In JTBC's weekend drama King the Land, Kim Ga Eun, who plays the role of Kang Da Eul, is displaying three different charms - as the sales queen at work, the eldest daughter at home, and a reliable pillar for her friends - inducing a case of 'Da Eul Fever.' Let's take a look at the reasons why viewers can't help but fall for her.

Top-Level Office Worker

Kim Ga Eun portrays her character with bright smiles and positive energy, highlighting her eloquent speech and confident demeanor. Her adept social skills shone during the company incentive trip. When Da Eul is mistaken as the one who prepared the incentive trip as No Sang Sik (Ahn Se Ha) due to Gu Won(Lee Jun Ho)'s lie, she tries her best to match his mood and bring laughter to the viewers throughout the trip.

The Breadwinner of the Family

Among her three friends, Da Eul is the only one with a family. She excels in cooking and household chores, garnering viewers' support for her steadfastness despite her in-laws' living arrangements. In particular, it was revealed that her husband, Seo Choong Jae (Choi Tae Hwan), who claimed to always work late, had quit his job and used his severance pay to play golf. This led to anticipation for Da Eul's future actions.Reliable Pillar for Her Friends

Da Eul has a close-knit chemistry with her long-time friends, Sa Rang (Im Yoon Ah) and Pyung Hwa (Go Won Hee). She helps with the tax-free sales to support Pyung Hwa's promotion at work and is always there to lend a helping hand to her friends when they encounter problems. Kim Ga Eun delicately portrays her loyalty and warm-hearted nature, amplifying Da Eul's charm.

Kim Ga Eun's portrayal of her character has received a strong positive response. Her resilience in overcoming crises with a determined attitude earned her praise as a "boss you want to work with" and a "realistic character." Viewers have complimented her saying, "I automatically smile whenever Da Eul appears." As a result, expectations are on the rise for her future performances.


King the Land airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 PM KST.
