Lee Jun-ho, the owner of Storm My Way, met the owner Lim Yoon-ah properly.
On the 18th, JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'King the Land' released the third teaser. The love challenge of Guwon (played by Lee Jun-ho), the new head of the department who has everything but not a house subscription account, laughter, or a love cell, stands out.
The released video opens powerfully with the image of Salvation jumping out of an airplane with a parachute. Guwon is a person who not only has the title of general manager of the King Hotel, but also has perfect beauty, intelligence, and wealth, so he doesn't want anything more.
If there's one thing he doesn't have, it's a house subscription account, laughter, and love cells. In particular, he extremely avoids pretentious laughter, and even when asked to "smile", he only gives an awkward smile with the corners of his mouth raised, while also ordering someone to "don't smile." This is because it is difficult to see the smiling faces of others, let alone one's own.
Due to his prickly personality that hates laughter and his lack of humor and sense, Guwon's love cells are frozen. The sight of her making a series of mistakes in front of hotelier Cheon Sa-rang (played by Im Yoon-ah) foreshadows a difficult future for a novice in love. Even the police officer (played by Jin Seon-gyu) points out the problem to Gu-won, saying, “You can see it when you look at it,” making people laugh.
To make matters worse, Gu-won is in a situation where Cheon-rang is being criticized by sharp comments such as "If you laugh, you'll be fired" and "Even if you die or wake up, that's not my style." He finally musters up the courage to approach her and asks, “Do you want to have dinner?”, but Cheon-rang flatly refuses, saying, “I don’t want to?”, which leaves Gu-won embarrassed. Attention is being paid to whether Guwon will be able to capture Cheon-rang's heart and shed the title of novice in love.
Meanwhile, Lee Jun-ho's delightful transformation into the character in the teaser video adds to curiosity. It increases immersion by expressing the charisma of the hotel manager as well as the awkward smile and gestures of a man who is unfamiliar with love. Expectations are rising for 'King the Land', which will bring both laughter and excitement thanks to Lee Jun-ho's unique charm.
'King the Land' is the story of Guwon (played by Lee Jun-ho), a man who despises laughter, and Cheon Sa-rang (played by Lim Yoon-ah), a smile queen who must smile, creating a day when they can truly smile brightly at King the Land, a VVIP lounge that is a hotelier's dream. It will be aired for the first time on the 17th.
