Aterrizaje de emergencia en tu corazón (2019)

nothing is stronger than love

Wow. It is just wow
I am so amazed right now, this kdrama is just so amazing. They showed me the value of love,the value of friendship,the value of everything. I realized that when someone loves a person they are willing to do everything (I mean everything) they can. The chemistry between the actors made me feel so warm, the hardships they all have been through,the sleepless nights, the power of friendship and love made everything stronger and made miracles to happen. To be honest this kdrama owns such a special place in my heart, the kdrama shows us how unexpected things can always happen and to be prepared for the worse,but also not to forget how amazing everything at the end can be,and this is all the power of love people have for each other. I am so happy that I watched CLOY because it made so happy. The love can beat the death,and this is what amazed me the most. Wow.

Late review of CLOY

I watched quite a lot of dramas, but this one will definitely remain my top favourite.



Plot: I found it interesting, because of the description. I love military mixed with romance so if you are looking for something like this then it's a must watch! The story is beautiful I wasn't bored at all while watching CLOY, I wanted to watch it slowly, but in the end I completed this series in 3 days.



Cast: OMG... This is literally a show in which I loved every character and especially main leads, because of this show I can't even look at their different pieces, for example I was watching Secret Garden yesterday cos I never got a chance and I couldn't finish it, I was just imagining Soon Ye-Jin with Hyun Bin and the same goes for Spellbound. They are just meant to be, sorry but I'm honest. I hope they will have another drama or movie together.



Music: Okay I loved the music here especially OST, I love Yoon Mi Rae because of Descendents Of The Sun so I was very happy to hear her song Flower in this series and the piano was perfect.




Rewatch value/Overall rating: I will definitely rewatch this when I will forget a little, because this is really something different and special for me. If you didn't watch it yet you should, it won't disappoint you.
PS: Sorry for late review I didn't get a chance to watch it sooner.

I loved the entire show. Son ye Jin's acting was a huge hit for me though I didn't like Hyun Bin's that much(probably cuz the character itself was not very expressive). The accuracy of portrayal of life in north Korea seemed unrealistic in a few places based on the information I had gathered from interviews of various NK defectors. The characters seemed to get around and out of NK way too easily and dress code in NK was not seen as being followed as strictly as people are actually forced to follow. However, the other traditions, lifestyle and daily routine of north Koreans like their fixed hairstyles, food etc. were very accurately shown leading to this drama becoming a very liked one among South Koreans, defectors and international viewers. A very different thing about this drama is how it portrayed the positives and negatives of ordinary life in NK super realistically. (If you want to know if CLOY has a sad, happy or bittersweet ending, read the first line of the next paragraph.




******* SPOILERS FROM HERE ON**********

P.S. This drama has a bittersweet ending. If like me, you regret watching dramas that don't end perfectly with everyone being happy, then this is not for you. However, I felt that I learnt a lot of things from this drama and don't regret watching it.

Every time Ri Jeong Hyeok and Yoon Se Ri reunited, Se Ri would burst into tears and her face mostly looked sad. I really wanted this drama to be a little more happy atleast with the smaller details. However, the whole thing has tragic events that keep following each other after Se Ri first leaves NK. Till then, I felt that it balanced light hearted humor and serious scenes very well. However, later things just became gloomier and gloomier and like the cliche romance between lovers from 2 different worlds they were unable to have a beautiful and happy life together permanently even at the end. The end was bittersweet. They manage to meet in Switzerland but it was only for 2 weeks in a year. And realistically, I don't think that will give them a healthy relationship. If Seri would wait for those 2 weeks every year, she would have to love him that much and I think the few months they spent together isn't enough to foster that kind of serious romance. However, I would definitely recommend this drama as it should fit most people's tastes other than mine.

Re-watch value: I don't particularly enjoy tragic k dramas, so this one is not for me. I have only managed to watch very funny k dramas for the second time. But after I know the plot twists and ending of the more serious kind of k dramas, I don't particularly enjoy re-watching them.

Quality performance, quality production values

This was my introduction to Korean drama, and a welcome relief to my frustration with contemporary American film and television. I really appreciated the ensemble work as well as the performances of the leads, and it was refreshing to watch a love story (no matter how unrealistic) that focused on admiration, intimacy (in the real sense), trust, attraction, etc., instead of sex. In that sense, it was truly romantic. I also enjoyed the sense of brotherhood among the soldiers because it did not rely on the insanity of battle and violence.

Also, who was able to walk away from this drama without wanting more Hyun Bin in their life? Definitely not me.

Im giving this ten stars, not because it was perfect (there were definitely things that could have been better - particularly in the writing), but because it piqued my interest in a way that very little entertainment has and it inspired me to see what Korean drama had to offer. Not going to lie, Hyun Bin certainly added to the score ;)

First off, I wasn't a big fan of Hyun bin, (Ive only seen Jekyll and hyde ad I greatly disliked him in it. I also greatly disliked the drama over all.) (Memories of Ahlambra sort of helped him to come on my plus side though). So I didn't go in with the highest expectations. I)'ve heard that this drama was good, but what I got wasn't what I expected at all.
I have laughed and cried with each characther. From the north korean ajhummas, to Jung hyuk's militray staff. Too SeRi's mother and staff. I got a deep feeling for each of the cast members, how I felt that no role was not needed.

The fact that SeRi felt so hated in her family yet her staff was so loyal towards her. I also loved how Jung Hyuk constant regret of his choice in the beginning was such a comical feature. Even if it most likely wasn't so, he couldn't keep his face straight, and that isn*t good for a north korean military man. Haha. But I spent most of the time laughing and crying with them and SeRi kind of crept into my heart and I felt her pain.

But when it comes to my one of my favorite actors in Korean dramas, I really felt for Kim Jung Hyun's Goo Seung Jun. When we got to know more about his past and his regrets and sorrows and revenge. I felt more for him, Also I'm so happy yo see Jung Hyun back on the screen (School 2017 is like my one all time favorite dramas. EVER). Honestly I wished for a better ending for Seung Jun but I also liked how he died happy. And didn't die with regrets. He got the girl and went out as her hero.

This drama basically made me re-discover my love for K-dramas. I won't go in full detail in my review, since plenty already have analyzed it much more eloquently, so I'll attempt to highlight the main reasons why it's worth watching.

1. The Chemistry: the chemistry between the leads is CRAZY. Even though there weren't any particularly steamy scenes (to my dismay I may add), the tension was palpable. It really helps that the main actors are so ridiculously good-looking. I mean, Hyun Bin is a god.

2. The Acting: All the actors involved did a phenomenal job. The acting was realistic and not cringy.

3. Production: Production was excellent, I loved how much thought went into every detail, especially with how they designed and set up the "North Korea" setting. Although we have very little information about that place, it truly felt like they brought it to life.

4. Story: The Story was both a pro and a con. While I loved the heartwarming dialogues between the characters and all the relationships, even the ones between the supporting roles such as the North Korean ladies, there were some plotlines that were just very far from realistic. HOWEVER, I've learned to love K-dramas even in all their absurdity, and this drama was actually one of the far less absurd ones. It all somehow works and it's helped majorly by the wonderful acting.

What I especially I loved about this show however, was, that apart from the authoritarian regime, it also depicted a more humane side of NK. I love how we got to sympathize with its residents and see how these universal feelings of solidarity, support, friendship and love permeate borders. The comic relief also helped take away from the bleakness of the strict environment. It helps to know, that even in the darkest of places -figuratively and literally- it's not always gloom and doom and people will find happiness in the smallest things, such as drinking soju from clam shells. :)

Why I deliberately watch the series after the rave died down

The drama was highly raved by netizens; as an avid k drama fan, I’ve never written reviews for Korean dramas (usually Chinese dramas) because I know that there are more people out there who watches Korean drama than mainland Chinese ones (not saying it’s bad)

So to give my 2 cents, I must say I bawled my eyes out for more than 5 episodes (for sure) while watching this series; a happy ending for sure, like how “The King” ended. Initially I thought I would have dropped the series halfway like how I did for DOTS and Goblin ( because they are so highly raved) but I can’t stop due to the plot. chemistry between Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin. Not to mention the supporting casts as well!

I laughed and cried well for this drama ~.~ it’s truly an amazing series to give up!

Not just a drama, but a door into a new world

This is the series with which I became acquainted with kdrama. And that's how I discovered South Korea, this wonderful country that churns out rom-coms like there's no tomorrow, that's full of not handsome, but ultra gorgeous men, that makes a kissing scene last 10 minutes (ahahha I love you Korean directors), that tells 16 hours of love story with sky-high sexual tension without showing a single piece of skin, that ends every episode with irresistible cliffhangers. Before Crash landing on you and kdramas, I had never spent an entire night watching TV. The meme of the guy hearing the birds outside the window and saying "i fucked up" now makes me laugh so hard. It's been three years and I'm now watching my 100th kdrama, Imitation, because, yes, I also have a premium viki account now. While watching Imitation I regretfully wonder why there wasn't a story line with Woosan as the main characters and last week I finally got to eat Tteokbokki and drink soju for the first time (here in Switzerland due to Covid the restaurants have only just reopened). So yes, I recommend watching this kdrama :)

Interesting and very well done love story.

I loved the leading characters in this romance. The female was funny and sassy, while the male lead was sweet and manly. The setting of the story was unique and the story line was fun. There were many parts that made me laugh out loud and cry. You get invested in the characters and that is so important in a series. I enjoyed every episode and it kept me hooked from the beginning. I think it has every element that a romance should have.

The setting was refreshing and made me think about the differences between North and South Korea. After watching the series, I actually went on a spree search for stories and videos about North Korea as I was quite curious. Although, I do take this media consumption with a grain of salt since I know how the media, especially the Western media, like their propaganda. I feel you never truly know until you've travelled to a place and experienced it for yourself.

If you are into romance with the feels and some humour, then definitely give this a try.

I like rating series based on how much I enjoyed it, how unique the story is and where I think it should be in the top rated list compared to other series.
