Story

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

Se-ri Yoon (Son Ye-jin) is a South Korean chaebol heiress to the Queens Group. Born into a complicated family of wealth and greed, she is her father's illegitimate child. Although loved by her father, she is resented by her half-brothers and disliked by her step-mother. Because of this, she exiled herself out of the family fortune and successfully founded her own fashion and beauty company: Se-ri's Choice. A woman of great business sense, she is a tough boss and known for her publicity stunts (ex: staging a fake romantic liaison) to gain media attention and sell her products. However, her greatest achievement would be inheriting the Queen’s Group.

Jeung-pyeong Yoon (Kyung-eup Nam) is the CEO of Queen’s Group and Se-ri’s dad. He recently served time in jail after he was found guilty of financial malfeasance. With his reputation affected, he looked to one of his children to inherit his title as chairman of Queens Group. Aside from Se-ri, Jeung-pyeong have two sons: Se-hyung (Hyung-soo Park) and Se-joon (Dae-hoon Choi). Unfortunately, Se-hyung (Se-ri’s elder half-brother) recently made a bad business exchange. He cost the company millions after being conned by Seung-joon (Kim Jung-hyun), a man that embezzled Queens Group. Se-joon failed to reach an agreement with the labor union leader and got into a fistfight with the leader. Both brothers covet the position but have proven to be too incompetent to successfully run Queens Group; Jeung-pyeong chose Se-ri. Jeung-pyeong reasoned that she is a self-made CEO and have what it takes to lead the future of Queens Group; it was an unpopular decision with her brothers and the conspire against her.

Before taking the reins of Queens Group, Se-ri already made plans to promote her company through a paragliding project. Unknown to her, the weather suddenly turned bad and a cyclone carried her away; she survived but crash-landed in North Korea. It was there she met Captain Jeong-hyeok Ri (Hyun Bin), a soldier of the Korean People's Army (stationed along the North Korean DMZ). Upon first meeting, Jeong-hyeok found her trapped over a tree. After freeing herself, Se-ri realized she crossed over to the north side and panicked, desperate to go home. Jeong-hyeok considered arresting her and have her processed. However, he stepped on a landmine and couldn’t move to capture her. Se-ri took the chance to escape, but was pursued by the captain’s men.

Se-ri managed to escape capture because Jeong-hyeok’s men were distracted to find her. Pyo Chi-Su (Yang Kyung-Won) was drunk, Kim Ju-Meok (Yoo Su-Bin) was too busy watching a South Korean drama, Park Kwang-Beom (Lee Sin-Young) was busy disarming the landmine for Captain Ri, and Geum Eun-Dong (Tang Joon-Sang) was too homesick to notice Se-ri escaping under their noses. While they eventually regrouped to search for her, they lost her. Ultimately, Se-ri stumbled upon a North Korean village and didn’t realize she stumbled upon Jeong-hyeok’s residence. Jeong-hyeok found her and had her stay in his home as he figured what to do with her. Things got complicated when Se-ri overheard Chi-Su blabbed out about their unprofessional behavior and that gave her leverage to blackmail Captain Ri’s entire team to allow her to stay at Jeong-hyeok’s home until they can bring her back to Seoul. They plan to smuggle Se-ri over a fisherman’s boat, where she’ll safely cross back to the south. In between, forces conspire against both Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok.

Captain Ri and his team captured three illegal treasure hunters prior to their encounter with Se-ri. North Korean (NK) State Security Officer, Cho Cheol-gang (Oh Man-seok), secretly conspired with these men to search for valuables. When Capt Ri captured them, Cheol-gang retrieved them to get their booty. The gang thought Cheol-gang was their benefactor, but he only wanted to get what they found and secretly had them murdered. He had a modified armored Russian truck run their transport over and killed a hitchhiker to clear all loose ends. When Captain Ri learned of the incident, he wanted to investigate into this matter as it seems to have ties to his elder brother’s death as well. Meanwhile in Seoul, the Yoon brothers are happy to have learned Se-ri has been missing and presumed dead from the paragliding accident. With her out of the way, they attempt to convince their father to transfer his powers over to one of them as it would look bad to the board if there’s no successor.

Captain Ri traveled to Pyongyang to continue on his investigation into the deaths of the treasure hunters. He wanted to look into things at the Security Department but Cheol-gang had the Investigation Division’s Trial Bureau arrest him and Bureau Director Choi (Jeon Jin-Woo) personally interrogated Capt Ri for the deaths of those raiders. Jeong-hyeok find this investigation very suspicious and asked for proof of his crimes. Director Choi was enraged when Jeong-hyeok challenged him and said he can charge him with whatever crimes he wants. It was then General Ko stepped in and freed the captain. General Ko was very upset at Choi and kicked Choi’s knees twice. Shocked at the treatment, Choi wanted to know who is Captain Ri and General Ko identified Jeong-hyeok as the son of Ri Chung-Ryeol, Director of the General Political Bureau. Knowledge of this deeply frightened Choi as Director Ri is one of the highest authorities in the NK government. Enraged at Cheol-gang, Choi called Cheol-gang to inform him how bad of a blunder this will cost them for not knowing Captain’s Ri’s associations.

At the village, Chi-Su called Capt Ri when he found out the village will go through a random inspection. Because Se-ri was told to never pick up a phone call, she couldn’t be warned of the potential danger and Jeong-hyeok asked General Ko to borrow his car to rush back home. Because of the 79-extension on his car plate, it signifies he’s an elite and that gave him special treatment. Whoever saw Capt. Ri’s car immediately cleared a path for him to allow him to make it back home. During this time, Cheol-gang got involved in searching Captain Ri’s house and found Se-ri hiding in the cellar. Unable to explain herself, Capt Ri made it back just in time to explain Se-ri is his anti-social fiancé. Cheol-gang wanted proof in the form of her ID and pass (which she doesn’t have any) and Capt. Ri explained she’s an agent under the 11th Division (a special spy division that operates in South Korea). Because 11th Division agents have classified identities, this prevented Cheol-gang from further investigation and explains any odd behavior was due to her time in the south. Cheol-gang left the matter alone, but the entire village suddenly learned of Se-ri as Capt Ri’s fiancé.

Back inside Jeong-hyeok’s house, Jeong-hyeok and Se-ri had a moment to breathe. Jeong-hyeok explained the cover he gave for Se-ri. While worried about her spy cover, Jeong-hyeok didn’t think it’s a major concern since he’ll be taking her to the smuggler the following day. Unfortunately, the smuggling attempt was a failure. When Jeong-hyeok attempted to send Se-ri off, NK Coastal Patrol caught the boat before the transfer. Fearing their smuggling situation will be exposed, Jeong-hyeok and Se-ri pretended to be lovers hanging out on the boat fish. While this fooled the commander, it also ruined her chance of returning home.

Frustrated over her situation, she attempted to leave for Seoul on her own. She left a note to thank Jeong-hyeok and traveled to the top of a nearby mountain. She was planning to fly off with her paragliding gear, but Jeong-hyeok made it in time to stop her. He warned her that if she gets caught crossing the DMZ, she’ll be shot and killed on both sides. On top of that, she turned on her radio and it caught the attention of NK sensors. NK soldiers were sent to investigate the source of the signal and Jeong-hyeok opted to paraglide out of the situation. The two jumped over the mountain just as Cheol-gang’s men arrived and escaped capture.
