King the Land episode 4: Frustration and confusion rules as Sa-rang and Won butt heads

Episode 4 of King The Land begins with Yu-nam attempting to reconcile with Sa-rang (Lim Yoon-A). However, his self-centered nature becomes apparent when he reveals plans with his club members. Sa-rang expresses her displeasure, and reluctantly, he cancels his plans and suggests they have gimbap together.

When Sa-rang breaks up with him, instead of trying to appease her, Yu-nam answers a call from his friends and assures them that he will meet up with them soon. Frustrated, Sa-rang walks away, and although Yu-nam hesitates, he ultimately lets her go.

Meanwhile, Gu Won (Lee Jun-ho) is driving back home and finds himself in disbelief at his own jealousy in King The Land. He gazes at himself in the mirror and questions why he, out of everyone, is reacting in such a manner. He even contemplates discarding the macarons.

Hwa-ran continues to taunt Won and belittle him, claiming he holds no power. Annoyed by her condescending attitude, he recalls Sa-rang's drunken statement about the importance of treating everyone fairly.

At work in King The Land, Su-mi harbors jealousy and predicts that Sa-rang will soon be dismissed. However, the manager of the VIP lounge, Jeon, is incredibly friendly. She guides Sa-rang through her tasks and expresses her confidence in Gu's decision to promote Sa-rang.

Meanwhile, Gu Won is lost in thought. While Sang-sik assumes he is focused on improving King The Land's revenue, Won's mind is preoccupied with Sa-rang. Sang-sik sees right through his facade and labels him a pitiful kid for teasing his crush.

The misfired date in King The Land episode 4

Won doesn't bother concealing his emotions as he informs Sang-sik that he intends to have dinner with Sa-rang. He instructs Sang-sik to arrange a dinner date, using the pretext of a welcome dinner. Meanwhile, the hapless secretary is simply attempting to get Won to select a photo for the PR campaign.

The staff dinner organized by Sang-sik turns into a grand flop as he misunderstands Gu Won's intentions and arranges it as a group welcome dinner for Sa-rang. As they sit down to eat, Won notices that Sa-rang hasn't touched her Japanese cuisine. In response, he orders Sang-sik to fetch a steak from the restaurant next door, knowing that she cannot eat raw fish.

This unexpected request shocks the VIP staff, and Won goes even further by asking Sang-sik to cut the steak for her. However, Sa-rang stops him abruptly, taking a large bite as the seniors mock her. Feeling embarrassed, she sends him a text message, asking to meet outside.

Outside, Sa-rang expresses her frustration at being singled out, highlighting the challenges she already faces as a rookie trying to fit in. She confronts Won about his lack of concern for others, as he seems to live a life of privilege. Perplexed, he fails to grasp why she is upset, as he viewed his actions as a kind gesture.
