A cute Indian girl named Seetha is invited by her Korean friend to visit him for a few days, so she excitedly flies to Seoul and finds herself caught in a whirlwind love triangle with two young Korean men.
The mini-series Landed in Korea is a lighthearted romance spanning eight episodes, with each chapter lasting only five minutes, sometimes even less. The title appears to be inspired by the immensely popular K-Drama Crash Landing on You, and the series features K-pop star Aoora, who gained fame in India through the reality show Bigg Boss, becoming a household name for many Indian viewers.
Given the popularity of K-pop and K-dramas in India, Landed in Korea seems designed to cater to Indian viewers looking for a cross-cultural romance featuring an Indian dating a Korean. In the series, Seetha spends time with four Korean guys and sort of dates one of them, while realizing she might prefer another. That’s essentially the entire plot of Landed in Korea—some K-pop songs probably have more developed stories than this web series.
The show doesn’t come across as a serious attempt at creating something memorable. It’s shot in a vlog-like style, and given the short duration of each episode, they all feel like teasers for longer episodes that are never shared with the viewers. Landed in Korea ends with a ridiculous twist in episode eight, making the entire story feel pretty pointless. Honestly, this might have worked better as a four-minute song about an Indian girl romancing a hot Korean Oppa rather than a mini-series.
