Hotel King Episode 10

Finally a taste of the truth.

This episode cleared Jae Wan's relationship with the dead chairman. We have finally found out that he and Mo Ne are not siblings, and that the DNA test the VP gave to him before flying to Korea was probably fake. I feel like a burden on my heart has been lifted. I am grateful the fauxcest part should be over with the confirmations at the end of this episode... I guess???

Now I am curious as to how they will handle CJW and AMN's relationship. Jae Wan is in more danger. Not only because of the VP, but because he also did some illegal things that may led him to jail (no idea what other than specifically give Chairman Ah clams when he was allergic).

For how I see things are going, to protect the hotel and AMN, Jae Wan will leave at some point, that's why he is training Mo Ne right now. He wants her to succeed. Even though he was obsessed with the hotel in the past, I can see his major focus at the moment is the chairwoman's safety more than the hotel itself. I don't know, but now that CJW found he is not the chairman's son, he may feel like his whole revenge plot is for nothing. He basically did all he did before AMN came into the picture so that the chairman would die. He must feel betrayed and sort of guilty even though he did not kill him. And didn't he become general manager to show his supposed father how good he was at doing the same job he did? It's possible CJW's true path is not the one of the hotelier despite he is very good at this job. He may be living someone else's dream (for eg, the VP's dream). We'll see.

AMN is a doll into the other shareholders' hands, but CJW is a puppet too. I am more than convinced that the dirty VP took CJW under his wing purely to destroy chairman Ah for a matter of love and power. He chose CJW because he had no ties since he was an orphan, and made of himself what he wanted... he gave CJW everything but asked for his emotions in return. And he did so because he believed that a man with no feelings would be able to pull off what he couldn't do...

Ahhhh, I have a lot of thoughts that would be hard to elaborate at the moment. The plot is going very fast for a long drama like this. I wonder what plans do they have for everything. Now that the paternity issue seems to be resolved, however, I am super anxious as to whether or not they will drag AMN and CJW's love story. These last two episodes had a LOT of angst between them and I am more than happy to see them grow closer. I am in love with this OTP... I think every week the actors show how much chemistry they have together and make this plot believable even if it's a little twisted and weird in some parts.
