2PM's Lee Junho And Girls' Generation's YoonA Both Lean On Their Friends In New Drama "King The Land"

Jun 14, 2023

JTBC’s upcoming drama “King the Land” has shared a sneak peek of its leads’ closest friendships!

“King the Land” will tell the story of the unlikely romance between Gu Won (2PM’s Lee Junho), a chaebol heir who can’t stand fake smiles, and the constantly smiling Cheon Sa Rang (Girls’ Generation’s YoonA), who becomes known as the “queen of smiles” while working her way up at the King Hotel.

Ahn Se Ha will play the role of Noh Sang Sik, Gu Won’s secretary and longtime friend. The two men accidentally met on Gu Won’s first day at work, and they have been inseparable ever since.

As Gu Won is someone who hates insincere smiles more than anything else, Noh Sang Sik—who is incapable of saying things he doesn’t mean—is the perfect match for him as a friend. He also helps out the stubborn Gu Won, who never cares what anyone else thinks, by stopping him from doing anything overly impulsive.

However, Noh Sang Sik’s unflinchingly brutal honesty often rubs Gu Won the wrong way, leading to a lot of adorable bickering between the duo.

Meanwhile, Cheon Sa Rang has two besties that she’s known since her college days: Oh Pyung Hwa (Go Won Hee) and Kang Da Eul (Kim Ga Eun). All of the “three musketeers” work at subsidiaries of King Group—Cheon Sa Rang works as a hotelier, Oh Pyung Hwa as a flight attendant, and Kang Da Eul at a duty-free shop.

However, that’s not all the three friends have in common. The three women, who serve as one another’s emotional support systems, are all hard-working and full of energy—and they also know how to have a good time. Newly released stills from the upcoming drama show the trio letting loose after work by singing and dancing in one of their apartments.

But even in the middle of a cute party, the friends can also get serious as they open up to one another about the problems they can’t tell anyone else. Sometimes, they’re each other’s family away from home; at other times, they serve as one another’s trusty dating coaches.
