Crash Landing on You K-drama
Hello this is K's Happiness.
This time, I would like to introduce the South Korean drama Crash Landing on You.
Crash Landing on You is a South Korean television series written by Park Jae-hyun and starring
Ha Eun-bin, Sun Yijin.
One day, while Yoon Si-ra is paragliding in Seoul, a sudden tornado blows her off course
and knocks her out.
She awakens to find her paraglide hanging in a tree in a forest in the North Korean
portion of the DMZ.
There she meets Ri Jung-hyeok, who eventually gives her shelter and develops plans to help
her return to South Korea secretly.
Over time, they fall in love, despite the divide between their respective countries.
Back in South Korea, Yoon Si-ra's family suppresses the news of her disappearance, fearing it
will depress the stock price of Queen's Group.
Just before Si-ra went missing, her retiring father had told his family that he intended
to make her his successor, based on her ability as a businesswoman, which she proved by building
her own company, Siri's Choice.
Her half-brothers, Yoon Si-jun and Yoon Si-hang each hoped to be their father's replacement,
but they have struggled to manage the subsidiaries under their control.
The brothers are supported by equally ambitious wives, Do Ha-jae and Go Sang-ah, respectively.
In Si-ra's absence, Si-hang uses unscrupulous means to win the succession battle, while
his wife, Sang-ah, attempts to take over Si-ra's Choice.
Si-ra and Jung-hyeok's story is intertwined with that of Soo Dan and Go Sang-jun.
Dan is the sophisticated daughter of a wealthy North Korean department store owner.
She has been studying the cello in Russia for several years, but returns to marry Jung-hyeok,
to whom she is engaged through an arranged marriage, though they have only met a few times.
As she returns to Pyongyang, she crosses paths more than once with Go Sang-jun, who has fled
to North Korea in order to escape the pursuit of Si-hang, under whose incompetent watch
he had embezzled large amounts of funds.
The first half of the story follows Jung-hyeok's attempts to hide Si-ra and facilitate her
return to South Korea.
They are impeded by Chu Chil-gang, a corrupt and ruthless officer from the Ministry of
State Security, who previously arranged the murder of Jung-hyeok's elder brother, an officer
who tried to expose him for crimes against the North Korean regime.
Jung-hyeok's attachment to Si-ra distresses not only Dan, his fiancé, but also his father,
a high-ranking political figure.
If it became known that Jung-hyeok harbored a South Korean citizen, it could be used by
rival officials to ruin their family.
In the second half of the story, Si-ri has returned to South Korea and resumes leadership
of her company.
Surprising her family and others who had thought her dead, Chil-gang escapes custody.
