" Crash landing on you " was an excellent melodrama with a sweet romance.

The first part of the drama was amazing. Sure, the first episode was a bit of a mess, as they were trying to fit in every back story in order to lead us to the big even of the female lead getting into North Korea by accident. And while we're at it, I would have liked if they had given a more in depth presentation of the main character's background and her relationship with her family, as the latter was a big part of her life and personality and a lot of twists were based on that rocky relationship.

That said, the part where the leading lady was living in North Korea was really good. I don't know if the presentation of the country was accurate, but the one they gave us worked for the story. The romance had also a nice pace and it had enough intense and lovable moments. Yes, some of them were cheesy, but they were enjoyable. The side characters were adorable and they added a comedy element to the plot. The male lead had some funny aspects as well.

Now, for the second part, it wasn't as good as the first part, but it was enjoyable. It had enough action and thriller to keep things interesting, and the side characters were simply pure entertainment. The second couple had some time to shine during the second part too, however, their ending was really disappointing, as it was rushed and not properly done.

Finally, the settings and costumes were pretty good and the soundtrack perfect. The performances were really good from all the actors and actresses (this one was actually the only drama other than secret garden where I enjoyed the male lead, hopefully it won't be the last).

So, overall, eight out of ten.
