King the Land Episode 8 review

👑King The Land Episode 8 Review: I really liked how in this episode of “King The Land,” the writer used two contrasting scenes – Gu Won’s personal sauna experience versus the steam room scene – through Gu Won’s perspective we understand that although one can enjoy high-end saunas alone, they can be lonely. On the other hand, in a steam room there are delicious tea eggs and ice as well as interactions with others~

This warmth is something he has never experienced before. Additionally, here he learns about Oh Pyeong-Hwa’s suffering due to strange policies within King Group. It’s as if Gu Won disguises himself as an emperor going incognito to understand what ordinary people worry about or face unfair treatment.

Therefore, in the final moments of Episode 8 of “King The Land,” Gu Won cooks for Cheon Sa-Rang and serves her personally; it shows his genuine understanding of serving someone wholeheartedly, a feeling that those in power never truly comprehend. Hence, Gu Won is really making an effort to empathize with his employees.

Btw, Is the Indian actor who plays the Arabian prince also Ali from “Squid Game”? He’s wearing the same clothes as number 199 in Squid Game!
