The dramas are 'KING THE LAND' starring Yoona Girls Generation and Junho 2PM, and 'SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE' starring Shin Hae Sun and Ahn Bo Hyun.
These two ongoing dramas on Netflix both tell stories set in a hotel where the main characters work, but of course, they each have their own uniqueness. Let's find out the attractions of these two latest series!
1. Fantasy vs Comedy
Netflix
'KING THE LAND' stars Lim Yoon A as Cheon Sa Rang, an intern who is tasked with smiling all day at King Hotel and who will catch the attention of Lee Jun Ho, as Gu Won, the heir of the hotel who despises fake smiles. Director Lim Hyun-ook, who is accustomed to producing variety shows on television, stated that he always incorporates comedy, which has become his trademark. This can be seen from various humorous situations that ultimately make the two main characters fall in love.
'SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE' is adapted from the webtoon series of the same name, which tells the unique life of Ban Ji Eum (Shin Hae Sun) over 1000 years and being born 19 times. In her 19th life, she tries to find her true love, Moon Seo Ha (Ahn Bo Hyun), from her previous life. Although this series is set in the modern world and time, the aspect of reincarnation makes See You in My 19th Life unique because Ji Eum remembers everything that happened in her previous life with Seo Ha. Unfortunately, Seo-ha has no idea about this and only sees Ji-eum as a strange and overly friendly intern.

2. Not Your Ordinary Cinderella Story
Netflix
At first glance, these two series may seem like a modern version of the Cinderella story. However, Cheon Sa Rang is a hardworking girl who is fluent in several languages and never gives up easily. During an interview, she was asked to play the piano even though there was no instrument available. She quickly lip-synced and successfully got the job. She was even promoted to the front desk due to her extensive knowledge in the hotel industry!
On the other hand, Ji-eum died in a car accident at the age of 18, older than Seo Ha in her 19th life. She was reborn as a much younger girl in her 19th life, but retained all her intelligence and virtues after living for 1000 years. With her knowledge and clever plans, she could meet Seo Ha without anyone's help!
Witness how these two charming actresses achieve their dreams and love amidst all the obstacles!
3. Making Him Cold Closer
Netflix
Ahn Bo Hyun, loved for his sweet and adorable role in the popular webtoon series 'YUMI'S CELL', is considered successful in portraying a character that quickly captures attention. This time he plays Seo Ha, who has childhood trauma from witnessing Ji Eum's death in a car accident. His hearing in one ear doesn't function and he has no interest in having friends, let alone romantic relationships. Although Ji Eum can read the personality of every person based on her 1000-year life experience, Seo Ha still remains a mystery to her. Will Ji Eum succeed in making Seo Ha, the most cynical person in the world, believe that he is her first love?
Known for his captivating charisma in the song 'MY HOUSE', Jun Ho plays an heir to a conglomerate who is ostracized by his family and envied by others for his wealth. Initially, Sa Rang and Gu Won didn't have a memorable encounter because Sa Rang mistook Gu Won for a perverted customer and scolded him. However, Sa Rang's slow smile managed to penetrate Gu Won's heart. Watch Jun Ho's performance as Gu Won, a role that the actor himself said was very difficult to play because he must not laugh at all, even in scenes that are very ticklish!
4. Friendship Makes Life More Colorful
Netflix
Korean romantic comedy dramas always bring forth the main character's group of friends who are quick to help them in their love story. In 'KING THE LAND', Sa Rang has a group of friends who are also beginners in the working world. They relieve stress by going clubbing and listening to each other's confessions. And then there is Gu Won's right-hand man, whom she met when she was an intern at her father's company.
In 'SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE', Ji Eum is able to convince someone that she is a reincarnation of her previous life and express her desire to win Seo Ha's heart. Meanwhile, Seo Ha also has a friend/driver who is similar in his cold and cynical demeanor. The friend will also start his own love story, so don't miss out on this new character who is almost as popular as Ji Eum and Seo Ha from the original webtoon series!
Surely you don't want to miss the story of 'KING THE LAND' and 'SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE'! So, don't miss every episode!
