Crash Landing on You  is a South Korean television series directed by Lee Jeong-hyo and featuring Hyun Bin, Son Ye-jin, Kim Jung-hyun, and Seo Ji-hye. It is about a South Korean chaebol heiress who, while paragliding in Seoul, South Korea, is swept up in a sudden storm and crash-lands in the North Korean portion of the DMZ. The series aired on tvN in South Korea and on Netflix worldwide from December 14, 2019, to February 16, 2020.

Crash Landing on You tells the story of two star-crossed lovers, Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin), a South Korean fashion entrepreneur with her company Se-ri’s Choice, and Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin), a member of the North Korean elite and a Captain in the North Korean Special Police Force.

One day, while Se-ri is paragliding in Seoul, South Korea, a sudden tornado knocks her out and blows her off course. She awakens to find her paraglider crashed into a tree in a forest in the DMZ of North Korea (an area forbidden for South Koreans). There, she meets Ri Jeong-hyeok on patrol and he eventually gives Se-ri shelter and devises plans to secretly help her return to South Korea. Over time, they fall in love, despite the divide and dispute between their respective countries. During Se-ri’s time in North Korea, she is introduced to the soldiers under Jeong-hyeok’s command and the women in the village where he is posted, all of whom she befriends as she gradually learns about life in the north.

Just before Se-ri went missing, her retiring father informed his family that he intended to announce her as his successor based on her abilities as a businesswoman, as shown by her successfully building her own company, instead of her half-brothers, Se-jung and Se-hyung, who struggled managing the chaebol's subsidiaries. The brothers are supported by their equally ambitious wives, Do Hye-ji, and Ko Sang-a, respectively. Se-ri's family suppresses the news of her disappearance out of fear that it will depress the stock price of the family-controlled chaebol. In Se-ri's absence, Se-Hyung outmaneuvers his siblings through unscrupulous means to win the succession battle to lead the family firm, while Sang-a attempts to take over Se-ri's company.

Se-ri's 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 cello in Russia for several years but returns to marry Jeong-hyeok, to whom she is already engaged on the promise of an arranged marriage even though they only met a few times. As she returns to Pyongyang, she crosses paths, not for the first time, with Gu Seung-jun. Gu Seung-jun, who had previously been engaged to Se-ri, fled to North Korea (under the protection of corrupt North Korean officers) in order to escape from the pursuit of Se-ri’s brother Se-Hyung, under whose incompetent watch he had embezzled a large amount of money.

The first half of the story follows Jeong-hyeok's attempts to hide Se-ri and help her get back to South Korea. They are impeded by Cho Cheol-gang (Oh Man-seok), a corrupt and ruthless State Security officer, who had previously arranged for the murder of Jeong-hyeok's older brother, an officer who tried to expose him. Jeong-hyeok's attachment to Se-ri distresses not only Dan, his fiancee, but also his father, a high-ranking political figure, as the discovery of Jeong-hyeok harboring a South-Korean could be used by rival officials to ruin their families.

In the second part of the story, Se-ri is able to return to South Korea and resume leadership of her company, surprising family and others who had thought she was dead. While Cheol-gang is initially convicted for his crimes, he escapes custody through his criminal network and infiltrates South Korea to go after Se-ri. Despite opposition from his father who nevertheless reluctantly gives his support, Jeong-hyeok and his soldiers clandestinely arrive in Seoul to protect Se-ri from Cheol-gang's revenge. Meanwhile in North Korea, despite Seo Dan's and Seung-jun's initial encounters being random and unpleasant, she shelters him when corrupt officers betray him to Se-Hyung's gangsters, and they eventually fall in love.

 Main Role

Hyun Bin as Ri Jeong Hyeok

A proficient but emotionally reserved captain in the Korean People's Army who is stationed along the North Korean DMZ. He is well-respected by the unit he leads and the locals of the rural village he resides in. While he comes from a powerful political family (his father is the director of the General Political Bureau), he prefers to keep his lineage secret. A piano prodigy, he was studying to become a concert pianist in Switzerland before being forced to join the North Korean military after his older brother (with whom he was very close) died in a mysterious car accident. He hides and protects Se-ri after she accidentally crash-lands in 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.

Son Ye Jin as Yoon Se-ri

A South Korean chaebol heiress to the Queen’s Group Chaebol. She has a troubled family history as she is her father's illegitimate child (though he loves her), resulting in a strained relationship with her step-mother due to a childhood misunderstanding and upcoming family succession battle, the latter making her the target of resentment from her half-brothers and their wives. After an aborted marriage engagement, she has had numerous casual relationships with celebrities, but not developed any close companionship. She is nonetheless an independently wealthy businesswoman who runs her own successful fashion and beauty company, Se-ri's Choice. She is known for being a demanding boss, staging publicity stunts, and is a picky eater. She meets Ri Jeong-hyeok after accidentally crash-landing in North Korea due to a paragliding accident. She falls in love with Jeong-hyeok as he shelters her in the North Korean village, where she becomes close to the ajummas and four of his soldiers.

Kim Jung-hyun as Gu Seung-jun / Alberto Gu

An intelligent, charming, but poor South Korean conman with British citizenship. After his family was bankrupted by Se-ri's father, he ingratiated himself with Se-ri's brother, Se-hyung, in order to embezzle from the Yoon family's company. Se-hyung attempted to marry off Se-ri to Seung-jun in order to be rid of her, but Se-ri sensed Seung-jun's ill intentions on their first meeting and rejected him. Seung-jun nonetheless successfully cheated a fortune from the Yoon's firm under Se-hyung's watch, and fled to North Korea to avoid arrest, while pursued by gangsters hired by Se-hyung.

Seo Ji-hye as Seo Dan

A North Korean department store heiress and aspiring cellist who is also Ri Jeong-hyeok's fiancée through an affianced marriage arranged by their parents. While she has been infatuated with Jeong-hyeok since they were high school classmates, he doesn't reciprocate her feelings but agrees to the betrothed marriage out of a sense of duty to his parents. Before the wedding, Dan desperately tries to prevent the marriage from becoming a sham after realising that Jeong-hyeok had never loved her from the start.

 Development

The premise of Crash Landing on You was inspired by a real event involving South Korean actress, Jung Yang 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." Park Ji-eun, the drama's screenwriter, was introduced to North Korean defector turned film adviser and writer Kwak Moon-wan, who became part of the drama's writing team. 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 drama's plot and in conceptualizing the setting and scenes in the drama portraying North Korean life.

Filming

The production process proved to be "painstakingly meticulous", owing to South Korea's relationship with North Korea where most of the story's plot ensues. The use of the honorific Chairman to refer to North Korea's leaders was avoided, and the North Korean lapel pins used by the cast members taking North Korean roles were one third smaller than their actual size. 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". They worked with guidance from North Koreans living in South Korea and research.

The first script reading took place on July 31, 2019 in Sangam-dong, Seoul, and filming overseas started at the end of August 2019. North Korean scenes were shot in South Korea and Mongolia Scenes that took place in Switzerland were shot on location.
