A mature, healthy romance to keep you hooked from start to finish
While waiting for new episodes of King the Land I just picked something from my list on Netflix to watch inbetween, and the summary of this one looked interesting, even though it doesn't seem to be as highly hyped and promoted as some of the other K-dramas on Netflix. Don't let that discourage you from watching this. This is definitely a shiny jewel among k-dramas. I've been binging it now over the last week. It has just the right amount of drama and intrigue without most of the toxic/cliché tropes that are so common in kdramas, with a healthy sort of love triangle and a realistic relationship between mature adults. The acting feels natural and genuine, especially between the two main lead actors.
I was absolutely gobsmacked by Kim Seon-ho's performance in this. First drama I've seen him in and yet I'm willing to say he's one of the best Korean actors I've ever seen (and I say that with about 15 years and hundreds of dramas under my belt). I'm sad I haven't discovered him sooner, but now I'll have to catch up one some other of his work.
