Hotel King

5/10 is my rating. This is a 2014 South Korean revenge, mystery romance drama with 32, 60 minute episodes.

First I provide a unique synopsis then review. I provide a synopsis as some synopsis do not provide enough information to decide to watch or not. If not interested in Synopsis, review is labeled just scroll down.

Synopsis

Ah Mo-ne/Bok-SoonMo-ne (Lee Da-hae) is ill equipped to manage South Korea’s only 7 star hotel when it falls into her lap as the heiress. Lucky for her it comes with a general manager, Cha Jae-wan (Lee Dong wook) who was raised to excel as a hotel manager.He helps Mo-ne while fulfilling his main goal which is to seek revenge on his wealthy father who abondened him to poverty. Little is as it seems in the high stakes world of elite hotels.

Review

My rating is only on the 1st episode as I was not interested enough to watch any more. It is often harder to watch those more than a decade old because the themes and culture have just moved on. I had watched over 300 dramas when I tried this one. Maybe if I had seen this earlier in my drama watching I could have stuck with it but I am jaded. Watched too many great ones that grab you from the beginning.
