Premise
Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) is a successful South Korean businesswoman and chaebol heiress. One day, while paragliding in Seoul, she is blown off course by a tornado and crash-lands in the North Korean portion of the DMZ. Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin), a member of the North Korean elite and a captain in the Korean People's Army is patrolling and discovers Se-ri. He is persuaded to hide her and help her return to the South.
Plot
One day, while Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) is paragliding in Seoul, a sudden tornado blows her off course and knocks her out. She awakens to find her paraglide hanging in a tree in a forest in the North Korean portion of the DMZ. There she meets Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin), who eventually gives her shelter and develops plans to help her return to South Korea secretly. Over time, they fall in love, despite the divide between their respective countries.
Back in South Korea, Yoon Se-ri's family suppresses the news of her disappearance, fearing it will depress the stock price of Queens Group. Just before Se-ri went missing, her retiring father had told his family that he intended to make her his successor, based on her ability as a businesswoman, which she proved by building her own company, Seri's Choice. Her half-brothers, Yoon Se-jun (Choi Dae-hoon) and Yoon Se-hyung (Park Hyung-soo), each hoped to be their father's replacement but they have struggled to manage the subsidiaries under their control. The brothers are supported by equally-ambitious wives, Do Hye-ji (Hwang Woo-seul-hye) and Go Sang-ah (Yoon Ji-min), respectively. In Se-ri's absence, Se-hyung uses unscrupulous means to win the succession battle, while his wife Sang-ah attempts to take over Se-ri's Choice.
Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok's story is intertwined with that of Seo Dan (Seo Ji-hye) and Gu Seung-jun (Kim Jung-hyun). Dan is the sophisticated daughter of a wealthy North Korean department store owner. She has been studying the cello in Russia for several years but returns to marry Jeong-hyeok, to whom she is engaged through an arranged marriage though they have only met a few times. As she returns to Pyongyang, she crosses paths more than once with Gu Seung-jun, who has fled to North Korea (with the protection of corrupt North Korean officials) in order to escape the pursuit of Se-hyung, under whose incompetent watch he had embezzled large amounts of funds.
The first half of the story (episodes 1–9) follows Jeong-hyeok's attempts to hide Se-ri and facilitate her return to South Korea. They are impeded by Cho Cheol-gang (Oh Man-seok), a corrupt and ruthless officer from the Ministry of State Security, who previously arranged the murder of Jeong-hyeok's elder brother, an officer who tried to expose him for crimes against the North Korean regime. Jeong-hyeok's attachment to Se-ri distresses not only Dan, his fiancée, but also his father, a high-ranking political figure. If it became known that Jeong-hyeok harbored a South Korean citizen, it could be used by rival officials to ruin their family.
In the second half of the story (episodes 10–16), Se-ri has returned to South Korea and resumes leadership of her company, surprising her family and others who had thought her dead. Cheol-gang is convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment but escapes custody and infiltrates South Korea to go after Se-ri for revenge. Jeong-hyeok goes to South Korea to protect Se-ri from Cheol-gang. His subordinates follow, sent to Seoul by his father to retrieve him. Meanwhile, in North Korea, despite hostile initial encounters, Dan and Seung-jun fall in love and she shelters him when corrupt officers betray him to Se-hyung's gangsters.
Cast
Main
- Hyun Bin as Ri Jeong-hyeok
- Lee Chun-moo as young Ri Jeong-hyeok
- Kim Seung-chan as teenage Ri Jeong-hyeok
A proficient but emotionally-reserved captain of Company Five in the Korean People's Army who is stationed along the North Korean portion of the DMZ. He is well-respected by the unit he leads and the locals of the rural village he resides in. A piano prodigy, he was studying to become a concert pianist in Switzerland before being forced to join the North Korean military after his elder brother died in a mysterious car accident. While he comes from a powerful political family, his father being the Director of the General Political Bureau, he prefers to hide his lineage in order to secretly investigate his elder brother's death. He protects Se-ri after she accidentally crash-lands into his patrol territory. As he tries to help Se-ri find her way back into South Korea, he begins to fall in love with her and realizes that he has met her before when he was travelling in Switzerland with Dan.
A successful South Korean CEO and chaebol heiress. She has a troubled family history as she is her father's illegitimate child, resulting in a strained relationship with her stepmother due to a childhood misunderstanding. She is also involved in an upcoming family succession battle, the latter making her the target of resentment from her half-brothers and their wives. After she rejects her brother's attempt to force her into an arranged marriage that would send her to the United Kingdom, she has numerous casual relationships with celebrities, but never develops any close companionships. She is nonetheless an independently wealthy businesswoman who runs her own successful fashion and beauty company, Seri's Choice. She is known for being a demanding boss, and a picky eater who practices intermittent fasting. She meets Jeong-hyeok after accidentally crash-landing in North Korea due to a paragliding accident, and falls in love with him as he shelters her in the North Korean military housing, where she becomes close to the ajummas and four of his subordinates.
A North Korean department store heiress and aspiring cellist who is also Jeong-hyeok's fiancée through an affianced marriage arranged by their parents. While she has been infatuated with Jeong-hyeok since they were middle-school classmates, he doesn't reciprocate her feelings but agrees to the marriage out of a sense of duty towards his parents. Before the wedding, Dan desperately tries to prevent the marriage from becoming a sham after realising that Jeong-hyeok has never loved her from the start. She eventually falls for Seung-jun.
An intelligent, charming, but poor South Korean conman with British citizenship. After his father was scammed by Se-ri's father, leading to his family's bankruptcy, he ingratiates himself with Se-ri's brother, Se-hyung, in order to embezzle from Queens Group. Se-hyung attempts to marry off Se-ri to Seung-jun, but Se-ri senses his ill intentions on their first meeting and rejects him. Seung-jun nonetheless successfully cheats a fortune from the company under Se-hyung's watch, and flees to North Korea to avoid arrest, while under the pursuit of gangsters hired by Se-hyung. He eventually falls for Dan after they run into each other on many occasions.

Production
The series reunited Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin after their first collaboration in the 2018 film The Negotiation.
Development
The premise of Crash Landing on You was inspired by a real event involving South Korean actress Jung Yang.[14] [3] [15] In September 2008, Yang and three others had to be rescued after bad fog had caused their leisure boat to drift "into the maritime boundary between North and South Korea".[14] [16] Park Ji-eun, the drama's screenwriter,[14] was introduced to North Korean defector turned film adviser and writer Kwak Moon-wan, who became part of the writing team.[17] Kwak, who studied film directing in Pyongyang and had also been a member of an elite security force protecting the Kims, helped in crafting the plot and in conceptualizing the setting and scenes portraying North Korean life.[18]
Netflix's investment also helped the show to garner the budget of US$20 million.
Filming
The production process proved to be "painstakingly meticulous", owing both to South Korea's relationship with North Korea, as well as to avoid any unintentional violations of the 1948 National Security Act which forbids public praise or propaganda of North Korea and the Kim family.[19] The script avoided the use of the honorific Chairman to refer to North Korea's leaders, as well as visible propaganda signs and mentions of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, or Kim Jong Un (while their mandatory portraits were usually either blurred or obscured by the camera angles). In addition, the North Korean lapel pins used by North Korean characters were one third smaller than their actual size.[20] Props manager Joo Dong-man said the crew did not have a "guidebook on multiple hurdles he had to hop over — skillfully and delicately — to accurately depict the country while dodging criticism" and, thus, had to be careful "not to misrepresent the state". Their research was also guided by North Koreans living in South Korea.[3] [19]
The first script reading took place on July 31, 2019, in Sangam-dong, Seoul, and filming overseas started at the end of August 2019.[21] North Korean scenes were shot in South Korea and Mongolia.[3] Scenes that took place in Switzerland were shot on location.[3] The village of Iseltwald, one such location, experienced a tourism boom as a result.[22] [23]

Chart performance
Reception
Commercial performance
With 1.75 billion online views, Crash Landing on You outperformed the prior leader, Mr. Sunshine, as of February 17, 2020.[41] The drama's success helped to boost brand items due to product placement. The lead characters portrayed by Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin ate Gold Olive Chicken, a product which had a 100% sales improvement due to the show.[42] There was also an increase in sales of the Swarovski earrings worn by Son Ye-jin.[43]
International response
Crash Landing on You was a huge success in China. The hashtag for the final episode received over 460 million views on Weibo.[44] The drama's main streaming website, which holds the copyright in China, crashed on the night it aired the final episode due to the sheer number of users.[45]
The show was also extremely popular in Japan during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic via Netflix.[46] [47] While the Korean Wave is a historically prominent component of media within Japan, Crash Landing on You has been uniquely influential there, in part due to its portrayal of daily life in North Korea. The series was featured on Japanese-Netflix's top 10 for an astonishing 69 consecutive weeks.[48]
In the Philippines, many viewers noted similarities between the plot line and the political narrative of the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.[49]
In the United States, Variety named Crash Landing on You one of "The Best International Shows on Netflix",[50] and one of the "Best International TV Series of 2020".[51] Time also ranked it as one of the best Korean dramas on Netflix.[52] Elle ranked it number 1 (out of 10) on the October 2020 "10 Best K-Dramas To Binge-Watch On Netflix" list,[53] and Vogue listed it as one of "Netflix: 4 Korean dramas to discover this summer".[54] Boy Genius Report ranked it number 2 of the five "K-dramas you absolutely must watch on Netflix".[55] BuzzFeed listed it as number 3 of the "Top 27 best K-dramas on Netflix".[56] Forbes noted that it ranked number 1 out of the top 10 on a Netflix's Instagram list of its most romantic series,[57] and Screen Rant ranked it as having the number 2 (out of the top 10) "tear-jerking scenes in K-dramas".[58] In addition, Jo Walker of The Guardians "Stream Team" called it "addictively off-the-wall, heartbreaking and hilarious".[59] Adella Suliman and Stella Kim of NBC News also suggested that the drama "features all the ingredients a viewer could wish for" and has "drawn a global audience of millions, many no doubt searching for entertainment as they while away their time in coronavirus-related lockdowns".[60] Wadzanai Mhute of The Daily Beast argues that Crash Landing on You, "was a cultural phenomenon in its native South Korea, and it's gone criminally overlooked in the States, where it's available to stream on Netflix".[61] Megan O'Keefe of Decider states that, "Crash Landing on You is a show unlike anything you've ever seen. It has insane action sequences, glorious montages of wealth porn, unblinking looks at the impoverished lives of everyday North Koreans, and one of the most heart-wrenching love stories in ages. With 16 90-minute-long episodes, it's truly a feast to be savored and the perfect antidote to the winter quarantine blues."[62] Al Jazeera stated that it is a Hallyu success.[63]
Representation of and reception in South and North Korea
General
Although the series is a work of fiction, it has received positive reviews from North Korean defectors for its depiction of everyday life in North Korea. At the same time, some details, such as the availability of food, relatively warm behavior of the army and the ease with which the characters cross the border have been criticized.[64] [65] Kim Ah-ra, one of the extras who portrayed a North Korean villager, is a writer and actress from North Korea who states that she felt "like [she] was actually back in a North Korean village".
Kwak Moon-wan, a North Korean defector, who had served with the Supreme Guard Command (which protects the ruling Kim family) worked as an adviser for the series, providing the writers with details about life in North Korea as well as North Korean governmental agencies that added credibility to the show.[66] He acknowledged some of the criticism, admitting that he has taken liberties with the depiction of North Korea (such as not mentioning food shortages), but rejected the claim that he was glamorizing the regime or drawing a false equivalence, saying that the show also depicted some of the darker aspect of life under the regime, such as the issue of kotjebi (child homelessness) and the frequent power cuts. Some North Korean refugees, such as Chun Hyo-jin, who defected from the border village of Hyesan at the age of nineteen, tend to agree: "Even if what they say, that it glamorizes North Korea, is true, would they choose to live there? I don't think so." Even though the drama leaves political matters aside, which are essential to the North Korea issue as she sees it, she says it still is of great significance: "Its depiction of North Korea is a bit far from reality, but it has made the people interested in North Korea."[67] The drama's producer Lee Jung-hyo said during a press conference in Seoul in December: "I know some people are uncomfortable about our subject, North Korea, but we don't portray a wholly authentic North Korea in our drama. Most settings are closer to a fantasy, although some aspects do reflect real North Korean life."[68]
Kang Na-ra, a North Korean defector who advised the show's production team, stated that about 60% of North Korea's depiction in the show is accurate:[69] "The richer families in North Korea like to show off their wealth by adding lace curtains to their windows. So that was pretty well portrayed." She also appreciated the detail about kimchi caves: "Since rural North Korea doesn't get electricity, they don't have refrigerators. They have kimchi caves where they store kimchi, and that was also recreated well."[70] House checks are also a regular affair. She revealed that she once had to hide inside a furnace at the house of the broker who helped her escape in order to avoid detection. In the drama, the heiress has to hide in the kimchi storage area when security forces come knocking one night. As depicted in the drama, North Koreans are allowed to choose only from a fixed list of hair styles — 18 for women and 28 for men. Kang said that "there's a punishment for you if you don't comply" in an interview with YouTube channel DKDKTV.[71] On the other hand, as she explained in a YouTube video, the characters were able to slip across the border much more easily than in real life: "I had to pay a broker 10 million won (US$8,400) to swim across the Yalu river [which borders North Korea and China] while being shot at from behind by soldiers [when I escaped]."[72] Cartoonist Choi Seong-guk, who defected to the South in 2011, also said the drama set is 60% accurate. The portrayal of jangmadang, or local markets where all kinds of goods, including imports from South Korea, are sold is especially real, he told The Sunday Times. However, he felt that the drama "glamorized the soldiers too much, almost to an uncomfortable extent". He said North Korean men enter the military when they are 17 and serve for 10 to 13 years, and "during this time, they are...ruthless and harsh, robbing homes and raping women at night". Still, he hopes the drama will make its way to North Korea and go viral: "I hope the North Koreans who see this drama will realize how positively the South Koreans think of them and learn to change."
There were also critical responses to the themes of the drama in both regions. In January 2020, The Christian Liberal Party (CLP) filed a complaint in South Korea against tvN at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, accusing the network of glamorizing North Korea through this series, in violation of the National Security Law.[73] [74] [75] Then, in March 2020, a few North Korean media outlets criticized unnamed South Korean programs and films that explored relations between North and South Korea. While Crash Landing on You was not directly mentioned by the media outlets, it was perceived to be among the referenced works. Another is the 2019 film Ashfall, although that film was also not directly cited in the articles.[76] [77]
Scholarship
Stephen Epstein (Victoria University of Wellington) and Christopher Green (Leiden University) suggest that while Crash Landing on You is formulaic, it also "is a crucial text for evaluating ongoing change in South Korean popular representations of its neighbour. Indeed, given the concerted use of North Korean backdrops in Crash Landing on You and the size and global extent of its audiences, the show is likely the most noteworthy South Korean popular culture representation of North Korea yet produced."[78] Yun Suk-jin, a professor at Chungnam National University concurs, noting that the series "changed the stereotypes on North Korea and candidly showed that it too is a place where people live". Sarah A. Son, lecturer in Korean Studies at the University of Sheffield also agrees, noting that Crash Landing on You responds to the "socio-cultural divide" between the North and the South, which academic scholarship cites as one of the biggest obstacles to future unification. Son argues that "through the re-framing of stereotypes, albeit with some creative licence, Crash Landing on You arguably humanises the North for its audience in ways that inter-Korean dialogue has not in recent years. Despite its soft-focus romanticisation of the political situation, Crash Landing on You brings the pain of the division to a personal level for a generation of Koreans who, unlike their grandparents, have no memory of what it was like to be a single nation."
Joanna Elfving-Hwang, associate professor of Korean Studies at the University of Western Australia notes that "North Korea tends to appear in our imagination as the 'axis of evil', we think of [negative things like] nuclear weapons and human rights abuses...this drama has dared to think about North Korean people differently and represented them as quite human and quite Korean". Steve Hung Lok-wai, a Korean Affairs expert from the Chinese University of Hong Kong states that the drama sidestepped larger political issues through a narrative that did not end with the male lead's defection: "Lots of people questioned whether the male lead, the North Korean soldier, would end up defecting to the South for love, but they were able to sidestep that scenario and gave it a plausible ending where the two would meet in Switzerland." This, he argues, is "quite smart because they avoided all the real taboos but made it believable enough where it would make people think about these political problems". John Delury, a professor at Yonsei University, praised the series for its decision to draw parallels between powerful families in both the South and the North, and to humanize North Koreans beyond generic stereotypes.[79]
Viewership
The series was a huge rating success in South Korea despite airing on tvN, a cable channel/pay TV, which normally has a relatively smaller audience compared to free-to-air TV/public broadcasters (KBS, SBS, MBC and EBS). It is currently the fourth highest-rated drama in Korean cable television history.[80] The final episode's ratings made it the second highest-rated drama in Korean cable television history at that time, overtaking fellow tvN dramas Reply 1988 and , until it was finally surpassed by JTBC's The World of the Married and Reborn Rich.[81]
