Romance with a little bit of mystery
LIKEHow Hae Young and Sung Gyum competed with each other
I enjoyed watching the lovely dovey Hae Young and Sang Hyo
The mystery lies within the hotel itself
DISLIKE
Probably the annoying Soo Ah
MUSIC
Secret - Yoon Sung Ki (ft. Lee Soo Ri)
REWATCH VALUE

Great love triangle!
I'm not sure why this show has so many negative reviews. If you like an angsty love triangle, then this is a great show. Yes, the story is a bit unbelievable, but the chemistry between the actors and the angst makes up for it. The love triangle lasts almost the entire show, and the way that the ML looks at the FL makes my heart melt. Such believable acting and chemistry between the two leads! I was expecting a terrible show based on the reviews and I ended up being addicted and finished it quickly.I will say that I was not as interested in the mystery portion, so I cannot speak to that part of the show, but if you are looking for a great love triangle, this is a good one.
The music was above average as well, and the sets and clothing were all modern and tasteful. Really, just a good watch!

I really looked forward to this drama, great cast, the lead male Jin Yi Han, so cute, loved him in FAMILY IS COMING. Lead female, Yoo In Na, Loved her in SECRET GARDEN. However, together in this drama, there was no chemistry what so ever. I was also very bored with the storyline from the beginning.
Will try and go back to it at a later time and give it another go

Immature Female Lead
I had to write this review ( ok, It’s a bit of a rant). Don’t get me wrong, I love Yoo In Na. But her character in this drama is driving me up the wall. She is supposed to be the head of the Wedding Dept. at Secret Hotel, yet I find her to be childish and extremely indecisive. She keeps wobbling back & forth between the two male leads. She tells one lead she likes him & wants to be with him. She then tells the other ML that she wants nothing to do with him, but then cuddles with him, etc. I feel bad for both men.I feel the writer could have written her with a bit more maturity.

Everything was promising at the start and it had a very nice mystery feel to it..but the writers ruin it, idk even know how they could end it so bad?! There is nothing really romantic... and this character Koo Hae Young crossed the line wayy to much, his behavior was not as clingy or childish as disturbing at times. He had zero respect towards the female lead. This is the first time acharacter has made me angry.. I legit wanted to punch him... and even the female lead too. Like, if someone's ex acted that way even an idiot would call the police on him. His actions are not acceptable.. at all.
I finished this drama only because of Nam Goong Min.. :(

REALLY good
I really loved this drama! Both times that I watched it.The story I find is really good (contrary to what a lot of people think), I even find the repetitiveness more heartfelt with each repeat. It's a lovely story and I don't find the love triangle annoying whatsoever.
There was a plot twist about who was behind the killings. which is always kind of nice.
I wouldn't download the drama's OST, but it fit the mood of the story.
Overall, I would definitely recommend watching the drama, I really enjoyed it!

boring drama with 3 problematic main characters. didn't abandoned bc of the mystery
i couldn't stand the romance scenes at all. i skipped almost all the romance scenes after the 11 episode (in fact you don't miss much of the story if you skip the romance scenes between the 3 main characters)There is basically almost none character improvement in any of them until the end: her ex is a childish, manipulative, obsessed and a selfish dude that thinks he owns her; the girl keep lying, making dumb decisions and is basically "um pau-mandado" (i don't know the term in english but in portuguese basically means someone that can't say no and is always trying to please everyone); the director was the nicer of them but sometimes he could be a bit manipulative too (like there is one part that he use the girl to try to find the necklace).
She and her ex-husband have a really toxic relationship so i never shipped them. In the beginning i shipped her with the director but at some point i couldn't ship her with any of them. i hated the ending (in fact i barely saw the last episode. while skipping between scenes i found with who she end up)
Still never understood why the director's mom was opposed to their relationship. i even thought that could be half brothers but i don't think it was explained (unless i accidentally skipped)
I just didn't abandoned the drama bc of the whole mystery/crime (in fact the detective saved the drama. the only good character). about the whole mystery it kinda a bit meh (could be better) but is not worse than the whole romance plot.

Don't watch if you expect the FL to end up with Namgoong Min!
I watched a small clip of Namgoong Min with Yoo In Na on YouTube and came to watch this series thinking that they'll end up together. BUT DISAPPOINTMENT AWAITED ME!!! Namgoong Min is not the ML!It was so confusing who the FL would end up with until mid of 7th episode. All was well till the 6th episode, and I wanted to see how things would turn out, but in the 7th episode when the bride runs away from her marriage with the ML, the ML asks the FL to become her bride in the very same wedding hall in front of all the employees. The employees pressure her to get married to him so that they don't lose their jobs. Seriously, just because they don't want to lose their jobs, they didn't even care to ask her what is it that she wants, they just decided it for her on their own. Because of peer pressure, she goes to meet the Manager and somehow gets convinced to get married, and they get married. All of this happens when Namgoong Min isn't in the city. Moreover, the FL was the one who asked him to date her and she gets married when he's out of the city without even telling her bf. Seriously, shouldn't you have some basic courtesy of breaking up with your bf, at least over the phone, before you get married to your ex-husband? Somehow this FL, who is a hotel employee, doesn't have this courtesy and is a complete pushover. Like would you ever marry your ex-husband or someone under peer pressure? I understand if it's family pressure coz it would involve some sentimental threats but peer pressure? That seemed to be overboard.
I dropped at the moment she entered the wedding hall in a bridal gown. I just wanted to know how it will end, and as expected, DISAPPOINTMENT. I didn't care what the rest of the story is if it's just going to be a push and pull between an ex-couple. Most of the couples are forced ones and not natural. It's just so artificial.
Don't waste your time, there are better ones out there!
