The only word I can use to describe "Hotelier" is 'mesmerized'.

I haven't been touched by such a moving story in such a long time. It is a very different 'touched' from the dramas that uses death and departing as a theme. In addition, the drama showed a wide perspective in human relations such as the staff's persistence in saving the hotel, their warmth in serving customers, friendship, comic (between Chun Qing & Xiang Wan) and especially love (between Dong Xian & Zhen Yin).

Needless to say, the word 'mesmerized' also goes for the charming Bae Yong Joon. He really fit the image of '300 roses'. His eyes may be small but they seem to penetrate through one's soul and communicate such great feelings. At first I wasn't really impressed with his 'go-getter' attitude in getting the one he loves. However, towards the end of the series, you can tell that he has really put in a lot of effort and hard work to reach for Zhen Yin's heart. From the moment he saved her from the desert to finally winning her heart ... that is a tedious journey which I think is quite hard to find nowadays, such a strong persistence in love.
