Students interacting at a carnival setting.

So after a really adorable start for me, I totally lost interest in jTBC Sat-Sun rom-com King the Land. And it’s not the dramas fault, from all accountants it stayed consistently just cute so I strayed because I had more interesting fare to watch instead with my limited time. The audiences stayed there but didn’t surge the way it could … Continue reading →
