Well, look at this! I actually completed 2 dramas in October! It brought me the family comedy spy drama Family: The Unbreakable Bond which was a decent watch overall and the romantic comedy King the Land which was a good one. Here’s how it went:
Family: The Unbreakable Bond
Family: The Unbreakable Bond was an interesting drama to say the least. Of course, the main reason I had to check this series out was because of the reunion of Jang Hyuk and Jang Na Ra. I love this couple, and getting to see them on screen together again was a delight.
The drama had two sides with a family comedy element that had lots of fun family hi-jinks and then a spy action story. The spy story initially felt weak, but as we went deeper, it was more complex. It was surprisingly dark, but it was done well enough. Tonally, the drama felt very uneven which gave it an odd feel, and the drama as a whole was a bit sloppy.
So, in the end, Family: The Unbreakable Bond was a nice enough watch. Jang Hyuk and Jang Na Ra are definitely the standouts and both put in fantastic performances. (Family: The Unbreakable Bond Review)
King the Land
King the Land is like a romp through cotton candy land in the drama world. This is a feel good romance at its best. It’s also pretty much the definition of a kdrama rom-com. Fairly standard but light and comforting with a bit of a fairy tale feel. There is some family business conflict to add a bit of angst, but for the most part, the drama is light.
Junho and Yoona have a fun chemistry with lots of great moments between them. If you like your romances sweet with a dash of maturity, than this one is for you!
So overall, I really enjoyed King the Land. It doesn’t do anything new, but it does what a rom-com needs to do by delivering a heart-fluttering romance that oozes with sweetness, just enough story to keep a good pace, and a great cast to deliver the fun. (King the Land Review)
So how was October for you?
Happy drama watching to everyone!
