S1 E13 / Kristi Rose and Amy Boyles join me to take a look at King the Land, a romcom that doesn’t get enough attention–at least that’s our opinion.

😠💕 We dive into the enemies to lovers trope that blossomed into a steadfast relationship, and we break down why we were absolutely rooting for Gu Won and Sa Rang, played by Lee Jun Ho and Im Yoon Ah.

🏢🎭 Beyond the romance, we unpack the drama’s deeper themes—ambition, authenticity versus pretense, and the tough realities of working in the service industry from the ground up. We also laugh a lot and recall our favorite scenes.

👑 So if you’re looking for a romcom that brings romance, humor, and found family, but has a noticeable *lack* of white trucks of doom, serial killers, and amnesia, King the Land might be just what you’re looking for.
