2023 Drama Roundup
4 – The drama you loved and Beanies hated
King. The. Land. This show got so much shade for “not having a plot” and “being too focused on Junho” but to that I say: Psh. As far as I’m concerned, this romcom had everything we asked for: beautiful leads, great chemistry, fun enemies-to-lovers hijinks, 0 serial killers in sight, a wonderfully hateable older half sister to fight with, fun side characters, very little whif of love triangle, a physically affectionate OTP, and Lee Junho. We got to watch Won become the chaebol boss I would most want to work for, and Sarang figure out what she wanted her dreams to look like and then go for them. Plus, just as a bonus, we got one of the best halmonis in all of dramaland who was just as sweet as she was withering. It was just fun, and never took itself too seriously. Not to repeat myself too much, but this was the last line from my review and I stand by it, “I laughed, I swooned, I giggled, I squeed, I appreciated Won’s 100% commitment to wearing white pants while on vacation.”
I love your review. All very valid points. Even though you need only one word – Junho. The drama indeed got a lot of shade, it had become a tumbleweed by the end. 🤷♀️ To that there is perhaps only one response.
Yes! I knew you loved it too, so I was hoping you would see this!
Beanies say they don’t want serial killers in their romcoms, but when they actually get what they want, they are bored! I don’t get it. I had so much fun.
With King the Land the criticisms started from the very beginning with the teaser, the poster, everything. It felt like people were determined to be skeptical unless proven otherwise.
I had so much fun too 🥰
