Crash Landing on You Deep Dive (Part 1)

On this episode, we discuss why Crash Landing on You (available on Netflix) is the perfect gateway Kdrama to hook new fans and give seasoned ones something to appreciate. Topics include: Is Captain Ri (played by Hyun Bin) the perfect alpha? What’s the difference between a character who is an alpha and one who is an alphahole? Why is Yoon Se-Ri (played by Son Ye-jin) a boss in every sense of the word? How can we appreciate Se-Ri’s arc from a feminist perspective?
And the all important—who wore it better, Captain Ri in his North Korean military uniform and bowl cut or Captain Ri in Seoul rocking swept-back hair and a suit?
