[EP09 Hotel King]
Don't try...
...to be a real human being.
The moment you do...
...you'll lose to me.
From the moment...
...I wanted to be a real human being with a beating heart...
...there was nothing I could do.
I wasn't...
...even able to protect her.
I should have...
...just listened to Lee Jung Ku.
I couldn't believe what I saw...
...but it made me realize...
...that wasn't the first time he was beaten by Lee Jung Ku.
Also.
I can never let him know...
...what I saw.
Are you watching a movie?
What's going on?
Surprise!
I thought you might be hungry this time.
I'm not the kind of person who likes owing favors.
Are you sure this is fit for human consumption?
Yes. It won't kill you.
Try it.
Here.
Is it okay?
Does it taste alright?
It was my first try. Aren't I a natural?
I didn't mean that I wanted to try it too.
Eww, it's too salty.
There was even an egg shell in it.
Don't you have any sense of taste?
God, the salt! That must be really salty.
Are you done? You can leave now.
Fine. I'm leaving now.
It was him, right?
He installed that camera in my house.
I haven't found any evidence yet.
I'm sorry.
But you have reasonable grounds to be suspicious of him.
If you think it's him, then it is.
I'm sure of it.
Thank you.
You saved me again.
I'm outside your house.
If you don't come out, I'm coming in.
She's ruining Jae Wan.
What's going on between you two?
What about you, busy Ms. CEO?
It's awfully late to be visiting a man who lives alone.
I'm here to reprimand the general manager...
...for disappearing after my grand opening.
I'm sorry about my actions this afternoon.
I can't just accept a verbal apology...
...Mr. General Manager.
I'll compensate you for your losses.
Why would you do that, Ms. Chairman?
It was the general manager's mistake.
I'll resolve this with him myself.
If you have business with him...
...then talk to him during business hours at the hotel...
I'll accompany with you to your room since it's late night.
Let's talk on the way.
I'm not done talking.
Please save the rest for the office tomorrow.
You two can talk tomorrow.
Who do you think I am? I'm the chairman.
The night air is still chilly here.
Is it okay to leave her like that?
She's cute when she's jealous.
How can she be so transparent with her feelings?
I told you earlier...
...to a little girl, the knight who risks his life to save her...
...is a dream come true.
Ah Mo Ne...
...looks at you with love.
You must have complaints from your guests.
Please request compensation for any losses.
I invited them for you anyways.
If you want to have Ciel...
...I can make sure you get it.
I don't care what you do at Ciel...
...but don't mess with it.
I couldn't forgive you.
Then what about Ah Mo Ne?
A scandal between the chairman and the general manager...
...is messing with Ciel already.
That doesn't make sense.
The GM can't take off his eyes off the chairman for even a day.
Then he beats up an innocent employee in front of everyone.
- Does that make sense to you? - It was a simple mistake.
A mistake?
What if he did have a knife in his pocket?
Ah, that wouldn't matter to you either...
...since you're the man who'd run into a fire to save her.
Is what you really want Ah Mo Ne...
...or her title?
I don't know. I haven't given it much thought.
I'll give you an answer when I have one. Good night.
What's taking him so long?
He was faster that time he took a business trip to Seoul.
That two-faced woman. She'll never be a help to me.
Actually, she might have feelings for you...
...since she doesn't know who you really are.
Ah Mo Ne...
...looks at you with love.
What's going on? Is he not coming back home?
I shouldn't let them... Oh my God!
Did you see her off?
I waited to say good night since we're neighbors.
Good night!
It must hurt to be moving around like that.
There's nothing I can do for him.
If one moves without knowing...
...his mate is a friend or foe, eventually...
Scores his own goal.
Sung Won liked it here...
...where he could look down on all of Ciel.
A knight knocked down the princess.
I should follow the knight...
...even though I don't know...
...whose side he's on yet.
You can save your life by walking backward.
Checkmate.
I learned a valuable lesson from you this time.
Do you mind...
...if I ask you for more advice in the future?
Anytime.
Until next time.
[Ciel's new chairman confessed her love to the general manager.]
Is it bothering you?
Manager Jang went around the hotel like Manager Baek...
...warning people not to gossip about the chairman's scandal...
...or else they'd get demerits on their performance reviews...
...for spreading false information.
I had to take care of his mess.
You're usually the one gossiping about scandals.
What happened to you?
Stop tramping on my delicate heart with your insensitivity.
I'm currently suffering...
...from my scandal with So Mun Jung...
...so I can't let things like this...
...turn someone else into a victim.
He talked like that the whole time.
Now everyone really does know about his scandal.
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Woo Hyun. Don't ever believe this scandal.
Of course they look like a couple who just started a relationship...
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Regardless...
...she isn't the kind of woman who would betray the hero who saved her.
I'm no hero.
It was the general manager who saved her.
What the hell are you talking about?
Raccoon, if it's too much to ask you to take care of me when I'm old...
...how about taking care of me when I'm middle-aged, huh?
Stop joking about it.
He's suffering now...
...even if he doesn't realize it himself.
I'm suffering more...
...even though I do recognize it.
What's up with their reactions?
Are they all in awe of my beauty or something?
Did you review all of these documents last night?
I'm Ah Mo Ne, the chairman of Ciel.
By the way...
...it was only minor matters that needed my approval.
There wasn't anything about vendors or suppliers.
Those matters are...
...decided arbitrarily by the vice chairman.
The vice chairman?
"Kimchi!"
Kimchi!
One, two, three!
You've actively supported this event for children...
...from low-income families in May every year.
The poet and welfare worker...
...Ms. Yoon Ji Won, is your wife, right?
Yes.
She helps purify my mind.
Actually, she's the one...
...who initially planned this event.
She was very close to Chairman Ah Sung Won.
She was eager to help me with it.
You seem to miss him a lot.
Oh, yes.
I read an interview that said the character Dong Ku...
...in Ms. Yoon's poetry is you.
Honestly, I'm still immature.
I love playing with my dog...
...and I fight with my daughter over food.
I think my wife is making fun of me with that character.
Your innocence must be why you love children so much.
It's also probably why you're so violent.
Hello, Ms. Chairman.
This is one of Ciel's charity events.
I was wondering why the chairman wasn't here.
I assigned this event to the vice chairman...
- ...who's working on his service skills. - Oh, I see.
I have a question I'd like to ask you personally.
I heard you trust GM Cha Jae Wan a great deal.
Is that true?
Yes.
I like him and I trust him very much.
I won't let anybody...
...hurt him.
Mo Ne!
Mr. Lee.
Did you finish your interview already?
You look so nice today.
I didn't interrupt your interview, did I?
Not at all.
I'll never get used to doing them.
I know.
You're getting older now...
...so I worry about you a lot.
I'll take care of everything from now on...
...so you get some rest.
You know I'm the poor chairman...
...who might get kicked out in two months.
Who would dare fire you?
I won't let them do it.
You're my greatest supporter.
That's why I'm telling you this.
No one asked for my approval...
...for either Haemil's grand opening...
...or this charity event.
I don't think that's right.
Your staff aren't doing their jobs well.
You're the only one who approves important decisions.
My staff wasn't able to do much.
That's because...
...I was worried you'd have too much on your shoulders already.
I understand.
I appreciate the thought...
...but I hope it won't happen again.
Whether it's approvals, interviews...
...or staff management...
...I'll take care of it all since I'm the chairman.
I'd like you to watch me from behind...
...like...
...a stout tree.
A tree?
That doesn't sound bad.
I think I've been worrying about you too much.
My dear Mo Ne is all grown up now.
Sure.
I'll support you just like you want.
You're the only one I can trust.
- I'll see you. - Okay.
Is everything alright?
Yes.
You did a good job.
It was more the chairman than me.
She paid for...
...the remodeling expenses out of her own salary.
She said she wanted to take responsibility.
She's maturing now.
That employee... Did he quit?
It's like you're deaf and blind these days.
Manager Baek sent him to Seoul Hotel.
She did it for you.
Manager Baek did?
You'd do...
...whatever you could to protect Ciel, right?
I'm doing the same thing.
Please enjoy your stay at our hotel.
You have a very pleasant voice for a hotelier.
Thank you, sir.
I'll be here for a few days...
...but I haven't been to Korea in a long time...
...so I'm not used to it anymore.
I'll probably be asking for a lot of help...
...so please take good care of me.
Ask us for anything, sir.
Then I'd like to ask you for something now.
I bought the wrong thing and returning it was a hassle.
I don't know what to do with it now since it's for a woman.
[Yoon Da Jung]
Would you take care of it for me, Ms. Yoon Da Jung?
Me?
You can keep it...
...or throw it away.
I'd like you to take care of it for me.
These are limited edition Cartier earrings!
Why would he...
Wow, they're fabulous.
Has your type changed again already?
There are plenty of people in this hotel and plenty of types that suit me.
But that doesn't include you, Mr. Jin Jung Han.
"The hotel industry itself is watching curiously..."
"...the relationship between Ciel's confident..."
"...young chairman Ah Mo Ne..."
"...and the star hotelier, GM Cha Jae Wan..."
"...and wondering if they'll get married."
Lies!
Even among the hotel staffs...
...your scandal with the GM is an open secret.
You should be careful since this is being dealt with swiftly.
Ms. Cha Su Wan, how do you get your job done?
I told you to stop chairman from seeing any reporters.
I'm sorry. I've asked for the article to be corrected.
Calm down. It isn't her fault.
- This swindler-like reporter... - If so...
...does that mean he made up out of nothing?
If so, I'll sue him for slander.
I'm not saying I didn't say anything.
I didn't say it to the reporter, just the vice chairman.
It was really just a word in the middle of the vice chairman's interview.
I don't know why I'm the one that became the real story.
Are you telling me that you actually said it?
Yes.
You've lost your mind.
Why is he so mad about it?
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but...
...the GM is quite famous for being the most capable man in the business.
There are lots of people who look up to him as a role model.
You made him look like...
...a simple and shameless man trying to get ahead through marriage.
This kind of scandal is deadly for him...
...because being trustworthy is his most important virtue.
Are we having an affair?
Why is he suddenly shameless just because he's dating a woman?
- It doesn't make sense. - It does.
It's because that woman is you, Ms. Chairman.
That's...
...absurd.
Have a good time.
Thank you.
I don't know how many allergies he has but...
...he's requested a bedding change seven times...
...his dining five times and his room four times.
He's still complaining, too.
I'm sure he's just being difficult but he speaks so mildly...
...I don't know what to do. That's why I called you.
There must be something he wants.
A free room upgrade, free minibar use, free facilities use...
Have you tried offering those?
He just said he wants to talk to the general manager in person.
Is the general manager that free?
No, he's a busy man.
His love life is what's keeping him busy these days.
Is the general manager here?
You see...
Hello.
Long time no see.
I heard the four of you came here to work with Cha Jae Wan.
I heard you're have some trouble here.
You've learned Cha Jae Wan's arrogance.
Since you know who I am now, bring him to me.
I was his boss once.
Tell him to come say hello as a courtesy.
Okay.
Mr. General Manager.
What's going on?
Lay Kim is here to see you.
When?
It has been almost six hours since he checked in.
He's been making complaints ever since.
I think he was doing it to get to see you somehow.
Do you want me to take care of him?
- If you just tell me to... - No.
I'll do it.
I heard you wanted to see me, sir.
Pretending you don't know me?
It's understandable.
Considering you're so talented you can trample on your superiors.
Please tell me why you wanted to see me first.
I didn't know you were aiming this high.
When the chairman...
...Ah Sung Won came to Las Vegas two years ago...
...you fabricated some cheap scenario to approach him.
Does your fiancée know about that?
I won't drag you out since you're a paying guest at this hotel...
...but please make sure your stay is peaceful.
See you again.
I'm sick of him.
He's been following Jae Wan to harass him...
...since Jae Wan was in the States.
He thinks that Jae Wan ruined his life...
...by becoming GM before he did.
No way. I can't believe it.
It's because he got caught with taking a kickback.
How is that Jae Wan's fault?
Because he thinks Jae Wan is the one who ratted him out.
It's really because he feels inferior to Jae Wan.
Jae Wan was better than Kim even when Kim was his boss.
Jae Wan will be alright, right?
When the chairman Ah Sung Won came to Las Vegas two years ago...
...you fabricated some cheap scenario to approach him.
Does your fiancée know about that?
[2 Years Ago]
Oh.
Hello.
Okay.
I appreciate your service the last couple of days.
I've been to hotels around the world...
...but I've never experienced this level of service.
Thank you for the compliment.
You said you frequent many hotels.
Would you mind if I asked...
...what kind of business you're in?
I'm have a small business in the service industry.
By the way, your boss is a lucky man.
It feels great to have highly capable employees like you.
Next time...
...I come here...
...I'll bring...
...my daughter.
Don't you...
...like the food?
It's... It's...
...great.
Are you okay?
I'm...
Clams...
...allergic to clams.
You need to get your father...
...Chairman Ah, in the palm of your hand.
This will be your only chance.
I'm so sorry.
I should have asked about your allergies beforehand.
No.
If it weren't for you, I'd...
You saved me.
Not really.
I have the same allergy, so I always carry the medicine on me.
I was just lucky.
Thank you.
I...
...want to meet you again.
I can't trust anyone else.
I want you.
I want you to protect me...
...just like you have been.
I...
...trust you.
I told you...
...not to trust me.
Hello! I respect you.
It's hard to walk in heels.
Ah, excuse me.
Can you tell me where the country club is?
Go that way for two hundred meters and turn right.
There's a cart there that will take you to it.
Just like I heard, you're beautiful and kind too.
I understand why Jae Wan talks about you like that.
Jae Wan?
Do you mean the general manager?
I'm sorry for not introducing myself.
I'm Lay Kim.
I was the general manager at the hotel in Vegas where Jae Wan used to work.
Oh, of course. It's nice to meet you.
Did the general manager really say that about me?
Of course.
I've heard plenty about you...
...so I feel like I already know you quite well.
How incredible.
You mean he was honest about his feelings...
...and didn't pretend to be upset or cold when he was with you?
Why...
...don't we have dinner together tomorrow?
I'd like to treat you.
Sure. Thank you for the invitation.
Ms. Chairman.
You shouldn't disappear on me like this.
Cha Su Wan. It's been a while.
There are some documents that need your immediate attention.
Okay. We can go soon.
Please call me sometime.
Don't you hate Cha Jae Wan?
- If it weren't for him, you'd be... - Please tell me first...
...the next time you want to see the chairman.
How dare you being so cocky with me?
This will be the last time I let you talk to me like that either.
You know I'm trained in the martial arts.
Hey, widow.
Where are you going?
That's not how you usually greet me.
Does it make you feel better...
...because you think I'm not your rival?
This is my hotel.
Is there something wrong with calling a widow a widow?
You may not know this, but...
...a beautiful and rich widow...
...is more attractive to a man.
Sure sounds better than two-faced, doesn't it?
You asked me my relationship with Cha Jae Wan earlier, right?
You said you went to school together.
Was there anything else to it?
We went to school in a foreign city where there weren't many Koreans.
That's where a beautiful woman and a handsome man met.
What do you think our relationship was like?
Well?
You look so naive I can't tell you. I'm worried it'd be a shock to you.
You!
Hey, two-faced woman.
Finish talking before you leave.
Hey, two-faced woman!
Take care of your scandal first. Then I'll tell you.
I can't let you leave a blot on Cha Jae Wan's career.
Is anyone here?
If there is, I'll leave.
I'm only here for one reason.
I came here for the truth in the name of social justice.
I didn't come because I'm curious.
Right, Jang Ho Il?
Yes!
Who is the most handsome man in this hotel?
Jang Ho Il!
Who's the ugliest person in this hotel?
So Mun Jung!
Who's the most mysterious?
The gray-haired witch!
Who's the most hateful and scary?
Jung Ku!
And who's the person I want to fire the most?
So Mun Jung!
[So Mun Jung]
Oh God.
Why would she kiss my picture after she's undressed like that?
It's hot.
Well, I have my evidence now.
She lied when she said I wasn't Mr. B.
I've got you now!
When did she take my picture and put it in there?
Oh my God! Oh my God!
Ugh!
Manager Jang!
Are you hugging Mun Jung's locker?
You're such a pervert!
- I'm disappointed in you! - You're wrong.
It would take too long to explain why I'm here.
You're wrong about me.
You're wrong about me! You're wrong...
What should I do?
Hello.
Do you know a painter who uses this style?
No, I don't recognize it.
Do you want a portrait?
Please have a seat.
Oh,no.
I was wondering if you knew a painter who used this style.
If they're not famous, it'll be hard to recognize a painter by style.
Let me see.
This is a replica.
Do you recognize it?
Was this Kim's painting?
Look here.
The brush strokes only go this way.
Kim is left-handed.
Painter Kim?
Do you know where I can find him by any chance?
He doesn't come out here often recently.
When he does, it's usually on the weekends.
Do you know where he lives?
I don't.
Okay, thank you.
[General Manager]
It's time for him to come home.
Oh, Mr. General Manager!
Are you still mad at me because of that article?
We can just make the rumors true.
- True? - Go out with me.
What I mean...
...is that if people spread rumors when nothing's happening...
...we can actually make it happen and make them stop talking.
Frankly speaking, both of us are single...
...and it's not like we're related.
Let's turn a scandal into a romance.
What do you think? I'm smart, right?
I'm not saying all this because I want to date you.
I know it hurt you, so...
I'm not saying we should really date.
If we just act like it...
...then I might be able to...
...protect you from other people.
I'd never do it.
Why...
...do you dislike me so much?
Which part of me don't you like?
Your hair, eyes, nose, lips...
- ...voice... - That's enough.
You're saying that you hate all of me.
If you understand, then go back to your house...
...and don't come here again without my permission.
Hey, hey! I don't like you either.
You're really funny.
I heard how you talk about me.
Isn't he just pretending to dislike me?
Go away! Go away!
You're a ghost!
[Ah Mo Ne]
You're here.
What are you doing?
You told me to call you if anything happened to me.
I was lying on my bed and then there was a giant mosquito.
I told you I hate everything with wings.
You took exactly fifty two seconds.
Isn't that a little fast to save a woman...
...you hate from head to toe?
Why are you avoiding me?
Are you afraid of that people talk too much?
My kindness...
...only comes from guilt about the former Chairman Ah.
I'll tell you one more time.
I don't like Ah Mo Ne as a woman.
Even if you were the only woman in this world...
...I'd never want you.
Then what should I do now?
Whenever I see you...
...my heart hurts.
Whenever I see you...
...I can't help crying.
I'll speak frankly since we're in private.
I called you to ask you a favor, Mr. Sun Woo Hyun.
This is all information on Mr. Lay Kim, the guest in room 607.
It includes his hobbies, likes and other things.
He'll be very difficult to deal with.
Can you serve him well?
He isn't a typical nightmare guest.
He used to by my boss, so I shouldn't be seeing him.
Okay.
You said this is a favor, not an order, right?
Then let me ask one in return.
Speak up.
The chairman...
She depends on you a lot.
Please...
...be nice to her.
You grabbed me...
...by the throat because you love her.
I misunderstood you back then...
...and you're misunderstanding me now.
Are you saying that you don't love her now?
She's the chairman.
There isn't a woman you can't love...
...unless she's family.
You're a coward...
...if you run from her like that.
I think that applies to you, too.
When I saw you save her in that fire...
...I saw the truth.
Don't deny it.
Okay.
The guest asked me to throw it away...
...so I did it as he requested.
Now I'm not getting them from him.
I just found them here accidentally.
That's right, I found them.
- Is there money in the trash can? - Oh my God!
You surprised me!
Ms. Yoon Da Jung.
You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
What are you talking about?
Your eyes.
You blink thirteen times every five seconds when you're nervous.
You also twist your left leg like that.
You're ridiculous.
Are you always watching me like that?
It's not my fault.
He asked me to throw them away, so they're mine now.
Did he give them to you without a reason?
He asked some questions about the GM and other staff.
I didn't say anything about you though.
You asked me to choose randomly...
...so I brought you one with a citrus fragrance.
Thank you.
The general manager told you what I like, didn't he?
No, he didn't.
You seem to be a fan of his.
He's very popular man.
What kind of person is the general manager to you...
...Mr. Sun Woo Hyun?
He's highly capable man and provides perfect service to his guests.
Isn't he a man...
...who makes perfect plans in advance for everything?
You don't seem to like the general manager.
Truth is I'm the only one...
...who knows the real Cha Jae Wan.
The staff Cha Jae Wan recruited are ridiculous, aren't they?
They're cocky because they all studied abroad.
It must be hard for you to deal with them as someone...
...who only went to a second-tier school, right?
Who are you?
Me?
I'm just someone who appreciates...
...what a gem you are.
That's why...
...they call him the monster here too.
He'll do whatever it takes.
As the chairman, he's exhausting as an employee.
Jae Wan hasn't changed much.
In the past...
...he accomplished whatever he aimed to do...
...at any cost.
It's lucky...
...you don't have any allergies.
You father visited our hotel...
...in Las Vegas when we worked there.
That's right.
I heard that my father scouted the general manager...
...from a hotel in Las Vegas.
Scouted?
He came to Korea as the GM of Palace Hotel?
He's trying to steal our employees by provoking you.
It seems he's already approached quite a few people.
He came here to steal my employees.
That's so like Lay.
Hello.
What is this about?
The chairman...
...is having dinner with a very serious-looking man.
Is that something you'd want to know?
Ah Mo Ne just left.
Oh, hello.
Why don't you join me for dinner?
Your fiancée seemed very surprised...
...when I told her about you.
She left quite suddenly.
What did you tell her? Tell me exactly.
I didn't say much.
I just told her you're so capable...
...you can walk all over your superiors.
What else did I tell her?
What was it?
I said something.
Ah, is that what it was?
Ah!
I told her what happened with her father...
...in Las Vegas.
I'm wondering why Cha Jae Wan came to Ciel...
...by taking such a risk.
You're an alley cat...
...even though you don't steal anything...
...and only eat what I give you.
It's because that's how people think of you.
It's unfair to you, isn't it?
Hello, Mr. General Manager.
Is she going somewhere?
She is going to see the summer sightseeing tours.
You don't have to visit in person.
Ah...
...but I feel more comfortable doing it rather than thinking about it.
I'll make sure my visit is quiet. You don't need to worry about me.
See you.
Take good care of the chairman.
Okay.
I prepared the documents you need to review on the way.
Explain it all to me.
This May, there's an increased number of tourist in the area...
...because of all the themed tours and Golden Week.
Despite that, we have cancellations and fewer new reservations...
...due to recent incidents and rumors about our hotel.
We need a partnership with local authorities to promote...
A solitary pine tree at an altitude of 850 yards...
...is the radial center of these twelve blocks.
We have space to store time capsules in each block.
Above that, we're under construction.
We already know that the chairman is immature, but...
...now the general manager has gotten involved in her trouble.
It's a shame.
He was difficult to control before this...
...and now he has her support.
They're still young.
I understand them.
Whether it's good or not, they're still our family.
Let's be more generous with them and just watch for now.
Get back to your work now.
I'll speak...
...with the general manager privately.
See you later.
I gave a sick patient medicine.
How does that make me guilty?
You're the one who made him sick!
Eventually...
...you drove him crazy...
...so nothing would even be found in his autopsy.
How can this be?
You aren't the one who pushed him...
...but you still killed him.
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
Even if...
...what you're saying is true...
...you'll never get away from me.
Cha Jae Wan!
She said she went to get coffee. How far did she go?
Ow, it hurts.
A team leader can order the general manager...
...to get coffee these days?
Yes, if it's necessary.
Cha Su Wan, you spy.
Cha Jae Wan? Cha Su Wan?
Your height and mannerisms are similar.
Are you a siblings?
No.
I thought so.
Don't you...
...have anything else you want to ask me?
Don't you?
Do you know that these are for time capsules?
Yes.
Have you ever done such a thing before?
I don't like making promises.
That sounds like you.
Anything else you want to ask me?
Yes, there is.
There's something I want to...
...ask.
Can I...
...trust you?
Let's go.
I'll accompany you.
- Hello? - Come to me right away.
Okay.
I'll be there soon.
Don't go.
You're going to Jung Ku, right?
Don't go.
You'll...
...get hurt.
I hate it when you get hurt...
...so...
...don't go to him again.
I'll...
...protect you.
I love you.
[Preview]
What are you doing?
I'll reveal who Cha Jae Wan really is to everyone!
He's lying to you guys.
I shouldn't have come here.
I shouldn't have seen it.
It's all because of you.
Can't you apologize to me?
The person you just kissed wasn't me.
The person I'm kissing now has to be you.
It has to be you!
