19th life is only 12 eps and they have quite a lot to cover (two lifetimes to be exact). But honestly I wonder what’s gonna happen in king the land’s 16 episodes because so far there’s no plot yet. Looks like the focus is gonna be the rom com and the lead’s relationship. Hopefully they don’t fill it up with annoying office politics and chaebol power struggles we’ve seen 1000 times over.

Actually I feel like both dramas might have the similar back stories for the MLs? Iirc isn’t the ML in 19th life also working at a hotel or smth hahah… not sure tho

I almost finished the webtoon. The FL lead lightens the mood but the ML remains quite melancholic throughout because he has a lot of baggage. I enjoyed the webtoon but I think it was quite heavy and sad

Yeah quite light, there’s no plot yet in the first ep. I’m here for the leads tbh but I think the first ep was a pretty good watch

Seems like it’s gonna be a light hearted rom com! Although the ML does seem like he has quite a bit of emotional baggage. I hope it remains fun and light throughout with no melodramatic twist in the second half.

It is a bit cliche but we’ve not had that many true romcoms in a while so I’m into it

I foresee see you in my 19th life being quite sad to watch hahaha the leads have a lot of emotional baggage. I’m hoping king the land remains light with no melodramatic twist in the middle. But it seems like the ML has quite a bit of baggage here too

Oh it’s still airing. I thought it was alr done haha

When is it gg on Netflix? It’s not on my Netflix yet

Yay hopefully it airs earlier than later

How do you know?

Hahaha nahh it was part of in flight entertainment and I only watched the first few eps, but it’s still enough to bring back memories!

plots just ok but i really did cry so much it gave me a headache

its because its about a very painful history. things like this are still happening in some countries too so i would assume many find it relatable or touching. honestly i think the plot was just ok too

exactly!!! i thought after the explosive popularity of this drama they would make more serious historicals like these, considering this is also the most successful historical drama in the past few years. kinda sad that there are no recent historical dramas with this tone

watched this on my flight recently... brought back the memories :')

The first few eps were really good but I’m now at ep 8 and it’s earth shatteringly boring

Yeonjin needs more beating.

I liked the revenge but I didn’t like the romance. Felt like it broke the flow and made the story slow so I even skipped some romance scenes. I wish they showed Yeo jung getting his revenge

Honestly that reason is worst than her just liking sleeping w men for fun

Agree, the Netflix translations are so bad. I don’t mind when translators paraphrase but sometimes it felt like they were changing the meaning and dialogue too liberally
