Love was 'in the air' on set
Let's start with the well-known. Due to the excellent chemistry between Yoona and Junho, a large number of Korean media started to question if it was all acting or perhaps love had struck them on set, hence the rumors on social media increased. At the end of the day, both actors denied the rumors and calmed the waters.
Yoona and Junho worked together before
Maybe you don't know, but in 2021 2PM member, Junho and the iconic Yoona (Girl's Generation) worked together and showed an impressive chemistry as MCs of the 'Gayo Daejejeon' on the MBC television network. This latter fact influenced the rumors of a supposed relationship.
"King The Land" had a rough start
As you read it, the drama starring Junho and Yoona and aired on the South Korean channel JTBC, had a not so pleasant start, reaching an audience of barely 5%, but everything changed as the plot progressed and now it has audience ratings close to 12%.
Episodes were not going to be fully available on Netflix
Initially, the streaming giant did not plan to release all episodes simultaneously with the Asian country, but everything changed due to the 'boom' on social media and unofficial websites where episodes of the acclaimed drama were circulating simultaneously with the JTBC network. Thanks to that, they decided to release all the aired episodes and premiere them at the same time as in South Korea.
The magnificent OST
It is well known that one of the great reasons for a drama to succeed is the OST, especially "King The Land", which is one of the most complete among the K-dramas aired this year. It features renowned artists and great talent behind the scenes such as Gaho, Lim Kim, Jung Seung Hwan, Kim Woo Jin, Punch, Se Woon, and HYNN (so far).
Sa Rang's grandmother
If you are a fan of dramas, Cha Soon-hee (Sa Rang's grandmother) will surely seem familiar to you, because the actress who portrays her, Kim Young-ok, is a veteran who has participated in countless productions such as "Love is like the cha-cha-cha", "Young Lady and Gentleman", "Dear Friends", "The King: Eternal Monarch", among other great and acclaimed movies and series.
