It’s time for the K-stars to descend on the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and the first two are Han So Hee and Yoona. They walked the red carpet on the same day this Sunday and absolutely brought the classic K-dressing looks. Han So Hee was in a white dress and Yoona in a pink dress, colors that are favored among … Continue reading →
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 →
Last year in 2022 was the first ever Blue Dragon Series Awards as the awards body until then was exclusively a movie awards ceremony. So this year in 2023 its only the 2nd annual Blue Dragon Series Awards and last nights in person ceremony was full of big name stars but devoid of any meaningful and well dressed fashion per … Continue reading →
Man, these two were totally playing coy with the early promos for King the Land. I remember finding leads Junho and Yoona, whom I adore as actors and stars, looking more like platonic BFFs than potential romantic partners based on chemistry. It got better after the drama aired but seeing these new promo stills from Netflix, which is streaming the … Continue reading →
When young people tend to take things for granted but living through changing tides allows appreciation in the moment. Rom-coms used to be a dime-a-dozen in K-drama land and honestly most were meh and only some exceptional but even the meh ones were worth watching as time wasters. Then the great rom-com demise of the 2010s happened where a decade … Continue reading →
Well this was a good hour’s worth of entertainment between the release of the first report and the follow up from their agency. A news report claimed that top idol-actors Junho and Yoona are dating in real life, and on top of that they accepted jTBC romance drama King the Land so they could act together because they are dating. … Continue reading →
A warm, comforting and familiar meal absolutely deserves to be enjoyed and praised when done right, not everything needs to be cutting edge and innovative. jTBC rom-com King the Land has risen to the top in the second week of airing, nearly doubling the ratings of tvN‘s See You in My 19th Life and also getting close to breaking 10% … Continue reading →
The weekend time slot now has not one but two successful romance K-dramas to occupy viewers time and both are deserving of the first weekend out of the gate win. jTBC old school chaebol romance King the Land increased in its second episode to 7.544% ratings even bigger than tvN fantasy romance See You in My 19th Life which increased … Continue reading →
This Sat is the head to head premiere of two romance K-dramas both on my watch list. tvN has Meet You in My 19th Life going fantasy while jTBC brings back old school classic chaebol and cinderella romance with King the Land. The leads of King the Land are in the upcoming Allure Korea July edition doing their darndest to … Continue reading →
Call me old or old-fashioned but sometimes the best stuff is the stuff that’s tried and true. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a good classic Hallyu rom-com, the kind of love-hate with opposites attract and plenty of implausible coincidences. Upcoming K-drama King the Land is primed to hit that sweet spot and it seems to be leaning into that … Continue reading →
The upcoming jTBC romance King the Land probably spent most of its budget on hiring two top idol-actor leads in Yoona and Junho because it’s sorely lacking in the art department lol. But that may not matter when the end result arrives and they show the money was well spent on two charming leads that can turn the overdone prince … Continue reading →
I don’t know who greenlit this drama but it’s either going to be the throwback romance longtime K-drama lovers didn’t realize we needed or a pointless retread of tropes that don’t work anymore. I’m hoping for the former when jTBC premieres King the Land in mid-June but even with optimism the first poster and new trailer just looks so cheesy … Continue reading →
I’m super excited for this K-drama and ready for all the old school feels with two leads I like. Junho and Yoona will be back on the small screen in June for the jTBC Fri-Sat romance King the Land, which I hope gets a better English title lol. He’s the successful chaebol heir to a hotel empire and she’s the … Continue reading →
