The Korean romantic drama series?King the Land? Recently became the most-seen non-English show by the audience on Netflix the previous week. According to the streaming service’s viewing graph, this was said, released on Wednesday, July 5. The drama stars 2 PM’s Junho and Girls Generation’s YoonA as the main leads. The two actors have significantly impacted the viewers with their charismatic performances in King the Land.
The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable, making the show so compelling. In addition, the drama’s depiction of how toxic and demanding the hospitality industry can be is also something the viewer cannot help but sympathize with. The supporting cast members are also memorable, each with unique personalities.
With all of this, it is no wonder why the audience has been glued to the drama and making it the most-watched Korean K-drama on Netflix. Unsurprisingly, the drama also topped Good Data Corporation’s weekly list of the most buzzworthy dramas and cast members.
On July 3, a Korean media outlet, The Proof, reported that YoonA and Junho are not just acting co-stars in the show but also dating in real life. The source revealed that the two developed feelings for each other even before filming the drama, which is why they teamed up together.
While the news sparked much speculation among fans, the agency has officially denied the rumors. But despite the denial, fans still support the two actors and their amazing chemistry on screen.
The plot of King the Land centers around Goo Won, heir to the luxury hotel conglomerate, The King Group, and Cheon Sa Rang, the head general manager of the hotel. The drama starts as your typical rom-com with your standard enemies-to-lovers trope. Goo Won is the type of chaebol heir who dislikes insincere people and always puts on a fake smile, while Cheon Sarang prides herself on her genuine personality.
However, over time, the two develop feelings for each other, and their attraction grows deeper. Throughout the drama, there are many instances where they show their affection for each other such as when Goo Won sends her a coffee truck. Artists typically make these gestures for their families, close friends, and those with a special place in their hearts. As a result, their relationship in the drama is portrayed as a beautiful and realistic one. Nevertheless, we will have to wait and see if the romance between the two can materialize in reality.
