The 2020 global hit Crash Landing on You still ranks high on the list of K-dramas most deserving of a second season. It wrapped up with a bittersweet but hopeful finale: Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin) and Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) reunited in the Swiss Alps, sharing fleeting moments of happiness while still divided by geopolitics. While fans were satisfied to see their love endure, the ending left a lingering question—can they ever truly be together? A second season could finally explore what “happily ever after” looks like beyond brief reunions.

Vincenzo was a massive hit thanks to Song Joong-ki’s charismatic turn as the suave consigliere-turned-vigilante, Jeon Yeo-been’s fiery portrayal of lawyer Hong Cha-young, and the unforgettable ensemble of eccentric, endearing residents at Geumga Plaza—characters that audiences couldn’t get enough of and would more than love to see again.
The K-drama’s ending also left the window wide open for a second season. Vincenzo may have escaped to Malta, but Cha-young is never far from his thoughts. When he returns for a quick visit, he all but tells her that there’s always room for her on his island—and his heart. It’s more than enough to keep fans clamouring for a sequel that delivers a proper reunion and a romantic resolution to their long-simmering feelings.
