Yu bin jealous10/22/2023 My only problem now is they’re trying to take over the top spot of my favorite Neighbourhood Squad from the Ongsan Ahjummas.Īs much I hate the evil military man Cho Cheol-gang (Oh Man-seok), this drama wouldn’t be as thrilling to watch as it was if not for this power greedy character. They made Se-ri’s stay in North Korea enjoyable to watch. Seo-Jun pair could have been that imperfect-as-an-individual yet a perfect-as-a-couple couple.Īnother beloved squad from CLOY is the military housing village ahjummas composed of the village leader Na Wol-suk (Kim Sun-young), the colonel’s wife Ma Young-ae (Kim Jung-nan), the eavesdropper’s wife Hyeon Myeong-sun (Jang So-yeon), and village beauty guru Yang Ok-geum (Cha Chung-hwa). Gu Seung-jun’s death was a betrayal for the audience who watched his character development and hoped for him to have another chance in life. But strong women need some companion, too. Believe me when I say that I liked how cool she looked as this strong independent woman who stood up after grieving her lover. Seo Dan, who stayed loyal to her non-committal fiancé for a decade, deserved to be loved for the rest of her life. To be honest, I was expecting both couples to have their happily-ever-after but I guess K-drama deities wanted us to cry buckets until the end. Gu Seung-jun (Kim Jung-hyun) and Seo Dan (Seo Ji-hye) gave me my first second couple syndrome this year. The on-screen chemistry and acting dynamics of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin deserved all the attention this drama got. Their adventures in both North Korea and South Korea were this usual fish-out-of-the-water trope but somehow these two actors made the unlikely more believable. His cover slowly melted after meeting the very sophisticated CEO from the south, Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin). The By-The-Book Captain and The Sophisticated CEOĬaptain Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin) was the typical K-drama male lead who hides his ‘soft boy’ side through his unemotional soldier façade. So there, I became more at ease while watching the rest of the series. It wasn’t a documentary nor a biopic so I decided to separate my little knowledge about North Korean society to fictional North Korea depicted in CLOY. But then the first episode made me realize that I have to watch this series with the same open-mindedness I have when watching a fantasy drama. I didn’t think the production crew could portray North Korea as close to what the real DPRK is. I have to get this out the way before I fully delve into Crash Landing On You: I doubted the premise of this series would work. And as if writer Park Ji-eun sensed it’s time for another complicated out of this world (or in this case out of the border) love story, she threw us another one and made it fell in our TV screens unexpectedly. From alien-x-human to mermaid-x-human, the K-dramaverse is filled with all kinds of star-crossed lovers.
