① The Origin (Planning Intent - about the director) 

With a Korean passport, you are eligible to travel to 187 nations without a visa. North Korea, the nation adjacent to it, cannot be seen or removed, nevertheless. a location that is nearby yet that we never visit. a foreign location that is strikingly similar to our own.

Similar to Dorothy in a fairy tale who jumped into another world in a storm, a woman in the drama leaps into a man's world in a gust of wind.

Numerous relationships, luck, and beautiful stories were planned with the message that they began with unexpected bad luck, misfortune, and crash landing, just as Dorothy, who had gone by the wind, met the Wizard of Oz, and the pilot who had made an emergency landing in the desert, met the Little Prince.

In the meantime, director Lee Jung-ho chose the two actors based on the romance rumor that surrounded Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, believing that their chemistry would be strong if they played the central roles in the film. It was advertised as a fun and vivacious romantic comedy.

② The Difference between reality and drama

In the drama "Crash Landing on You," Hyun Bin's Lee Jung-hyuk is serious, a little blunt, and awkward while expressing affection. Although her life is in danger, Yoon Se-ri is a trustworthy and cool person who rushes in to save and defend her. Son Ye-jin plays Yoon Se-ri, a chaebol heiress who has only known success. Then, one day, in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime crisis, he abruptly made an emergency landing in North Korea. Yoon Se-ri is a witty character with a little awkwardness and a bad side who moved to North Korea.

Hyun Bin and Son Ye-Jin's presence on the set actually seems to have reduced tension because the dramatic situation in the drama where characters were chasing, being chased, and arguing over lifelines has been resolved. Because he had already worked on his last project, "The Negotiation," and experienced a scandal at the same age, he was a little calmer and more affectionate than the drama character. In the making video of the filming location, there was a sweeter environment than in the drama, with people playing amicably with one another and acting as if they were protecting and loving one another, just as in the drama.
