Released in 2019, the popular Netflix series “Crash Landing on You” is about a paragliding mishap dropping a South Korean heiress into North Korea — and into the life of a North Korean army officer, who decides he will help her.

This is a love story that overcomes the hardships of world politics–what is there not to like??

After incredible political complications, they separate due to those hardships; but they have already given their hearts to each other. And through the tricks of screen writing they reunite, in the tear-jerker of all time, on the dock in Iseltwald.

Meanwhile, the 400 residents of Iseltwald, a quiet Swiss village on Lake Brienz, rarely visited by tourists, have, most recently, seen hundreds of thousands of #CLOY visitors from Korea and East Asia. Quiet village? No longer.

What do you think about that?

Me? What do I think? Human emotions and their links to the landscape–mysterious, diaphanous, beautiful, arcane–they are the stuff of my books, like Tangier Gardens, link–https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv
