Have you watched this? Do you plan to?

This is a drama that like Sandglass, seems to be one of those that rejuvenated the Kdrama world in 2001 when it aired. It has had high critical praise in Korea and people loved it at the time. The ratings were huge. I haven't ever watched this but it stars Song Hye Go and Bae Yong Jun (before he became more famous for plastic surgery than his acting) Please see the MDL Link above for Stats, recommendations and reviews.

Recommend to see this epic Korean drama! I love this drama, the cast, the story, the OST, the unforgettable moments. Love seeing the 2 sets of love story & their struggle in work place. The Korean is great. The Japanese version is not so great. This Drama i rate it 10 (^_^)b

It's more on romance. I quite like this whole drama. This drama in hotel setting, yes the preliminary eps are in Las Vegas, it's just introduction story. The main story is in Korean Hotel.
I ♥ ❤ ❥ the love stories \(｡◕‿◕｡)/
If some of you wanna see Bae Yong Joon's great muscle & his butterfly stroke, here in this drama.

Perhaps you were watching while in heavily tired mood City ㅋㅋㅋ :p

It's on my list. :D I might get around to it.
