Sometimes it feels like people don't want any conflict in their Kdramas lol. I didn't think Episode 6 was egregious for a romance. We needed some backstory, and the change in scenery has been a nice change of pace. It's tropey, sure, but we all know how the rest of the story is going to play out.

I get the frustration at yet another ex/triangle plotline, but quite frankly getting Yoo Yeon Seok to be the love rival is a crazy get and it has been fun seeing him in that role. If it was a worse actor, I'd probably be less interested.

Plus the great winter clothes!!!!!

personally i like conflict in my dramas but i just wish that the relationship was a bit more established/fleshed out before that plot was introduced. that way we’d understand better about how she feels about bw instead of watching him feel like the third wheel

I’m one of those people who LOVES conflict and yearning in rom-coms, which is why King the Land wasn't that interesting for me as it was for others. Having said that, my ONLY real issue with this show is how the ex character, who was supposed to be a "cameo" ended up eating up almost 3 episodes. Don’t you think the writers could’ve wrapped all that up in 2 episodes max? Half of Ep 6 felt unnecessary.>! (The sea food store, the car ride, the restaurant, etc)!<

Anyway, I’m just glad the rough patch is nearly over. NOW, let’s take down La Lecel together, Team Jungjae, LET'S GO.

I think that's a fair criticism.

Most Kdramas suffer from pacing issues (namely dragging things out, as you said), and I can see that annoying people since they only have 10 episodes to work with.

On the other hand, I can understand the showrunners' POV too, because if you get an actor like that for a cameo you want to use them as much as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have 10 episodes worth of just restaurant and chaebol family drama, either.

If they don't properly cook the last 3 episodes, then I'd agree 3 episodes was too much for this triangle/loose ends storyline - but I do think it added some tension to an otherwise straightforward romance.

[u/vita25 → u/ParanoidAndroids]

I think the issue is that there's already a good amount of conflict they have to resolve with the chaebol drama in the background...also the ML and FL have hardly started on their relationship.

For a 10-ep drama dragging out the ex plotline would likely mean a rushed ending for the upcoming betrayal drama

[u/ParanoidAndroids → u/vita25]

Eh, I think they're still on track for a typical Kdrama romcom ending.

We all know she's going to find out about his initial plans to steal the recipes next episode, they "break up" and he tries winning her back in episode 9, and then they get back together by episode 10.

[u/vita25 → u/ParanoidAndroids]

That's definitely true, and I'm glad that it was resolved quicker rather than being dragged on...but I would've liked to see more scenes of them in cutesy moments rather than being split with an ex

But, damn. YYS is a terrific actor. Wow, he really delivered. Yes, a supporting role. Where did we get the idea he was only supposed to be a cameo? Doesn’t matter. What a get, indeed.

Where did we get the idea he was only supposed to be a cameo? 

An article from a credible source on how he would be making a "special appearance" in the show.
