Crash Landing on You: Switzerland and the Stand-In North
Yoon Se-ri, a South Korean chaebol heiress, is paragliding when a tornado carries her across the border into North Korea. Ri Jeong-hyeok hides her, and the two fall in love despite the division between their countries. The series' Switzerland is the real thing: a mountain pass, a lake pier, a gorge bridge and a cable-car station, all shot on location. The series was pieced together from stand-ins: a Jeju forest for the DMZ, a Chungju park for a South Korean reunion, and sets in Hoengseong and Chungju for the northern village. This route follows the story in episode order, from Se-ri's landing in a Jeju forest to the reunion above Grindelwald. Nothing was filmed in North Korea: the Pyongyang and Kaesong stations were played by Ulaanbaatar, and the DMZ scenes by several of Jeju's oreums.
