The Premise
“King The Land” kicks off with an intriguing premise: a young and dashing chaebal, who is more accustomed to boardrooms than ballrooms, finds himself entangled in the web of tradition, duty, and, of course, romance. Our protagonist, chaebal Hyun-soo, is a modern-day royal who has been groomed to take over the family business empire. But as fate would have it, his path crosses with that of an ordinary yet spirited woman, Ji-won, who works at a prestigious hotel. What follows is a whirlwind of events that challenge their preconceived notions about life, love, and loyalty.
The Characters
Hyun-soo
Let’s start with our charming chaebal, Hyun-soo. Hyun-soo is the epitome of a reluctant heir. He exudes confidence in the corporate world. His journey from a pragmatic businessman to a prince who embraces his royal responsibilities is both endearing and amusing.
Ji-won
Enter Ji-won, the feisty and independent hotel staff member who inadvertently becomes a part of Hyun-soo’s world. Her down-to-earth nature and quick wit make her a perfect foil to Hyun-soo’s initially stiff demeanor. The chemistry between Hyun Soo and Ji Won, and their banter adds a delightful layer of humor to the show.

Hyun-soo’s struggles to assert his authority in the family business, while staying true to his values, create a compelling subplot. The boardroom battles and power plays add an element of suspense and keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
