Winter Sonata is the first drama that has changed my whole perception about Korean dramas.....it introduces me to the world of Korean dramas.....

It is also the drama that I get to know about Bae Yong Jun.....also the one that makes me fall in love with and wanted to watch more Korean dramas.....

The drama that made me fell in love with Bae Yong Jun and urged me to get all of his works.....desperately.....

In other words, I have unknowingly been infected with the incurable "BYJ syndrome", like many.....

Winter Sonata is my first love and I thought no other dramas could be able to take over its place in my heart.....

This was before I watched HOTELIER.....

Shin Dong Xian, Xu Zhen Yin, Han Tai Jun, Jin Yun Xi, Rong Qi.....

These are the names that have "checked in" into my heart.....I may not be able to forget them.....

Lots of scenes kept flashing across my mind every now and then.....

The scene where Dong Xian first met Zhen Yin, in a restaurant called "Three Hundred Roses" in Las Vegas.....
The scene where Dong Xian met Zhen Yin again in the lift without the latter being aware of it.....
The scene where Dong Xian and Zhen Yin dined in the mansion.....and also the noodle house in Seoul.....
The scene where Tai Jun saw Dong Xian sent Zhen Yin home on a rainy day. That was on TJ's birthday, while escorting Jie Ni home.....
The scene where Dong Xian fetched Zhen Yin home on her birthday after dining with her.....
The scene in Diamond Villa, where Dong Xian danced with Zhen Yin.....
The scene where Dong Xian held Zhen Yin's hand from behind at the spiral staircase of Casablanca.....
The scene where Dong Xian kissed Zhen Yin in front of her colleagues after she found his motive of coming to Seoul.....
The scene when Rong Qi met Yun Xi.....
The scene where Yun Xi met Tai Jun, while he tried to save her.....
The scene when Dong Xian first met his father.....
The reunion of Dong Xian, Jie Ni and their father.....Dong Xian ran out during the reunion.....Zhen Yin chased after him.....

Unfortunately, the scene where Zhen Yin consoled Dong Xian wasn't there. Lickily, I saw the flash created by TT. That is nicely done. In fact, that is my favourite scene..... Even though it is a short and speechless scene, I have enjoyed it very much..... I could feel Dong Xian's pain.....Zhen Yin's desire to console him and share his pain.....all are so vivid in my mind.....

There are too many scenes that have occupied my entire mind and heart that I could not list them all.....

In conclusion, I fell in love with HOTELIER. She has successfully replaced Winter Sonata's position in my heart.....

When will I be able to meet my Hotelier.....? Who is the one that is destined to "check in" into my heart forever.....?

Thank you very much, TT and Haze, for setting up this forum.....for me to have a place to share my thoughts with all HOTELIER lovers.....
