The popular drama 'King The Land' appears to be losing its charm as its viewership ratings continue to decline.
During Episode 11, 'King The Land' experienced a significant drop in viewership ratings, falling to 9% from its highest rating of 12.3% in Episode 8 and 11.3% in Episode 10. This downward trend has indicated that the drama is gradually losing its appeal among its audience.
Fans have expressed disappointment with the slow storyline and what they perceive as outdated narrative elements. Reactions on various media platforms also suggest that the drama's storyline has become tedious since the two main characters confirmed their mutual feelings for one another.
Comparisons were drawn to older dramas like 'Boys Over Flowers,' with fans expressing their dissatisfaction with 'King The Land' for failing to deliver a compelling narrative. Some have even labeled the drama as 'Kiss (The) Land,' suggesting that the series lacks substance beyond love scenes.
Upvoted reactions include:
"I am personally so disappointed with King The Land. I was really anticipating a special storyline because they announced YoonA and Junho as the leads since last year, but it turned out to be just the same old style as 'Boys Over Flowers'...The storyline is too embarrassing and predictable...This is why I'm losing interest in the drama"
"I knew I wasn't the only one thinking this..."
"It's too childish and out of date"
"It's slow, and it drags...They just keep replaying songs while overemphasizing the romantic love line...even the music is too distracting because you can tell that they are trying too hard..."
"I can't believe a drama like King The Land is still airing today lol"
"A prince charming story from the 70s"
"It's too unrealistic and it's just your classic princess and prince charming story...I know it's only a drama but...only the two of them are jolly lol"
"They are even criticizing the drama as 'King The Land' = 'Kiss (The) Land' and the drama has nothing else to show...They think that including love scene is all it takes to create a drama"
"It's more fun to watch the reruns of 'The Red Sleeve'"
"I've been re-watching The Red Sleeve for over 2 years now but I can't re-watch an episode of King The Land...I'm already tired out by seeing the kiss scene edits on Instagram"
What are your thoughts? Have you been watching the drama?
seriously? nah!!!~ KING THE LAND is #1 ON CABLE TV RATING and also #1 ON NETFLIX GLOBAL .
king the land is slaying.
It's the first time I got to see a Kdrama in realtime with subs on my Netflix ...I LOVE KING THE LAND . It’s refreshing. This is a true great rom-com of love without toxicity and thriller. Im so sick of cliche darkness and death in every drama.
And yoona and junho have a great chemistry, both also so amazing actors.
