Muan has a fairly short runway(9000 ft), not a good combination for a loaded 737 trying to land high speed without thrusters and no brakes. I'm more interested to find out why the pilot decided this landing, typically he would have known he had no gear/hydraulics 7 or 8 miles out and above 2000 ft. Possibly he had no choice but I think I would have tried a "Sullenberger" considering the airport is surrounded by water.
