Crash Landing On Us!  Swiss Village Reels From Netflix Fame

"It's a dream come true," said Filipina tourist Isabel Palijon, staring in wonder at a wooden pier framed by the turquoise waters of a Swiss lake and the towering Alps behind.

And she is not alone. Ever since the hugely popular South Korean series "Crash Landing on You" aired a romantic scene shot on this very spot, the picturesque village of Iseltwald has been overrun by Asian tourists.

 

The Netflix hit tells the unlikely story of a South Korean billionaire heiress who accidentally paraglides into the peninsula's demilitarised zone, crashing landing onto a chivalrous army officer serving North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

 

Several flashbacks in the show take place in Switzerland, including a riveting romantic scene on Iseltwald's wooden pier, where the male lead plays a beautiful piano melody that echoes across the water as the girl he will later fall in love with arrives by ferry from Interlaken.

 

decided to run for cover.

- 'Romantic' -

"I wish someday someone would do that for me," said Jiah Hni Gwee, a 35-year-old from Malaysia, looking longingly at the spot on the pier where the piano stood.

 

"It would be amazing and romantic."

 

She was among dozens of tourists milling around the lakeside on a sunny day last week, as a large steamboat bearing a giant Swiss flag pulled up to the nearby dock, teeming with visitors.

The breathtaking scenery and the romantic setting have made the pier a must-see for so-called "CLOY" fans who make it to Europe.

 

The 16-part series started airing just as Covid-19 began and it became a must-watch in much of Asia during pandemic lockdowns.

 

A South Korean culture ministry survey found that CLOY was the second-most popular K-drama show among foreign viewers in 2021 after "Squid Game".

 

 

- 'Overwhelming' -

But its success has caused an unexpected headache for Iseltwald, especially since last year when travel restrictions were lifted across much of Asia.

 

"The numbers have exploded," local tourism office manager Titia Weiland told AFP.

She said it was difficult to calculate how many CLOY tourists had come but estimated that "for every local person living here, it's been 1,000 visitors".

She stressed that "almost everybody in Iseltwald -- population 400 -- is happy to have many tourists," but acknowledged "it has been quite overwhelming".
 

Last summer, up to 20 coaches began arriving each day, clogging traffic and sometimes blocking access to the village.

And locals complain that CLOY fans typically rush to the pier for a picture before moving on, often leaving a mess but little money.

 

In a bid to deal with the influx, the municipality last month announced only pre-booked coaches that pay for reserved parking spots will be let in.

And it installed a turnstile at the pier, which tourists can pass for a "selfie fee" of five Swiss francs ($5.50).

 

- 'Paradise on Earth' -

Sonja Hornung, the manager of the Strand Hotel that overlooks the pier, said the measures had made a difference and her restaurant gives customers a turnstile token. 

 

"Last year, it was terrible, (but) it has gotten much better," she said, hailing the slot system that has dramatically reduced the number of coaches.

Some tourists, however, were a bit dismayed by the turnstile -- and the price.

 

"Oh, five francs!" Florita Lichtensteiger, a 64-year-old Filipina living in Switzerland, exclaimed as she showed up with several visiting relatives.

She grudgingly paid for them to go through, but did not follow, saying she had been here at least 10 times before. "All my guests want to see this place."

 

"It's not worth it," said Nayeon Park, a 21-year-old from South Korea.

 

Weiland insisted that the payment was needed for the upkeep of the pier, which had seen the number of people walking on it skyrocket.

 

"It has to be safe."

Iseltwald "is like paradise on Earth," she said. "We want to really try to keep it that way."

'Crash Landing on You' Filming Swiss Village, Busy with Tourists… inherit the toll

Fans flock to Lake Village with a population of 400 and traffic congestion... 7,000 won charge

[SEOUL = YONHAP NEWS | Reporter Lee Do-yeon]
The Swiss lake village, which was one of the main filming locations for the Korean drama 'Crash Landing on You', is bustling with drama fans. 

AFP reported on the 9th (local time) that residents of Iseltwald, a small lake town with a population of 400, which was the filming location for "Crash Landing on You," began to collect tolls as tourists flocked to the point where they could not afford it. 

The drama "Crash Landing on You", which aired from 2019 to 2020, tells the story of South Korean chaebol second-generation Yoon Se-ri, who crashes into North Korea due to a paragliding accident and falls in love with North Korean military officer Ri Jeong-hyeok. 

This drama, which recorded a high viewership rating of more than 20% at the time of domestic airing, gained explosive popularity, especially in Asia, when Netflix was released and the early blockade of the Corona 19 pandemic (pandemic) coincided. 

As the lead actors Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin became lovers in real life and got married last year, the topic of the drama continued. 

Iseltwald served as the background for the scene where Lee Jeong-hyeok plays the piano while thinking of his older brother while studying in Switzerland, and Yun Se-ri accidentally hears Lee Jeong-hyeok playing.  

Since last year, Asian countries have become free to travel overseas, and the number of tourists visiting this place, where 'Crash Landing on You' was filmed, has increased. 

In particular, the lakeside pier where Ri Jeong-hyeok's piano was placed became a must-visit place for tourists to take pictures.

"It would be amazing and romantic if someone did that for me," said Gianna Gwee (35), a tourist from Malaysia, looking at the lakeside pier where Ri Jeong-hyeok's piano was placed. 

"The number of tourists has exploded," said Titia Vaillant, an employee at the local tourism office.

 

 

Local residents are not happy with the influx of tourists. As the number of tour buses entering the village increases, traffic jams occur and the access road to the village is blocked. 

Residents also complain that 'Crash Landing on You' fans take pictures on the pier and make a mess of it, paying little to no money. 

“Almost everyone in Iseltwald is delighted with the increase in tourists, but it is also difficult to handle,” said Vaillant. 

For this reason, the local government introduced a reservation system in the parking lot last month and announced that only reserved buses can enter. 

In addition, a ticket gate was installed at the pier on the lakeside, and it was necessary to pay 5 Swiss francs (7,200 won) to enter the pier.  

Sonya Hornung, a staff member at the hotel overlooking the pier, said that the system has significantly reduced the number of buses entering the town. "Last year was terrible, but this year is much better." 

Vaillant also emphasized that as the number of people walking on the pier has increased rapidly, they have to get paid to maintain the pier. "Iseltwald is like a paradise on earth and we want to keep it that way." 

However, some tourists are disappointed that they have to pay.  

Florita Lichtensti Tiger, 64, a Filipino living in Switzerland, said that only her relatives who came with her paid to enter and she did not go in alone. 

"Five Swiss francs," he said in amazement.

Hyun Bin And Son Ye Jin’s Romantic Filming Location In Switzerland Now Charges Tourists Who Want To Visit

 

It’s where the couple love bloomed!

 

 

JUNE 10, 2023

BY RON KIM | KOREABOO

 

 

From the end of 2019 to 2020, tvN’s popular K-Drama Crash Landing on You had everyone’s hearts fluttering as they watched actors Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin fall in love on-screen—and off-screen.

 

 

Crash Landing on You is about a successful heiress and businesswoman named Yoon Se Ri (played by Son Ye Jin) who accidentally crash-lands into North Korea and meets the army captain, Ri Jeong Hyeok (played by Hyun Bin). The two fall in love despite the dispute between their respective countries.

 

Spoiler

 

The K-Drama was filmed in multiple locations in Switzerland, showing the beauty of the country. One of the filming locations was the Sigriswil Bridge, where Ri Jeong Hyeok unknowingly saves Yoon Se Ri’s life for the first time.

They also filmed the opening scene, where the two walked past each other in Lindenhof, Zurich.
 

 

The last scene of the last episode was also filmed in Switzerland—more specifically, Lake Lungern, a lake by the shore of the town of Lungern known for its views of the valley that looks like a scene out of a fairy tale.

 

One of the most famous filming locations for Crash Landing on You that fans enjoy visiting is Lake Brienz in a tiny village named Iseltwald. This was where Ri Jeong Hyeok played the piano without knowing he was saving Yoon Se Ri, who heard him from afar.

 

Spoiler

 

 

The lake is known for its wooden landing dock that overlooks the beautiful turquoise-blue water and the Alps that sit as the backdrop.

Iseltwald has a population of 400, but many tourists started to visit Lake Brienz after the popularity of Crash Landing on You. According to Switzerland’s local media report, about 400,000 people visited the site last year. However, villagers experienced inconveniences due to noise, garbage, and traffic congestion caused by the many tourists.

 

Therefore, Iseltwald introduced a new reservation system in the parking lot so that only buses that make reservations ahead of time could pass. In addition, the village installed a ticket gate by the pier of the lake so that tourists who want to visit must pay a toll fee of 5 Swiss francs, which is about ₩7,200 KRW (about $5.59 USD).

 

Meanwhile, Crash Landing on You had a record of the highest viewer rating of 21.7% (according to Nielson Korea) and set a record for tvN K-drama ratings.

 

Spoiler

 

The show received more love when fans learned that Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin developed from being an on-screen couple to a real couple. The two tied the knot last year and gave birth to a son later that year.
