Cult series for the couple Lee Dong Wook / Lee Da Hae, but which has aged badly!!

PLOT: Upon the death of her father, the heiress of a large hotel returns to Korea and takes over the reins of the hotel, with the help of the General Manager, the ML. This one is operated by the Vice-Pdt, the Great Villain, who took him in as a child and "trained him". His goal is to recover the hotel. The ML will be caught between the orders of the Great Villain and his love for the FL.

PROS:
+ A great casting, not only the couple Lee Dong Wook / Lee Da Hae, but a lot of emerging actors who will become known.

FLAWS:
### A story that is too melodramatic, full of flaws:
How in our time can we take someone's word for it when we talk about filiation or lineage? A DNA test done again and everything is clear щ(ಠ益ಠщ). At this level, the storyline is not credible! =>misunderstanding until the end of episode 10. The ML's hesitations between his love and his "benefactor" last too long.
### an old-fashioned production (and yet the series is only 10 years old): long slow-motion shots on the faces/looks, twists brought in with too much emphasis, melodramatic tone, "old" OST, etc.

=> Excellent actors, but a story that has aged poorly.
*************************************************************
Série culte pour le couple Lee Dong Wook / Lee Da Hae, mais qui a mal vieilli !!

PLOT: Au décès de son père, l'héritière d'1 gd hôtel, revient en Corée et reprend les rênes de l'hôtel, avec l'aide du Manager general, le ML. Celui-ci est manœuvré par le Vice-Pdt, le Great Villain, qui l'a recueilli enfant, et "dressé". Son objectif est de récupérer l'hôtel. Le ML va être pris en tenaille entre les ordres du Great Villain et son amour pour la FL.

PROS:
+ Un great casting, non seulement le couple Lee Dong Wook / Lee Da Hae, mais bcp d'acteurs émergents qui vont devenir connus.

FLAWS:
### Une story trop mélodramatique, plein de défauts :
Comment à notre époque, peut-on croire quelqu'un sur parole quand on parle de filiation ou de lignage ? Un test ADN fait à nouveau et tout est clair щ(ಠ益ಠщ). A ce niveau, la storyline n'est pas crédible ! => jusqu'à fin épisode 10. Les hésitations du ML entre son amour et son "bienfaiteur" durent trop longtemps.
### une réalisation vieillotte (et pourtant la série n'a que 10 ans) : longs ralentis sur les visages / regards, twists amenés avec trop d'emphase, trop de mélo, OST vintage, etc.

=> D'excellents acteurs, mais une story qui a mal vieilli.
