KDMEO Episode 146 - Crash Landing On You (사랑의 불시착) 2-4

DO YOU FEEL THE PITTERPATS? Judy, Linda and Teresa wonder if they should be feeling heart flutters from episodes 2-4 of “Crash Landing On You” (사랑의 불시착), a TVN romantic comedy starring Son YeJin and Hyun Bin.

The drama is doing a great job at poking fun at its own tropes. We are super invested in the wiretapper's (Kim YoungMin) wellbeing and not at all interested in JungHyeok's (Hyun Bin) investigation into the truck accident. We definitely think SeRi and JungHyeok are cute together but don't anticipate any burning passion in future episodes.

We are planning a special commentary track episode! Please join Patreon to participate in our poll or make a suggestion. The poll is open until March 16 and so far the choices are “How Are You Bread” starring Suho (EXO) and Lee SeYoung, and “My Holo Love” starring Yoon HyunMin and Ko SungHee.
