Storyline

When President Choi (Joo Hyun), hotelier of Seoul Hotel, dies from a heart attack, his wife Yoon Bong-sook (Youn Yuh-jung) takes over him. Madam Yoon sends Seo Jin-young (Song Yoon-ah) to America to try to re-hire Seoul Hotel's former manager Han Tae-jun (Kim Seung-woo).

Kim Bok-man (Han Jin-hee), chairman of Hankang distribution has been trying to take over Seoul Hotel. Bok-man hires Korean-American Frank Shin aka Shin Dong-hyuk (Bae Yong-joon), a reknown mergers and acquisitions specialist. 

Frank rejects Chairman Kim's offer at first but changes his mind when he runs into Jin-young in America. When Frank is in Seoul Hotel, he is met with a competent Tae-jun. Both Frank and Tae-jun are in love with Jin-young.

Frank is put in a dilemma when he realises that Tae-jun has been taking care of Jenny (Frank's long-lost sister) in America.

My View

Frank is just a pitiful lonely man who desires to have some love in his life.

My first Bae Yong-joon's drama and he is definitely charming!

Rating

4/5 Stars
