WEEKLY NAVER

In the JTBC Saturday drama 'King the Land', Lee Jun-ho and Lim Yoon-ah are two characters who are both jealous of their partner, Cheon-rang.

Gu-won, who is cute and jealous, tricked Samir into changing into a white hanbok and groom's suit an hour before the traditional wedding ceremony. Salvation, who appeared in front of the bride angel, smiled brightly and responded with a smile. After the traditional wedding ceremony, Cheerang did not refuse salvation, but she complained that she didn't want to see him with him. Angelang laughed, saying that it's something similar to jealousy, not jealousy.

Guo-gu said that no matter how selfish you are, you have to distinguish between public and private affairs. He promised to protect you and build up your strength for that.

Angelang, who was sleeping in a hotel room, was surprised by the sudden act of salvation and was greeted by the princess in the arms of an angel. She covered her mouth and caused an earthquake in her pupils. Irrespective of salvation, she laid the angel on the bed and said, "No one will come, so don't worry and get a good night's sleep. Okay?" He left.

Angelang, who was left alone, was surprised by the sudden act of salvation but couldn't hide his excitement. On the day of the wedding, Samir sent her dress to Cheon Sarang and her butler's clothes to her salvation and invited her to dinner. Chun Sarang proposed to Samir with a diamond ring, but Salvation refused and took her ring.

Samir was puzzled, asking what Salvation was. Guwon said that he was a boss with a duty to protect his employees and that he could buy the ring too. When Cheerang asked for a ring, he said, "Isn't it my gift? Please," firmly. Angelang, who received the ring, said, "I have never seen such a pretty ring. Thank you for thinking well of me. I will keep it in my heart for a long time. I will only be grateful for it."

On the other hand, salvation officially declared a head-to-head confrontation with Goo Hwa-ran, and Oh Pyeong-hwa and Kang Da-eul said, "If you don't talk, you won't know. I made up my mind to confess at the words, "Don't miss out on love and confess it." Afterwards, Ku-won took on the role of chef for Cheerang, and presented course dishes starting with pre-dinner wine. 

Lastly, while cooking the steak, a fire broke out, and Gu-won picked up the surprised angel and reassured him. The two shared their hearts and passionately kissed while the sprinklers were exploding.

 Actor Lee Ji-hoon has confessed his feelings after a controversy over power abuse in the drama 'Sponsor' in 2021.

He had complained about his performance to the production company multiple times, leading to the replacement of half of the staff, including himself. He also revealed that a friend who brought him to the filming set abused the staff. After a hiatus, he landed his first lead role in the movie 'Close Relationship'. 

The iron-clad romance tells the story of an aspiring musician, Seung-jin, and a figure designer, Rani, who share their daily lives across a wall with less than 1 degree of soundproofing.

The film is based on the French film 'How to Fall in Love with Your Worst Neighbor'. Lee Ji-hoon expressed his desire to appear in a similar image of his past self, who dreamed of becoming an actor and lived fiercely in 'Promotion'.

 He said that he watched the original because it was unique and relatable, and that he wanted to do it because it felt like his story. He also mentioned that after being discharged from the military, he set a specific time and worked three part-time jobs a day, attending auditions, and had a hard time. The lines of 'Promotion' also touched his heart.

Lee Ji-hoon faced a challenging task in a romance that unfolded across a wall, as he couldn't act while looking into the eyes of co-star Han Seung-yeon. He practiced and adapted to the situational drama by standing in front of the wall at home for a month after receiving the script. He tried to adapt to the different situations on set and tried to enjoy the experience.

During a difficult time due to rumors of gang violence among his staff and friends, Lee Ji-hoon encountered a 'closed relationship'. He clarified that his friend was not a gangster and that he has never been abused in his life. 

He tried to quit acting but felt that his life was denied. However, the director and head of the production company made him want to act again, and he now has more affection for 'Close Relationships'.

From the beginning, Lee Ji-hoon had a tremendous passion for acting, living next to the director and doing research in advance. He wants to act until he die because it is the only thing he knows how to do.

Lee Ji-hoon is working hard to promote 'Between the gaps' and meet the public with a poster in person. He is happy that a movie featuring his main character will be released on the big screen, but he is also trembling and bleeding. 

He was unable to bring a poster to Hongdae, Gangnam, and Konkuk University stations before being able to meet with Kyu-Pil and Kim. They agreed to go together, and Lee Ji-hoon went to Hongdae with them, Gangnam Station with the director, and Han River to promote the play. 

He felt respected when theater actors promoted themselves while playing a play, and he plans to continue doing this.

 In the drama 'House with a Yard', Lee Soo-min, a runaway girl, drove Moon Joo-ran's house into ruin. 

Lee Soo-min, who had been living with friends after running away, called Seung-jae, who was a teacher, to borrow math textbooks. 

When Seung-jae opened the gate, Lee Soo-min accidentally dropped and broke a framed photo of Seung-jae's family. He then sat down by the window and said, "Someone saw me and said that.

 He said, 'Isn't he supposed to be born?'" Lee Su-min then showed Seung-jae a pregnancy test with clear two lines and provoked him, saying, "Your mother is really pretty, but I'll win anyway." When Seung-jae ran out, Lee Su-min laughed and said, "Park Seung-jae, maybe you should call me mom. I'll come back after raising your little brother." 

Seungjae, shocked, pushed Sumin Lee off the stairs, and dark red blood flowed from the back of Sumin's head as he fell to the floor. Park Jae-ho, who ran home after receiving a call from Seung-jae, moved Soo-min Lee to the closet on the second floor.

The 'thump-thump' sound Ju-ran Moon heard in the house was Soo-min Lee, who was locked in the closet upstairs. Park Jae-ho buried Lee Soo-min's body in the yard, and Joo-ran smelled the rotten body.

Park Jae-ho fed Ju-ran and Seung-jae a drink with sleeping pills, took out the body, and left the house. 

Joo-ran asked if Jae-ho's statements to Seung-jae were true, and Park Jae-ho dismissed them. Joo-ran agreed to go to the police station with Seung-jae, as Seung-jae's guilt would persist for his life.

In the story, Seungjae, a young man, is threatened by Kim Yun-beom, who threatens to destroy his house, hospital, and future. Cho Sang-eun, a police officer, and Moon Joo-ran, who had the deceased Lee Soo-min's cell phone, are investigated together. 

The police end the investigation with the possibility that Kim Yun-beom harmed Lee Soo-min and made an extreme choice. The case is closed by suicide, and Sang-eun loses her husband's death insurance money. Her mother slits her wrists in her nursing hospital, and her private house is sold, and her place to stay disappears.

Eun-eun, who lost her husband's death insurance money, takes her husband's cell phone with her and goes on the bus. She is surprised to find Seung-jae gone, and she tells her mother that she saw his father kill Lee Soo-min. 

Lee Soo-min, injured but alive, knocks on the door and asks for help. Seung-jae goes to school and returns home, but Lee Su-min is gone. His father Jaeho digs up the ground and strangles Su-min, who looks anxiously at Seung-jae.

After hearing the terrible confession, Joo-ran cries, claiming that it was her mother's fault that she could have been saved. She unlocks her husband's phone number and finds a picture of the inside of Moon Ju-ran's house and the picture of the green grassy yard in Lee Soo-min's pink phone. The last location of Lee Soo-min's body is Park Jae-ho's house, and Kim Yun-beom threatens with this.

In the trailer, Sang-eun asks Moon Joo-ran to help her, believing that with Sang-eun's help, she can do it.

 In the 5th episode of JTBC's drama 'King the Land', Lee Jun-ho and Lim Yoon-ah navigate the delicate balance between love and flirtation in pink romance. Gu-gu (Lee Jun-ho) and Cheon-rang (Lim Yoon-a) enjoy heartfelt gifts and dinner dates. 

Guo-won searches for traces of her missing mother at the King Hotel, but the trauma persists without income. Cheon Sa-rang, hurt by Gong Nam (Ahn Woo-yeon), is alone in the rain, and seeing Angelang cry for the first time brings comfort to his cold heart.

In the 5th episode of 'King the Land,' Gu-won and Cheon-rang are reunited for their first dinner at a restaurant, dressed in the perfect couple outfits. They are misunderstood by the waitress, but eventually, they become attracted to the meticulousness of salvation, which reveals their inner thoughts and relieves their burden.

 Despite their separation, the excitement continues as they exchange small text messages, resembling a man and a woman who want to get to know each other.

Cheon Sa-rang, grateful for her past, invites Gu-won dinner and invites her to her restaurant, a teppanyaki restaurant she only goes to on special occasions. Despite their grumbling tone, Cheon Sarang's smile reflects her happiness. They promise to meet again, but their eyes change.

An accident occurs due to the difference in position between Ku Guo, head of the King Hotel, and Cheon Sang-rang, a hotelier. Salvation misunderstands that Cheonrang's behavior of calling VIP customers is to gain incentives.

 Gu-won sends Kingdom employees, including Cheon-rang, to all areas where King Hotel's business partners are located with a daily allowance. The decision to save comes as a huge butterfly effect, with Angelang going missing in the mountains. Despite the expected difficulty due to rain, salvation, who came directly from a helicopter, surprised those who threw themselves down the cliff with angels.

The episode's rating in the metropolitan area and nationwide reached 10.6% in the metropolitan area and 9.7% nationwide, with the highest rating in Bundang reaching 12.4%.

 Kim Eun-hee's 'Ghost' drama, which aired on Friday-Saturday, recorded double-digit viewership ratings in just two episodes. 

Nielsen Korea reported that the 4th episode, which aired on the 1st, recorded 10% nationwide viewership, a 1% decrease from the 11% recorded in the third episode. This is the same as the 10% recorded in episode 2, which aired last Saturday. The drama's success at the box office is attributed to its writer and director, Kim Eun-hee.

'Ghost' broke through the 10% mark in the second episode and ranked first among mini-series aired during June 19-25, with 1,242,132 viewers of all ages. It is the only weekly mini-series to surpass 1.2 million viewers. The series also demonstrated potential on the OTT platform, ranking first in Disney+'s Korean TV show category and receiving the most selection from new paid subscribers. It also ranked first in Kinolights, an OTT integrated search and content recommendation platform.

Ghost is leading the weekend drama competition, surpassing other dramas like 'King the Land' and 'Take Care of This Student'. 'Demon' quickly surpassed these dramas, surpassing 'King the Land', 'Take Care of This Student', 'Numbers: Observers in the Building Forest', and 'Missy Durian'. 'Goblin' also secured the top spot, with 'King the Land' recording 9.672%, 'Numbers' 3.2%, and 'Assisi Durian' recording 4%. This impressive performance has made 'Goblin' the 'King the Land' and secured its place in the competition.

Kim Eun-hee, the writer behind 'Ghost', faced disappointment with her previous TV drama 'Jirisan', which failed at the box office. The drama, which starred Jeon Ji-hyun and Ju Ji-hoon, was a hit with viewers but struggled with ratings and topicality. Consequently, she shifted her focus to 'Ghost', which aimed to combat the summer heat.

 'Goblin', a Korean-style occult drama, featured subjects related to folklore, legends, and tales. The drama arouses interest with a scary story and provides viewers with a theme consciousness. Despite the initial success, 'Ghost' remains a unique and captivating work for fans of the genre.

Kim Eun-hee collaborated with Kim Tae-ri and Oh Jeong-se to create a supernatural film. Kim Tae-ri's ghostly acting and Oh Jung-se's ghost-seeing performance added to the immersion, while Kim Tae-ri's clear face and sincerity evoked a response. 

The story, reminiscent of the box office failure of 'Jirisan', evoked tension and chills, reviving the Korean occult syndrome.
