Kdrama fans are also becoming like kpop fans because they’ve become overly protective of their favorite actors and demand toxic positivity from everyone because of it. The original commenter didn’t like the show and it’s their right to not like the show. I agree with them, I didn’t like it because it wasn’t good. People are allowed to have a different opinion from you without having to read a hypocritical essay calling them a kpop fan when the only one exhibiting fan behavior here is you.

I really like Lee Jun Ho but really hate his choices in projects. I haven't liked anything he's done since The Red Sleeve. I wish he would choose better roles.

Nope, and the dad is nowhere near special enough to put up with that nonsense. Fuck that kid fr.

If his ex didn’t want him to be in the child’s life then he has not told us that part of the story yet. Which is why I said I will wait until the next episode to hear if there is a better reason why, because the reasoning he’s given so far is unacceptable.

If that’s the case then “me and my girlfriend broke up, she took our son to Germany, and I made no attempt to see or speak to him in the last 14 years” is the entire explanation then he’s a deadbeat dad and that’s gross af. A breakup is not an acceptable reason to have never met your child in over a decade.

This is his second show that I’ve watched and I really like him! I think he has great leading man potential.

Anyone who is enjoying Chang Ryul in this drama, I HIGHLY recommend The Scandal of Chun Hwa. That drama has easily put him in my top 5 hottest kissers in kdrama history!

I actually got chills when he said the line about having a son at the end of that episode. It felt like a horror movie because that's an insane lie to tell, even by omission, but I understood why she forgave him. She wouldn't have given him a chance at all if she'd known he had a son straight out of the gate, and it was only because she gave him a chance that she was able to realize she could like him so much. I think that's why she forgave the lie. But him being a deadbeat on top of all that will be the last straw for me. I'll watch the next episode to see if he has a very good reason for abandoning his son and if he doesn't, I'm definitely out.

Thank you for this comment. Not watching this. Down with fish kisses.

Well I was enjoying this a lot up until episode 4 when I learned the ML hadn't seen or spoken to his son in 14 years?! Like... in 14 years you have not picked up a phone, gotten on a plane, or even sent so much as a DM to your literal SON? Wtf? Last time I checked, Germany has telephones, and airports, and the internet so there is zero excuse for this. Not that interested in any of the other storylines so I'm pretty sure I'm done with this drama, deadbeat dads are just not my cuppa tea.

Takes a lot of hard work to make a pseudo-incest plot boring but somehow they succeeded. Nothing about this was interesting, even when both "siblings" were making eyes at their sister at any given opportunity I couldn't even muster up any repulsion, I was simply just bored to death.

Super frustrating because plot has so much potential but I've only made made it to the end of episode 2 and already find the clown painfully boring to watch. Yes the king was a monster but his flaws are what made him interesting. The clown is almost too perfect and perfect people are boringgg! His annoying perfection has also done a stand-up job of ensuring he has exactly ZERO chemistry with the queen. Might have to drop this one.

There are hundreds of well-written titles on this site with scores in the 7s. I've been convinced for a while now that any show or movies with a score below 8 is almost guaranteed to be good. King the Land has an 8.3 on this site for example and that show is complete joke. A high score on this site means absolutely nothing.

I cried watching this because the woman the king fell in love with is actually gone! The scene where he was looking at his Dictionary of the Queen’s Language knowing something was off. 💔 I can totally see your BL angle.

Started off so strong but I honestly have no desire to even finish the last 2 episodes. I think it was the horrible love scene that finally did me in lol. I knew the moment I watched the first 2 episodes that it would be hard to top and I was right. Once the leads have already kissed so passionately it takes a really talented writer to keep the conflict strong enough to maintain that excitement until the end. Oh well at least I discovered the wonderful Ahn Eun Jin (My Dearest is a must watch) and found a new appreciation for Jang Ki Young as well so it's not a total loss.

I usually struggle to finish dramas that are 20+ episodes because there's always a lot of filler which makes me lose interest, but the way I have devoured this drama is insane. I pressed play on episode 1 and looked up the next day and was already at episode 18 still riveted. This drama is so laugh-out-loud funny but also has so much depth at the same time. I'm so mad at myself for waiting this long to watch it, IT'S SO GOOD.

Update: Finished it in 2 days and this drama really touched my heart, I cried a lot. On the surface it's a cute comedy, but when you really delve deep, it's actually a tragedy. It's easily one of my top 10 favorite dramas of all time. Wish I could give it a 15/10.

I came here just to find this comment. Thank you, I can leave now lol.

It's crazy how no one is talking about this show. I really enjoyed every single storyline and it has the hottest kiss scenes I've ever seen in a kdrama, hands down. The writer also knows when enough is enough and doesn't drag the story out for 16 episodes when 10 will do, so it was faced-paced. My only small gripe is that I feel like the crown prince and princess's story was much more interesting than the main one, and I wish more attention had been paid to that. Otherwise, I loved it.

That's your choice. I'm still enjoying the show but I definitely won't be rewatching the love scene like I did the first two episodes.

There are more kisses after episode 2 and a lot of skinship. And most of their kisses/chemistry after the ML learns the truth are super hot. But the actual love scene was lukewarm. From the first two episodes I was sure it was going to beat out What's Wrong with Secretary Kim for hottest love scene but it just... wasn't good. At all. It's like it was shot by an entirely different production crew lol.
