TUESDAY UPDATE ON HOTEL KING EPISODE 1
Episode 1
Its 1991 somewhere and English is spoken. Children are begging on the streets. Two of them are Korean. Their leader demands the money they collected and slaps when there isn’t enough. Jayden protects his younger brother Ji Won. But Ji Won is dragged away and beaten to death with a metal pipe and Jayden is bruised up with kicks. Jayden takes a wooden stick to go against Ji Won’s killer, but that guy takes out a gun. First pointing it at Jayden then on Ji Won. A shot is heard and blood is seen, it’s not of the brothers, but the attackers and Jayden is holding the gun. How that happened don’t ask me. A door opens and a suited, booted man stands with a walking stick.
Jayden wakes up to some lavish room. The first thing he sees is the painting of angels. He thinks he died and went to heaven. His rescuer Joong Goo says that indeed this is heaven. Police car’s siren makes Jayden jump literally and he tries to run away but in vain. Joong Goo tells him that people are looking for him and if he gets caught either he will be sent to jail or back to his life. Jayden says that killing that man wasn’t his fault. Joong Goo says true indeed it is not. It’s all Jayden s fathers fault; Ah Seoung Won the chairman of Ciel hotel. He is an evil guy who threw his child. Joong Goo proposes a deal with Jayden, take his hand and he will make sure Jayden becomes the king or go back where he came from. Jayden washes up and a feast awaits him. He has taken affection to a painting of an angel or is it a mother and a child?
This was Jayden 11 years old. He changed his name to Cha Jae Wan and now he is the general manager of the Ciel hotel. Jae Wan gets ready for the day his room has his credits framed. He still has the painting he took the liking for as a kid.
Sun Woo Hyun and his partner greet the chairman. Hmm are they bellhops? Chairman? As in Jayden’s father? For some reason the chairman is nervous and panicky. Jae Wan watches him in this miserable state and thinks back to a speech he gave about making Ciel hotel into the best hotels.
God knows what Jae Won has done because the chairman accuses him of betrayal and asks if he approached on purpose to which Jae Wan says yes. He wanted to meet the chairman who has abandoned his kid and his mother who died. Chairman says no, his mother didn’t die because of him and he is not his son. –great do a DNA test, what is with the yelling? Jae Wan gives him time to think and says if he didn’t accept him, he will let everyone know that he is the son of the chairman who is a murderer.
Party time- some new thing launched and everyone is having fun. The chairman calls someone and apologizes, saying sorry my child. Someone creeps behind him. In the pool where the party is still in motion the most awaited thing happens the ceiling will open, but instead a body comes crashing down which is indeed chairman’s.
Jae wan meets Joong Goo and he freaking throws his walking stick like it’s a dart. Jae Wan dodges it and the stick hit the poor cat, the original target. Joong Goo doesn’t like cats because they sneak around when they are only fit for rummaging through trash. Hmm the metaphor. He gets angry at Jae Wan for telling the president. Joong Goo informs that Ah Mo Ne his sister, chairman’s daughter is coming. Chairman’s estate and shares have already been given to her. Jae wan says he won’t give the hotel to anyone. Joong Goo gives him a watch that the chairman was wearing. It’s a family watch. Jae Wan sits in front of his favorite painting as he sees his younger self admiring the picture and the days happening, how his father rejected him plays once again in his mind. He says was acknowledging him as his son was so difficult that he decided to finish his life. He says he will show his father how higher he can go.
Chairman’s death has its consequences. Customers cancel their reservations and stuff. Chairman’s funeral day- Joong Go goes all in for fake crying and stuff. Oh, did I mention Joong Goo is the vice chairman of the Ciel hotel. Whatever the rest of the people are, manager’s stock holder’s or dear friends rants about Ah Mo Ne for not attending her father’s funeral.
Jae Won is with funny guy from Inspiring Generation. He is Jang Ho Ill manager of the guest rooms. Jae Wan is a man of few words and no nonsense kind of man. Soon the atmosphere becomes awkward. Ho Ill turns on the radio and instead of music there is news about the snow storm and how the people are stuck at the airport. Jae Wan suddenly steps on the break takes out his cell phone and bark instructions to get to the airport. Ho Ill asks what is going on. Jae Wan answers we are having customers. Jae Wan tells the staff to look after the guests and behave like nothing has happened. Woo Hyun is sadder than anyone else. Jae Wan tells him to quit if he isn’t par with the work.
Joong Goo gets the news of Mo Ne coming from the sea. He tells his driver to tune in the radio, but gets upset when the news is about Ciel hotel and Mo Ne. The driver changes the channel and the music blazes to which Joong Do likes and taps his foot to it. hmmm
Ah Mo Ne is busy barfing, she is on a ship. Wearing a scarf on her head, trying to hide her identity. Some people are searching for her on the port and she uses the same scarf as a veil and tries to run away ,but soon gets cornered but in the end somehow runs away.
Baek Mi Nyeo is on her rounds. She is the manager for the trainees, a strict old lady who always has a stick in her hand. She hears the commotion in one of the rooms. Where a maid accuses the customer for sexual harassment. She sees no problem with the maid. Mi Nyeo puts up her leg and takes his hand and touches her leg saying she is seducing him. The guy apologizes.
Everyone comes out to meet the vice chairman as he arrives at the Ciel Hotel. Joong Goo tells Jae Wan that Mo Ne has come from the sea port. Ah Mo Ne comes to Ciel hotel, but demands that she would walk on a red carpet or else she won’t budge. Her demand is granted. The reception desk presses a button and all the staff is notified that a JS has come. JS = Jin Sang aka terrible customer. Mo Ne reveals herself as the heiress to the hotel. She happily greets Joong Goo. She tells him about the people chasing after her. Jae Wan asks her if she isn’t sad after all her father just died. She says she never was close to her dad. She stops at a painting Sun Woo says the chairman cherished it a lot. – hmm did she draw it?- Sun Woo takes elevator with Mo Ne to her room. Her behavior again puts her in the same position when he asks her about the chairman. She has her back to Woo Hyun and he thinks she is crying and apologies but instead it’s her lens that came off. She takes a lipstick in her hand and marks some stuff to be changed.
Jae Wan read Mo Ne’s file. He meets with Joong Go and they make a plan in which Mo Ne will leave on her own. Mo Ne has a dream someone is chasing her, she hides in a room. She wakes up and thinks about the call her father made. Oh, so it was her, he called and apologized. He tells her one thing, not to trust anyone. She remembers everyone’s behavior. She doesn’t believe that her father committed suicide.
The new day begins with some horrendous happenings. Chairman’s voice is heard through the speakers and they can’t seem to turn off the system. He dashes into Mo Ne’s room. Where Woo Hyun is stuck with her brattiness. Maids in the chairman’s office quiver in fear because his table is set like it used to be. Jae Wan takes the open file on the table and smudges the signature; pin pointing it was recently signed. Jae Wan and Mo Ne cross the same passage.
