In “Crash Landing On You,” the main character Se-ri, a successful entrepreneur from South Korea, is drifting away when terrible wind makes her lose a sense of direction and eventually crash-land in North Korea. In that spot, she bumps into Ri Jŏng-hyŏk, a captain of the northern Korea army, who assists her to hide from authorities because they would attract danger upon her appearance.
Se-ri is kind of a spoiled brat and should adjust to living on a limited amount of money or doing without wearing expensive clothes and having all she needs. Living in North Korea, she has to get used to everything that is minimalist and different from her previous way of living. She fails in every attempt to go learning materials for the simple tasks like cooking. Jeong-hyeok does his best at making her understand how life is then in the North and military, which results in one thing after another funny discoveries.
Beyond background, Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok get closer and get to like each other. What is more, their different countries of citizenship creates hurdles for maintaining their romance.

It’ is a matter where gratitude grows towards understanding and sympathy with other persons from different environments that we encounter during our journeys. While you will be amused by Se-ri’s humorous experiences, Se-ri’s humorous experience, you will undoubtedly face difficulties, join them in face the difficulties, but in the end, you will be one of those who love this couple.
