How do you deal with an uptight rich snob who doesn't want to smile? You just get stranded on an island, get him drunk, and make him fall head over heels for you! JTBC's hot new romantic comedy King the Land continues to reign number one! Plus, we show you all the beautiful filming locations you must visit! Read on to find out!
After just four episodes, King the Land has reigned as the most-watched drama this summer! According to Nielsen Korea, each episode has secured the number one spot! In addition, episode four, the most recent episode, has garnered the most audience watched with a 9.645% viewership rating! With good reason, King the Land deserves to be one of the top-watched dramas this summer as it boasts amazing scenery from Jeju Island!
Spoilers!
In the most recent episodes, our disjointed main characters, Cheon Sa Rang (Im Yoon Ah) and "princely" Goo Won (Lee Jun Ho), are stranded on a strange island called Gapado with an old scheming couple trying to rip off our leads as the "best hotel on Gapado". This week's episodes move the relationship even further when the two spend a night at this "best hotel" wearing flowery ahjumma (middle-aged women) clothing in a single room separated by a bed sheet.
We love the fact that after just three episodes, the leads are showing chemistry with each other! Goo Won finally expresses his emotions at the end of episode 3! The hilarious moments of Goo Won trying to get Sa Rang alone in episode 4 and after all his efforts, she turns him down.

There were so many beautiful and romantic scenes during the last episode that we couldn't wait to share them with you! Another "hot scene" was when Sa Rang and Goo Won are on their photoshoot, and making the "princely" Goo Won smile was the task at hand.
