Hotel King Episode 9

As usual I'm not disappointed

Like I've said in the title, I am not disappointed. As makjang as it may appear, I am loving it this drama. They added more spice by introducing Jae Wan's previous superior when he was in Las Vegas. We still don't know much about CJW, I hope this character will help us unveil more of his complex personality (IF his informations are correct, of course). Plus they also "rekindled" CJW's relationship with the VP so I expect him to be punished because he will think he put the recorded file on his laptop at the end of the episode (which I don't think he did since Manager Baek has these files as we saw last ep).

CJW and AMN's relationship is progressing as I expected. They've completely fallen for each other although Jae Wan doesn't want to admit it... he still believes they are siblings after all. Remember what Manager Baek said to Mo Ne on ep 2 (if I recall)? "Remember you are your father's only daughter." Since we found out she eavesdrop on conversations, I believe she also overheard CJW and the VP talk about him and AMN being siblings. I am not sure how she knows that is not the truth, but it's possible the manager is someone who's had history with the previous chairman and aware of the facts. I also debated whether or not she may be related to AMN. What happened to Mo Ne's mother? They've never mentioned her. What if she is an aunt or something? This is just pure speculation.

Getting back to CJW and AMN's relationship, I expected these "progresses" but I did not expect what she tells him at the end of the episode. I know she meant it. But for a 32 episodes drama, isn't that too early? Maybe they are planning to have her confess then get rejected and create this angsty and tense relationship until the truth about their relationship will be revealed on what, episode 16 probably. Sigh, tho... I really want to see their relationship grow and develop even after they might get together. They have plenty of episodes to do that and it would be sad to waste LDW and LDH's chemistry.
