Hang on it gets better
* Minor Spoilers
"King the Land" was highly anticipated after watching the trailer. Since I watch genres by mood, I was pretty much in the mood for an upbeat Rom Com.
Gu Won (Lee Jun Ho) is a handsome and successful manager for the King Group. On the surface, he seems to have everything in life with little trouble. Aside from a few company problems, there are also family and personal issues, past and present.
In and around the King Hotel, Cheon Rang (Im Yoon Ah) has fond memories as a child. She has the sweet girl next door looks and a heart to match. She is bright, smart, and has an endearing smile. The King Group is not an easy company to work for, especially if you are a low-level employee. Despite not having a formal education, Cheon Rang excels in crisis management, language skills, and interpersonal relations. Despite circumstances that work against her, she benefits from this.
My first impression of the lead characters was that they were likable. However, to me, the first 4 episodes seemed to be a series of color by number circumstances. This caused a slow feeling of dislike for the series. As time went on, I became more and more disinterested in the show, sometimes even skipping it temporarily for another series. That is until about episode 7.
As things started to pick up, things got better. While the acting was still solid, the relationships, characters, and situations were becoming more clear and relatable. Despite being wrong, I'm glad I didn't drop the series. It was well worth giving the show a chance. Thus far, this couple has been my second most-loved. (#1 belongs to the Crash Landing leads) Although the story was initially appeared painted, everything began to make sense to me once it took shape. Things no longer appeared forced. The ML couple became more adorable and so fun to watch.
Im Yoon and Lee Ho seem to be a perfect match for each other in context of the story.
For lack of a better cliche, I get impatient if the ML couple don't have "chemistry" or are constantly in each other's faces. The two of them in this case had me smiling. I wanted them to be together more.
"King the Land" was well shot from a cinematic perspective, however the set design wasn't all that spectacular for the big hotel. It was pretty and elegant, but nothing regal. The show really didn't portray the elegance much. (wasn't a deal breaker) Overall, I give "King the Land" a positive rating. As it wasn't flawless, it worked for me.
