Hotelier (호텔리어) is a 20-episode MBC Korean drama made in 2001.

Storyline

Hotelier is a wonderful drama with its scene set in the Seoul Hotel. After the death of President Choi of Seoul Hotel, who struggled under rain and shine for thirty years with his wife Bong-sook, Bong-sook took over the role as the President of the Hotel after her Husband's death, mainly due to the fact that he was severely by Bok-Man of Hankang distribution, who wanted to buy up all his hotel's stakes and taking over their family business.

With Attorney Frank Shin's help, a wealthy Korean-American man who stayed in a Chalet within the same Hotel compound soon after his arrival in Seoul, Bok-Man found out many secrets of the hotel. However, after meeting up with Jin Young and falling in love with her, a series of conflicts started between the couple, along with Tae-Jun as well. Young Jae, on the other hand, who was a playfyl and naughty boy, often got the entire staff into trouble--All caused by his irresponsible behaviour. Under Tae-Jun's guidance, a kind man who has helped both Frank's sister, Yun Hee and others who were in trouble, he finally changed his ways and became a responsible man.

At the same time, Young Jae, the useless and playful Hotel proprietiess' son, fell in love with Jin Young, the daughter of Bok-Man, who was the arch enemy of Bong-Sook. Attacks from the public--Both directly from the several visitors, who were either madmen or gangsters, who stirred up many a time big trouble and as well as financially, who switched sides to and fro from with Jin Young for his feelings of love--a vital element whether he will help the hotel or take sides with Bok-man---all depends on Jin Young and his sister, whom he had found out during his stay in his hotel--Dong Hui.
