The premiere of the new romantic comedy drama series 'King the Land', starring Yoona and Lee Junho, received significant criticism from viewers.

The show, which aired on June 17th on JTBC, left many disappointed after its first episode.

Despite having a talented cast, viewers felt that the drama portrayed the hotelier profession in an outdated and stereotypical manner, making it seem behind the times.

Several comments from viewers expressed their dissatisfaction:

"The script was poorly written, giving it a cliched rom-com feel reminiscent of early 2000s dramas."

"It seemed like the writer took all the problematic aspects of dramas from the 2000s and condensed them into this show."

"I was expecting a fresh take on a cliched plot, but it definitely didn't meet my expectations."

"As someone who works at a hotel, I was furious."

"The only scene I enjoyed was when the two main characters first met. The writer didn't do a good job overall."

"It's been a while since I've seen a drama this bad, so it was somewhat refreshing in that sense."

"Watching this show gave me the feeling that I was watching something from 20 years ago, just with better resolution."

In 'King the Land', the story revolves around Goo Won (played by Junho), who is the heir of a luxury hotel conglomerate, and Cheon Sa Rang (played by Yoona), a hotelier known for her constant smile until she meets Goo Won.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
