King the Land Review (2023): Is It Worth Watching?

Is King the Land worth watching?

Yes — King the Land is worth watching, holding a 68/100 Celluloid Editorial Rating and 82% Audience Snapshot on Celluloid. Its 66% Celluloid Score combines Celluloid editorial, Metascore (58), IMDb (5.8/10), and aggregated fan rating (80%), with audience sentiment shown separately.

What is King the Land about?

Gu Won is the reluctant heir to the King Group’s hotel empire, dropped into head office to prove himself against a half-sister who has spent years quietly consolidating power. Cheon Sa-rang is the chain’s model employee, promoted into the exclusive King the Land lounge largely on the strength of a smile she has learned to switch on for anyone. Gu Won cannot stand insincere smiles. They are, naturally, assigned to work side by side.

Celluloid verdict: Frothy, expensively glossy and entirely powered by Lee Jun-ho and Im Yoon-ah — the plotting is thin and the IMDb score took a beating, but the chemistry made it one of 2023’s biggest Korean streaming hits. The cast is led by Lee Jun-ho, Im Yoon-ah, Go Won-hee, Kim Ga-eun, Ahn Se-ha.
