I've been watching Hotel king since the very first episode and, even though I really enjoyed it during the beginning, I really have to say this is the worst drama I watched till now, right after 'The Prime minister and I'. It was not for the cast, which played with an interesting chemistry, but for the whole lengh and super confusing and complex plot of the drama. The first 10 episodes, the plot is good to follow and you it's quite thrilling, but then there's being added a lot extra conspiracies and, if you don't have the time to diligently watch every episode after it came out, you will soon get confused with the whole story and the many characters, kind of like in the drama 'Three Days' or the book 'Under the dome' by Stephen King, which I'm reading these days. After a while, it is just everyone against everyone and it gets really tiring to watch it, as well as the many, too long and too wrong placed romantical scenes. But Even though I am complaining right now, there were also some parts I really enjoyed. For example the staff interactions. These were definitely the most enjoyable scenes for me, the staff playfully surpressing each other, yet being there for each other and making me laugh. Also, Lee Da Hae's character was interesting. I really didn't like her at first but in the end, she and Lee Dong Wook had a really good on-screen chemistry, which I really enjoyed. Overall, the best about this drama was, for me, the cast. The number of episodes could have been also 20 or 24, but not 32, which is way too many episodes for such a complex drama.
