It is the highest-rated tvN drama and the third highest-rated South Korean TV drama in cable television history.

Crash Landing on You’s backstory

The story of Crash Landing on You is about two stars crossed lovers, Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin), a South Korean Chaebol heiress, and RiJeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin), a member of the North Korean elite and a Captain in the North Korean Special Police Force.

One day while Yoon Se-ri goes for a short paragliding ride in Seoul, South Korea, a sudden tornado knocks her out and blows her off course. She awakens to find herself up a tree in a forest in the DMZ in North Korea, an area forbidden for South Koreans. There she meets RiJeong-hyeok, literally falling into his arms from the tree. RiJeong-hyeok eventually gives Yoon Se-ri shelter, and develops plans to secretly help her return to South Korea. Over time, they fall in love, despite the divide and dispute between their respective countries.
