Hyun … Continue reading →
If you have four leads, two men and two women, and it’s a glossy high profile drama, it probably would be best to avoid in any way shape or form other high profile drama work product. But this one is funny because the two dramas are from the same screenwriter lol. Writer Park Ji Eun‘s next drama Crash Landing on … Continue reading →

But in upcoming tvN romance Crash Landing on You the worst thing that happens to Son Ye Jin is that the hottiest NK solder ever keeps her safe and worries about her. Oh poor her, lol. … Continue reading →
One reason I’m extra steamed about the suckiness of Vagabond was that the stupidity didn’t even have the temerity to come with a side of silly OTP satisfaction. The leads never connected emotionally so I was stuck watching a dumber than bricks investigative shoot ’em up. That’s why I think even if upcoming tvN drama Crash Landing on You is … Continue reading →
It’s funny that I just finished watching the final two episodes of When the Camellia Blooms before seeing the new drama character stills for the four leads of Crash Landing on You. Camellia has its limitations that prevent it from being a perfect drama but the successful creation of fully human, flawed, and slice-of-life characters is it’s top selling point. … Continue reading →

While recent year K-dramas have branched out into fantasy, sci-fi, darker fare, and really a world’s away from the early 2000 dramas that launched Hallyu, upcoming tvN drama Crash Landing on You brings viewers back 20 years into the fairy tale world of the rich and improbable.

I don’t know why but the cheesier tvN drama Crash Landing on You looks the more excited I’m getting. It’s like the drama is being intentionally doofy in set up and even the cast seems in on the joke. At least that’s the vibe I’m getting from the second drama teaser just released where Son Ye Jin is hanging on … Continue reading →
Another drama still has emerged for upcoming tvN romance Crash Landing on You and it’s pretty old school Hallyu-rrific, if that’s your cup of tea. Female lead Son Ye Jin appears to pat male lead Hyun Bin on the head with a small smile of her face while he’s intently staring at her. He’s wearing his North Korean military officer … Continue reading →
