I truly believe that King the Land got a very big budget, all thanks to the success of the Red Sleeve. Like, damn, helicopter scenes? Country scenes? π
While I thoroughly enjoyed the mom - children scenes and narrative of the drama, I just couldn't help myself but…
P.S. it was also refreshing how the King wasn't easily swayed by his Ministers and has good relationship, personally and politically, with the Queen. A real life partnership so to say. Seems very rare for sageuks.
While I thoroughly enjoyed the mom - children scenes and narrative of the drama, I just couldn't help myself but be disappointed about the core of this show--- the reason why it triggered all of this.
When it was revealed I was like, okay that's it? π
Nonetheless, this show is good. A peek at the lives of Joseon's royalty through the lenses of the Queen, which we haven't gotten yet, if I'm not mistaken.
1. That one helmet guy who tried to kill Kang Ho with a knife.2. The men that kidnapped Sam Sik. They were carrying…
South Korea has very strict gun regulations, only the police and those with security -related business are given permits to carry guns. That's why if you've checked other kdramas, there's usually no guns in sight to keep it realistic.
I feel the same way you do. Can you recommend any other movies that are similar or better that you have watched?…
The first thing that comes to mind is Encounter of Park Bo Gum and Song Hye Kyo (the younger actress in WMLB is also starring here). Other notable one would be the classic Endless Love- Autumn in my Heart. And not sure why but this show also reminds me of Tomorrow with You of Shin Min Ah, maybe because of the subdued tone.
Is it under a different name on Netflix like Rain or Shine? The mdl page says itβs on Netflix but doesnβt…
Wok of Love is different from Rain or Shine (also known as "Just Between Lovers". I'm pretty sure both dramas are in Netflix but maybe it's not available in your region.
I have this feeling after all the drama he might go back to the show(2d1n)
surely, they want him back too. They're off to Jeju Island now to shoot the 100th episode tomorrow- 29th. I just hope he'd be there to surprise his members and celebrate that special event with him, as he should. but then again, considering the overall atmosphere and perhaps, Seonho's mental well-being, he truly needs to rest a bit more. It was a hellish week (MONTHS) for him because of that ex girlfriend.
