Crash Landing on You#
A love story that needs the border to work#
Before you watch#
- watch the assigned episodes
- bring one moment where the romance requires you to overlook something about the actual division
- a detail smoothed over so the story can proceed

The drama has two jobs: representing a real, ongoing division, and telling a love story that needs obstacles to overcome.

What does this get right about the border, and what does it invent to let the romance proceed?
