I hated Leave the World Behind. There were big messages in the story but I was too irritated by some the characters which ultimately resulted in the one-star rating. It started off fine. A little slow but it was building nicely and the anticipation was exciting. In fact it was pretty good for 90% of the show but the ending tanked it. Some of the characters we're insufferable beyond belief. The only character I liked was GH played it by Mahershala Ali. The most annoying characters were the two daughters, Rosie and Ruth. I do not want to see that Friends is the show you're going to watch when the world is ending.

I really liked King the Land a for a number of reasons. (Let’s skip the episodes with the Indian guy acting like an Arab - and that's racist). I thought Yoona was perfectly cast because of her smile (the premise of the show). I found it radiated through the screen. She played this character so well, and I loved seeing her in the uniform and acting as a VVVIP guest hostess. Lee Jun-ho came across as probably one of the coolest, confident, caring characters I’ve seen in a Kdramasl. I like the way he consistently showed up for everyone. I liked some of the cast especially the lead male character's manager. He played the role pitch perfect. A bundle of nerves and constant desire to be loved and seen. The sister was an insecure mess with ice in her veins, but happy that she finally saw a path to happiness with her son. I loved the grandmother, and the actress who played the character. She brought common sense skepticism, infused with love for her granddaughter. They also packed a lot into the couples journey. I found their relationship very tender and found myself smiling. Every time they were on the screen to the point that my cheeks hurt. I was immersed and committed in their love story. I did find it odd that in episode 15 they decided to bring in a new element with her having a desire to own a small bed-and-breakfast. I don’t know what the writers were thinking there, but that didn’t make any sense. But in the end it ended as I would hope.

Absolutely loved this show! 10/10! It took me through a range of emotions but I loved that there was redemption and justice. The Ra Mi-ran, who played the mother, and Lee Do-hyun, who played the son, were phenomenal! And they were closely followed by the 2 children - Park Da-On and Gi So Yoo, who were perfection. There is one thing I'll say about Korean dramas, I don't know how they get child actors to perform so brilliantly but they are some of the best child actors I've seen anywhere.
