The story took a different turn.

The pilot shows of King The Land, which stars Yoona of Girls' Generation and Lee Jun Ho of 2PM, just came out.

At first, people who watched episode one didn't like it. Many people thought it was silly and said the writing was like old plays.

People said that the story was out of date and that the plot was just a bunch of old ideas.

Even though the story got off to a bad start, it seems to be getting better. Between the first and second shows, ratings have gone up by a lot.

Nielsen Korea said that 7.5% of paid households in the whole country watched the second show. On June 18, 2023, the show aired. This is a 2.4% rise from the first episode's rating of 5.1%.

As people have had time to think about the drama since the second episode, the reaction has recently changed. A lot of people like the show!

"All of the shows my mom watches do well. The show is fun for my parents."

"So many people said bad things about it, but I guess it's fun. Congrats."

"It reminds me of old romantic comedies. It's cool. Both Lee Jun Ho and Yoona are cute and smart. It's a good light story to watch."

"Even if it's beaten to death, the numbers prove it."

"It seems like an old-fashioned, cliched story like kimchi stew. You can watch it in comfort."

"It looks like fun since the numbers are going up. The first episode was criticized, but the second episode is different. I thought I saw people saying bad things about it in posts that were good about it, but it seems to have become more famous."

"I thought it would be successful. The things in it are funny and easy to watch."

"I didn't like how much it was getting criticized, but judging by how well it's doing in the polls, everything is fine now."

"It is so cliched and silly, but some people watch it because of that."

In King The Land, Yoona plays a hotel owner named Cheon Sarang who has a cute smile. She gets into the famous King Group Hotel and becomes involved with Gu Won (Junho), the hotel's owner. Gu Won does not like fake smiles.

IVE's Ahn Yujin just shared a sweet story about her friendship with aespa's Karina, and fans are loving the adorable details!

On January 28, Ahn Yujin appeared on Salon Drip 2 and got candid about how her friendship with Karina began.

During the show, Jang Do Yeon asked Ahn Yujin if she had ever talked to Karina, who is also a leader, about the struggles of being in charge after they performed on stage together.

Ahn Yujin revealed, “I’ve wanted to get closer to Karina for a while. I’ve focused on just becoming friends, so we didn’t really talk deeply yet, but I want to ask her more about it. Our teams are very different, but they’re all so amazing!”

When asked how she approached Karina, Ahn Yujin shyly admitted, “The first time we met was through a challenge. Karina’s team wanted to take photos with me, and I made sure to dress nicely. I was so nervous!"

She added, "I had two things I wanted to ask: ‘Can I call you unnie?’ and ‘Can I get your number?’ But I couldn’t bring myself to do it because there were just too many things on my mind. I wanted to talk well, dance well, and look good on camera.”

Ahn Yujin then explained that after a collaboration stage offer came up, she thought of Karina and even got her number through a mutual acquaintance. But, worried about making Karina feel uncomfortable, Ahn Yujin didn’t contact her right away. Instead, she waited until Karina contacted her first!

Ahn Yujin shared, “I heard Karina was talking about me, so I thought I should contact her. But then, she contacted me first,” looking genuinely touched. Jang Do Yeon teased, “You both are so cute! Are you getting close now?”

With a bright smile, Ahn Yujin responded, “Yes! We’ve decided to have a meal together soon.” She also thanked Karina for being so kind, especially when Karina texted her after practice, saying she had worked hard.

Ahn Yujin revealed, “Lately, I keep asking her if it’s okay to post pictures of us on social media,” showing just how strong their growing friendship is.
