Jan Lee The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 14, 2025
4/5
The show has no interest in reinventing the wheel. Instead, it not only sticks to, but also fully embraces the humour in the well-trodden path as the main love story unfolds. Go to Full Review Pierce Conran South China Morning Post May 14, 2024
Although anything could happen with the next 14 episodes, it is hard to imagine this flaccid and shallow fantasy improving as it goes forward. Go to Full Review Paroma Chakravarty Film Companion Jan 13, 2024
This drama created so much buzz for all the wrong reasons when it first started airing, yet it ended up one of my favourite romances of the year. Go to Full Review S. Poorvaja The Hindu Sep 27, 2023
While the romance is quick to take off, there’s not enough time spent fleshing out the show’s many sub-plots. Go to Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim (Substack) Sep 19, 2023
3/4
You’ve seen the cold chaebol/hardworking female combo before in many popular K-dramas (including “Business Proposal”). But Im Yoon-ah and Lee Jun-ho are so charismatic and easy to watch in “King the Land” that they add a fresh touch to an old concept. Go to Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? Aug 9, 2023
8/10
Laced with prime-time comedic moments and gloriously schmoozy lovey moments, this latest Netflix Kdrama will warm the cockles of your heart. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Cecil J @RT53350925 Aug 14, 2026 I saw the original with English subtitles and enjoyed it very much and decided to watch the dubbed version basically just being lazy and there were at least a hundred lines of dialogue missing from the dub. I've watched hundreds of dubbed shows and movies for years as well as subtitled and I've never experienced missing dialogue never mind entire characters simply not speaking. I mean if this was some low rank anime or some old indie film but seriously NETFLIX what the hell?!?!?!

See more Jisoo T @RT66712406 Sep 23, 2025 The drama was good until they both fall in love some scences did not had any logic after they fall in love the drama became boring See more Olga N @RT03750858 Sep 10, 2025 King the Land is a very sweet and enjoyable drama. The story is quite typical, but the plot is still interesting and keeps you watching. The actors are really cute and funny, and their chemistry makes the scenes even more entertaining. They bring a lot of charm and energy to the series. The atmosphere of the drama is light, pleasant, and very comfortable to watch. Everything feels natural, and it’s easy to relax and enjoy the story without stress. The combination of humor, romance, and small surprises makes the drama fun from start to finish. Overall, I really liked King the Land. It’s a warm and enjoyable series with lovable characters, a charming story, and a cozy atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a lighthearted and entertaining drama. See more Kajsa D @RT31474934 Sep 9, 2025 I loved King The Land! It only got better with every episode. The actors are superb. I have never seen any show or film so ramantic as this show. Simply lovely. And very inspirational for everyone working in hotels. I am hocked on everything south corean now, from clothes to food. Wathing from Sweden. See more Read all reviews
