Omg. Thank you!

I saw your repost/tags about The secret life of my secretary. So I started watching it. I haven’t had so much fun watching a kdrama in a while.

Do Min ik… yum! Last time I saw that actor was in Call it love. What a 180! I love it.

That drama is one of my faves!! It has that silly and soft kdrama feel that I just love. The hand-washing scene? CHEF'S KISS.

Also i miss Veronica Park-ee-ay-yo for ever and ever.

Love how in kdramas, the ones with the most ridiculous plots and absurd storylines have the actors with the most fire chemistry

In episode 2 (or 4, depending on the way you are counting them) of The Secret Life of My Secretary, actress Jin Ki Joo visits a manga cafè in Seoul and is seen reading 2 mangas.

I wasn't able to identify the first one (the title should starts with 스타스키 but Google just gives me Starsky and Hutch content in Korean), but the second is quite easy: Your Lie in April by Naoshi Arakawa, volume 11 (the last one), Korean version.

In that same episode, actress Kim Ji Min is seen reading The Tell-Tale Brain, which presumably is the 2010 nonfiction book by V. S. Ramachandra, but I wasn't able to find the correct edition. Perhaps it's a Korea-only edition?

It caught me SO offguard that "the secret life of my secretary" has such superb acting in it I was 100% prepared for another (intentionally) over the top show but it caught me totally offguard that even the standard tropes and storylines were carried out SO WELL, especially Kim young-kwang he played Do Min-ik PERFECTLY I hated him when I was supposed to hate him and learned to love him along the way. Man this guy is in my top 5 now why doesn't he have more romantic dramas :(

I also absolutely LOVED the friendship between Victoria and gal-hee the way they cheered when they shared their love stories was absolutely adorable!!

Oh and min-iks and gal-hees first kiss??? WOAAAH that was some world class kiss right there!!

Dramas from this past month :) I was on a trip the whole time, so I watched random stuff and rewatched a lot.

Love Between Fairy and Devil, 2022 (cdrama) 9

The Lord supreme of the Moon Tribe gets out of fairy prison after 30.000 years thanks to a seemingly innocent orchid fairy who accidentally frees him and links them together.

This was epic. I'd say I was lost 40% of the time, but I enjoyed it a lot. It was my first cdrama of this type, and I wasn't expecting to be into it, but I totally binged it.

I Hear Your Voice, 2013 (kdrama) 8

19-year-old ML partners up with FL lawyer to help her win cases with his ability to read minds. Ten years prior, she had been a key witness and helped get the man who killed his father in jail.

I need to remind myself that I usually get a bit bored with lawyer dramas. It's hard to explain if I enjoyed this one or not. On one side, I loved LJS, and Lee Bo Young was great as the FL. The storyline had great aspects, and I binged most of it, but I wouldn't say it left an impression or something. I spent the last episodes skipping because I was already tired of it.

Full House, 2004 (kdrama) 7/7.5

Already known lol. A scriptwriter is duped by her friends and loses her house to an actor. To regain possession of it, she enters into a contract marriage with him.

I kinda like watching old kdramas because I find them more bingable… until this one lol. Full House was a bit a lot of a mess. Granted, the 00s seemed to be THE time for MLs who spend half of the drama chasing another woman while the FL tags along, but this became difficult to follow quickly. The only reason I kept going was because Song Hye Kyo and Rain were really charismatic and fun to watch together (also, they're both really good looking it's insane)

I really wanted to like this oldie, but their chaotic coming and going broke me.

The Legend of the Blue Sea, 2016 (kdrama) (rewatch!) 10 ⭐️

A mermaid meets a con man in Spain and falls in love. When the bad guys come for him, they both separate with the intention of meeting again in Seoul, except his memory is erased and he doesn't remember her.

I'm not sure if this is a 10 for everyone, but it's certainly a 10 for me. It has everything, and Jun Ji Hyun is absolutely perfect in it, truly a comedy queen. It's also probably my favorite Lee Min Ho role. Rewatching it made me laugh, aww, and giggle all over again. (I kinda think the reason I liked it is because it reminds me of My Girlfriend is a Gumiho but better lol)

An Incurable Case of Love, 2020 (jdrama) 8

A girl falls in love with a doctor while visiting Tokyo and decides to become a nurse to meet him again.

This was very much like Mischievous Kiss/Playful Kiss, but maybe lighter and sweeter? Definitely more watchable. Emotionally constipated MLs get a bit annoying at some point but I remain a big fan of sweetheart FLs.

The Date of Marriage, 2023 (jdrama) 7.5/8

A girl with a life plan is two years away from thirty but still hasn't achieved what she wanted (marriage). A co-worker proposes that if she still hasn't found someone by the time she turns thirty, he'll marry her.

The premise in this one is rather weak. Boy likes girl, and girl likes boy, and so there really is no reason for why they shouldn't date when both established such a promise (getting married by her 30th bday), but because of insecurities, they come and go about whether they like each other or not, and it's annoying. On the other hand, this little drama is super original in its way of storytelling. Breaking the 4th wall with authentic ways for the characters to express themselves. It's also visually dynamic. The colors make for an extremely nice watch. Aaaaand, both ML and FL are cute as hell with great chemistry.

Shopping King Louie, 2016 (kdrama) 7.5

The overprotected successor of a business empire gets into an accident and loses his memory. A girl from a rural area who is in Seoul looking for her brother (whose disappearance is linked to the ML's accident) decides to take him under her wing as they both try to make it on their own.

Seo In Guk heavily saves this drama, lol. I kept watching mainly because of him, Nam Ji Hyun, and the decent cast. I kinda started annoyed at the secondary characters and ended up really enjoying them. It's a silly fun drama where the premise is obviously not the forte, but still, I had fun watching.

Rewatched Dramas! (That I'm not adding above cause I flash-watched them = meaning I skipped a lot of scenes lol) ⬇️

Destined With You, 2023

I wanted to rewatch this one to see if the rating I gave it held up, especially since I feel like it was the beginning of a long list of kdramas with a similar premise (and, like, they all came out around the same time—what was that?).

To me, at least, it deserves a decent 8.5. It was probably my favorite of all the ones with similar storylines (My Demon, A Good Day to be a Dog, The Story of Park's Marriage Contract, My Man in Cupid). The first episodes grab you completely, and then the story kind of lowers the quality a bit, but Rowoon and Bo Ah keep it entertaining.

The Secret Life of My Secretary, 2019 ⭐️

ML hires secretaries only for a year. Despite her impeccable behavior, FL is no exception. Just when he fires her, ML loses the ability to recognize faces except for his secretary's, the one he just fired.

This is def a 7/7.5 type of drama, but I think it’s the one I’ve rewatched the most. 100% a comfort one for me. The plot is insane, and I don’t always like it, but the chemistry between the leads is so worth it. Their whole boss-secretary dynamic is so original and cute and just perfeeeect. Both actors truly nail the cute persona.

Is ‘King the Land’ a mess of clichés and cringey comedy? Yes

Is ‘King the Land’ a 2015/2016 coded rom-com k-drama in 2023? Yes

Do I absolutely love it though? Hell yeah!!!

As much as I love the upgraded and darker, more psychological wave of k-dramas in recent years, I still adore tropey romance k-dramas. This k-drama reminds me so much of shows like ‘What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim’ and ‘The Secret Life of My Secretary’. It just has that early-mid 2010s rom-com vibe that I miss. And yes 2010s rom-coms are not perfect and have some tropes and lines that don’t hold up in today’s society… but I’m still a sucker for them. And ‘King the Land’ feels like it’s one of these but just more up to date. Trope upon trope, outrageous comedy and overly dramatic scenes in slow-mo. Even the characters are peak 2016 rom-com characters, just a bit more modernized. I’m super excited to see where this drama goes.
