Good Looking Cast
My secret hotel has an ex-husband, and King the Land will mostly have an ex-boyfriend (But no love triangle in King the Land as in My secret hotel)
PS: I have watched only 1 ep of my secret hotel and only 2 of King the Land have been released so this recommendation is based on very limited knowledge
Well, you have yet another CEO in love with a poor hardworking girl. King The Land is kinda similar to Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale. When you have Yoona in the lead, you got to watch it!
