Hotel King Episode 3

Keeps getting better

I really really really like this drama. It has a great potential and that je-ne-sais-quoi storyline that keeps you on your toes. Most of what happened this episode was unexpected. I didn't think they would show via the CCTV who was the one who tried to kill Mo Nae.

I believe the bossy co-chairman is trying to push Jae Won towards Mo Nae to use him like a puppet. He triggered his will to succeed through revenge. He is already a puppet somehow, and he instructed him well through all these years so that he would see no other thing but revenge and would be motivated to make Hotel Ciel the best. I also think he is keeping JW a secret... that he isn't the son of the dead chairman and then he isn't Mo Nae's brother either. I don't know, I felt it when he watched the CCTV and said something about keeping an eye on them... that bossy man scares me but hey, that actor always does roles like that. LOL.

If my theory is correct, Jae Won will slowly come to like and possibly love (like the synopsis says) Mo Nae despite he believes she's his sister. Like, he will start to feel that there is something wrong between them, an attraction that shouldn't exist between brother and sister. And he will change his attitude a-la-Lord Voldemort. lol.

The real brother, in my opinion, is Woo Hyun. He cares deeply for Mo Nae and the dead chairman and because of his kind nature, he treats her well. It's possibly the bossy co-chairman knows this and didn't "use" Woo Hyun for his goals because he didn't think he would be cold and reckless like Jae Wan... hence, he wouldn't make him reach what he wants. A part of my mind thinks Jae Wan is truthfully, bossy co-chairman's son.

The only thing that I ask myself, is how are they gonna keep this up for 32 episodes???!!!

We'll see.

Curiouser and Curiouser

So, I honestly don't know how I feel about this show, especially the leading lady. The acting is great, but her character just confuses the heck out of me. We know she loves her dad, and this episode helps cement both that and how much her dad loves her, but why does she seem to be going out of her way to bring the hotel a bad name?

Besides that, the plot keeps moving right along. Which makes me wonder: how is this going to last 30 episodes? So far, we have the bloodline plot, and the "who is trying to kill lady" plot, but at least one of those questions was SOMEWHAT answered in this episode. And it looks like we're going to be delving even more into the other plot in episode 4... so what is left? I'm expecting a couple twists and turns!

Also, I'm really, REALLY curious who ajhussi's henchman is! The one who keeps calling him and keeps him informed about how lady and Jayden are doing... I'm guessing he is also the one that was with lady (I like calling her lady more than Mo Nae) during her little accident.

Oh, and I love how the love lines seem to be Jayden + the widow and lady + Woo Hyun! For once, the two leads aren't falling madly and deeply in love with each other! Feels very refreshing to me ^^
