Great Story
This is probably my favorite Korean Drama Series. It has everything. Great Acting, great story, wonderful characters, intense drama, comedy, suspense, great background music, etc. If you don't at least tear up in the last 2 episodes, I would be surprised. Even my son, who loves action adventure films thought this was really good. They tell the stories of not just the main characters, but many of the minor characters too, which give such a rich background of the people and their lives. I will watch this one over and over.

The best of all K-dramas!
More than 5 Stars for this K-drama! First, though, the quality of the dvd wasn't ideal. The picture at the beginning of the first dvd has a smeary look to it, but the quality improved...wasn't bad enough to send it back. Also, the English subtitles turn off if you fast forward to another chapter...you have to keep resetting the choice for English. Subtitles are okay if you just keep watching straight through, only a problem if you skip ahead. Now, for the show itself. I stumbled across this show during COVID-19 but, for whatever crazy reason I found it, I am so glad I did! I have since watched other K-dramas, but this is still the best by far. Funny, romantic, exciting, sad...so many emotions. The two lead actors were made for these roles. I can't wait to see what they will do next. They are totally believable and authentic, besides being amazing at portraying their growing relationship. Dialogue is great, poignant, clever and funny. I'm looking for other shows by this screenwriter. The secondary characters are wonderful, especially the North Korean village women and the soldiers. It is a fascinating look at South and North Korean cultures. I'm repeating what others have said, and won't give anything away, but how about the last scene with Man Bok? What a sweet ending for him! I don't usually review items and hardly ever buy a dvd, especially an expensive set, but this show blew me away and will remain one of my all-time favorites.

Put this gem on your watch list.
I saw this in 2020 and bought the DVD. This perfect combo of action, romance, intrigue, and bravery could be shown 20 years from now and still entertain. With a backdrop of North and South Korea, its twists and turns made me "and then what happens" binge watch. You ended up caring for all the characters caught in things beyond their control The writers captured universal themes that anyone can identify with. Kudos to all involved in Crash Landing on You. I loved it and am watching again.

The most beautiful KDrama Love Story
I watched "Crash Landing" on line through Netflix--three times--and talked with fans on MyDramaList for months. I do not do that. Ever. Now I finally have my own copy of it. People say that DVD's and DVD players are on the way out, supplanted by streaming, which I also love. However, there are no guarantees of streaming video platforms from year to year (see Drama Fever), or that they follow our own tastes. So I always order a DVD copy of the KDramas that move me most deeply. I have about a couple dozen on my shelf. This is the one I waited for most anxiously, because this is the love story of my own life without the 'dear leader' aspect and which moved my soul because I see Capt. Ri so clearly. It is also Hyun Bin in his greatest role. This is not the star of Secret Garden, though I love him, too. But this is Captain Ri--created by Hyun Bin. And, though I love Son Ye Jin as well, that is the magic of this series.

Asian Drama
This is a great drama depicting North and South Korea and the friendships and love that can occur between the two. The only issue is Disc 1 is unplayable on my DVD's. Hopefully this issue will be resolved as I would really like to own this drama. It is one of my favorites.

Excellent series
CLOY is an excellent Kdrama that and an insight into the authoritarian North Korea Lifestyle as well as life in South Korea. The portrayals by all the cast were formidable and it is a series that is a must see for all.SPOILER ALERT - . I have noted that people appear to be very disappointed with the finale but if they follow the script, Yoon Se-ri would not have been able to provide proof to the NIS regarding her brothers & sister-in-laws recordings of both phone conversations & e-mails which had been provided by Dan Seo to her in her act of revenge for the killing of Gu Seung by the Chinese.

Almost perfect!
I purchased this box set to gain access to the music CDs but I didn't watch the series previously so I binge watched all sixteen episodes over a couple of days. This is a beautiful story with beautiful music. I don't know how accurate the portrayal of life in North Korea is (I read 60%), but it paints a picture that we're all people, no matter our politics. We have something to learn from this ... we all have to learn to live and love together.My quibbles are:1. There appear to be ads running in the videos2. There weren't any supplemental materials. One of the nice things about a box set is they often (always) contain extra material (outtakes, deleted scenes, making of, etc.) Alas, nothing.However, it is a great story and well worth whatever I paid for it; I don't care.
