[Drama 2019-2020] Crash Landing on you, 사랑의 불시착

[Kurniva86]

I love episode 16 very much I’ve memorised all the dialogues in that episode now. Last time I rewatched it I even turned off the subtitles so that not to be distracted by the subs and I could focus on their acting and emotions and all. I just love it so much. This has inspired me to learn Korean now, maybe I should start looking for Korean classes.

I'm sad that the thread is slowing down... 

 

Anyway, I have been writing a fanfiction for JH and SR to nurse my addiction... Two of my long standing gripes is that the period that they weren't in contact weren't colored much for us and the fact that there wasn't enough OTP screen-time in the closing episode. 

I was wondering if I can get suggestions/thoughts on scenes or even plot lines that I can explore before they decide on a future.  

 

DM me... or if its ok to discuss here, then go for it

Wow, an article from NYT

Covid-19 epidemic spreads, Hyun Bin writes letters in four languages to fans

 

 

 Actor Hyun Bin was worried about the safety of the whole world when the Covid-19 epidemic is spreading.

On February 21, through the official SNS of the management company, Hyun Bin expressed, "You might be spending day after day anxious and worrying over the Coronavirus disease 2019 which is occurring all over the world and throughout Asia including China and Japan as well as Korea. I’d like to ask after your health at least by writing to express my worry over whether the place you are at is safe."

Then, he added, "Just as we’ve always overcome difficulties by cheering each other on despite difficult times, I hope the Coronavirus disease 2019 passes by as soon as possible. I also appreciate those working tirelessly day and night to eradicate the virus, and I will cheer them on until the end. Furthermore, I sincerely wish the quick recovery of those suffering from its infection."

Hyun Bin also wrote posts in English, Japanese, and Chinese to show his sincerity to international fans. He satisfied fans with the message, "Again, I hope all those reading this are able to maintain their safety and health from the virus and I will pray this incident safely passes by. February 21, 2020. Hyunbin."

 

Hyun Bin has completely conquered the small screen audience with the role of Ri Jeong Hyeok in the drama "Crash Landing On You" (tvN). His next work is a movie named "Bargaining". This movie is about the kidnapping of Koreans taking place in the Middle East with the content about saving the victims.

On the other hand, Korea is also in a difficult situation because of the Covid-19 pneumonia epidemic originating in Wuhan, China. Because of patient number 31 (a follower of the Shincheonji), the number of infected people in Korea has exceeded 200 and 2 people died in this country. As a result, people nationwide are in greater fear than ever.

Yoo Soo Bin Talks About What It Was Like To Work With Son Ye Jin, Hyun Bin, And Choi Ji Woo In “Crash Landing On You”

Feb 21, 2020

by S. Cho

 

 

Yoo Soo Bin, one of the rising stars from tvN’s “Crash Landing On You,” has shared some behind-the-scenes stories from the drama.

 

In “Crash Landing On You,” Yoo Soo Bin played North Korean soldier Kim Ju Meok, a K-drama fanatic. After meeting Son Ye Jin‘s character Yoon Se Ri, he hilariously played the middle man between her and his fellow soldiers to “translate” between North and South Korean using his knowledge attained from watching dramas.
 

He commented on working with Son Ye Jin, saying, “She is so beautiful so I was very nervous, but I was able to comfortably act because she took care of me like an older sister.” He continued, “I think our chemistry was even better thanks to her meticulous consideration.”

 

Yoo Soo Bin also referred to Hyun Bin as an actor he wants to be like, sharing, “He has incredible passion for acting. I was shocked to see him work so passionately with the responsibility that one has to have as an actor. He kept us all balanced so we were able to act without concerns.” He added that it was an honor to have gotten to work with Hyun Bin, explaining, “In the future, I want to become an actor like Hyun Bin who does not lose sight of his original intentions.”

 

On top of being a K-drama fanatic, Kim Ju Meok was also known to be a huge fan of Choi Ji Woo and her drama “Starway to Heaven.” As a parting gift, Yoon Se Ri promises to help him meet Choi Ji Woo, which he is finally able to do when he crosses into South Korea.

 

Regarding Choi Ji Woo’s surprise cameo, Yoo Soo Bin shared, “Since we had to act together as soon as we met, I was very nervous and embarrassed. I think she might’ve noticed I was nervous so she approached me first, saying, ‘I’ve been enjoying the drama.’ She even made jokes so I was ultimately able to film comfortably. My meeting with Choi Ji Woo was personally an extremely precious and meaningful scene. I want to thank the writer for including that scene and Choi Ji Woo for acting with me.”

 

Yoo Soo Bin also addressed their parody of an iconic “Stairway to Heaven” scene, saying, “It was originally written in the script but I felt pressured to really make the scene memorable. I didn’t want to purposefully make it funny and make fun of Kwon Sang Woo. I acted as Kim Ju Meok and expressed the scene seriously.”

 

“Crash Landing On You” aired its finale on February 16 and recorded the highest viewership ratings in tvN history.

Kim Jung Hyun Discusses The Fate Of His Character In tvN’s “Crash Landing On You”

Feb 21, 2020

by J. Lim

 

 

Kim Jung Hyun recently sat down for an interview to discuss what happened to his character at the end of tvN’s hit drama “Crash Landing on You.”

 

“Crash Landing on You” told the story of Yoon Se Ri (Son Ye Jin), a wealthy South Korean heiress who is forced to make an emergency landing in North Korea during a paragliding trip due to unexpected high winds. There, she meets North Korean officer Ri Jung Hyuk (Hyun Bin), who falls in love with her while hiding her and trying to protect her. Kim Jung Hyun played the role of Goo Seung Jun, a businessman and con artist with a British nationality who had sympathy for Yoon Se Ri and love for Seo Dan (Seo Ji Hye).

 

He began by stating, “The drama ended with so much love being given to it. I think we were able to convey our hearts to all the many people who watched, and I find that so meaningful. The wrap party was great, and I’ve been so happy.”

 

Kim Jung Hyun shared that at the wrap party, screenwriter Park Ji Eun came up to him and thanked him for doing so well in the drama. “She said, ‘Everyone’s going crazy over Seung Jun dying. I feel like my life is in danger.'” Though it had a risky move, it had been one that left a lasting impression on viewers as Goo Seung Jun was shot and gave his life trying to save Seo Dan.

 

Kim Jung Hyun said, “To be honest, even up till when I received the script for episode 15, I didn’t know that my character would be dying. I was shot at the end of that episode so I asked director Lee Jung Hyo if I was dying and he said, ‘I don’t know, but I don’t think so? Things have only just begun for your character, I’m sure you’ll live.’ But then I read the script for episode 16, and I died. I kept reading till the epilogue hoping that my character would survive, but I was still dead.”

 

He added, “Though, as an actor, it would be better for me if I’m able to film more scenes, I was able to feel that Seung Jun was loved by the viewers. I know that there are some viewers who believe that Goo Seung Jun is alive and well somewhere. I think if that’s what people want to believe, then he could be happily living in peace somewhere. If given room for interpretation, I believe he could be alive.”

 

Kim Jung Hyun expressed that he was satisfied about leaving such a big impact on viewers with his character’s death. He said, “When we went to the wrap party after we finished filming the last episode, everyone was talking about how it was a shame that my character died. To have people thinking about and feeling bad for my character is something I’m very grateful for as an actor. I’m grateful and satisfied. If you think about it in a different way, I wonder if Seung Jun could have had a happy ending that was as happy as Se Ri and Jung Hyuk’s, and I think in that aspect, maybe it was the best decision for him to die when he did.”

 

Other than his death scene, Kim Jung Hyun has had many memorable scenes in the drama, some of which including when he ripped a plane ticket with his mouth and when he used a rifle. Kim Jung Hyun said, “In the script, it said to just rip the ticket but I came up with the idea to rip it with my mouth. I think it came out well because the camera director is so talented. My mother really likes that scene.” He also shared that his friends often talk about the ticket and gun shooting scenes and added, “I feel like the scenes came out much better than I could have hoped for with more emotions. I spent a lot of time filming the gun shooting scenes, and I think it was worth it.”

 

Finally, Kim Jung Hyun stated that he had become energized through “Crash Landing on You.” He said, “Being able to be a part of such a great project makes me feel like I have a medal I can wear with pride every day. Many people watched over me through this drama and I was able to share a warm but intense story. I think, no matter what project I return with next, I will do my best to choose one that delivers a message to viewers.” He promised to shorten his time between projects, and after a quick break, he will be looking into offers for his next work.
 

“Crash Landing on You” ended on February 16, setting a new record for the highest viewership ratings in tvN history, scoring an average nationwide rating of 21.683 percent and a peaking in real-time ratings at 24.1 percent.

That's so awesome about HB writing the fan letters! It's also great to see all the articles coming out from the cast praising and supporting each other that shows such respect and appreciation for themselves and their craft...love it! I have thought many times that I hope HB to be the genuine thoughtful person he portrays himself to be. I know in SK they are much more careful and private with their lives and held to a higher standard than the celebrities here in the US. It's not uncommon to hear stories of scandals here on a regular basis. My ultimate dream is to visit SK one day. My husband finally said he'd take me lol! My fascination with kdrama....aside from the obvious insanely beautiful men and women is the culture they represent. Respect, loyalty, pride, discipline, PASSION, and even yelling haha...just being real. They love and hurt and keep loving. I know it's fiction but based on what I've studied those things are very true to form as the way of life in SK. 

Btw...you know you have it bad when you are walking through the grocery store humming Photo In My Head by Song Ga In....what to do. Has anyone by chance found the IU song with violin intro that's played in the drama? All I find is one that starts with whistling

Question:

Some people are really unhappy with CLOY because Jeong Hyeok is cheating on Seo Dan.

How will you justify that JH was cheating on SD or not?

I don’t view it as him cheating on Seo Dan. As Dan’s mother herself said, the two were not married, how could Dan have had an “affair”? Same logic for JH I feel. And he was honourable too — he came clean with Dan and told her he was in love with someone else.There was nothing sneaky about their relationship once he was clear about it. And before that, there was no sneaking around either.

[softestfairy]

Seo Dan's ending is gonna bother me for a while. It was just so unnecessarily cruel...even down to that fortune teller saying she's basically going to die alone. Oh but she'll be successful. I know they're pushing the strong, independent message and yes, Seo Dan was very strong, but what happened was a tragedy.

 

It's like she wasted 10 years and she's grappling with that, and was finally given a glimmer of hope and true happiness only for it to be violently be snatched away for no good reason at all. That whole storyline left a bad taste in my mouth. 

[INeedAFan]

It’s Saturday and I just want to rewatch the entire series.

[thistle]

Just thought I'd share a link to an interesting article I read published on the BBC today about CLOY and the North Korean defector who worked on the drama:

 

Crash Landing on You: The defector who brought North-South Korean romance to life

 

Quote

An implausible love story in which a (literally) high-flying South Korean heiress accidentally paraglides into North Korea, lands on a soldier and falls in love with him has become the latest Korean drama smash hit.

 

Crash Landing on You is in many ways a typical K-drama romance, but has been widely praised for its well-researched and nuanced portrayal of North Korea, something it achieved by having a real-life North Korean defector on its writing team, as BBC Korean's Subin Kim explains.

 

With his broad shoulders and thick torso, Kwak Moon-wan has all the appearance of a bodyguard.

That's probably because until 2004, he served with the Supreme Guard Command, the elite security force which protects North Korea's ruling Kim family.....

 

It's quite a long article and worth reading.

 

[INeedAFan]

Although I‘ve found this scene cringeworthy when I first watched it, I keep on replaying it .
