A love story inspires Christmas in Switzerland

In the small village of Iseltwald, located in the heart of Switzerland, people come together at a pier.

Love Story

Their plan is not to catch a boat but to hopefully fall in love and maybe take a selfie or two against the background of the location where their favourite romantic Korean drama was filmed.

“Crash Landing On You” is a television love story in which a high-flying South Korean heiress accidentally paraglides into North Korea, lands on a soldier and falls in love with him.

This serendipity, or unplanned good fortune, has inspired many with one viewer describing the television drama series as a masterpiece.

“This is simply the most thoroughly enjoyable series I have seen on TV for years in any language. The comedy, the romance and the drama are all successfully blended. Love the ongoing comedy about the differences between North and South Korea - all freshly done and spot on,” said a fan.

This fan made his comment on IMDb, in full Internet Movie Database, a website that provides information about millions of films and television programs as well as their cast and crew.

Much of this hugely popular TV show is filmed in Switzerland and this has led many fans to travel to spots where it was filmed during this festive period.

The location’s sentimental value is largely centered on the landing pier, where the heiress literally landed on the love of her life.

On this pier, people queue to take photos, film videos and some even bring drones to make sure they've got the perfect shot.

"Crash Landing on You is a beautiful story of two people coming from very opposing worlds and falling in love despite their differences. I found this story very heart-warming and inspiring," said Yanina Seifermann, a German who visited the location this Christmas.

"It was so amazing. I instantly felt transported back to the scenes of the K-drama and felt more connected to the characters," she added, with the sparkle that makes this festive season so special.
