Runi Jan 17 2026 6:55 am This drama is actually adorable for me. The main problem for me is the ml character doesn't make sense, a chaebol who dgaf about other but seem to be surprisingly whip for fl on first meeting,which doesn't really make sense. Other than that I would give this 8/10 . If you enjoy lovely dovely dramas or if you need to turn your brain off this drama will be perfect for you. Surprisingly there's a whole episode just for the ml being jealous hahha.

Nik Dec 29 2025 7:50 pm I just watched "Possessed" and quickly needed some medicine to get rid of its traces.

King the Land was the Perfect medicine! Honestely, such a lovely RomCom K-drama, that was so refreshing! WIthout spoilers I can say: I'm glad the writers did not overdo it and added overdone drama situations, from experience with K-dramas I was watching with some kind of suspicion if something bad happens the closer the ending comes, but as I said: it's like a medicine gently does its work :)

I love the characters and how even supporting characters are written into the story, with a lot of love. Yes, there are the usual annoying characters, especially one that I really despised :) And that means the fantastic cast did a perfect job! The same I can say for all the people behind the camera.

If you need something soothing, this fairytale will be the perfect K-drama to watch!

I don't really understand some comments here, especially the one below mine. It was so much fun to watch them play. The only "negative" thing I can think of some people might not like: there's no rushing in this drama, no quickly filmed final episode or anything, but lotsa nice images that made me want to be in them ...

Bagu Dec 29 2025 8:38 am I’m one of the few people who find this drama bad. I love the cast, but I don’t like the chemistry between the leads—it’s absurdly overrated. Besides that, the whole drama seems to revolve around a chaebol falling in love with an employee, and at times the male lead is tiresome. It took me so many tries to finish this.

I do understand that Junho and Yoona are strong enough to capture viewers’ interest, but as this drama clearly shows, that’s not enough to turn a bad script into a good show. I absolutely dislike this series; it’s too ridiculous and exhausting. No quality at all.

Maria Theresa Sep 02 2025 11:32 pm I watched King the land three times. I absolutely love this movie. it's one of my favorites I love the lead actors and the men and the women are absolutely gorgeous and talented my goodness.

I wish it would have in English rather than subtitles.

but I understand how you want to respect the Korean language or Hangul but it would be nice. for example business proposal was in English that was so funny so this movie is also great too. As far as subtitles if there is a way to slow it down, to slow down the subtitle captions so we can have time to read it not everybody's a fast reader but other than that I would give your movie five star and I would give each cast member 10 Stars superb.

the movie was superb

Una Sep 01 2025 9:29 am Love you yoona from Indonesia. Love this drama so much

Debbie Jun 13 2025 8:23 am I loved this romance drama. It is the antithesis to "Boys Over Flowers". The two leads fell in love and the ML stood his ground the entire time and always protected the FL. The ML was very mature and gradually got everything he wanted in a positive way. The FL was very mature as well. As a result, she was treated with decency and respect throughout the drama. The FL knew her own worth and value. *** Spoiler alert*** I love the fact that ML/FL got married at the end of this drama. I also appreciated there was no violence and or misogynistic behavior in this drama. I highly value and recommend this drama.

Kdrama Llama Jan 27 2025 1:06 pm I really enjoyed this drama and I’m glad I gave it a chance despite the low rating on here. For me updated the usual “rich boy poor girl” trope or rather added more layers to it. The FL was a bit more mature, knew who she was and her worth and didn’t fall lightly or easily at the the MLs feet and he was such a fool for her, always doing the chasing.

I also loved the “six siblings” supporting cast, their scenes really made me smile (Hermes!).

Plfle Dec 23 2024 3:29 pm One of the most offensive and cliche drama!

Hazel Sep 24 2024 10:44 pm One of the best drama!! I really love the cast and their chemistry.

Shaoly Sep 20 2024 11:53 pm To me it was a waste of time...the plot is too loose....those who love light rom-com it's suit them...the drama is kinda time pass,,, if you're searching for a good story then it's obviously not for you...such a childish drama

Liz Chapman Sep 14 2024 3:56 am Just watched it for the third time. I just love Lee Joon Ho, he played such a kind and loving part. The only other drama I’ve watched with him in is Rain and Shine which I enjoyed too but now a few years older he has become so handsome. Bring on more!

Miss sara Aug 31 2024 8:06 pm Great story line between rich guy and his so-so co worker. It's different from the viral Kdrama, Boys Before Flower. King the Land is more realistic.

Really like how the grow their love together (slowly but sure). And how Gu Won always maintain his relationship with his sisters, nephew, and SaRang's Grandma.

It's very light,lovely, and understandable. Recommended?

Ddeonu Aug 29 2024 7:44 am I just finished watching this drama, the drama's plot is very light, good, and not boring at all. All the actors in this drama act very well. Even though this drama is viral, I Just watched it hehe.. Lee Junho, besides his good acting, he is very sexy. Hehe

Venelope Jul 29 2024 6:59 am I give this drama ?. No complicated characters!! I love Gu Won’s character so much!!! Great storyline ughhhh i love it so muchhhh

Ron Che Jun 27 2024 5:33 pm Nice, this is one of real scenario when a rich guy falls in love with a co worker. And the co worker made a good choice to leave to avoid gossipping.

Annika Jun 10 2024 10:44 pm More King the Land please! It’s completely brilliant.

Co May 12 2024 6:35 pm I almost gave up on K dramas until I watched this one. Wow wow wow. I totally agree with Charlotte O' Toole, she said my mind. Already. OMG I love this series. It's so good.

Jennie Mar 25 2024 9:13 am Love Yoona, But this drama isn’t my cup of tea in my honest opinion… it’s very basic? The storyline is flat, acting is okay and overall a very predictable yet light drama? I’d say this is suitable for people who just started watching kdrama, other than that it’s a hard skip for me. 6.5/10

Charlotte O'Toole Mar 08 2024 10:14 am Best acting I’ve seen in a long time. Won goes through all the emotions. It is clear what he is feeling by his expressions. His feelings are palpable. The slow growth of their feelings and relationship is moving to watch and his understanding through her, allows him to appreciate and respect others, regardless of wealth. I have learned a lot about behavioural patterns. Especially how Won never hits back at his sister no matter how much she hurts him. Keeping their relationship secret is tantamount to its success and not letting others know of his plans in management stops them being sabotaged and why he is able to succeed even though the management team favour his sister, or should I say are intimidated by her. Most of all the music throughout gives input to the storylines.

Jaylo Feb 22 2024 8:21 am Sweet story let down by the leads, Junho and Lim Yoona. They are great singers and dancers, that doesn’t transfer to acting. It’s like they are prancing through the script. Some good support acting and great backdrops. Spoilt by ML and FL. Can’t finish it.

Dr.Monika Gupta Feb 19 2024 2:00 am It is one of the best series I have ever seen. Very beautifully directed every angle of human behaviour love , revenge , politics , ambitions and above all self respect feeling of heroen..

Zeus Feb 04 2024 7:37 am 10+ drama! Another amazing Kdrama. Loved it! Yoon A and Joon Ho, great performance, great acting, charismatic, dazzling looks and what a chemistry! Anyway, a bravo to all the cast, all superb actors. The story is light and at times funny but great to watch with beautiful music too. Recommend to watch this drama!

CritiQueen Jan 24 2024 3:19 am No offense, but I believe this kdrama is only for those kdrama newbies or has watched at least a hundred kdramas maybe. If you know what I mean, you won't feel offended. This is a light romance drama, that is supposed to make you feel butterflies. If only I were younger, I would have liked it. Regardless, I rate it 8.5/10

Laureen Dec 09 2023 3:57 pm I don't understand the trajectory the script was supposed to take, first the FL wanted to work in the hotel when she grew up but then has a change of heart towards the end of the drama. The romance between the main leads was too rushed and the characters lacked proper character development throughout the drama. The ML's sister could not convince me that she really hated her brother. The story involving the ML's mother isn't fully explored to the viewers satisfaction. The FL's grandmother was really sweet. The drama was a let down in my opinion, especially due to the fact that it had the best actors in the industry, it's a pity their talents were not fully utilised.

Jeanie Dec 06 2023 5:17 am This is a brilliant drama with an unusual plot line. The leads are great but the problem with ex K Pop singers like Lee Joon Ho, they have all had their faces shaved with surgery so their heads look like triangles. It’s unnatural and detracts when they are acting well. Can you imagine any famous Hollywood stars like Leonardo Di Caprio or Tom Cruise with triangle faces. No! All the same, a very good drama apart from that.

Kim Nov 16 2023 4:07 am What a good drama. The cast portray really well in their own characters.

Mir Oct 29 2023 5:46 am I am really glad I decided to watch it despite the low ratings. I was looking forward for this drama because of Junho. I love him so much and he is such a great actor. The drama was overall really nice and fun. There were few extra cringy moments, but apart from that it is worth to watch. Characters were also great.

Mhay Oct 28 2023 12:30 pm The ending of episode 11 was totally hilarious!

Karina Sep 28 2023 9:51 pm Better than western television. Love this series. I was hesitant to watch it based on the title but finally got into it. Fun roller coaster romance with great moments of laughter.

Junglee Sep 22 2023 10:38 am Wait....what....season 2 is coming? Oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no,no, no. You really need to step up the screenplay and the game.

Christy Lyn BALDELOVAR Sep 09 2023 7:30 am Still can't move on ? I love everything in this drama. ❣️

Tricia Sep 08 2023 8:47 am I love the Korea drama especially king the land

Steffanie Sep 07 2023 1:58 pm The story of the lead couple is your typical rich guy boss and poor girl employee romance. I like the stories regarding both of their struggles at work. Their romantic scenes were nice but nothing new. The stories that I am more invested on are those of the female lead's best friends. Go Won Hee's love story is much more interesting. And Kim Ga Eun's family story is more exciting. Her dead beat husband and bum in laws make my blood boil. P.S. I love that they have Kim Young Ok here. She's really great!

Still can't move on Sep 04 2023 11:56 pm After watching romantic comedies for 20 years I have to say this drama was perfect in every way! If you like True romantic comedies that are centered around romantic with natural chemistry, you will love this. And those hot kisses will make your heart flutter. My heart dropped when the Ml asked permission when he first kissed the FL. I also loved that their names were Salvation and Love.

King The Land is my Number 1 all time favorite kdrama!!!

Celina Aug 31 2023 12:53 am Overrated rom-com Ever!!! Cheesy, boring as hell. OMG...the romantic scenes made my skin crawl. Sooooo cheesy like those scenes you usually watch in C-Dramas.

Dreamgear Aug 27 2023 5:30 am Dont waste time on this unless you are big fans of the leads….

dane Aug 27 2023 2:47 am The story is just common just like many others romcom Boss/employee romance. I guess a lot prefer this kind of genre , just light comfort story with no stress. Also It proves that even if the main lead are not just attractive like the male lead , his not that handsome compared to other actors but he has a lot of charisma and the acting is on point , also the female lead is not that a beauty , just a common Asian beauty but they clicked. the story is okay though to those who are fund of romcom but this is better than business proposal and what's wrong with secretary Kim.

Sarah Aug 26 2023 9:57 pm This drama was the best of the best rom com ever. Their relationship was ni break up. So matured and healthy. Season 2 please?

Sann Aug 25 2023 1:58 am I don’t usually like romcom dramas but King The Land such a great romcom dramas. I fell in love with the two main characters Sarang and Guwon. It’s a cliche plot but their chemistry is out of the roof that it feels so much like it’s something different. I love watching this series and will watch it again❤️❤️

Isla Aug 14 2023 5:32 am King The Land is my favorite drama for 2023 and is on the top of my favorite RomComs and comfort Kdrama of all time. There's a lot of things I like about KTL. First, Yoona and Junho's chemistry is undeniably strong. It shows in every episode and scenes they're together. 2nd, the supporting cast are also good and enjoyable to watch. 3rd, it tackles different issues in a light hearted manner but still coming up with resolutions. 4th, it's so cliche in many ways but it also have its own charm and uniqueness. 5th, it's so easy to watch, I find myself smiling so many times throughout the series. I highly recommended this drama! Enjoy watching!

Lexi Aug 12 2023 12:35 pm Nice rom-com, great on screen couple but the characters are too idealistic.

Kat Aug 11 2023 6:06 pm Loved this series so much thanks writers and directors good job cast was amazing wishing there was at least two more episodes loved it so much . Have see it twice so far

Anya Aug 09 2023 4:52 am Good chemistry between Junho & Yoona ! Can't move from this romantic couple !!

Shellie Aug 08 2023 8:30 pm Loved this!!!❤️ They were so romantic together. The storyline was not boring and the support cast was wonderful. And the best part - no break-up scenes! Well done! ⭐️?❤️

Rahzie Aug 08 2023 5:27 pm The happiness it brings, King The Land is the best romcom kdrama for me ever. Even the behind the scenes were so good & heart fluttering such a natural & outstanding acting of the lead characters. It feels like Im watching a real life kdrama. Though it got so many negative comments here maybe but the ratings & rankings speaks otherwise. It was so love by the viewers all over the world. It got number 1 in Ntflix for non english tv show. It also got 323 million viewing hours beating other kdramas that aired last year.

eusha Aug 08 2023 6:22 am Just leaving a comment for everyone to be aware: the webtoon referenced in a comment below is a Spinoff of the Drama. the drama is an original work, not an adaptation of a webtoon.

The drama was a sweet and refreshing straight up romcom, no genre mixing, a modern take on classic kdrama romcoms that we all know. It was really fun and funny to watch. By modern spin, it isn't a typical rich guy poor girl chaebol drama. The main FL is working class and not desperately poor. She has a decent job and tons of skills. Main ML was both supportive of her and willing to learn from her and grow as a person. It was very easy to watch and honestly I'm grateful it was, I needed that break!

Thebestdrama Aug 08 2023 3:58 am Love it, the best romcom drama this year. I smile a lot, from the start till the end. Love all cast too, always happy when i watch this drama. Sooo much happiness. Love, Love, Love, unlimited Love from me...

BtoB_321 Aug 07 2023 6:46 pm The drama that start really really good but going down in the middle (?)

I really like the story is has comedy and the romance is not cringe (for me).. but I think this drama left a lot of main point from it's original work (webtoon).. for example the fact they met in childhood days when FL's mother working at ML's house plus how she got fired.. the point that ML actually remembered (or kinda?) his past life.. the fact that the father in webtoon is much more worse like he let his son got drowned just because he want his son to be strong.. and many others (I think)..

Nevertheless, I think this drama really give a lot of disappointment after all the hype we got in the early episodes... I don't know if you all have different opinions from me, but for me who love reading the webtoon, just got really disappointed by this adaption which usually the reason I avoid watching any drama adaption from webtoon like Sweet Home and See you in my 19th life..

chris Aug 07 2023 12:08 pm A romcom that stays true to its genre from start till the end. I agree the plot isn’t much and its premises is full of cliches but for some reason it’s not cringey or boring at all. Rather, it’s full of pleasant surprises in places that I never thought a ‘cliche’ romcom would go.

I think for the most part it’s due to the actors’ explosive chemistry. The leads are also mature, communicative, and they break the usual chaebol/employee stereotypes in the most pleasing way possible. The male lead actually listens and learns a lot from the female lead, and she isnt the typical naive, powerless or insecure.

It is also a mix of slice-of-life of service workers and accurately depicts their struggles. Their problems may seem ordinary but it’s really what makes it relateable to me as one myself. All in all it’s a very enjoyable watch to me and i found myself looking forward to new episodes every week. Totally deserves the hype.

jing Aug 07 2023 11:36 am I love both main lead actors but it is a very bad plot, so boring. Disappointed.

Luna Aug 07 2023 10:14 am This drama is super boring! I dropped at episode 6, I already could guess the ending. Rich chaebol guy with poor pretty girl. Nothing unique, is just like any other cinderella story. Similar with Business proposal.

Xu Aug 07 2023 8:25 am The story of each episode in this drama is very interesting. I like the chemistry relationship of gu won and sa rang.

Bila Aug 07 2023 5:18 am Light and bright ✨ nothing too sad, too dark and traumatic. This is a pure entertaining story.

I just don't really like the English theme song I don't know what the title is--what a weird song, it damaged the atmosphere.

Lily Aug 06 2023 10:55 pm I understand ktl is a romcom and should be something that's easy to watch, but why was it so lackluster? The plot was incoherent. There should still be some depth to the storyline, it felt empy, like somethings missing. I'm sorry but, endless tropes and kissing scenes alone doesnt mean it's a good drama. Can't believe they took 9 months to film this!!!! This was so dissaponting as a Lee junho fan, it makes me believe he just chose this drama because he has feelings for Yoona. Smh

Marivic Del Prado Aug 06 2023 7:25 pm It’s the Greatest Love as one discover each other heart willing to give everything even oneself totally and all the time to each other ! What a Beautiful and Magnificent Drama of all time! Simple and Penetrating to human heart ! Fiat

ONELOVE Aug 06 2023 6:53 pm This is the best rom-com drama this 2023. i love how mature Guwon and Sarang's relationship. The PD didn't give us heartache but has effectively shown what true love is. ❤ 1,000 thumbs up for KTL. Perfect weekend drama.

Rchan137 Aug 06 2023 6:38 pm For once, the chaebol parent is supportive of his son and “commoner” girlfriend. Yoona is a beautiful bride. Highly recommend. Enjoyed the ending.

UC Aug 06 2023 4:55 pm

Contains spoilers*

This drama started so well and was funny. I liked the friendship between the characters and the conflict between the siblings. The writer built the storyline so well that I’m at a loss as to how it went downhill. Did the writer give up towards the final episodes, did they hire a ghostwriter to complete it. What an anticlimactic towards the end. For the first time I was bored and lost interest in the storyline.

There was so many unanswered questions, regarding his mother, the relationship between his sister and father should have been explored more and closure should have occurred. He never even introduced his girlfriend to his mother. What happened to the conflict between the siblings, I thought there would be a build up towards the fight for ownership between siblings but all we saw that he already became become president overnight and all of the sister’s threats didn’t materialise. This drama gave me memory lapse, I was so looking forward to climax of the drama and the showdown between the siblings that when I saw he has already become the president without a fight, I lost interest in the story, it felt like there was a time jump. What was the whole point of building the story in this line if it was going to be abandoned.

Also, are we as viewers meant to believe the highest role the FL could achieve in the hotel was being a special made to the owners ?‍♀️. She couldn’t be promoted to a management position or any other department and was it necessary for her to buy her own B&B when she marries the ML she’ll have to move in with him as he can’t travel to and from her place to his hotel due the long distance.

There was just so many unnecessary plots added and instead they could have used the time allocated to those useless plot to complete other storylines that were just left unfinished.

I only recommend the up to the trip to Thailand episodes the rest are lacklustre. It’s truly a mediocre ending.

Shereen Harverye Aug 06 2023 4:07 pm I fell in love with the two main characters Sa Rang and Won Gu as well as the storyline. Please make a season 2 and let their story continue. There is so much more to see of their stories. I loved watching this series and will watch it again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

daisy Aug 06 2023 3:49 pm worst drama i've watched this year, what a waste of two months and sixteen episodes. badly directed, uninteresting story lines, unnecessary scenes. looks like a fan fiction written by an eleven year old . nothing intriguing about the movie.like why does this movie even exist, i was waiting and hoping for it to get better but it didnt.

Ish Aug 06 2023 1:01 pm A lovely love story, just the way I like them. Lim Yoon-A is perfectly at home in this role. Her smile is devastating.

RK Aug 06 2023 12:20 pm Seriously it started so good and then after episode 10 it started getting more and more boring and pointless. Such a bad show and so cringe. The kissing scenes was so unnecessary. 2/10 and I’m only giving 2 because of the start of the show

Kimchi Aug 06 2023 11:17 am Hmm.....I like "Wok of love" more....

Joila Aug 06 2023 1:10 am I rarely comment on a show unless I like it a lot or it disappoints me. The episode 15 is a real joke. Poor scriptwriting, adding a twist for the sake of having it. Poor LJH and Yoona for having this kind of drama. It's super shallow and pointless.

AL Aug 05 2023 9:03 pm Poor script in episode 15! OMG what was that!!! Does not make anysense, is it a plot twist for the sake of a twist... sooo bad it just down graded the whole drama! Unless she turns around and says its a joke. ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️

midnightsky Aug 05 2023 8:13 am Is this drama written by AI?

Doctorzais Aug 05 2023 1:14 am Horrible directing, very weird pauses during certain scenes....I think the director fell asleep while filming.

Very uninspired rom com that had alot of promise but just was completely let down by the director

Krish Aug 04 2023 1:31 pm Other than some clichè romantic scenes , which are also copied from other dramas there is no storyline. Worst drama of the century.

Sofia Aug 03 2023 6:17 am I love this drama , it has something spacial that makes the whole show exiting and chaotic, but the fact that increases the watchers to « king the land « is the chemistry between gu won and sah rang or lee junho and yoona. Besides that everything else is also perfect, enjoyed watching every episode, and waiting with all might for the lasts episodes for this weekend, I’m really hoping into a happy ending and thank you all !!

Renwa Aug 02 2023 10:34 am King The Land: So loving this Rom Com which may seem like a lovely routine drama…Until it gets elevated to something really special by a sterling cast and Director. Director Im Hyun-Wook captures the audience within minutes of the opening and never let’s go. His directing signature seems to be “clean crisp efficient scenes”…so refreshing & effective. The Actors: I literally became giddy as each entered the drama. Lee Joon Ho, a known talent brings such energy here. He’s amongst a group of actors that risk trying all ilk of screenplays. Every script is not The Red Sleeve but delivers equal pleasure & gravitas to every project. TY. Pleased to meet Lim Yoon-A…beautiful nuanced performance. My favorite ladies, Go Won-Hee & Kim Ga-Eun cast in the same drama…Wow! Of Course Kim Young-Ok…what’s to say but thank you❤️ Kim Sun-Young…OMG playing a character you love to hate? like despise…that’s acting! Son Byung Ho continues to dominate the screen with a special charisma. Ah Woo-Yeon is on his way as well dominating the screen in his scenes. Two more episodes to go this weekend. Don’t miss this one! Just a simple pleasure by a great staff & production team. TG for this gift to the viewers.❤️

Alin Aug 02 2023 7:51 am As it almost comes to an end, I hope all will be well for the couple and also for Gu's mother. However, for this kind of drama I miss "The Heirs" that is still unmatched by today's dramas.

nalimo Aug 02 2023 4:20 am it's a lighthearted romance, the plot is very cliche, but I liked how the characters were written, it was refreshing, usually in the rich & poor kind of romance, characters themselves might think they're doing something wrong and it creates some kind of drama, but I liked how in this show both characters were very confident of themselves, their own standing and their relationship, they trusted each other, they treated each other as a fellow human, they both knew their own worth and the worth of their partner regardless of what society might think. The show doesn't offer you much of a plot, a story, but it offers you likable characters, overall I enjoyed it, acting and production was also good.

Mirium Aug 02 2023 2:28 am The story line is so childish that, at times, it is painful to watch. So a waste of Junho’s talent.

Anylee Aug 01 2023 5:44 pm I'm loving this drama! Its soft, sweet and a great romance overall. The leads have insane chemistry!!! If You enjoy a light romcom this is it for you. If You want something melodramatic and full of plot twists You should find another drama to watch. No need to write hateful comments (just go watch something else lmao)

Junglee Jul 31 2023 9:21 am I wonder if I grew out of these dramas. To me, this one of the most boring ones. All cliches were checked: traumas in childhood, growing up alone, chaebol, rich boy, poor girl, she trips and he catches her, dating in a playground, bad blood between siblings, managers without work ethics, lazy inlaws, the rich father has a son from an affair, etc, etc....Boooooring. Actors are very likable and I feel they can do much, much more....this drama doesnt do them justice

SAKSHEE DOBARIYA Jul 31 2023 3:11 am Please end with happy ending

Meng Jul 31 2023 3:01 am Note for art director or set director...Sarang was serving food to the boy's room without a cover and calling out to greet occupant of the room...over the uncovered food. Doesn't fit the grandeur of the hotel and her maid costume.

Mariel Jul 30 2023 11:18 pm King the Land is the best, light, entertaining, funny and filled with warmth, true friendship and love.. the setting is perfect- Bangkok, London, Jeju Island, super great for a great cinematic experience?✅?.. The cast and crew did a superb job and still do.. Junho and Yoona are not just Kpop Idols, but great actors, they give justice to their roles, I am just convinced that they are in love, hoping that this is also true in real life???Congratulations everyone ??✅?hoping that this rom-com will bring joy and laughter.. God bless ?

Jimmy Jul 30 2023 3:15 am I do love (almost) every rom-com kdrama. But, sorry, it's not my cup of tea. Storyline 4.5/10, Acting skills 9/10

Alma Jul 28 2023 5:41 pm Plot : 4/10 (not interesting storyline) its becoming boring. No build up of their love story. A typical romcom of Boss and Employee ?

Peju Jul 28 2023 7:14 am Very interesting and funny,Love it❤

Bei Jul 28 2023 4:13 am Not my cup of tea. Another typical CEO and secretary love story romcom like business proposal, secretary kim and other kdrama. The story is light and typical kdrama CEO and his worker relationship. Guess since this is also broadcast in Nelflix that’s why others are curious. I prefer action Thriller, action romcom like crashlanding on you or descendant of the sun type of love story. Selected fantacy like alchemy of souls. Zombies series. Selected historical action drama like the Kings affection, Mr. Queen. Revenge drama like the promise, school 2015. Horror/ Thriller like revenger. This is my type of story of kdrama that excites me in every episode. There’s already hundreds of romcom bout this type of plot of boss over worker love story, there’s no exciting part in this type of kdrama. But we have different taste and opinion and this is my opinion,thanks.

Lana Jul 27 2023 10:43 pm There were a lot of filler episodes that didn't make any impact in this drama, plus there's no plot, so it's incredibly boring. The dialogue is also unfunny and unnatural, which makes it so cringe-worthy.

Gee Jul 26 2023 12:45 am It was really nice to see Eps 11&12 move forward to see Won get some actual work done. This series is light and fun, it may have some fillers and eye rolling moments but too much kissing isn’t one of those. In my view, it’s been one of the most realistic portrayals of a new couple in love in Kdrama land. A new couple in love can’t get their hands off each other and are always looking forward to being together. For this, I’m grateful to the director and the main leads for not going for the usual wierd kdrama love stories where couples only kiss once or twice.

Catherine Jul 24 2023 3:41 pm This is getting boring. Where in the world do you see an employee bossing their employer around? The employee dictates Where her boss should work? The male lead is becoming a wimp! Some comments are correct if they say the title should be Kiss the land instead of King the land.

Suzanne Jul 24 2023 7:50 am Episode 11 - Seriously, the beef tenderloin from “free range organic cows from an animal Welfare farm”??? What kind of animal welfare farm slaughters the animals? What propaganda rubbish!

Erra Jul 24 2023 6:57 am No development of the story, it becomes boring. That characters are weak...

anonymous Jul 24 2023 5:23 am tbh i really loved this drama in the beginning. but im so disappointed because there are no plot development so it make the story too plain for 16 episodes of drama. yeah its cute and the chemistry was good but it getting boring and boring huhuhu

Meng Jul 24 2023 12:54 am Disappointed in Sarang's reaction when she heard the chairman's mention of Gu Won's wedding plans... thought her classiness and coolness would shine thru instead.

TV Jul 23 2023 10:35 pm Great rom-com. I enjoyed every episodes! Can’t wait for the coming episodes!

TDS Jul 23 2023 2:51 pm Not surprise to see King the Land family arrange his marriage....who was surprised was his girlfriend??????

        Let's see he can explain the situation.

Ferra Jul 23 2023 1:09 pm Sorry to say, but i though this time Junho pick a wrong project. Poor story, poor director. An acting as Baeksang Winner’s level just wasting his talent on this drama. So different level from The Red Sleeve.

Hamilton Jul 23 2023 11:08 am I really enjoy the story, the chemistry is top notch and the story makes me giggle and laughing a lot. it's the only drama i watch over and over again just to see the chemistry and funny scene. The story is light and perfect to relieve stress, recommended for one who seek romcom drama with so much fluff moments

Luna Jul 22 2023 11:13 pm Because of this show, I no longer like Junho. Tbh, he’s not that charming compared to my other korean oppas. I only admire him coz he’s an award-winning actor for his last drama. But that excellency and decency were all missing now…

I watch kdramas for their uniqueness, creativity, and modesty. But I think this drama failed to exhibit that qualities. So I’m dropping this after making it this far. But still, thank you for the first few episodes that made me laugh so hard…

I sincerely apologize for my brutally honest opinions.

BagMyHeartOut Jul 22 2023 9:01 pm So-so... Far from being the best K-drama but I'm sticking it out through the end because of Lee Jun-ho joka.

Laura Jul 22 2023 3:01 pm This is the kind of lighthearted drama I needed! Nothing too intense plot wise. I have watched such intense, kdramas this year. I needed a sweet, light kdrama to end the summer. Loving every episode!!

Kat Jul 22 2023 2:39 pm I’m enjoying this series soooooo much love cast love kissing scenes love everything about it Praying for a super happy ending

Luna Jul 22 2023 12:35 pm What’s happening to this drama? Episode 11 and yet, there was no progress. They only show overly lovey-dovey scenes. From falling for each other too early, to kissing excessively, then what comes next? Are we expecting bed scenes? Geez

I never thought I could skip scenes now. I barely finished the episode coz it keeps getting boring. I like the 100th-anniversary event scene tho. Other than that, there’s nothing worth watching. I think this drama is an embarassment to the wholesome reputation of korean dramas.

Kate Jul 22 2023 8:02 am To be prank, I am a little bored when it comes Gu Won and Sa Rang kissed together in the episode 8 or 9 (don’t exact remember) but still there is a moral lesson giving by the grandma of Sa Rang that before you build an own family, you should have an own house and savings because nowadays, couples build own family but they are spending money to rent instead of having an own house. And, despite of encountering boredom in other episode still I love the main characters “Gu Won & Sa Rang”. Hoping that episode would be uploaded soon ??? Thank you so much!!!

Likethisdramaalot Jul 22 2023 5:28 am I'm not agree with some of you. But as usual, everyone has different taste. For me, i enjoy this drama sooooooooo much. Because this is so simple, make me smile, relax and happy. Yeah, i'm soooooooo happy watch this drama. OMG, loooove it very very much. Make my weekend so happy. I hope this drama has 1000+ episodes, lol...

karen Jul 21 2023 10:29 pm The drama is too cringy to be honest. The leads do nothing but just showing lovey dovey moments. There is no plot development

yayaland Jul 21 2023 3:43 am This drama should have 10 episodes only. It’s dragging and cringy. So sad for junho and yoona, i like both of them.

Ciel Jul 21 2023 2:34 am I hope they're not sibling and have same mother ?

nia Jul 20 2023 2:07 am the worst drama i've ever seen in 20 years i watched kdrma. i like the cast but the storyline doesn't taste on me. sorry 4/10

Dave Jul 19 2023 11:05 pm Very Good Drama. Very Funny, and so entertaining!

VL Jul 19 2023 10:32 pm I have to agree with many that this drama is too cringy and overly fairy tale like. Well, if you don't mind the writing, just need a relaxing and light drama to watch, it is still entertaining and enjoyable. There are several humurous moments that make me laugh non-stop too. If not for Junho and Yoona, don't think i can continue watching this.

Cherry Jul 19 2023 6:41 pm This drama is an example that just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good...smh The writing is just terrible even Junho couldn't save it. When Yoona acts it seems like she's only focused on looking pretty for the camera, way too animated.

OVERRATED Jul 19 2023 5:15 pm For me this drama is so overrated and overhyped. There is no actual plot and it got so boring in the past episodes. Ratings really doesn't guarantee the quality of the drama.

Jojo Jul 19 2023 12:08 pm I like the actors in this drama - but sorry, after episode nine I was over the lovey-dovey scenes. What a cringe!! I thought this had a good story line, I stopped watching it, best decision i ever made - i ended up watching the 1938 Tale of the Nine Tailed Fox on Prime OMG! That was so awesome!!

ARA Jul 19 2023 11:03 am So many things I want to say about this drama. I want some light drama, but not this kind of irrational and cringey scenes put it almost everywhere. How many times I tried to give up continue this drama because of Yoona and LJH. No offense tho, at first I want to watch this drama because of both of them but their characters in this drama really put me off. What makes me still continue this drama is Yoona's friend love life. The stewardess.

Juli Jul 19 2023 2:22 am I love this drama. Very funny. The scenery is also beautiful. All the actors are great especially the main actor and actress are look so good together. Their acting skills also very good. Although the storyline is not that good but I still watch it until the end.

dramadramadrama Jul 19 2023 1:33 am I gave up after episode 7. Cringey and got kind of lame. They just got together just like that? A bit boring. I like the actors but the storyline just got boring

Za Jul 18 2023 10:47 pm No offense with the cast, but I agree with everyone that the storyline of this drama is that bad. I know that the story is a fiction, but the story seems very irrational for me.

No deep talk for building the connection, just one or two usual dialogues, came from completely different background and character, then they could fall that hard for each other with only few eps? Hhhmm. Thus, dragging the recent episodes with vacation/date scenes with no character development. It would be better if they could develop the story first rather than seems fast pace in the beginning then dragging in the middle.

Not to mention on the Arab prince portrayal. Just a big no

Too bad

Long time fan Jul 18 2023 8:42 pm No offense please I don't like this drama. In my opinion it doesn't really show Junho's acting skill. I know he's a good actor from his previous dramas and movies, but it doesn't show here. Also, for me, the story is too much. I don't mind with kissing scene as long as the story line is good. So this is my first time thinking to stop watching Junho's drama. So sad..

Samantha Jul 18 2023 6:14 am I watched this drama because of Yoona and Junho. The story is my bad because it's funny and romance. I can't wait for the next episode. Yoona and Junho are amazing actors. King The Land, fighting! Yoona and Junho, fighting! Love you guys ??.

Wurry Jul 18 2023 2:19 am The drama must be quite popular but still for me Just Between Lovers was Junho's best of all

lalaland Jul 17 2023 11:24 pm the visuals and the sexiness. stress-free drama.. just watch and enjoy??

Anonymous Jul 17 2023 2:19 pm Firstly, I really don't like the drama, am really forcing myself to watch this drama, everything about the drama is a little bit annoying...

No offense please, the only people I love and I like to see are only pyeong hwa and the guy with her in the aeroplane... I also feel Thier romance is too quick, and it is really forced

 Anyways kudos to all casts

Grace Jul 17 2023 2:12 pm I liked this series at first, truly, But after ep 10, I won't be watching anymore. I will only watch ep 16 to know the ending. Ik he didn't want to be the Heir of the company but he made a decision not too long ago in the episodes and he still isn't shown as someone that takes proper measures to back up his decisions. The romance is wayyyy too much. Like the first kiss was amazing, but ep 10 was extra lol... I want to see more comedy and ML doing something to grow as a leader + FL helping him.

The arab portrayal was disappointing as well.... 3/5 Stars for the overall show so far.

Luna Jul 17 2023 11:39 am Too much staring, flirting, and kissing. I’m getting annoyed now. I don’t like jun ho’s acting and role. He looked like a clingy obsessed boyfriend and not a competent head manager. This drama has no sense anymore. But I love the trio. Their acting was so natural, funny, and convincing. Tbh, the side story of the flight attendant couple was much better than the main leads.

Kiminowawa Jul 17 2023 12:03 am every time i watch this, my heart is so happy, it's become the weekend drama that i've always been waiting for ?

Karla Jul 16 2023 10:55 pm Episode 10 had me Melting!!! So so cute!! Love this rom com!!

Laura Jul 16 2023 10:52 pm I'll watch it till the end because of Junho, but probably never rewatch it. When I'll miss Junho, I'll rewatch his other dramas and movies, because I love all of them. Fighting, Junho, your next project will be amazing!! ❤️

Bee Jul 16 2023 6:23 pm @Goo the drama isn’t about him becoming the CEO in the first place he doesn’t even want to be CEO He only decided to take care of the hotel because of how the workers are being treated

This drama is an amazing one! The story is about Sa Rang and Gu Won love story, you don’t expect them to shift from the actual story

Anne Jul 16 2023 4:39 pm For me.. KTL is a light drama and enjoy to watch after a long day working. Let ur brain to rest, no thingking too much. Love this drama

Lorena Jul 16 2023 4:35 pm Loooooved episode 10 and all the adorable scenes!!!! Really solidifying them as a couple. I have a feeling the next couple of episodes will be intense with mother investigations and hotel drama, so I’m happy we were able to see a few episodes of them as a happy couple!!

Gee Jul 16 2023 4:21 pm Ok, I feel a bit disappointed with Ep10. I know it’s a romcom but watching a vacation for 1hour was exhausting. We want to see Won get some work done. We are curious about his mother. We want to see some work place politics, his managerial competencies and how he will protect the employees (not only Sarang and her friends) and get some revenge for his mother. We love Jun ho but we are desperate to love Gu won, as Head Manager. Thank you ?

Goo Jul 16 2023 3:07 pm Gu Won doesn’t deserve to be the CEO, the other woman works her ass off to be in that position. I was a bit irritated at him giving Sa rang and her friends a week long vacation, because he wants to be with her?? He doesn’t make any CEO actions or decisions, and also very impulsive. He is literally just lazying off in his vacation, while the other woman works. And they will definitely give him the hotel at the end of the series.

Kat Jul 16 2023 2:10 pm I am so happy watching this series can’t get enough of it Cast is amazing so enjoyable I want to watch it again!!! Good job writers and directors and cast .

Jessica Jul 16 2023 11:41 am I've been watching dramas for over 12 years and this drama is such a huge dissapoinment. I had my hopes up because It was so over hyped and for what, terrible script that sounds like it was written by chat gpt. Not even feeling the chemistry between the leads, they give me a brother/sister vibe. If anything, the flight assistant couple has way more chemistry.

Luna Jul 15 2023 7:58 pm I just wish they put on some cosmetics to Yoon A like eyebrows and light blush on coz her face looks so plain considering her job in King the Land. She’s pretty and has bright personality so at least match it with makeup to enhance her beauty.

José Kramer Jul 15 2023 1:15 pm We love this serie so much! We love a lot of Korean drama's! Since we look Korean drama's we don't want something else anymore.

Korean drama is so Pure and so sensitive and always with so much love and humor.

And this drama / comedy is so very nice. We are laughing so much!! Its so good!!

Keep going on making series like these!! We love them so much!!

Best regards from The Netherlands Europe!

Noona Jul 15 2023 10:40 am One of the worst romcoms out there.

amanda Jul 15 2023 4:54 am King the land is light and fun drama, even though the plot is not really convincing but main leads chemistry is really strong enough to convince many people to watch i enjoy a lot watching this, their comedy also is on point this just bring us to the old type kdrama whoever cast Junho and YoonA in this drama is just got a big jackpot.

Riamadhani Jul 14 2023 11:38 pm Whoever said Guwon is the weakest CEO character, should learn the plot first. Guwon is capable but he doesnt have any interest to become the heir. He come to King Hotel because someone sent him a file about her late mother. He intend to leave after know the truth about his mother's death. But after meet sarang and learn about his employees struggle under his noona's leadership, he slowly want to protect the employees esp Sarang.

Rimjhim Jul 14 2023 12:40 pm I really really loved it. I just love it it fantastic and the leads are very good with their acting and comedy.❤❤❤

Panda Jul 14 2023 7:18 am So, this drama is mainly about the main lead busy pursuing a girl instead of working.. lol.. probably this is the only downside of this drama

Hika Jul 13 2023 7:03 pm I love this drama so much! The comedy, the romance. Everything is just right! This drama becomes more special because of Yoona and Junho. Hope you two and the crew keep healthy.

King Jul 13 2023 3:51 am The drama is good esp becoz its junho and yoona but my one comment is that of all thr dramas with CEOs or bosses, junho’s character is the weakest. Its basically nepotism. He doesnt show thr least interest in running thr company. He used comp expense for a helecopter then when he is in his ofc all he does is think of yoona and do NOTHING. Even the promo video he was not cooperative. No help at all. He even graduated in europe but he doesnt put it to good use. I hope he will show that he is a competent leader to make him more desirable as a ML.

Nami Jul 12 2023 12:04 pm Amazing romance and comedy drama. I have not felt this good since ever! I found myself smiling and skipping beat all throughout like a fool in love all over again! And seems like some ppl are too sensitive, I am from Russia and I have seen my people being represented as evil, dumb grumpy villains all the time in movies and dramas and never took it to heart and laughed it off on the portrayal. The purpose of Samir in the drama was just to induce jealousy of the ML and give us sth to laugh about on their bicker. It was very fun to watch and I liked his character. Why ya’ll have to be so serious and negative???

Meagan Jul 11 2023 10:08 pm I am loving the music in this show! It’s so good ! One song gives Me goblin vibes . This is the best show!

Valy Jul 11 2023 12:26 pm Best Romance-Comedy Drama of 2023 I'm in love with Gu Won and Sa Rang, it kinda reminds me of 25-21 I love that drama (Back Yi Jin and Hee Do) shame that the writer throw the whole series in the GARBAGE with the last episodes

Nui Chawngthu Jul 11 2023 11:35 am Lee Joon Ho & Lim Yoona are made for each other.. Love them so much

Manda Jul 11 2023 5:13 am First episode. I find it funny already,and it keeps getting better every episode, but some of the scene is quite boring but they try compensate it with funny moments. Keep on waiting every Saturdays and Sundays. ?? i just dont like the witch. Lol! I see the rating is getting higher. Deserve it

Jheya Jul 10 2023 10:32 pm I dunno! But this series makes me come back from watching korean drama series! I stopped watching kdramas because i cant find something that suit my taste! While waiting for some episode " the real has come:" i decided to watch anoyher series and this series caught my attention! This series has a touch of Comedy, Romance, Friends And Family now i cant stop watching it! Cant wait for the other episode ?

Luna Jul 10 2023 9:29 pm The kind of mixed up we didn’t expect. The Red Sleeve ft. Squid Game ft. King The Land. Sooo hilarious! Lmao

Alex Jul 10 2023 4:32 pm This is such a fun quirky series. Yes, I don't really care for the mary-sue moments where this normal girl gets to have every single good break happen (from interviewing the ML to rising to the top and now being the fling for a prince?) It was grounded a bit at first, where her career seemed pretty normal but there just seems to be a lot of fantasy fulfillment with this recent prince arc...

But beyond that, the quirky humor is rather fun. Chemistry of the actors is good, I Love the ML. Frankly, the better parts of the show have been Gu Won vs his sister and when the main relationship is a bit more semi normal.

Lilou Jul 10 2023 2:44 pm Amazing! Exactly the fluffy and cute rom com I was looking for! The acting is great and it just keeps getting better every episode!

Kanika Jul 10 2023 12:16 pm I love this drama and I’m waiting for every episode…..and people who are saying that for writing such praised comments are we getting paid….so I’m here to tell that …obviously No! It’s the best romcom of 2023…I’m a university student and for me dramas like these just makes my day even better!❤️

SY Jul 10 2023 9:14 am The attractiveness of this drama is Junho and Yoona's chemistry. As a romcom ... it does has all the elements. Thank goodness it does not have a b*tcheness character or love triangle element. Purely the attraction of Junho and Yoona and their subtleness of their relationship development. Really enjoying this KTL:-)

Saysay Jul 10 2023 6:16 am Ep 8 was really funny ? I really like it

Mary Jul 09 2023 10:26 pm King The Land is very entertaining! Love episode 8! I was laughing the whole time. The 2 leads have an awesome chemistry.

Sanjie Jul 09 2023 8:34 pm It started out so good but why oh why…it’s getting boring and annoying. Too much staring at each other and out of place bantering, flirting, you name it….been fastforwarding scene after scene. Not good. Smh!

Rhosy26 Jul 09 2023 2:18 pm Wow the kiss was so passionate, you can fell from the bottom of your heart..

Kaywhite Jul 09 2023 2:03 pm The Kiss Was so hot????

Mandie Jul 09 2023 12:49 pm That kiss was sooo Hot!

Rango Jul 09 2023 12:27 pm Squid game guy..with his squid game uniform...and the male lead became Chef Pung again....haha

Rc137 Jul 09 2023 1:06 am Yoona rapping at beginning of ep 7 was so good. And the scene where Pyeong-hwa and Da-eul are talking about Sa-rang dissing Gu-Won was so funny……

Bibimbop Jul 08 2023 10:37 pm Too much of everything, the girl is like a magnet, perfect on men's eyes, the guy's gestures have surpassed the traits of prince charming of all fairytale, entertaining but so predictable, like a candy that is overly sweet, I didn't expect this excessiveness on a Karamazov, I know this is a Cinderella story but the she's are way too much that you don't feel giddy anymore, circumstances are way too much, rescuing a girl from a mountain while the helicopter takes off and didn't bother if the chaebol will be safe, I know this is just a story, please don't hate, it's after all, a weekend treat to relax after a day's cooking

Tira Sasmita Jul 08 2023 9:49 pm For King The Land series at least do not stop up to Eps 16, please continue longer if possible another Season 2. Since the movie give me full of smile as well and brighten my days

Sarang Jul 08 2023 6:45 pm Gu Won have been reincarnated from Yi San ?

Love_yoona Jul 08 2023 1:57 pm Ugh i looooove Yoona soooooo much... I can't sleep because thingking of her. Damn, lol... Watching her in this drama make me soooo happy... Saranghaeyo, My Beautiful Queen Yoona ???

Liliana Cerriteno Jul 08 2023 12:26 pm The king land is amazing me and my daughter enjoy watching it I truly recommend it not only because the actors are so good but because the love ? story is because and romantic ? it’s 100/100 must watch

Errica Lim Jul 06 2023 9:28 pm Watching this romcom alongside Junho's 3pm co-member - Taecyon's Heartbeat and I so love watching them and their adorable sides with their equally adorable FLs. I am just perplexed on the helicopter rescue scene, why is it that the scene in the hotel outside Junho's office is daytime as well as when he boarded the chopper but on Yoona's area, it is already dark considering that they are both still under the same time zones? ah.. maybe she just went in the shady dark forest. Anyways, happy to watch Junho again after the Red Sleeves followed by binge-watching all of his past shows.

een jessie Jul 06 2023 10:47 am I love this drama, Yoona and Junho chemistry very good. King The Land is the best romcom so far.

Owner love the cat Jul 06 2023 10:39 am Very very love this drama. I hope its became season 2

Kat Jul 05 2023 12:27 pm I am so in love with this series,I highly recommend it

Paula Jul 04 2023 5:17 pm yey ~ it reached #1 on Netflix Global Chart [Non-English] and it hasn't even premiered in India and Latin America yet

Commonsense Jul 04 2023 5:05 pm TBH this drama makes me shake my head! How could you took a helicopter to rescue someone but then just jumped down from it and let the helicopter flew back? ended up became another victim! LOL ..It doesn't make sense! But still..it is entertaining to watch!

businessproposal Jul 04 2023 1:33 pm This drama, King The Land is really enjoyable, I am only on episode 5 but it's so warm in the heart and makes you feel good with the awkwardness of Gu Won and his secretary. Chemistry are off the charts!

businessproposal Jul 04 2023 8:10 am This drama is doing all types of marketing strategy. Sorry…leads zero chemistry and overacting. Story is so bad.

Kimchi Jul 04 2023 6:03 am Ok...I hv to admit, the first 2 eposide was so boring . Thing changed..when I watch episode 5 & 6. I laughed a lot . I guess their getting comfortable with each other after few episodes. I just hope it has happy ending.

Grace Diamond Jul 04 2023 5:25 am I love this show. The chem is on point. The plot is excellent and the speed of the whole thing is great. I hope there won't be a cliche breakup between the leads though... I want them to stick together and communicate things. It would be great if that's the case because it shows that a relationship is not so fragile. One of the best dramas that did not have a breakup is Hate to love you. I loved that drama bc the leads communicated... I hope that's the case for this one!

Norizam Jul 04 2023 4:52 am love tis drama.... it is so entertaining...the male lead is handsome n female lead is very sweet... love their chemistry... cant wait for the coming episodes....

Dropped Jul 03 2023 8:24 pm The rescue scene in episode 6 is incredibly ridiculous, even for a romcom genre.

The ML is just a rich kid who thinks they can do everything when in reality, he have no brain. Some fans might argue that it's a cute and funny romantic scene, but it's clearly illogical.

One of the worst MCs compared to similar dramas like Business Proposal and What's Wrong With Secretary Kim.

It's a shame that someone as competent as Sa-Rang has to end up with an immature partner like Guwon.

To each their own Jul 03 2023 3:02 pm Some find KTL boring, not me. To me it is uplifting, fun and gives me heart flutters! After watching it I find myself smiling all day. Life can be hard and complicated. I’m all for a drama that can make me relax and forget the daily grind.

Bai Laohu Jul 03 2023 2:34 pm I am only watching this show because I love Junho and loved all his previous kdramas and movies. But I find King the Land incredibly boring. It's a struggle to watch each episode without dropping off to sleep in the middle. Predictable plots, scenes which are supposed to be funny are not funny. Lead female character is dull and uninteresting ( not the actress' fault, she is only acting out the role she is given - but overall a dull and lackluster performance). After such excellent shows like Good Manager and Red Sleeve, this show is very disappointing. I hope Junho chooses better kdramas/movies to act in next time.

Rc137 Jul 03 2023 10:03 am I’m on ep 2 so far. That scene of Gang Da Eul selling those sunglasses to the customer was so funny. Sound effects in Korean dramas are the best in the world.

Jef Jul 03 2023 12:15 am 12% rating for episode 6. It climb steadily. I guess the Rating prove otherwise for those early critics. Yoona smile is so sweet,it melts everyone who watch.

Abena Jul 02 2023 11:25 pm I love the chemistry between Yoona and Joon Ho. Also the supporting cast are acting like rent it do, you hear me!! They make all the other story lines worth while, I love the mc's friends especially. I will say that the story line with a female mc and a male chaebol kinda takes away from the romcom feel because in my head I'm like he's going to be responsible for all her work problems just to swoop in and 'solve it' because he can't bear to see her suffer (mountain story arc is a clear example). I already foresee her having to quit or getting fired or even getting blackmailed because of him. Like fr she just wants to work her dream job and earn a living and he's going to make that very difficult (for plot, I guess). I love Sun Young though she's serving very much smart, cunning and lethal villain and I'm here for it.

Luna Jul 02 2023 8:22 pm I was smiling the whole time I’m watching episode 5. I usually don’t like romance in a drama coz I can’t ever relate. However, these couple act so naturally that I can’t get enough of them. No dull moments. I also love the trio. I love the professionalism, commitment and dedication they show towards work. And how they’re having fun occasionally. Amazing friendship. This drama keeps getting better and better. Hoping more people could appreciate it.

Oli Jul 02 2023 6:55 pm True this show did help me cope with stress in a very weird way, maybe this kind of comedy can be therapeutic. Its so interesting before show started many people were whipped for it because of dreamy rich guy poor girl angle including me but once it began i could not even remember who is rich and poor, all i just end up watching is the comedic relief, at times i dont even remember guwon is a chaebol i just end up thinking of him as some sulky guy she met somewhere.

Ari Jul 02 2023 1:46 pm This is so good it’s really a good drama the concept is one of the best concepts there are to extists

Paula Jul 02 2023 2:10 am Just watched ep. 5 and died from their cuteness!! The funny scenes made me laugh out loud too. Best episode so far

Sakaru Jul 02 2023 12:25 am bro the recent episode dudee. The Dream masks were the most scariest of all loll. Also the end is the most chaebol thing ever bahaha. love it either way. really entertaining.

Seojin Jul 01 2023 11:37 pm Cliché romance drama I may say…like it’s been done a million times already. However, no matter what, I still watch it because this cliche are very entertaining.

I like Lee Joon Ho as male lead but not so much fan of Yoona though she’s ok. I felt like there’s other female actresses that suited more for the role like Jung So Min came to my mind.

But it is what it is might as well enjoy it.

Happy Jul 01 2023 7:09 pm Great drama! Great acting! Kudos! Love it! Saranghaeyo

Ol Jul 01 2023 6:27 pm That music from makjang shows or dramas like reborn rich that plays when no sang sik spots their photo in between the reports was funny and just shows the drama doesn't take itself seriously it is meant to be cringey, fluffy romance. No sang sik needs more scenes.

haha Jul 01 2023 5:53 pm i don't care other people who say this drama is cringey, too outdate story line, the lack of chemistry of the lead couple, etc. but I Love It, I Love The Cringey, I Love The Outdated Story Bcause It Reminds Me OF 2010'S Romcom Kdrama, I Love It All.... it's just nowadays lots, of kdrama have a heavy plotline, and serious backstory. i miss the old romcoms kdrama, and this drama brings it back...

Andrea Schusman Jul 01 2023 2:45 pm Loved loved so much! Funny , romantic what can I ask for a pleasant time . Jun -ho is one of my favourites actors and here his acting is great, not so hard like the Red sleeves but also excellent . Also Yona so cute . Love so much and sainting for next episode 6

Norik Baboorian C. Jul 01 2023 1:14 pm Wow Kim Yoon a has reached the top in acting , she is outstanding in this role , Brava Joon Ho and the total cast were selected well , thank you .

What made me just flipped over is at the end of the  5 th episode I heard a familiar sweet voice of my favorite singer Gaho singing—- —quickly googles it -  , found out it is called —— Yellow light——  love it love it love it .  .
I have been his big fan,  since I heard him for the first time , his  most incredible song  —Beginning —— , in  Itaewon class .
Ost of dramas are very much a big part of their charm  for me , of course itawoen class had one of the the best ost ever .

ANA Jul 01 2023 12:20 am The drama is really good and hopefully there is a character development for other character who acted as antagonist.

Elvera Jun 30 2023 9:48 pm What's not to like, beautiful people, gorgeous scenery fabulous soundtrack and everyone in this case doing their job. The two lead actors are really taking it over the top. The script is witty, the direction is right on and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

eprk2 Jun 28 2023 10:04 pm ,,interesting story..im looking forward,,cant wait for the next ep~

riamadhani Jun 28 2023 9:19 am First of all, they already stated before that this is a classic romantic comedy. it's common if you see such a same scenes in other kdrama with same genre. Junho and yoona both said this drama is funny and light. If you expect to get some slow burn melodrama, rethinking watch this. If your cup of tea is thriller with plot twist here and there, then this drama gonna be in your blacklist.

Personally, I think this drama is the epitome of romantic comedy, a drama that tickles your tummy, make you smiling alone in your bedroom... this is it. Yoona and junho have great chemistry. The comedy is fun! Especially eps 4 when guwon slowly transformed from a cold refrigerator man into a silly boy who fall in love. If you wanna feel the classic kdrama 2010-2015 feels, then give this a try. You won't regret it. Hermeees?

aliciaaNV Jun 28 2023 7:35 am King The Land is hilarious and fun! I am literally laughing out loud when I watch it. Junho has been brilliant. Watch the third episode and you see so many sides and emotions of Gu Won. I’m not as familiar with YoonA, but she has been delightful. She makes me understand the motivations and emotions of Cheon Sa Rang. As far as chemistry, have you seen Junho’s and YoonA’s Allure photo shoot? Holy smokes, it’s hot. Makes me anticipate what Gu Won and Cheon Sa Rang will be like, when both develop and acknowledge their feelings for each other.

Yvette Jun 28 2023 6:19 am I love this drama. It’s too fun to watch and the leads have strong chemistry. Idk why some ppl doesn’t like it. For me, the plot is very exciting and interesting

Yvette Jun 28 2023 6:18 am I love this drama. It’s too fun to watch and the leads have strong chemistry. Idk why some ppl doesn’t like it. For me, the plot is very exciting and interesting. There’s no boring parts

Maria Dela Jun 28 2023 12:20 am this is my first time so eager to watch k drama again. Most of kdrama recently is too heavy, King the Land is like a breath of fresh air. It really heals my stress, i lol and giggle throughout the film. Despite the typical romcom storyline, but i really enjoy this drama. The cinematography is 10 out of 10! so beautiful and comical. No one could convince me otherwise

Jay Santos Jun 27 2023 3:00 pm My reply to Luna- there's a plot twist ahead just watch you will be shock!

seina Jun 26 2023 9:45 pm romance comedy fairytale drama with amazing superb visual king & queen that everyone love is finally back!!!! This kind of drama is very good to release stress after work seriously

Luna Jun 26 2023 7:47 pm What I only dislike in a drama is the early development of feelings between the lead couple. I am the type of viewer who likes slow burn romance. They’re gonna lose the thrill if they fall in love too early.

Luna Jun 26 2023 7:12 pm Other viewers may not like this drama but as for me, it was fun to watch. Gu Won and Sa Rang look cute together. They have good chemistry and they were hilarious. I also love the two bestfriends of Sa Rang. I was really entertained by this drama ❤️❤️

BluerthanBlue Jun 26 2023 2:49 pm Guwon and the Police Officer's interaction in episode 4 brought me to tears from too much laughing. I wish for another interaction in the future.

Rango Jun 26 2023 9:08 am ...it would be nice to see if they partner him with Jung Ryeu Won from Wok of love for this drama...both of them really has strong chemistry in that drama....

Yoon Jun 26 2023 3:24 am Finished watching all 4 eps but sorry I feel like main leads chemistry don’t look natural and seem forced… both leads are successful and popular 2nd gen idols with strong fanbase. promotion is a lot compared to other dramas too so it’s understandable drama is quite doing well.

Kalatus Jun 26 2023 2:02 am Anyone knows the soundtrack in ep 2 ending scene at jeju island? When junho walking towards yoona at the pool

Michelle Jun 25 2023 10:37 pm Storyline is cringe. Leads lack chemistry. Stopped watching at ep 3.

Ivy Jun 25 2023 5:46 pm One of the best drama of 2023! It's truly entertaining. Such a fresh air, among many heavy dramas lately. I'm usually a big fans of heavy dramas (I love thriller, mystery, politics genre), so I kind of surprise that I like King the Land so much haha I guess I fell in love with the great acting from both leads and love the funny and sweet scenes here. I checked the rating and turns out it keeps increasing every episodes (and consider gets high rating because it airs on tv cable). It proves that this drama successfully charm everyone. Well done for production team and all actors!

Am Jun 25 2023 3:07 pm Uhm it’s a no for me… you’ve seen every single scene in this drama 100 times before in other kdramas.. sheesh.. it took me 4 days to get through episode 1. Actors are good looking but it’s a poorly written story lacking creativity (apart from the parachute landing which was a little funny.. just a little). It had a lot of potential but they messed the story up.. kdrama is generally cheesy but…This. Ain’t. It! I had such high hopes. Cheon Sa-Rang’s prejudices against Gu Won were made unnecessarily excessive..

It's me Jun 25 2023 2:43 pm I literally have stopped in episode 2. The stry line was cheesy that I can't stand. The main characters just unbelievable boring and acted like nonsense. This' typical romcom with the rich guy and poor girl wrapped as Cinderella, so so classic just like hundreds strory ever been made.

Wendy Jun 25 2023 2:00 pm I had high hopes for this show because I heard the main leads have good chemistry and illustrator Spoon is drawing the prequel. However so far the show has been very boring. I can't tell if it's their acting or the way the characters are written, but the main leads seem really one dimensional so I'm getting zero chemistry between them. It just seems like they look nice together because they're both good looking people so it appears they have good chemistry. And I know K-dramas are known to be cliche, especially rom-coms, and I can handle them to a certain degree but I wouldn't even have this playing in the background while I do chores lol

Emma Jun 25 2023 1:59 pm A funny fluffy rom com that is entertaining and simple. I like the ML he’s a good actor.

Tigerbeam Jun 25 2023 12:39 pm Fun chemistry and great settings but up until episode four it’s cringe level predictable story wise. Their “intimate” scenes are so prescribed, it’s basically plastic. Same with the conflict scenes between Gu Won and his sister/father. I’m just wondering how they gonna make the fun times last for 16 episodes at consistent pace considering how fast they’re blowing through all the standard romcom tropes before we’ve even hit the halfway point.

B00 Jun 25 2023 12:01 pm The main characters have no chemistry, how disappointing to watch this.

Nana Jun 25 2023 11:51 am ngl the plot is predictable and there are too many cliche k-drama scenes that i'd cringe at, but i'd be lying if i said i didn't enjoy it lmaoooooooooo i never expected myself to like it lol i mean - it's a rom-com k-drama after all. don't expect it to not be cliche. if it's not your cup of tea, then maybe you shouldn't watch rom-com k-dramas AT ALL [sigh]

but yes yall have a point. i too cringe at some cliches but hey... maybe try watching it less seriously? then you'll find yourself enjoying it a little. i suggest skipping stupid scenes like the characters staring at each other in slowmo for 10 seconds etc. lol

all in all i'm quite fond of this drama. for now. i've skipped many unnecessary scenes ofc but i'll be waiting for the next episodes...

Xingzhaolin Jun 25 2023 9:41 am Actually I just think this romcom will have a usual plot story like another romcom. But, when I start from very first episode until 4th ep..... these are unpredictable. I can't believe watch romcom drama without skip any scene. The main cast are really good in portraying their character. Their humor sense is so witty and feeling fresh. King The Land will gonna be my on going drama on weekend I'll spend with. ? Very nicee

Huy Jun 25 2023 8:11 am I really did anticipate this drama before airing since I love both main leads. However, I’m so sorry I just can’t finish it ig. The plot was meh for me, it just doesn’t suit my preferences:( It’s too predictable and kinda cringey. I know that romcom is supposed to be cringey, but I just can’t bear with this one sorry:( no hate. I really love Yoona and Junho

Committed to Kdrama Jun 24 2023 9:54 pm The chemistry and acting for main actor and actress is good. The only drawback for this drama is the story line is too precdective but I will continue to watch as my favourite actor is in the drama.

Aiat Jun 24 2023 10:19 am Just finished watching episode one, like seriously why she was surprised to see the suit? She has been working in the hotel for seven years and she hasn’t seen one?

Sam Rebula Jun 23 2023 10:38 pm I love the chemistry of main cast ? super realistic couple goodluck everyday Lee-Joon-Ho and Lim-Yoon-A, God bless ?

Noona Jun 23 2023 2:51 am @JC: Dive by 김우진 (Kim Woojin). Thanks to people (prob Kim Woojin's fans) on Twitter lol. But I don't think it's out yet bcs I can't find it anywhere. The only one that has been released is Yellow Light by Gaho

JC Jun 23 2023 1:49 am Anyone who knows the ost in the ep 2 where they're in the car? It sounds like Jinyoung or Jae? I'm really curious. Like the Ost made me fall for the singer's voice??

Charlotte Jun 22 2023 7:39 pm The male lead and female lead have perfect chemistry! This is the drama I bumped into bcs it made to the top 5 watch today Netflix in my country. I like it so much, I can watch it comfortably while having a meal. Thank you King The Land

ddy Jun 22 2023 12:07 pm This is the first drama that I get to watch with my mom together. I really want to share many happy things with my mom, especially enjoying a drama together. For us, the first episode is more like the introduction of the characters. Tbh, I laughed most of the time (for ep 1) because of sangsik, he’s naturally funny for me. I can see he will be guwon’s kind of best friend until the last episode, just like sarang with the girls “happy 3 friends”. As for ep 2? I love it to the point I rewatched it 2 times. I can see the character development and the background of the story (like why guwon doesnt love fake smile and the way they showed sarang’s story with her mom). I also love that this episode 2 has many new beautiful ost, especially for the last scene, Guwon’s forehead entrance!!

Sometimes, I feel like my life is so full of “working”. This drama can make me happy and get motivated to enjoy weekdays while waiting for weekend. Cant wait for what’s coming in the next episodes!

Conni Jun 22 2023 12:01 pm Oh my god!! This Guwon guy is so hot!!! I just started watching this drama and I’m already in love with this guy. Story line is good and very funny! I can’t wait to watch the next episode!!!

Katie Jun 22 2023 11:18 am i’ve been waiting for this drama ever since the trailer dropped and i love how the recent episodes have been going! the drama itself is so entertaining and fun and i’m having a great time experiencing the romance on screen. junho especially is doing such a good job portraying his character and i am so excited to see how the drama will continue!

Ana Jun 22 2023 11:13 am Such a good looking actor ??

Sarra Jun 22 2023 11:11 am The best drama I needed for the weekend. A romcom with a fun story, good visuals, funny. I don't want to rack my brain with drama noir or back and forth plot. Can't wait to see the next episode.

Kate Jun 22 2023 11:10 am Loved the show!! Both lead actor/actress looked really good. It’s perfect to enjoy without any thinking. I can’t wait to see next ep.

Katherine Jun 22 2023 10:37 am In just 2 eps I'm already falling in love with this drama. The ML and FL chemistry is overwhelming. Their visuals are no joke. Cinematography, OST is beautiful. Their comedic scenes were so funny and refreshing. Their 2nd eps ending was magnificent! I feel butterflies in my stomach watching it's ending. I'm craving for this kind of drama. After a long time finally I found home. Will be seated for the entire episode ♥️

annie Jun 22 2023 10:30 am finally, a fun light romcom to spend my weekend nights. just what I needed. I watched the 2 episodes they had so far and I'm loving it. I'll definitely keep watching

Maia Jun 22 2023 10:28 am This is really fun and enjoyable. Especially for people like me who needs a refreshing and fun experience after a stressful day at work. It will make you smile and laugh over simple things and boost your mood.

Ahran Jun 22 2023 10:25 am Finally a real romcom… the story and Junho and Yoona acting are so well matched.. can’t wait for next episodes

Audrey Jun 22 2023 10:25 am Fantastic series, already the talk of the town! King the Land is a breath of fresh air in a world needing light & love! Lee JunHo and Yoona are fun to watch!

Ahran Jun 22 2023 10:17 am I waited a long time for a happy and fun romcom like this :) We had enough of serial killers and thriller, so happy to finally watching a pure romance comedy drama... the original genre that attracted me to kdrama years ago.. Looking forward to see next episodes and how characters and story evolves.

Jodi Jun 22 2023 10:08 am I enjoyed the first 2 episodes! Classic romcom feels. Just the right balance of comedic and dramatic stuff. Junho and Yoona have amazing chemistry. Cant wait to see more of that in the next episodes!

Jules Jun 22 2023 9:54 am Funny, cute and intriguing. I came into the drama with reservations because the earlier teasers didn't catch me and the latter ones didn't give me enough story to decide whether I would enjoy it or not. But I'm happy to report that it's delightful. If you're looking to relax and laugh while watching beautiful people fall in love in beautiful settings, this is the show for you. If not, I get why you wouldn't like it. I definitely like it better than SYIM19L though, since other people mentioned that one. The idea of an immortal being developing a crush on an 8 year old kinda creeps me out. ?

But I digress. If you're looking for pretty, light-hearted fun, I would give KTL a try. 20 mins in and you'll probably be hooked.

Renee Jun 22 2023 9:52 am This is the perfect drama to wind down to after a busy week. There have been numerous scenes that left me in stitches! But beyond the comedic scenes, the main leads have been able to bring out their backstories through the impressive portrayal of their roles. I look forward to the next few episodes not just for the laughs, but also the growth in their characters!

Hv Jun 22 2023 9:45 am I love this drama so much. Romcom but i think not just an ordinary romcom..

CheonWon Jun 22 2023 9:43 am One of the best RomCom KDrama, very entertaining, you won't regret to watch this drama, please let us enjoy it, don't disturb, hermeeees ??

Ashley Jun 22 2023 9:35 am I really enjoyed it! A lot of Kdramas have been so dark and heavy, I’m really enjoying the lightness and fun of this drama. After a long work week, it’s a perfect watch to de-stress. And the visuals of Junho & Yoona are also fun to watch haha! Can’t wait for their characters to meet more in the upcoming episodes.

Fani Jun 22 2023 9:26 am Can't wait to watch eps 3,, the story is so fresh and relaxing. The chemistry and actors are great. Miss this kind of drama

Ann Jun 22 2023 6:30 am I don’t usually watch romcoms, but I liked this one. To be honest, this is my first time watching Lee Joon-ho’s kdrama, I don’t know why but anyway, I kinda like him already. we all have different opinions and different taste and we’re all entitled to say anything. I hope you guys will give it a try to watch, who knows maybe you’ll like it.

Ditto Jun 22 2023 2:56 am Totally agree with Elias A. The plot was too cringe, cliche and boring. I also skip most of the unnecessary part. The main leads have zero chemistry. However, I do love the chemistry between Sa Rang and No Sang Sik.

Elias.A Jun 21 2023 6:03 pm I usually enjoy romcoms, but there's something about this drama...the "funny" scenes were a bit cringeworthy. The main characters, they don't have good chemistry at all. I don't quite understand how people think the opposite. This drama was boring, and had to skip several times. I wouldn't recommend it, but of course people are different -.-

Lovely26 Jun 21 2023 4:24 pm Very nice really funny, all the cast i love it so far, especially the ML and FL, can’t wait for the next ep.

King and queens Jun 20 2023 5:13 pm I really loved that chemistry between sarang and no sang sik, they are practically now brother and sister, their airport scene when they abandon gu won for that hat guy was really good. The humor of this show is simple and enjoyable. His sister is very annoying, like 2 episodes and so far she has just 2 lines that she repeats like a broken record,'stay in your turf you will be okay', 'go back forever' , it is comical how she constsntly repeats same lines now. Give more on their issues or just focus on main and nice characters. So sa rang currently has bf, so they will break up in future? Or has she broken up because at the end scene of ep 2 she gets stunned seeing guwon so i was confused is she getting attracted while in a relationship or she is single.

Also if i am not wrong like every chaebol drama, gu won is likely an illegitimate son who is legally registered as his step mom's son,i could be wrong though.

Northerngirl Jun 20 2023 5:08 pm Wonderfully comical, corny and endearing. This is a drama that knows it is corny and sentimental but goes along with it. The result is a quirky and hilarious drama that's a joy to watch. Time well wasted indeed.

Jane Jun 20 2023 4:55 pm Loving it. Lighthearted. It has been a while since I got hooked on a Korean series.

Imsulemla Jamitsur Jun 20 2023 12:47 pm I'm loving it... really good chemistry.i don't know why people are hating this drama

Voila Jun 20 2023 9:50 am I couldn’t agree with Ana more! It’s cliched but so fun to watch! I laughed a lot watching this drama. It is my taste. Almost every scene was funny. Thanks for this lovely drama, JTBC. Actually, it’s my first ever liking to a drama made by JTBC.

Ana Jun 20 2023 9:04 am It’s so fun to watch, junho and yoona potray the character very well. It’s cliche but honestly I prefer this. Good luck for the next episodes

Nay Jun 19 2023 8:03 pm I love this drama. Fun, quirky and dramatic at times. Love the actors too.

aozora Jun 19 2023 6:53 pm Maybe because this is a highly anticipated drama, so ppl have high expectation.

Wondering for the next episode. How the plot will be.

Rita Jun 19 2023 12:21 pm opening episode delivered.. have recommended to friends

Sky Jun 19 2023 8:17 am Boring!!! Watched episode 2 to see if there will be an improvement from episode 1... Sadly, both episodes were worthless...

justina Jun 19 2023 3:57 am Cliche classic. So? I love it! One of my favourite genre romcom. I watched the preview and it made me smile and laugh. I watched EP 1 and EP2. Really good! Fighting!

Mao Jun 19 2023 12:08 am There has been so many dramas that are just so emotionally stressing and heart-wrenching these days because of its rise in popularity, so a drama like this feels like a life saver.

missrajut Jun 18 2023 10:13 pm lee junho,always totally good in acting,love him,support him,this drama will be a big hit?

Mila Jun 18 2023 8:55 pm I don't feel the chemistry. Male actor has strong aura but for the female actor honestly I couldn't see the acting expression and a bit lack of it. I keep watching for 1st episode and watched half way then on 2nd episode ..

Wow Jun 18 2023 7:37 pm The drama does help you smile and relieve you of usual stress. Also i forgot to add yoona's character is same as that film year end medley and her wake up call scene was a callback to her character there as this is what she used to do to hotel guests and saves someone from suicide.

Wowww Jun 18 2023 7:24 pm Watched 1st episode. Not at all a fan of yoona or jun ho specially not AT ALL of yoon, but this show is good. Saw a lot criticism on 1st episode and really don't understand why. I think editing could have been better but it was a very good episode and i ended up liking it so much more than see you in 19.

My problem here is excessive filters used on junho's face i mean he is looking unnaturally white. 3 female friends scenes is a very common trope seen in many dramas and also their convos are kind of boring and seen before so those parts are boring.

Other than that show is very good and this is why 2nd ep had higher ratings than 19th life. Both shows are good btw.

It doesn't entirely feel like rom com, seems like a chaebol struggle. More curious who is his mom where is she and why elder sis is so rude to him when she was so nice to cheon sa rang.

What i genuinely hated was gym sweat cleaning part because if this is how gyms and hotels clean then they are spreading germs. She uses a thin cloth rubs the seat then uses same rag to rub over entire machine, this is like spreading more germs.

I seriously don't understand the strong critiism though i don't have a problem with it to each their own, but much of it seems misleading. It doesn't look like an entirely easy and romcom show the inheritance battle will get messy,seems like show isn't that light hearted.

When parachute lands on hotel rooftop it kinda made no sense and felt annoying but later it turned out funny when he tells his coworker because that was joke on him being a parachuter who landed in the company due to his connections and then parachute scene made sense.

GIE Jun 18 2023 3:33 pm I don't know you guys but i like this drama. It's fun, it's cute, easy to watch and familiar story line. Plus, both lead stars are gorgeous. I love watching cute story with pretty people

Pkoshiro Jun 18 2023 1:52 pm Well, everybody has their own opinion. I actually enjoyed the first episode and the ending made me want to watch the next one.

I understand the plot is cliché, but most romcoms are to be honest. And that doesn't really bother me. Usually, when I want to watch a romcom, I am looking for something light, sweet and funny and I think King the Land will be just that.

And you all don't need to worry about it being a bad choice for their carreers or not. Yoona and Junho said they were looking for this kind of roles after their last ones being really sad and stressful. And they seemed to be pretty satisfied and happy with what they filmed.

Claire Jun 18 2023 12:33 pm Maybe its not the best one for their list. But I still found it comforting and refreshing. Its a rom com after all. Hoping for the better progress for the next episodes. I put my trust to Junho and Yoon-a...

LOL Jun 18 2023 11:11 am Male lead's acting is too cringy.

PNIM Jun 18 2023 10:43 am I think 1 n 2 eps is too boring for this actor n actress I hope the story will be better in next eps. If not i thinkni will stop watching this drama in eps 3

Ben Jun 18 2023 9:26 am I'm stupid because said all about it. This drama and actors are really work so hard to make this drama fresh, enjoyable even for the haters(like me).

Ben Jun 18 2023 8:03 am For EP1, the script was poorly directed, and the actors' performances were poor.

Aldrin Jun 18 2023 5:48 am TW: SCATHING OPINION :P

The end of the first episode perfectly summarizes this new offering from JTBC. The King of the Land was so poorly written that you would not think its male lead, Lee Jun-ho, played a king so well in his previous drama, The Red Sleeve, he won the Best Actor Award beating Squid Game's Lee Jun-jae and D.P.'s Jung Hae-in. The plot was so shallow that it might have just brought back the quality of Korean Dramas back to time when kings ruled Korea.

The only "King" in this drama were the visuals of the leads. Lee Jun-ho exudes masculinity and suave. Also, while watching Im Yoon-ah you could not help yourself but smile even without saying Hermés.

I know this is just the first episode that's why I am hoping that the next episodes would improve and not waste the talents of these two amazing actors.

Ji Eun Jun 17 2023 10:40 pm The leads look so fresh! So happy Junho has a new lead drama and it is romcom! He totally fits. I hope this will have a happy ending with no out-of-place time jump by the end or misunderstanding breakups.

Maize Jun 17 2023 4:48 pm If you love romcom, you will love King The Land so much. Its really funny & cute. the chemistry and visuals of Junho & Yoona are pretty amazing

nana Jun 17 2023 2:47 pm exactly, why is jun ho superbly fair/white in this drama. too flawless

K Jun 17 2023 1:43 pm Why jun ho is looking so super white in this show

Dinupu Jun 17 2023 1:09 pm Go won hee stewardess again.. hehe. I bet the secretary of lee jun ho aka his intern friend is bas guy..

Rhose Jun 17 2023 12:25 pm The 1st ep, is so fun, love it ❤️❤️

Ala Jun 17 2023 12:01 pm Too bad Go Won-Hee doesn't play the lead role. The series itself is pretty average. It's a pity that Junho didn't choose something more interesting

haha Jun 13 2023 10:43 pm @Liezl thank's for the info,, can't wait to watch this,, and to read the webtoon??

Peach Jun 12 2023 9:34 pm My 2nd gen babies ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ i wanna cryyyyyy. I remember they were only rookies back then and now the world know them as great actors. Love you guy a lot!

Liezl Jun 11 2023 4:58 pm @haha no, it’s not based on a webtoon. It’s the other way around. The webtoon recently released is supposedly a prequel of KTL.

haha Jun 10 2023 2:09 am It's based on webtoon right?? Webtoon with the same name.

Clory Jun 07 2023 1:42 am Yoona-ya I believe in you, that your every hard work, every effort will produce good results.. I hope you are always given health and I hope this drama gives you recognition that you deserve to be appreciated and proud.. I really love you Yoona

Seo-Seo Jun 06 2023 6:13 pm Junho fighting! You will carry the show! I’m not worried about the plot or the actress or director since I am sure you alone can save even a bad drama! We just need to see you on screen!

HEROSASUKE May 27 2023 5:27 pm I think that She is hiding her pain through her smile or/and he has a reason why he can't smile. I have a feeling that this drama beside being rom-com it will be Human Healing drama. Each summer there are 1 or 2 dramas like that and feels like only during summer. Last year Extraordinary attorney woo.

Luna May 26 2023 8:15 am Great chemistry. Can’t wait to see you Joon-Ho oppa! <3

Billa May 25 2023 11:20 am I always love Junho since Good Manager. His acting talent is on another level. really cant wait for this

Iman Feb 13 2023 10:51 am Too excited for this drama

Deep Feb 09 2023 8:53 am OMG! I can't wait to watch this

Kiki Feb 08 2023 3:30 pm I need something fun and on the lighter side. Want to stay away from depressing drama for awhile.

yoong3005 Jan 19 2023 8:57 am I wonder if this drama is acquired by MBC, cause if yes there is a chance they will MC gayo daejun 2023 again...or perform as a couple again! Hehe

Lyndie Slack Jan 08 2023 10:50 pm I keep re-watching the Red Sleeve. I loved both of the leads. I cried so much in the last episode of the Red Sleeve. The actors were amazing.

I have been watching for this Drama to come out. Please tell me the release date. I read somewhere it would be in January 2023. Is this correct?

Thank you so much.

Lyndie
