I will be writing weekly episode recaps about Crash Landing on You (or trying to). Recaps are typically uninspiring. If I want an episode play-by-play, I can watch the show. This is a disclaimer: There will be spoilers, be prepared. If you would like to start from the beginning of the series, go here.
Five Things That Happened This Episode
- Trip Postponed
- Se Ri works on Captain Ri’s promotion
- Captain Ri checks out the engineering department
- The Yoon Family drama continues
- Cho Cheol Gang learns more about Se Ri
1.Trip Postponed
They had out to see and are stopped by the sea guards. The Guards tell them that they need to turn back. Captain Ri tells Se Ri that they have to wait at least 15 days before they will be able to attempt leaving by sea again. So a new plan is put in place.
Captain Ri goes to his dad to ask him for a favor. He asks him to place Se Ri as an extra on the country’s track team.
2.Se Ri works on Captain Ri’s Promotion
Se Ri is disappointed in Captain Ri’s level of power. She talks to the boys to find out how to increase his rank. She then spends a large amount of time with the ladies of the village to help him out.
3.Captain Ri Checks out the Engineering Department
Continuing wit his investigation of the mysterious deaths, Captain Ri investigates the engineering department. He gets the evidence he needs and leaves.
4.The Yoon Family Drama Continues
With Se Ri missing, her dad has chosen the younger brother to be the new owner of the company. The mom believes that the dad has made the wrong decision. She believes that Se Ri may still be alive and that he should wait for her return.
5.Cho Cheol Gang Learns More About Seri
The wrong information has gotten into the wrong hands. Red flags shoot for Cho Cheol Gang and since he’s annoyed with Captain Ri (for who his family and for the investigation), he will not let this information be disregarded.
Other Things that Happened
Okay I know I said 5 things, but more things happened that I wanted to point out.
Captain Ri talking to the boys about Se Ri making a heart symbol at him. They underestimated about him already being engaged while saying he’s engaged to Se Ri. I also like the transition from this scene to the next scene that has Dan.
I like the ending scene. It’s a flashback to when they were all in Switzerland. Captain Ri intentionally saved her from jumping off the bridge. We learned that Dan visited him while he was studying in Switzerland.
Scenes
Captain Ri is insulted when he finds out that Se Ri thinks his ran is low.
The reaction when they find out that Captain Ri is engaged.
They call him the rat; I call him the snitch. Captain RI helps him out when thieves steal his wallet. I feel as though he’ll pay him back somehow.
Se Ri gets lost in the marketplace. He doesn’t hesitate to find her. Cute gesture and the neighbor ladies were impressed by his swift response.
Thoughts
I hate this scene. It is illogical and the fact that no one else on production thought so is beyond me. I don’t understand how no one has question how in the world did she get his parachute back. She left her parachute at the DMZ. I don’t think Captain Ri would have went to pick up, but then again he could have. Now her purple jumpsuit was left in the North Korean forest and one of the soldiers did pick it up, so I understand that. But I don’t understand how did she get her parachute back.
Se Ri helps the rat’s kid out. Both Se Ri and Captain Ri help out the rat’s family. I think he will repay them somehow. He did ave a note in his wallet.
