All chaebols have blankets in the rear seat of their car, but they don’t have a rope in their helicopter. I think they need to fix this. Also, it’s hard to root for a ML who jumps in his tight pants to a ledge that’s on a cliff.
It would have been nice to see him come up with a good reason/strategy to chairman/sister and tricked them into believing that saving the employee was in the best interest of the company.

Ep 5 got better and I enjoyed the dinner scene. His excitement about the heart egg was hilarious. Their interactions also seemed more natural.
Ep 6 was a hard watch. I did not laugh. But that ending made sense. It's hard to not be swayed with all the attention and Jun Ho's new found smiley face, but when reality hit her, it hits hard.

Having said that, I do think the workplace scenes add some weight to their interactions. I preferred their meet up when she was down. I much prefer their daily interactions as opposed to the forced ‘randomly put leads together’. The village scene went on for too long. Their market outing felt endless. The onion peeling was too long. Did they forget to use the Edit tool? This show doesn’t need an hour and 16 min!!

For more than two hours I sat in front of the TV almost constantly grinning and giggling. I had to laugh out loud at the car scene when Won, despite all his attempts, failed miserably to get Sa-rang to sit next to him. Poor grumpy Won.

Love it that the series is getting more and more delightfully absurd and doesn't take itself seriously at all. Won's suits must have been tailored for a superhero in real life. Not only does he survive the metre-deep jump unscathed, the suits always look freshly pressed.

By the way, what was that about the carp? Was it a dried fish or a plastic replica? What do you do with it? Eat it or just hang it up?

Honestly, I laughed more than in any other ep when the Cliff of Doom became a Lover's Leap.
I guess I've come to terms with all the tropes and will just let them flow like warm Cheesewhiz. Meanwhile, I await the appearance of the "National Mom" as the world's worst air passenger.

This isn't the most tightly written rom-com I've ever watched, but it definitely has some funny scenes and lines, mostly given to Junho. "That wasn't a shriek, it was a battle cry." That and the peeling onions, when he ended up with the small core of the onion, having stripped off most of the layers, were my two favorites.

But I also liked the pyramid scheme multi-level marketers trying to sell to the stewardess who was trying to sell to them--that was the sharpest comment on the demands placed on service workers. (I find this theme is the least effective when highlighting the hostility of the managers to their employees, like the woman who drank all the coffee of the employees after saying that she didn't want any--but I assume Junho is going to learn how to put in place a different regime.)

One minor thing--it would be a nice and kind of funny twist if the wayward husband was not in fact having an affair but instead just addicted to golf--because of all possible husbandly sins, that would be the one most easily cured.

As far as the most important part, the relationship--they have such an easy familiarity now that its going to be hard to accept the forced breakup that is sure to come. This is definitely a show that should have had 12 episodes rather than 16, because that just means the viewers will have to endure a longer separation than necessary!

I forgot they were going for tofu too tbh.

(@eazal the Jirisan spinoff we didn't know we needed 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe if JJH¹ and JJH² had had Sarang by their side, since she's apparently #SentientMountainApproved, not as many people would've died. Pfffft.
Can't say for sure the same about the Lemons and Bees though.)

I watched episodes 3-6 all at one go and my opinion of this show has improved substantially. There's a lot more chemistry and some genuine humour. I really liked the restaurant scenes and the scene at the market. You can see them falling for each other and it's pretty darn cute. Also 'Wa' is such a classic - loved that for the ending!

Only dissonant note is the sister. They repeat the same lines over and over in every scene Won and Hwa-ran have together. An infinite loop of "don't act up", "don't be scared", "don't worry I don't want the business"...

This week KTL slid a little backward on the enjoyment scale. The opening of the swoon scene was ruined when Gu Won said to Sa-Rang “I will allow it” when she was crying. That line is detonating a land mine in The Moment. Then she left Gu Won only to have him track her down and order her into the car. Seniority aside, in a non-work situation, this was wrong. Then asking about her love line also crossed the line. Having a childhood anxiety issue with fake smiling employees does not give him the right to pry into their personal lives. And Sa-Rang should be annoyed by her boss not knowing civil boundaries. She can try to teach him but he clearly does not listen to her. At that moment, the show turned sour. But it piled on. Then it got weird with the couple outfit (do all rich clueless men have blankets and new women’s clothes in the back seat of their cars for no apparent reason?) It is ironic that Gu Won is lecturing her ex on stalking when that evening he was basically doing a similar thing: not accepting her rejections, boundaries and requests.

The over-dramatic “how could no bones be broken” rescue leap was the most absurd leap of faith in the series. Episode 5 did not grant Gu Won any redeeming qualities. Instead he bursts his personality shell as a naive, obsessed, lack of common sense, narrow minded man-child. Carpe diem.

Episode 6 adds the element of Gu Won’s arranged marriage which should have given Sa-Rang an element of relief or suspicion about Gu Won’s motives instead of blind jealousy. She needs to push him away and re-set.

I think the overblown Knight in Shining Armor arc took the wind out of the story sails. This week the story was too trite and the humor dull. We have seen it time and time before. I think the chemistry is a roller coaster: either hitting high mark or falling flat. Next week, I hope her girlfriends interrogate Gu Won to give Sa-Rang some objective, protective feed back about him.

This drama is really growing in my esteem, especially as the swoony and romantic moments are increasing. Plus I'm growing to like the male lead more. As the other romance drama I'm watching over the weekend is growing heavier and more angsty, I especially am appreciating this one's more lighthearted feel (except for that cliff fall scene, which legit freaked me out) and focus on the romance, especially those silly cliches that I just love so much.

Episode 5 was the best yet, with the cute dates and the dual dismissal of Crappy Ex-Boyfriend. Yoona is doing a pretty good job here, and it looked like the show was hitting its stride. (OK, we’re supposed to believe he spent 5 days let alone 5 years at a university in the UK without learning about draft beer and rowdy dining, but whatever.) And then came episode 6, sigh. The only narrative/character progress was: Won defying Unpleasant Noona, Won meeting Grandma, and Sa-rang discovering she’s jealous. That all needed about 10 minutes. That left plenty of time for more action and side stories, but instead we got pure filler - although some of it was Junho’s intense gazes and Junho being a scaredy-cat, so I forgive those few minutes. No matter how charming he and Yoona are, it all felt like it was playing at x0.5 speed. We already saw that he’s head-over-heels for Sa-rang, that he values people over money (super easy when you have that much money), and that he lacks “common” experiences, so there was no news there. The other storylines were wheel-spinning: customers are terrible, female bosses are terrible 🙄, sales work is terrible, husbands are terrible. The workplace focus is welcome, but not if it’s all victimhood all the time.

It’s only episode 6 and we’ve already called in the helicopter. What’s left? The submarine? The private spacecraft?

I'm not sure about the ton of the drama. Either it's a rom-com and even if it's pretty cringe, actors/PD need to take it seriously, either it's a parody and they can laugh about it. The parachute and the helicopter are more on the parody side. Nothing made sense about him just jumping in suit without any plan... She was perfectly fine.

If it's nice to see them getting closer, the ML who needs to be taught everything is not my favourite plot. At least, he could be useful in one field, but even in his job, he doesn't care... He spends his whole energy in his relationship with the FL.

I’m not in dramaland for things to make absolute sense, but if they don’t make sense I need a reason to stay, and here the only reason I have to watch is Junho. But even so, I have some issues with GuWon, who is a nice guy and is falling deep for Sarang, but he is also a jerk. For instance, he interrupts evil noona meeting while the weather is awful (note: we can see big blue sky in Seoul) to ask permission for a helicopter like a brat who wants things done his way, which includes jumping into a void with no plan... as romantic as useless. Also, he judges the people in the board for just thinking about making money. I wonder if he knows where his money come from.

GuWon is really nice and supportive when he stands by Sarang’s side while her ex is being a jerk, only to be a jerk himself when he doesn’t accept Sarang’s negative to have a meal with him again because it makes her feel uncomfortable. I don’t care that they are walking by each other and being nice and having a good conversation. She said at least three times “No” and she was ignored.

All about GuWon talks about his privilege. As much as I understand he is a good guy, his acts don’t reflect that he is concerned about his employees or the company. His actions come from privilege, the privilege of not needing to earn a life, because he just has enough money to pay the consequences of his acts. Yes, I know he is good hearted, but he only thinks about himself, he never thinks on the consequences of his acts because he doesn’t need to think. He will get things solved with a call or with a check. Sarang and Secretary No have tried to show him that things are different for others, but he just doesn’t try to put himself on anyone else’s shoes. He isn’t even scolded by dad when he wastes the company resources on the stupid helicopter thing. GuWon hasn’t proved once that he actually listens to others.

And right now I still don’t know why GuWon is attracted to Sarang. I obviously get Pemberley vibes from Sarang. I mean, she’s falling for Won the same way Lizzie fell for Mr. Darcy the minute she saw Pemberley.

I don't know what part of this drama that is comedy since I was barely laughing. Or which part of Guwon's approach to Sarang that is swoony, I found it cringeworthy. And how he talks down her job to something small and unimportant got me smirked. If it happens to me I dismissed him in 3 times, 1st time I'll just roll my eyes, 2nd time I'll just smile and tolerate, 3rd time good bye and get lost. IRL it just shows how little he respects her as a person no matter how grand his romantic gesture is. For me IRL, I'll take it as a hint and warning how the man's view over women working. I don't do my job for fun, I take it seriously, spend so much times to honing my skill. A job is a job, but it is a part of me, try to dismissed it to something small and unimportant is the same as to offend me.

I am glad this drama is addressing systemic abusive work-place practices. It would be great to make it even more obvious that it flows from top down and is not because of a few rotten apples. I can appreciate why it might have resonated strongly with the viewing public many of whom might be working women of all ages. Sucks not to ge a trust fund baby on our planet.
I am also glad that Junho is not a vile screaming chaebol but we should still eat the rich. I know many Beanies and other enjoy watching him in his fine duds groomed to the nth degree but what he is selling is an unrealistic fantasy. I know many of us see through that but patriarchy has primed many women to think they should be rescued by such an atypical traumatised rich little man baby. I am glad Sarang gives as good as she gets but at the end unless he becomes an anarchist and open King the Land to poor Koreans, I’m not buying any if this fiction.
ps - Junho’s voice is the most amazing instrument. What an unfair blessing that dude has. Who needs his ASMR attempt. He should just read the phone book in his lowest register.

junho & yoona acted SO well there are real life dating rumours flying around about them i cant

Aside from that, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That encapsulates my feelings for these recent eps. My god did I love them so much even tho there were some questionable scenes (real curious about Won's thought process before jumping off the cliff, landing unharmed(???) and being stuck there with her like they were basically back to square 1)

I also loved the last few mins of ep6, it showed Sa-rang realizing & coming to terms with her feelings. EEEEEK I cant wait for next weekend!

I hate to say it, but these two episodes were kind of boring. Also Gu Won is annoying, no amount of swoony stares and smiles, make up for how incredibly annoying he is. Sir, think for a moment and ask questions. I did laugh a couple of times, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to laugh in those moments. I feel bad for Sa Rang, she is super professional but keeps getting caught up. It is already uncomfortable with the boss/employee dynamics, maybe because everything has moved so quickly in this drama I keep forgetting it is only episode 6, but I hope they work on that because it is very awkward for her. Most dramas overcome it or gloss over it in such a way that I can ignore it, but this drama is not doing so, lol. 10 more episodes to go.

I'm so blind by the pretty, @dramaddictally your screen capture game is🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻.

Yoona sells the vibe of regular civilians very well, her makeup is minimal, her hair plain, her clothes don't look fancy (probably some are Miu Miu and still very expensive), and her heels sensible. Which plain girl doesn't want to be the center of Junho's, sorry, Won's attention? I just nod my head throughout the episodes, jusli like Sa-rang does when Won is spouting excuses.

It's easier to let the absurdity slide when you watch the behind the scenes where Junho and Yoona just look like good old friends having the fun of their life working together.

Y’all, I’m having a blast. I read through some Beanie comments on these episodes are you wrong in your critiques? Absolutely not. Do I mind anything that could be considered “meh” about this show? No I do not. I’m a pretty generous drama-watcher anyway, but I honestly had basically no complaints this week. We have just enough conflict to make sure that it’s not completely smooth-sailing for our head-over-heels couple, and I’m excited to see what will happen next. Hopefully the ridiculousness will only mount. I think my ideal situation at this point would be Won not really having any aspirations to the business on his own, but developing those aspirations as a way of protecting and collaborating with Sa-rang and other employees like her. Won’s sister is still not really interesting, but his father did become interesting to me this week, so I’m still plenty interested in his family dynamics. Also, like @dramaddictally, I was squeeing and smiling like a fool for so much of these episodes that even if Won’s fam dynamics weren’t interesting, I think I’d be happy just to ignore them and focus on all the rest. Love this show. We deserve this.

As I read the comments from the last several episodes, I felt a bid sad. Because. . . so many viewers/beannies seemed to be "ashamed" because they were enjoying this show. Frequent mention of "cheese", "tropes", "cliche", etc. etc.

I'm LOUD and PROUD that I am thoroughly enjoying this drama and there is ZERO that I am ashamed of. It's a rom-com. Lots of romance. Lots of comedy. Excellent acting, script, cinematography, mystery, well-drawn characters. No need to pursue further.

Not one iota of "shame" from this viewer.

I keep watching the show because I need a light watch to get me through this time but honestly the episodes are way too unnecessarily long especially episode 6. I think it was over 80 minutes. The coreof the drama is the case. Imagine the same plot with some less famous actors and it won't be even a quarter as watchable.

Thank you for great recap @Dramaddictally, I really enjoy your take, especially because it is for what King The Land exactly is: a true rom-com.

These 2 episodes are a blast for me, just my kind of joke and comedy, with the right amount of dumbness from our main characters (Won performing a love dive without safety equipment, you can't be more stupid than this but BOY, WAS THAT HILLARIOUS!! I love extra loud).
Some special mention of comedic scenes:
1. The rice puff scene at the market where Won and Sarang were in their own world, unaware with people staring at them weirdly
2. Banters between Won and Sangsik, how come they don't wear couple tee for Sangsik's birthday!!!

Now I understand that this kind of jokes might not be for everyone (proven by the many complains from Beanies here), and that's okay. But I also feel like people are expecting something KTL is not. People demand some instrinsic plot and say that 16-minute market scene was so unnecessary for progression, BUT hey... where is the fun in that?? I live for all the swoonworthy moments in that exact market scene that I rewatched it 3 times (because blessed the casting Gods, Junho and Yoona as Won and Sarang are just perfect).
So if anyone say it's pointless, then they are missing the point (and it's okay).

On a more serious note, I love all the slice-of-life commentaries they infuse along the way. I need not to say more about the women and service-oriented workplace ironies they brought to the table becos many have highlight it. But the part where Sarang said that the people who have to queue for so long usually work for those who don't need to queue, and that it's the bitter truth, that was especially memorable for me. And maybe becos from the start they presented Won as someone with a deep sense of just and strong moral compass, it is easy for me to see how Won can emphatize to it and quickly finds Sarang as someone who can give him a new perspective and comfort. I believe this will serve as a propeller for the bigger plot movement, which is Won fighting for the inheritance, so he can provide protection for the people that other higher-ups think as insignificant. Can't wait for that moment.

Hence here I am, loud and proud that I enjoy this drama SO MUCH at least up until Ep 6. Also glad that it gains the love it deserves from general public in Korea. This can very well be my GOAT rom-com K-Drama as well.

Love love love this drama so far. It’s full of tropes but that’s what makes it so fun to watch. I love our fl and she can hold her own, with out being aggressive in a mean way. I found the scene with his dad eating the soup kinda touching, telling him he did the right thing saving sa rang. I think there is a deeper mystery surrounding his Mother and possibly the father failed to protect that one person.

I loved it ALL! I squealed, I giggled and I swooned. I don't watch rom-coms for realism, I want to escape, I want the fantasy, I want the dreamy smiles and lingering stares. And the KTL episodes this weekend gave me it in spades.

Before I get to Won and Sa-rang, let me address my second favourite duo, Sang Sik and Won. I laughed so hard at the two of them especially when Sang Sik discovers the photo. What are friends for if they don't tease you mercilessly about your crush?

Also, Sa-rang and Won are so cute. And while I enjoyed seeing Won's (sometimes embarrassingly adorable) POV falling in love in previous episodes, I am so glad we can see attraction blossoming in Sa-rang now too.

I agree that the off-screen comfort and friendship between the two leads translates into delightful onscreen chemistry. There were moments you could tell YoonA and Junho were having so much fun they barely stayed in character and I was having fun right along with them.

Each of their 'dates' was sweet especially in the marketplace. And when Won discerned Sa-rang was upset after seeing him interact with the heiress and arrived at her house to explain with that gorgeous smile, I was like "girl, forget that chicken, he's the WHOLE snack!"

Can't wait for next weekend...

Can't help but smile at the silliness in these two light, fluffy, and sugary episodes. It makes me wonder what sort of torment awaits our leads in the weeks ahead.

I also keep waiting for Won to finally start paying attention to the business because Sa-rang clearly cares about her job and may even love the hotel more than Won does. Our guy needs to grow up or it's going to be such a lopsided (and therefore unhealthy) relationship with Sa-rang perpetually being the 'grown-up'.

There’s pretty much nothing I don’t still love about Kingly Demeanor, but I took notes this time through because @dramaddictally told me to, and so I offer you these short, but sweet, bullet points 🎊 😁

—>The way Won walked out of the restaurant like a boss having “paid,” but then had to go back to sign and get his stupid card back.

—>Adorable shouting on Sa-rang’s part: “It’s not us…Oh, it IS us!!!” and 👏 GINSENG CLAP.👏

—>I know others are frustrated that Secretary No just hints at things and doesn’t make them happen, but I’m happy to have him me by “peanut gallery” any day. And his no-toilet-paper gag was one of the first of these potty humor jokes that really, truly, and authentically had me laughing.

—>Junho eating. Junho eating. Junho eating. Moar plz.

—>Also, I’m going on the record that the “guess the random number” gambling game is far superior that the omnipresent trope of the claw machine, because at the end of the former, Junho bounces a candy carp in his arms like an f’in BABY, and it looks tooootttaly natural.

I think @DancingEmma is correct in her analysis of the underlying costs of the fantasy we're being sold here. At the same time, I find this drama so watchable and frankly, so easy to digest as light fare, that it's hard for me to think deeply about it at all (which I understand can be problematic in and of itself). That said, it's hard not to be dazzled by all the pretty on display here--not just the physical appeal of both leads separately and together, or the trappings of wealth, or the displays of an ML who will do anything (other than simply state his feelings, of course) for the woman he loves, but also the central idea that the world in which he exists is our world, just with a quick buff and shine.

At the same time, one of the main strengths of this drama is its critique of sexism and classism in the service industry (and all industry, really). As @hacja said, this is not the most tightly written romcom I've ever seen, but the writing does have moments of self-awareness and depth that make everything go down easier, and feel less cheap.

On a completely superficial note, Junho and Yoona continue to exhibit very sparky chemistry, and if they are in an off-camera relationship as well, that's certainly not going to hurt the already tremendously high ratings and watchability factor of this show.

This drama is so unserious . I knew it with the helicopter scene in the first episode and the Bruce Wayne England shots but the trope leaden ep 5 really sealed the deal and you know what? I am not even mad . I am actually here for it . I hated the model shots in ep3 of Jun Ho in his suits and I screamed CRINGE but I am appreciating the vibe they are inserting with this. Its actually intentional and I have no problems.

I am so here for the ride that is King The Land.

To all beanies who have Instagram and follow the Dramabeans official account, please check out the latest reel ‘adopt a chaebol or CEO today’ it is laugh out loud funny.

🫘Beansprout🌱 awards are being given out by a few of us beanies who want to recognise elements that touch us and I have to say the Dramabeans Instagram account has been killing it recently. So I am awarding a GOAT 🫘Beansprout🌱 for today’s reel and a general recognition to all the staff working tirelessly to put content out there on a regular basis that really is great promotion for the K drama industry and the DB site. Well done and keep up the good work.

I liked episode 5 a lot but episode 6 far less. As things are evolving, or rather not evolving, I don't see how this show is going to hold up for 16 episodes. The direction is bad, the writing is sloppy and there are moments of pure cringe. I'm not sure I'll finish this, and if I do it will solely be for Junho. He's committed to the cute man child act and he is adorable.

But why are all male characters in this show weak, petulant and unserious about their chosen profession? I must exempt the steward, he holds up a sense of professionality and integrity.

I miss the brains the Won was applauded for in the first episode. I expected some deviousness and business sense from him but the interactions between Won and his sister are repetitive and unproductive. The chairman is stereotypical and wooden. Apart from the sassy assistant (more obnoxious and unprofessional, really) there is little to liven up the scenes. I sure hope Grandma is a frequently recurring character, Kim Young-ok is such a scene stealer.

I couldn’t focus on the plot in Episode 6 because of Junho— boy’s got game. It takes a good actor to play the fool and then about-face and flirt his way into the viewers’ hearts. I mean, he wasn’t already there but still. :)

I am absolutely loving this so far. It's such a fun watch for me. 80 minutes doesn't seem long to me when I get to see Junho in his 3 piece suits!

I'm not overthinking it and enjoying the ride of King the Land.

It is good k-drama.

Love the interaction of Sa-rang + Won. I can appreciate Won's jump to get to Sa-rang no matter the consequences. Loved it when Sa-rang questions Won about the plan to get them off the mountain and Won stating matter of factly - I haven't thought it through; I needed to get to you.

Highlights for me...
-Won's leap of love for Sa-rang
-Sa-rang impressing the farmer. I wonder if farmer will make a future appearance at King the Land?
-Birthday dinner and matching athletic gear
-Sa-rang and her two girlfriends get together. I'm interested in all these ladies story lines. I'm routing for them. Fighting!
-Sa-rang + Won's visit to marketplace
-Sa-rang's Grandma. Who doesn't love Grandma? LOL when Grandma comments - who is he the chairman's son? Yeah right.
-Sa-rang+Won's playfulness winning the pumpkin taffy and king carp
-Finally, the genuine smile

Good episodes for a good series - King the Land!

why can´t this drama just be about the boss and the secretary. whenever it is just those two im in stitches. the rest of it? there is no plot! there is no story! It is all filler.

I’ve been trying to watch this all week, but somehow just couldn’t. From this recap it looks like it is mostly romantic stuff so I am glad I didn’t. I guess my brain is telling me to drop this for now. If anything interesting happens, I can always come back

Yet another demonstration of the fact that it is enough to give up revenge, betrayal, immorality, misandry and nihilism to have a show that is pleasant and appreciated by the people.

Contrary to (it seems) almost everyone else, I didn’t love episodes 5/6. Personally, I felt that Won taking Sa-rang home, putting the blanket over her, and reclining her seat was sweet, but it seemed a bit much to buy her clothes, take to a fancy birthday dinner, and buy her a cake too (all of which she kind of had no choice but to accept). If it was just one of these then that would have been a nice gesture, but all three together seemed a bit atypical especially given they still realistically don’t know each other that well.

It’d be different if she was super accepting, but it seems she's only agreeing to spend time with him to thank him for whatever he's done for her. She even says later on that eating with him makes her uncomfortable, and yet he just continues on talking about having pasta, steak, etc with her. (I did like how Won didn’t overstep when Sa-rang was dealing with her ex, though.)

I think an underlying problem here is the dynamic – I understand the show is centred on a typical boss/employee trope but given how powerful his position is, she doesn’t really have the option to reject his gestures. That said, knowing Sa-rang, she would likely give a firm no if she didn’t want to spend time with him, but I guess I was hoping for something more affirmative than just her half-smiling and nodding in response to Won effectively deciding what their relationship would be (i.e. definitively saying their next dinner will be a date before she has clearly indicated that she likes him back). I just have very mixed feelings – on the one hand, I understand why Sa-rang acts the way she does, but on the other, I wish she was more enthusiastic so it didn’t seem like she was just accepting to be polite to her boss.

I did like the last scenes where Sa-rang was jealous, as it confirmed that she does like Won – though to this point, I still feel like I know more about why he likes her but not why she likes him. The only things I can point to is his morality and the gestures he’s done for her, but I think it’s concerning if she likes him mainly because he’s nice to her.

I am still enjoying this show, but am rather disappointed by these last two episodes and did not feel nearly as much squee as other people seem to have. The preview for episode 7 does look promising, so I'm looking forward to Sa-rang becoming more open/vocal about how she feels...

First thing first - the drama has kept me in.

What's made a landing: Junho. This show is all about him strutting in a suits and he is nailing it. And now it's becoming about him strutting in suits while convincing us he is in love. And he is doing a good job - almost.

Glitz and glamor: It's nailing the OTT part. It's a good time pass to see the ostentatious settings peppered by good looking well dressed people.

The workplace titbits - it's getting interesting, and those parts are handled fairly well.

What has not landed: The comic timing of all actors. I am amazed at how poorly written and acted this comedy is. There are a couple of scenes that are genuinely funny, but they are situational. It's probably the first series where I have not laughed at anything an actor has said or done. The show is missing collective comic timing!

The FL: The more I see, the more I get frustrated at how flat she is. They have a natural chemistry but the problem is - it does not feel romantic. At the end of every scene, it looks like they are going to high five each other. There is no fluttering of heart when he is catching her mid air to the floor. Junho looks more in love when he is by himself than when he next to her. Not once did I feel - hey guys please kiss. Sigh!

Poorly written male lead: The storyboard for Junho probably looks like him posing in different suits looking like million bucks. Beyond that he literally has nothing to offer. I can't find anything that makes him interesting in any way. Not only he comes across as borderline dumb (riding a helicopter only to jump off the ledge in a suit?), he also seems to be doing nothing but following a female like a puppy who has taken his fancy. Even his sister has a better written arc than him. I am sure they will suddenly make him into this corporate whiz kid who wins over everything with his brilliance, but so far, he is all brawn and no brain. His high octave romance potential is in serious trouble.

I don't think I will drop it though, it's really good looking drama and although few and far between, it has its moments.

LOVING this show! Bring it on, JunHo & Yoon-Ah. Wanting more of that Rom-Com Fluff and show is delivering!

This show feels fresh yet familiar. The characters are entertaining, the tropes are well-done and the plot is moving along. Hoping we can avoid angst, triangles and noble idiocy.
