We started the new year excited that half the series of Crash Landing on You still remained. But now that thedrama is over, the weekends feel empty and forlorn. What are we to do without Ri Jung Hyuk (Hyun Bin) and hisYoon Se Ri (Son Ye Jin)? Not to mention the hilarious and fun-filled sidekicks.

If youre like me and are looking for some other K-dramas to watch that will help ease the pain of there being no more Crash Landing on You, heres a look at some other dramas and films to check out.

How will we ever move on from Hyun Bins role as Ri Jung Hyuk? He was pretty perfect in terms of male lead qualifications and itll be hard to move on from him. With that said, were lucky that he has a big repertoire of movies and K-dramas because itll help with the coping process. Here are a few that come strongly recommended!

(Pretty sure thisGIF was in every feature I wrote about Crash Landing on You, but its aGIF that needs to be seen over and over again).

A Millionaires First Love

Everyones first encounter with Hyun Bin should be with his character Kang Jae Kyung in A Millionaires First Love.

He not only learns about the value of life aside from wealth but also learns to love in the process.

Itll be hard to get over all of the emotions that his character goes through in the movie.Youll also love seeing a very youthful Hyun Bin giving it his all in a starring role. The feelings!

d starred in a movie together. Although the two were hardly ever together in the movie, its the best we can do to help us get through major Son Ye Jin/Hyun Bin withdrawal.

In The Negotiation, Son Ye Jin plays a negotiator named Ha Chae Yoon. Hyun Bin playsMin Tae Gu, a weapons smuggler who Chae Yoon must negotiate with in order to release hostages. She has 12 hours to do so and her calm and cool demeanor is put to the test.
