Published July 2, 2021, 8:00 AM Ahead of his first meet-and-greet with Filipinos fans online on July 11, this Korean superstar sits down with this writer on a one-on-one I told Hyun Bin when I had the chance to speak to him on Zoom that, in fact, Crash Landing on You was what I would consider my ticket to the world of K-drama. Prior to it, my Korean film exposure was limited to fantasy, thrillers, and horror or, particularly, zombie films like Train to Busan and But Crash Landing on You, fondly called CLOY, was such a big hit when it was released in late 2019 and early 2020 and no fewer than 10 of my friends urged me to give it a try, saying it was such a joy of which I must not deprive myself. So I did and, indeed, it got me started, a key that has unlocked the door for me to a world of immersive storytelling, themes as familiar as they are inquisitive and introspective, practical yet evocative cinematography, lots of comic relief, beautiful actors, and Korea’s day-to-day life and cultural gems, from food to scenery, even fashion.
