A prosperous businesswoman who is a owner of a fashion company does paragliding as part of a promotional event for her company. Abruptly a storm arrives and blows her over the border into the North Korean side. A North Korean armed force captain finds her. He chooses to not report her to the specialists but to stow away her domestic and send her back over the border to security. But things don’t go concurring to arrange and what happens after that shapes the rest of the story.
If you have seen this arrangement, you as of now know this, and if you haven’t seen this, you’ve likely speculated this as of now. Child Ye-jin plays that fruitful businesswoman and Hyun Container is the North Korean captain. Sparkles fly between them and their chemistry is wonderful. Hyun Container is tall, nice looking (drop-dead flawless is more like it), has a profound voice, and it feels like he has ventured out of a tall tale. He made me keep in mind the to begin with time I saw Brad Pitt and George Clooney on screen. As I studied around another celebrated character in a book – “All ladies need to be with him. All men need to be him.” That is Hyun Canister for you. Now and then he indeed cries when the circumstance requests it – how can we not adore a tall, nice looking man who too feels vulnerable?
Son Ye-jin is superb in her part as the fruitful businesswoman who closes up in North Korean domain. It is a exceptionally distinctive part compared to her parts in ‘Thirty-Nine’ and ‘Something in the Rain’. Her achievement as an on-screen character appears as she coasts through this part successfully. In a few places she does the sentimental scenes very well, in others she plays the extreme businesswoman, she battles with her two brothers who despise her, she stands her ground against her threatening father, she is a brilliant companion to individuals who are kind to her, she is extreme when battling against the terrible folks. It was brilliant to watch.
One of my top pick parts of the story is when the North Korean captain relegates four troopers from his group to ensure Se-ri (Child Ye-jin’s character) and how a excellent companionship creates between her and these four. Three of them are more youthful than her and she treats them like kid brothers and the fourth one is more seasoned than her, and he keeps taunting her and bantering with her which is a delight to observe. In one scene they are all burrowing in the yard, and Se-ri inquires him why they are burrowing, to which he answers, “So that we can bury you.” When we observe that on the screen, we can’t halt giggling. Se-ri gives a answer to that and the exchange proceeds. One of the troopers is a K-Drama fan and he sees South Korean culture through the focal point of K-Drama and the other three depend on him to decipher South Korean culture for them. The scenes in which he has a talk with Se-ri on K-Drama and talks about the endings of a few of them with her are wonderful to watch.
There are two adore stories in the arrangement. The to begin with one is the epic cherish story between Se-ri (Child Ye-jin) and Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Container). The moment adore story, which abruptly and out of the blue, shows up out of no place, is fantastically excellent, and it astounded me. It highlights a character called Seo Dan, who is a tall, youthful lady, who is wonderful, superb, rich, looks like a princess, and who with a single word or an imperious see hushes individuals who attempt to taunt her or attempt to threaten her.
I pondered who this individual was, and I pondered why she was not the primary character in the story. I trusted and envisioned that Seo Dan and Se-ri would ended up besties, in spite of the fact that at one point they were in adore with the same man, but shockingly, the scriptwriters didn’t seek after that line. Seo Dan is played by Seo Ji-hye who conveys a brilliant execution. In a few places she indeed upstages and eclipses Child Ye-jin. Kim Jung-hyun is brilliant as the loveable, charming conman Gu Seung-jun, whom Seo Dan falls in cherish with. One of my most top choice scenes in the story included these two and it finished with Seo Dan saying, “Stop talking nonsense.” I cried amid that scene.
A noteworthy portion of the story happens in North Korea. I don’t know whether those scenes were bona fide and precisely portrayed North Korean life and culture. It is difficult to do inquire about and make things precise as it is difficult to travel to North Korea. But the portrayal of North Korean life as envisioned in the story is wonderful. A few of the commonplace highlights of a communist tyranny are portrayed (like abruptly government officers choose to arbitrarily review houses in a town or how the amplifier sounds regular morning and inquires individuals to get up and go to the central portion of the town and do arranged works out with others), but the story moreover appears how ordinary individuals live their lives – how they are kind to each other and bolster each other.
How mothers irritate their kids to do homework and how they stress approximately their kids’ exhibitions in the exams and how they are glad when their kids do well, how individuals work together as a community, how typical foundation which numerous individuals over the world take for allowed is not promptly accessible (like continuous control supply, or things like a gas association, fridge or an electric stove at domestic) and how individuals handle that, how individuals cook things from scratch, how individuals protect nourishment for winter, how individuals live typical lives, which is filled with ordinary delights and distresses – all these are perfectly portrayed.
We don’t know whether North Koreans live like this. We’ll likely never know. One thing we can be beyond any doubt of in spite of the fact that is that North Koreans unquestionably don’t live the life that is delineated in universal media – that is they are stifled and smashed regular and they are all destitute, they can’t think freely, and their claim house is like a gulag where everybody endures. This delineation of North Korean life in the worldwide media is ridiculous, and it is not much diverse from the portrayal that most Indians are destitute and are moreover disgusting cheats, the Chinese government is unadulterated fiendish and most Russians are either portion of the mafia or are unadulterated scalawags like in the Bond motion pictures.
All this is bullshit, of course. I won’t comment on Indians since I need point of view here, but my Chinese and Russian companions are a few of the most lovely and kindest individuals I’ve ever met. So I think we can securely say that the portrayal of North Korea in the arrangement is likely closer to reality than what is portrayed in worldwide media, since in each nation, indeed when it is a fascism, individuals get up in the morning, go to school or college or go to work, individuals cook nourishment at domestic, individuals hang out with companions, they drop in adore and get hitched and have kids and stress almost their kids, individuals have budgetary stresses, there is office legislative issues, individuals confront ethical issues all the time and numerous times they select the down to earth alternative or maybe than the ethically right one. This is how the world works all over and North Korea is likely no exemption.
The as it were distinction is that in a so-called ‘free’ nation, when you are strolling down the road, somebody can take a weapon and shoot you down, since individuals can purchase a weapon at the basic supply store there, whereas if you are in a totalitarian nation, when you are strolling down the road, a dark car can noiselessly side by you and two government authorities can constrain you interior and at that point you’ll vanish and no one will know what happened to you. Opportunity is fair an illusion.
There are going to be a few spoilers in the following section, and so if you don’t mind be forewarned.
Two of my top choice characters in the story were Ri Jeong-hyeok’s (Hyun Canister) guardians. They come in as it were a few scenes but those are exceptionally paramount scenes. Ri Jeong-hyeok’s father is portion of the best brass of the North Korean government and so he is exceptionally effective. He is a commonplace family patriarch, who is regarded and dreaded. But he is too kind. Ri Jeong-hyeok’s mother is a solid, kind lady who adores her child and who is moreover lamenting. The scenes in which these two come are a few of my most top choice scenes in the story. There is one scene in which both the guardians, and Ri Jeong-hyeok and Se-ri are there, and that scene was inconceivably lovely.
The Pyongyang as portrayed in the story is exceptionally astounding, since it looks like any universal city. The streets are wide, the buildings are tall, the cars are cutting edge and in vogue, there are lovely lights all over, the eateries are decent, the individuals are carefully dressed. I don’t know whether this is the genuine Pyongyang or the envisioned South Korean adaptation of it, but it looks very great on screen.
There is a cool, smart reprobate in the story. He is good looking, unadulterated fiendish, has associations in tall places, and has the prove with him to bring down anybody. He reminded me of Hans Landa. It was difficult to like him, since he is a scalawag after all, but it was too difficult to despise him, since he is a fellow who begun with nothing and is a item of his circumstances and his time, and he is fair doing everything he can to survive.
One of the things which made me pitiful whereas observing this arrangement was how this nation with one dialect and one culture got isolated falsely into two by outside strengths when the two superpowers chosen to subjectively draw a line on the outline coinciding with the 38th parallel and separate this nation into two. The individuals of the nation didn’t need two nations, but pariahs constrained it on them. Tragically, things have remained this way for about 70 a long time. There were prospects for Korean unification at the conclusion of the Cold War time, the way the two Germanies got to be one, but tragically, it didn’t happen. Nowadays Korean unification feels like a removed dream with each passing day. I don’t know whether it will ever happen amid my lifetime.
I fair trust in spite of the fact that that the two nations normalize political and exchange relations and live like quiet neighbors. This is conceivable. But as long as the insane North Korean government keeps terminating rockets into the ocean as it frequently does these days, normalization of relations looks like a removed dream.
I have a few North Korean stories. The to begin with is this one. There is a spring of gushing lava on the China-North Korea border. This volcano’s hole has a enormous lake. This is a top choice goal for sightseers. One of my Chinese companions went there once and she got a few gifts for me. I still have them with me. The moment story is this. There was a British fellow in Shanghai who organized trips to North Korea. North Korea has this yearly wearing celebration called the Arirang Celebration.
This fellow organized trips amid this time. I nearly marked up for one of those trips. But I chickened out in the 11th hour, since I felt that if I get a North Korean stamp on my visa, my voyaging days would be over. The third story is this one. One of my top choice companions worked in South Korea for numerous a long time. She once gone to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) and took pictures and shared them. It was curiously to see the DMZ at near quarters.
I adored ‘Crash Landing on You‘. It has something in it for everybody.
There is sentiment, there is activity, there is amusingness, there is companionship, there are shocks, cool smart discourse, extraordinary heroes and courageous women and awful reprobates. I pondered all through the arrangement on how the fundamental issue in the story will be settled – that is a South Korean lady and a North Korean man drop in adore, how are they going to get together in the conclusion?
They both cherish their possess nations and they too cherish each other. So will they get together in the conclusion (which was the finishing I needed), or did they portion until the end of time in the conclusion (which looked more likely)? The way the scriptwriters settled this was exceptionally curious. Not saying anything more around it in spite of the fact that go watch it and discover out what happened.
Have you seen ‘Crash Landing on You‘? What do you think approximately it?
