Hotel King: Episode 19 Recap

Mo Ne can't believe her eyes and ears when Baek Mi Nyeo pronounces her no longer chairwoman of Ciel. Mo Ne declares she's still a major shareholder and will call for a board meeting to dismiss everyone who participated in the secret meeting. She stalks out of the room, leaving Jae Wan behind. Jae Wan glares at Baek Mi Nyeo and follows Mo Ne out. Mo Ne is standing outside, unmoving. Chae Kyung comes in time to see Mo Ne and Jae Wan's expressions. She says she won't comment on anything but both Jae Wan and Mo Ne were really late to figure this was going to happen. She goes off.

Hotel King: Episode 18 Recap

Jae Wan recalls Mo Ne's words of love to him - I love you, I know what kind of person you are, Will you marry me, I'll protect you for the rest of your life, etc. Then comes her parting words - let's not see each other again. He looks at the sea, eyes filled with pain, heart breaking into many pieces.

Hotel King: Episode 17 Recap

We're back to where the story left off last episode. Jae Wan is taking the news of Roman and Director Baek's relationship much more negatively than Mo Ne. Mo Ne seems rather glad to be told of it, while Jae Wan thinks their revelation came a little too suspiciously late. He tries to corner both mother and son, but Director Baek manages to squash all his questions. Mo Ne also doesn't realise what is going on in Jae Wan's mind because she tries to diffuse the situation. Director Baek turns the whole situation around. She asks Jae Wan if he is on Mo Ne's side, implying that she and Roman are both behind Mo Ne.

Thoughts: Hotel King Episode 16

The episode picks up from the last scene when Lee Jung Gu's true character is revealed to the world. Jae Wan makes sure that all the reporters write about the fiasco, and Soo An is pretty supportive of Jae Wan's actions. I'm guessing, out of Jae Wan's hoobaes, only Soo An knows what's really going on between Jae Wan and the VP since Jae Wan didn't tell Yoo Joon Sung (Alex's character) about his real intentions. Chae Kyung is another person who knows about it since she used her connections in the media industry to make sure the event gets written about exactly as it happened.

Hotel King: Episode 15 Review

The start of Mo Ne v2.0. She begins on her crusade to glory, fighting a losing battle with Jae Wan and the VP. Okay, perhaps a losing battle with Jae Wan since he's on the same side as her.

Mo Ne spits on VP's face and calls him a murderer. She also plays the recording Director Baek gave her, which Jae Wan destroyed immediately. It is obvious Mo Ne lost her trust in Jae Wan in this episode because he admitted to all the things which VP said he had done to Chairman Ah. However, our dear hero didn't tell his lady love it was all because he was conned into believing he was Chairman Ah's son. Instead, he says he targetted Mo Ne's dad for fun. Really? What a way to break someone's heart, babe. Despite Jae Wan's "crimes", Mo Ne still protects him from VP's stick-bashing.

Hotel King: Episode 14 Review

I was a little disappointed Mo Ne was hankering after Jae Wan, though she was also trying to get the plans for the culture park moving. I guess she still needed some time to adjust to his cold attitude and not just superficially understand he doesn't want to have anything to do with her. But to fully absorb it. She doesn't absorb it right to the end until she realises there's more to Jae Wan than she knows.

Hotel King: Episode 13 Recap

Mo Ne is still reeling from the shock at Jae Wan's cold attitude. She takes out her phone and looks at his contact (saved as 'my right hand'). She's about to press the call button when Soo An walks in to tell her it's time to attend the meeting with the board of directors. Mo Ne is uneasy about it but she heads off.

Jae Wan and VP are also walking to the meeting room. VP tells Jae Wan he can't trust Jae Wan fully yet because he thinks there's a chance Jae Wan might run back to Mo Ne's side. Jae Wan is completely void of emotions while VP is talking. I'd say VP looks really happy to have his most hated General Manager by his side. The way he swung his stick in joy makes me cringe. As if he's ready to get a-wacking once more.

Hotel King: Episode 13 Written Preview

This is a rough translation of the written preview. I guess it gives a rough idea of what to expect.

Mo Ne is confused by Jae Wan's face that turned cold. The hotel board of directors are doubtful of Mo Ne's abilities, and Mi Nyeo defends her when she's asked about the series of events that happened. Jung Gu tells Jae Wan his plans to build a casino in Hotel Ciel after Jae Wan returns, but on the other hand, he's worried by how Da Bae is slowly getting closer to Jae Wan. Mo Ne noticed Jae Wan is hiding something, and, meanwhile, Roman Lee (not sure why a Korean person has such a name) has come looking for Hotel Ciel.
