Watch it!

After my big dissapointment on her Big Mouth series, Im Yoon Ah came back alive, Lol!

King the Land, I would say, is a great piece. Though the storyline was ordinary, predictable, the creators were able to blend some interesting plots to keep me wanting for more. They were able make it interesting even without friction or the "misunderstanding" trick on the storyline. ML's sister did a great job on her role, she is one of the reasons why I irritatingly hoped that the next day after Sunday is Saturday, Lol! At one point, I hoped that this woman will hit rock bottom, so hard that she would become a street beggar by the end of the series, Lol! That was how effective she was in portraying her role. My blood pressure even goes up just by staring at her. Sesang-e! Lol!

I personally like Jun Wo, I have seen him in some of his series like Just Between Lovers, Wok With Love, Good Manager among others. He is a great actor. What I like about his role in KTL is his being so understanding and considerate to his girlfriend to the point he even cancelled his proposal just to give way for her dreams. Cool!

So far, I have not seen that many KDramas ended in a wedding. But the wedding part was was just right for the series.

Im Yoon Ah is likewise great with her performance in this series. For me, she is the right pick for the role. Bubbly, independent, has positive attitude towards life and determined to fulfil her dreams. Like I mentioned above, I was so dissapointed that about what happened to her in her Big Mouth series. That was so unacceptable to me to the point that I placed the series on hold half way through after I accidentally read a spoiler. I think I could still continue, I just dont have the heart. Seeing her again in KTL was so "reincarnating" for me, Lol! Im a big fan of her- her beautiful face, mesmerizing smile and enchanted voice. Both leads are "natural" actors and so the result is obvious.

Supports were all good. Great soundtracks.

I enjoyed watching. I can rewatch this without the skips. Lol!

I like It for no reason.

This series is not something superb, however, it was able to connect to me as a viewer. It does not have superb acting, powerhouse cast, or complicated story line but it really got my attention for some unknown reason. It totally captured me. This, for me, is one character a good series should possess. You just like it for no good reason. Lol!

The story is light, sweet, humble with realistic reasoning. I mean, the story did not have to go through a series of misunderstanding, so much pain, self pity and so on to establish a good plot. Most of the drama series Ive watched uses this ever so popular and effective but old "Misunderstanding" trick to stir its viewers emotion. Most of them succeeds in doing so but also alot failed. I mean, if I decide to rewatch this series, I can play it all without skipping those "bad" parts. You know what I mean, Lol!

One other thing I also like about this series are the Leads. They were simply made for this series. Their relationship was sweet and warm, though it was unstable in the beginning. A timid FL and a reasonably thinking ML, good combination.

I ofentimes assume something bad or a misunderstanding or jealousy will happen whenever I see a new character appered in an episode. But the writers handled it well. I ended up making false assumption myself, Lol!

I can say that a beatiful relationship does not need to have a good start or planned. Sometimes it can be coming from an unexpected or from an unwanted situation. And oftentimes the ones with a bad start usually last longer, would you agree? Lol!

The first JDrama that I really like was Perfect World. Now I have 2 in my "I Really Like JSeries" list. Searching for my 3rd. Lol!

Enjoy watching!

Uhm!

This series, I would say, is potentially good. However, the creators failed to maintain its promising course and ended up with lame attempt to toy the viewers emotions particularly on the latter part of the series. They thought they could play around by injecting twists but I find it ridiculously dumb. So the story seemed rushed towards the end, riddled with plot holes. They seemed like squeezing everything together in the last 15 minutes of the final episode. Watching the latter part, I was like, "What is going on here?". LOL!

ML was good, he was able to convey what a condescending brat is all about but with a heart. He was loyal and warm to the FL. He was "effectively" irritating sometimes LOL!

FL seemed a bit bored in this series. Did not see her portray her role for most of the time. Emotionless. Lifeless. Even up to last minute of the final eposode, she was kind of uninterested and detached. I understand that mybe because she was trying portray a character that isnt optimistic yet with the relationship because of bad experiences. But dont get me wrong here, I like her. She was good in her other series, She And Her Perfect Husband.

I would also like to comment, especially on the last minutes when the FL asked the ML if they could go home. It came across to me like, "Nothing is interesting out here, lets just go home". LOL! Whoever came up with that idea needed reflect on him or herself. LOL! So lame. To some, that might be acceptable but not for me. It messed up the finale. Not to mention the ML did not get a straight answer to his proposal and ended up guessing for a "Yes!" LOL!

Supporting casts were all good. I like their own little stories as well.

It took me almost a month to finish the series because I was torn between dropping it or waste more time finishing it. Unfortunately, I decided to waste my precious time. LOL!

Enjoy watching!

Appropriateness!

This would be a short review for me. I do not have issues with the performances. Everyone were at their very best and I salute all of them. The only thing that disappoints is appropriateness of the story line against the title and against the cast. For me, Yang Zi and Xu Kai must not be billed as main casts to this drama but instead the Mother (I'm sure, Yang Zi and Zu Kai would not mind being "The Real Support" casts here, LOL). Also, the title should not be Best Choice Ever. They could have thought of something more appropriate.

I understand that this is family oriented drama and not a romance-inspired piece, however, I felt that our main leads were "Used" as come ons to gain audience. I felt betrayed, LOL!
