Hotel King

It's warm.

The door was locked, right?

Hello, Ciel family.

This is Chairman Ah Seong Won.

The biggest reason Ciel was able to grow...

is thanks to our employees who worked hard, even on their day-offs.

is thanks to our employees who worked hard, even on their days-off.

What are you guys doing?

General Manager, I'm not sure if it's a machine error, but it won't turn off.

Contact the machine room immediately, and cut off all speakers.

Okay.

Has anyone else been in here?

No.

You all are Ciel's...

You scared me.

The hotel wall is very sturdy...

Oh boy.

What took you so long?

The service is lousy.

Don't they have sushi in America?

How many times has this been?

Why are you up there with your shoes on?

Have you ever seen a woman fighting barefoot?

What are you doing? Sushi!

Ah...

Salmon.

General Manager, please save me!

It's been 3 hours already!

I don't recall calling you here.

Since you're here, you want to play?

Hit him!

No, thank you.

General Manager, I think you need to go to the Chairman's room.

[Chairman's signature]

They're exactly like how the Chairman left them.

Hobby: Climbing, horseback riding, biking, and leisure sports.

What brings you here?

It was so loud.

What do they mean, saying that my dad has reappeared?

I think someone is trying to play ghost.

What? What crazy guy would do that?

I'm not sure.

I'm going to check on it right now,

even if that means I'll have to replay all the surveillance cameras within the hotel.

If you catch him, bring him to me.

Whoever defamed my father's character...

The entire hotel?

It's strange. All the recorded files prior to 9:00 have been deleted.

Oh, it's strange.

Of all times, why then?

You'll have a hard time finding him. Work hard.

It was installed in the speaker on the 3rd floor corridor.

It got broadcasted throughout all of the floors via the master line.

I think that's why the machine room couldn't control it.

I saw it with my own eyes.

The coffee in the coffee mug...

disappeared all of a sudden.

Also, the pipe had smoke coming out of it,

like puffy clouds!

That's not possible!

That is the doing of a ghost.

The spirit of Chairman Ah that hasn't left here yet...

Miss So Moon Jung!

Spreading of false rumors. Points deducted from your performance evaluation.

Fine, I lose.

I heard your nickname is "white-haired witch."

You're correct about the white hair, but I'm Mi Nyeo (beautiful woman).

You call yourself a beautiful woman?

You have no sense of guilt.

How could you be like that?

You know me, right?

There's no one at Ciel who doesn't know you.

Sure, a beautiful heiress,

it'd be weird not to know me.

Right now, the words that are used to describe you at this hotel are:

JS (Jin Sang = terrible customer), Top of Jin Sang, Bitch, Psycho,

Lunatic, Desperate for Affection, Pervert. Shall I continue?

I've looked into you, too.

White-haired Witch, Femme Fatale, Fetish for Whipping Rods, Cranky Scrooge.

It took me 15 years to get those nicknames, while it only took you 3 days.

You won.

Is that perhaps a joke?

Yes.

You're a hilarious woman.

Was it perhaps...

you who erased it?

Please explain what you want to say, concisely and precisely.

Never mind. It's fine if you don't understand.

Why are you like this, making me all scared?

That's right.

The thing that's really scary is not the CCTV, but a person's eyes.

You can't erase nor manipulate a person's eyes.

What are you saying?

Was it her prank?

Did she do it alone?

All of the CCTV recordings were erased.

She couldn't have done that alone.

She has made an ally already?

She's better than her father.

Just watching and letting an immature daughter cause trouble

isn't something a father should do.

Please let me handle this matter.

Do you think you can do it?

She won't be an easy one to handle.

Yes.

Sure. It won't be too late to discipline her later.

I always have my trust in you,

Jayden.

This is not the time for soft drinks.

We need alcohol.

I'm not drinking. I'm so scared to even go to the restroom.

I think the Chairman will appear in my dreams.

You guys are strange. Why is this scary?

I want to see him, even in my dreams.

Who's the person behind this?

I'm going to catch him no matter what, and I'll be on patrol if I have to.

You get all fired up when we start talking about the Chairman's suicide.

It's not a suicide! It was an accident!

Our Chairman isn't such an irresponsible person!

Team Leader, you always make me repeat myself!

I mean...

Hey! Hey!

Fine, you be the Manager. I'll be the lower rank.

No, I'll be an intern. Geez...

Captain Go, what action am I supposed to take against this sort of inappropriate behavior?

1. Anger, 2. Frustration, 3. Revenge.

If you know he hates it, why do you provoke him?

You did wrong.

I guess it's number 4., Repent.

Hey...

I mean...

Wow, being left alone...

is lonely.

It's one of my 3 bad lucks of the year.

What the heck?

You're not my type. Why do you keep following me around? You're hurting my eyes!

Are you looking for the culprit?

I think I'll be able to find him soon.

What?

I'll be looking forward to hearing good news.

Get... get rid of them for me!

Aish! Get rid of those birds!

Are you afraid of birds?

Who's scared!?

I just hate them!

I hate birds, and I hate anything with wings!

I hate you, too!

We're going to be penalized if we even say a word about the Chairman?

Yes.

I'm sorry, but isn't that too much?

That's right. The person who spread rumors is at fault.

The Chairman did nothing wrong.

I think that as well.

However, the goal of the culprit

is to disturb Ciel by making those rumors spread to our customers.

Something that you casually mention will make you into an accomplice in this matter.

It's just until the rumor quiets down. Please cooperate.

Wow...

Playing deaf for 3 years, mute for 3 years... It's as if we're daughter-in-laws living with their husband's family!

Although we're not set to do this, I guess we'll have to deal with the difficult in-laws! The in-laws!

Perhaps, did you say something?

No way. I don't think you're strategic and

a brave idiot who's lost his mind to have done this.

Will you at least respond?

You're ignoring me again ("chewing my words")!

Fine.

If you're hungry, chew and eat a lot. Okay?

If you're hungry, I'll have to be chewed.

I'm going to crush you someday.

You're worse. Stay still.

Don't do this!

Hey, did you hear?

The General Manager said he'd fire you if you even mentioned Chairman Ah's name.

Geez, what the heck is the Chairman's daughter doing?

I heard she's arrogant and a terrible nuisance.

I heard she's not good at anything.

No wonder why she's been quiet all this while.

Omo, Miss.

Are you shopping?

No, I was just passing by.

Because of some idiotic workers who babbled nonsense,

I was pondering whether I should get rid of this store.

I'm sorry. -Sorry.

Forget it.

Since I'm here already, I think I'll do some shopping.

Pick out a few outfits that would suit me.

Yes.

This store doesn't suit your style, right? I don't think it suits you...

Oh my God! Oh my God, it's terrible!

The problem isn't my figure, it's the style here that's crappy.

What the heck is this? You're not charging money for this, are you?

It is 7,500,000 won.

Wow! That's a rip-off!

Of course! I knew this would look good on you, Madam!

Due to it's simple design, unless you're born with elegance,

it could look a bit drab.

Thank you. I like it.

Wow, this is too awesome. It's like "back to the 90s!"

Who the heck buys this stuff? Let me see their face just once.

I'm sorry, she is the Chairman's daughter.

She's a bit blunt.

That is fine.

It's personal preference, so I respect that.

Totally a fashion terrorist!

Please give me a glass of water.

Yes.

What?

Can you please shut your mouth?

Oh my, what am I going to do?!

It wasn't me. It was this woman.

How could you...

Are you alright? I am very sorry.

I'm a little in shock, but I am alright.

Omo...

Oh, what should we do about these clothes?

I'll take care of it.

What the heck are you doing? You did this!

I...

I must go.

Please send my clothes to my assistant.

Okay. I'm sorry!

You really don't know who she is?

She is Announcer Song Chae Kyung, wife of GR group's Chairman.

I'm Ah Mo Ne.

I said I didn't do this.

Sure, I'll let you argue that.

You wait right there!

Oh.

Hey.

Hey, wait a minute. Stop right there. You aren't going to stop!?

Hey, I... Oh my.

Who are these chunky guys?

You pretentious b*tch!

Oh my.

Let go. Won't you let go?

Oh, really!

Oh, General Manager! Good, you're here.

Please get rid of these chunky guys.

I'm sorry. I will apologize for her.

I'm okay.

Do you know what she did to me?

What the heck is going on between you two?

Don't you see me? Am I invisible?

Hey!

You should be taking my side! Who's side are you...

What are you doing?

I'm changing out the painting.

I mean,

why? It looks good.

As the General Manager, I couldn't just stand by and watch

our sales decline due to spooky rumors.

What does that have to do with that painting?

Whenever the culprit tries to make us recall the Chairman,

I'm going to get rid of any trace of him, one by one.

Okay.

Well, do whatever.

General Manager!

You can't.

That artwork, Chairman Ah... - I'm sure I told you

not to mention anything about him.

Telling us not to speak of him, and now, even taking away the painting that the Chairman cherished...

Why are you doing this?

Hey, stop it.

There are a lot of employees who miss the Chairman.

So... - Assistant Manager Sun Woo Hyun,

you're suspended for 1 week, as I have warned you.

Manager, please think about this one more time.

I will not tolerate any more commotion.

Did you ask for me?

It's been 1 year since the Chairman died

for me to get some fresh air outside.

The wind is very cold.

It's noisy and clamorous, outside the home.

I become a widow in a speedy 6 months time span;

and on top of that, I inherited tens of millions of dollars.

People saying that I drugged him, that I approached him knowing that he was about to die...

The entire nation must be writers. They're really funny.

Isn't that right?

You don't have to look at me like that.

I'm really happy now.

I find it amusing how people talk trash behind my back, but they get nervous when standing in front of me.

Wherever I go, I'm treated like a queen,

and it feels like the world is underneath my feet.

You don't know how this feels, right?

I do know.

Since it's my job to make my customers feel that way.

I came, knowing that you'd be here.

Wow, you don't even blink an eye.

My heart flutters, because seeing you makes me feel I am back in the past, 10 years ago.

Do you even remember me?

Of course, I remember.

That's fine, then.

You just need to remember me. That's enough.

Miss, your food is here.

Miss...

What in the world... There's no snake like her.

Like an anaconda.

For you today, who seems like she got her feelings hurt,

I made this dish, one spoon at a time,

with the mindset of a connoisseur...

What are you doing over there, acting all scary?

I'm training myself.

Ah, yes.

If I don't focus, I might get bit.

In my opinion, I don't think you're someone who'd get bit so easily.

Anyways...

Today, I prepared a delicious dinner

with the mindset of a connoisseur...

Are you telling me to eat in this darkness?

You scared me!

Miss, I'm softhearted more than you think.

If you come onto me like this, it makes me have various thoughts...

Miss, are you okay?

I guess it's because of the darkness. The curtains...

Wow, there's Nanjido (Island that used to be a trash dump) in a suite room.

For our guests, Ciel Hotel is having a special promotion...

What is that?

It's the cinema-screen promotion.

From now on, we'll show movies

and let our customers hold marriage proposal events.

We will be in charge of increasing the population of Korea.

Get out.

Get out?

Get... out?

I said get out. I can't eat because you're too noisy.

Ah, okay. I'll leave quietly, then. Enjoy your meal. If you need anything, call me anytime.

I'll come back quietly, like the wind.

I'll be leaving quietly.

Sorry for making sound with my shoes.

I'm sorry again.

It's because of the trash... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for the last time!

We're available, 24 hours.

Every Thursday, at 7 PM.

A special love-cinema promotion exclusively for Ciel family.

We will be waiting for your reservations.

As I mentioned earlier, at tomorrow's cinema party,

the IOC (International Olympic Committee) leaders will be present.

Their attendance signifies that we will be able to increase our revenue from tourism after the Olympics.

Please be fully prepared.

Yes.

The heart comes before the mind.

I think anyone...

One's life...

I think one's life... One's life is truly...

Cha Jae Wan, things will end for you tomorrow.

Where did it go? Aish...

You're exactly 17 minutes late!

Yoon Da Jung, you gained weight.

No, I didn't!

My uniform disappeared, so I borrowed Mee Hee's.

Sure, whatever.

I'm telling you that's what happened!

Who the heck stole my uniform?

Miss Yoon Da Jung, inappropriate attire. Points deducted from your performance evaluation.

Around 4 PM, they'll be touring the ski slopes.

Please be prepared 30 minutes prior to that to show the movie.

Yes.

Excuse me.

I thought you would have had quite a bit of damage due to Chairman Ah's incident,

but thanks to you and General Manager Cha, it seems like everything's running smoothly.

He's a smart guy,

so even though I try to support him from behind,

I can't keep pace with this youngster!

It'd be perfect if I could introduce him to my daughter,

but she's still a high school student.

Isn't that your favorite movie?

What a delightful coincidence!

Is that so?

It seems like it's General Manager Cha's doing, rather than coincidence. Isn't that so?

I read an interview article on you.

I read that you watched this movie on the first date with your wife.

Your story on how you two got married was interesting, so I wanted to hear more about it over drinks.

Wow, I thought you were a workaholic,

but you had an emotional side.

How could I not like you, when you're this good?

I hope you'll treat us well during the Olympic event, General Manager Cha.

I should be the one asking you that.

I promise that moving forward,

I will expand Ciel worldwide, making it the best hotel.

What is that?!

Where are you going, leaving your seat?

Yoon Da Jung at the front desk said you were looking for me because of a problem with the screen...

If even just one person acts with sincerity towards you, then...

Wait, the highlight is yet to come.

Every moment will be...

Being able to open one's eyes every morning...

I just need 30 seconds. 30 seconds.

Just a little more...

Ah, I'm sorry.

I think there's a slight problem.

(Words pieced together) I...did...not...commit...suicide.

Is this it?

Is this the reason you've been acting crazy?

You seem very surprised.

Fine, I was a bit too harsh.

Listen well.

I don't know what made you think this,

but your father committed suicide.

Moreover, he did it on the day Ciel had its grand opening, which I've been working on for a year like a lunatic.

He did it for me to see!

People trying to ruin the hotel...

Your dead father's enough.

So,

get lost when I'm warning you nicely.

For you, it was a year, but...

my dad dreamt for a lifetime to build Asia's finest hotel.

But...

his suicide doesn't make any sense.

Are you telling me to believe that?

That bastard...

What happened? Didn't you say you had to go home?

Writing letter of reflections keeps me more busy.

It's still slippery. You should ride when the weather's warmer.

Nothing's better than this at making me feel better.

Fine, come back safely.

Don't cry when I'm not here.

Everyone, please sit.

Sure.

Excuse me, Vice-President.

Please sit here now.

If we leave it empty for too long, it'll disturb order.

Isn't that the Chairman's seat?

It hasn't been empty for too long. Until the shareholder's meeting,

we should leave it empty.

Director Yoon is right.

I heard there was a big accident in the presence of the IOC leaders.

Isn't it the doing of the same culprit

who caused the Chairman's ghost incident?

Did you report it to the police? - If the Chairman's death gets talked about,

then we'll incur further damages. I'm working on taking care of it privately.

Since the open party until now,

I've been disappointed in you, multiple times.

Don't forget that you have many eyes on you.

General Manager Cha is working hard,

so let's have faith in him and give him some time.

It's not like only bad things have happened.

Just like last year, our Ciel Hotel

has been selected by the World Travel Award

as the best hotel in Korea this year.

We will be accepting that award.

Director Yoon, you don't look too happy.

I'm happy. However,

since the person who deserves the applause isn't here,

I'm sad.

Good morning, everybody!

By the looks of everyone's expression, it seems like you're having a bad morning.

That's not it.

You should come here and introduce yourself.

Even the Vice-President hasn't taken that seat...

That's fine.

This is Chairman Ah's only daughter,

Ah Mo Ne.

This chair is super comfy!

What brand is this?

You shouldn't do that. Introduce yourself properly.

Hi.

It's understandable, since she's lived overseas for a long time.

Anyway, it's a relief.

The person to accept the award in his place has come at the perfect time.

The World Travel Award is a prestigious award.

Even if she's the heiress, we can't have her represent our hotel at the ceremony

without any preparation.

If you need someone to accept the award in place of my dad, then I have to go.

Don't worry.

I'll prepare a really expensive dress that's suitable for such a prestigious award.

Are you avoiding me? - No.

Then why are you walking away without a word?

Ah, you only yell when there's no one around, right?

I decided to get rid of the Chairman's office.

I thought I had to let you know, since you're Ciel's heiress.

Stop! Put everything back in its place while I'm saying this nicely.

No, take everything out.

There is no way that you are going to take these away.

Don't you dare move a single dust particle from this room.

It's been decided on. You don't have the authority to do this.

You're being petty and putting on a show for me to see, aren't you?

Yes. I'm doing this for you to see.

I told you, haven't I? Every time you play a joke,

I'll be erasing things, one by one.

Try to do whatever you want. Let's see if it'll happen.

I'll be back in one hour.

If you're still here, I'll have you taken away as well.

Before that hour, go back to your room.

Evil bastard.

It's correct. They're antidepressants and

this one's Loxapine.

It's usually prescribed for patients with schizophrenia.

What happens if you take this?

People with symptoms will get better,

but if people without symptoms take them,

then they could experience hallucinations.

You can't purchase these without a doctor's prescription, right?

Of course.

So, is Doctor Im still unavailable?

Yes, he won't be able to come in this month.

I understand.

What happened...

to Dad?

Miss.

What are you doing here?

Get off.

I'm telling you to get off from there.

What are you doing?

Miss, be careful!

Miss, drive slowly!

Stay put. Don't take a single step. If you follow me, I'll kill you.

Why are you going there? - To see my dad.

Dad?

The Chairman?

Is my Boksoon (lucky girl) here?

I told you not to call me that.

I told you it sounds cheesy.

That name's more suited for a dog.

What's wrong with it?

To me,

when my daughter smiles,

I feel like good luck comes my way.

Still, I don't like it.

Boksoon...

Boksoon...

Deceased: Ah Seong Won Daughter: Ah Mo Ne

I came too late, haven't I?

I missed you, Dad.

I missed you,

Dad.

I missed you,

Dad.

Dad.

I missed you, Dad.

Dad.

What are you looking at? Aren't you going to drive?

No. I'll do it.

Give it to me.

Hurry and get on.

Hey, this isn't the way to the hotel.

It's up to the driver!

Do you want to die? Turn it around!

Oh, really. Hey!

Hey, hey!

That dog

must've seen something again.

The reason that kid keeps bringing up her dead father...

What do you think it is?

I think she's acting out.

There was no suicide note left for her,

so I guess she doesn't want to believe it.

Barging into the conference room...

was simply acting out?

She's still

a young kid.

It's really weird.

Is it because I'm old and old-fashioned?

In my eyes,

you look like you're wavering.

Oh.

Look at him!

Good job.

You did well.

Come here.

Throw this away and take him home.

Good.

When I let him loose from time to time,

he loses his mind

and frantically looks for something he can attack.

It's his nature.

Right now, he's trained to obey me, but...

he was born as a wild beast.

He likes to attack,

and when he bites, he never lets go.

Taming a dog like that

requires repetitive training.

Don't forget.

I am...

your owner.

For the time being,

take your hands off of Mo Ne's matters.

The appointment of the new chairman is in 10 days.

You leave all the messy work to me,

and just focus on hotel matters.

I'll take care of it.

Dad!

Oh, you...

Aigoo, my daughter.

Hey, hey, you're all grown up now!

The General Manager might disapprove of this.

It's because seeing you this early at home is like a miracle!

Hello, Manager Cha.

Hello.

Guess what this is!

Today, again?

No. I don't have the confidence. I don't. No.

You're going to get two bowls as punishment.

What? -Do you want to eat with us, Manager Cha?

That's okay.

That's enough.

What wrong did the General Manager do?

The food you make

is hard to swallow, unless it's family.

Is that so?

I'll invite you next time after I learn it properly.

Yes, thank you.

See you tomorrow.

Let's go.

This girl...

It's cheonggukjang (bean paste stew). Dad, do you eat cheonggukjang?

I couldn't eat it last time.

It's tasty!

Let's go.

Get out.

It's a request that a VIP customer is making to the General Manager.

Just go please.

Today's horoscope said an important person was coming.

Why is it so quiet?

It's just been 1 hour and 17 minutes since you've come to work.

It's been 16 minutes.

Wow, 1 + 3...

I mean, 1 + 2.

(A real wowzer!)

Hello, customers.

Hello. How can we help you?

Do you have rooms available?

Did you make a reservation?

No.

I'll check for you if there are available rooms today.

How long are you planning to stay?

We'll decide on that later.

Can I tell you the type of rooms we're looking for individually?

Yes, customer. Please let us know.

I would like a room with a separate living area.

It has to be on the top floor with a nice view, and I want it close to an elevator.

It has to have a tub, and please change out the toiletries to unscented ones

and stock the fridge with sparkling water.

I'll request turn-down service when I need it, so don't do it.

Every morning at 7 AM, I would like to have an American-style breakfast delivered to my room.

Sunny-side up, bacon, a simple salad, and coffee.

I would like to request a warm croissant as well.

Sorry, Madame. Can you say that all again slowly?

Should I say it twice?

No, we'll prepare what you asked.

Next guest.

I just need a room that's next to hers.

Your check-in is complete. Here's your key card.

Miss Yoon Da Jung.

Work hard.

What do you think they do?

Intelligence agents?

Or... CIA?

Stop watching movies and check your work properly!

It's been so long since I've seen the sea.

I really missed it.

We're not at the hotel. Act like you know me.

I'm nervous for some reason.

Look at the waters as much as you want.

Your assistant will be here soon.

I called him.

If a VIP guest goes missing, it's an emergency for the hotel.

Ah, I forgot for a second.

Even though you made me feel excited many times in a single day,

with one cold stare, you made me feel very lonely.

What did I do with a man like you?

I really don't have an eye for men.

Dragging around an heiress without permission... do you want to get fired?

Take a breath here, and when we get back, do whatever you please. Fire me or kill me.

The hotel is stuffy.

I like stuffy things.

But it's nice to get out, isn't it?

Yeah, it's really nice.

It was good to come here.

Here.

Miss, where are you going?

Miss!

General Manager, you were here?

It looks good. Are you two dating?

What are you doing right now?

Inside, you acted like an OCD patient.

But when you're outside, you're making a love story with a wealthy widow?

Where does it end?

The more I look at you, you seem like an onion. (Has many layers like an onion, full of mystery.)

Tell me.

You have a special relationship with the two-faced girl, right?

Yes.

She's a VIP who gives a lot of help to Ciel.

She is, of course, special.

Sure, you'll word it like that.

Miss, that's enough.

I asked him a favor, because I was unfamiliar with the area.

Your car is here. You should get going.

Okay. Thank you for your help today.

Please apologize later for your rudeness today.

I don't think I'll able to restrain myself unless you do so.

Sun Woo Hyun, your home is in this direction, right?

Yes.

You can go ahead.

I'll take her with me.

Are you out of your mind? Why would I get in your car?

If the hotel employees see you riding with an employee, they may take it the wrong way.

Sun Woo Hyun, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yes. Please take good care of her, General Manager.

Are you leaving for real?!

You're two-faced.

Let's go.

This is Sun Woo Hyun.

The Miss went to Woljeongsa temple and cried a lot.

Don't scold her too much.

Don't do things that will make you stick out anymore.

What is he saying again?

I'm saying this for your own good.

You know what? I'm not sure why I hate you so much.

That's a relief.

I hate you because you're like this! Can't you do something about your manner of speech?

It's me.

Really? They came together?

Continue to keep an eye on them.

He's really

not the like-able type.

Cha Jae Wan, I'm going to take care of you first.

Ugh...

Look at him! Good job!

Good job! You did well.

Are you okay?

Hey!

It's okay.

It's okay now.

It's okay.

Hotel King Preview

Don't worry. I'll make it happen, no matter what.
