Synopsis

Ueto Aya plays Odagiri Ryoko who is a manager of a hotel, which a businessman (Oikawa Mitsuhiro) is trying to take over.

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Hotelier_%28TV_Asahi%29

I think there are quite a lot of famous actors in the show, nice to see them

I wonder if Aya spoke good Korean in the drama. Can she really speak it ? Or it just for the show ?
Anyway it was quite funny to hear Aya speaking English and Korean in the first episode

TG3 · Post by **TG3** » Apr 21st, '07, 14:43

Good first episode. I haven't watched the original Korean series upon which this was based. For those who saw that, how does this compare? I'm also glad to see Aya Ueto in a different kind of role.

ilurrveniki · Post by **ilurrveniki** » Apr 23rd, '07, 04:48

I just finished watching episode one and I must this drama is VERY impressive!!

I love the whole cast, especially seeing Ueto Aya acting in a totally different role! I love her acting and she is very very pretty!!

Ep1 gave us a brief yet detailed outline of the hotel's situation and it looks like several men are falling for ueto aya!!!

yatta!!

I cant wait to see how this hotel will be in the future!! Really looking forward to it! I hope the ratings will be very high! This is one of the best dramas so far this season!!!!

Does anyone have the theme song by ueto aya?? And does anyone know if this hotel really exists in Japan?? It looks very grand!! SUTEKI!!!!

Big cheers for dfansubs for soft subbing this drama!!!

oro77 · Post by **oro77** » Apr 23rd, '07, 06:44

I did not know there were soft subs, maybe I will watch it again with subs . I did not get the whole story, especially during the anniversary party.

Aya is really great in this drama, as usual her acting is very good.

The casting is also interesting but the rating doesn't seem so good

11.1 % with a very good broadcast hour : Thursday at 9:00

Maybe not so many ads for the drama, not like Joudan janai

airskape · Post by **airskape** » Apr 23rd, '07, 13:40

enjoyed the first ep a lot!
very interesting drama and its great to see aya in a different role. she is cute with long hair

will most likely be sticking to this!

furelise · Post by **furelise** » Apr 23rd, '07, 13:48

this looks good judging from the first ep... but 8 eps in all seems a little short..

Ueto Aya is really different in this role. It's childishness away! =) Episode 1's not bad. Looking 4ward to the next epi

Yup. No more HS girl roles, and not even a quirky, funny character like in "Attention Please." But honestly, I think this is just the role she needs to become a more complete actress.

oro77 · Post by **oro77** » Apr 25th, '07, 04:02

I think she alereadu had serious role like in Tsubasa no Tenshi (I forgot the long title) and also in Koukou kyoushi, in this one she was childish because of the role of the high school girl but quite serious show.

Sakari · Post by **Sakari** » Apr 25th, '07, 09:32

First, thank you, D-Fansubs, for the subtitles. Second, well, I have watched the original Korean version, and liked it (right from the first episode.) In comparison, the Japanese version seems rushed, somehow. Everything is done very quickly, with little explanation. Why, say, does the Aya Ueto character, a comparatively low-level employee, attend the hotel president's sickbed (with his wife and son)? One Japanese guy in Seoul is explained, but why are the two others there?

A big problem is the ages of the main cast. Aya Ueto still seems too young to play someone taking responsibility for a large hotel's anniversary dinner. The Ogata character from Seoul is worse; he looks at most a few years older, but is supposed to take charge of the entire hotel (and to have treated AU as a daughter???)

The Korean version had a rather important subplot dealing with adoption (of Korean children to the US.) I wonder whether any of this remains in the Japanese one.

airskape · Post by **airskape** » Apr 25th, '07, 11:09

i dont think aya's characters status level of employment is that low, she is the assistant manager. kind of contradicts your other statement in that she is taking responsibility for a large hotel's anniversary dinner yet her status as an employee is low-level. anyway, im sure she is just close to the president and his family personally which is why she was at his side in the hospital

not sure what you mean by the japanese guy and the two others being in seoul..cant really remember that scene

anyway, since when did dramas have to be realistic to the point where they have to be accurate in terms of real life. lets just enjoy the drama!

my boss my hero jdrama, for example, a 27 year old yakuza pretending to be a high school student? yeah..that happens everyday lol

auroragb · Post by **auroragb** » Apr 25th, '07, 21:39

The first ep was nice. But there is no hook except that Aya is very elegant in this one (a relief from the silly characters she had to play). I think that the relationship among the staff is way too confusing and distracting from the main plot.

ruisu · Post by **ruisu** » Apr 26th, '07, 22:41

sakari, i see what you're saying, but only after you pointed it out. it sounds like the korean version did do a better job of developing the characters, but i still think this version is doing a good job. again, only after you pointed it out did i even begin to consider that.

well...i was impressed, this looks like a fun drama with a real sense of movement, not so linear...know what i mean?

i was kind of sad when i went to download the subs for episode two and they weren't there

Toritorisan · Post by **Toritorisan** » Apr 27th, '07, 01:41

I actually enjoyed the first episode. I thought the Kdrama version was a bit too long and got draggy. So I'm hoping that this version will be better. Who knows? Maybe they'll make a part 2 like HYD did...

I did kind of find it weird too how Ueto Aya's character is in such a high position for such a young age and especially a woman in Japan. But, this is TV world and anything goes!

I'm wondering if anyone watched it live in Japan and have spoilers to share! Episode 2 looked like it was going to be interesting from last week's preview.

babyviolet · Post by **babyviolet** » Apr 27th, '07, 02:00

I hope that Bae Yong Jun not only appear in ep 1, want to see him more.

ruisu · Post by **ruisu** » Apr 27th, '07, 02:09

mmm...if i had to guess i'd say Bae Yong Jun and two other guys aren't coming back. Unless one comes back as a ghost or in flash backs.

Well, she seems to be an assistant manager in the room(s?) division. There will be a manager in that division above her. Above that manager, there is the general manager. Only then do we get to the president. Thinking hierarchically, if there is one representative of the personnel at the president's sickbed, it should be the general manager, not an ass't mgr of the room(s?) division.

As to the dinner, why is an ass't mgr of the room(s?) division active at all in the restaurant? Why does she enter the kitchen? Why does she talk to the head cook? Shouldn't any problems be handled by the restaurant staff?

All of this can be accepted in the Korean version, simply because Song Yoon-ah, who plays the character, is (well, was) about 30, that is, almost 10 years older than Aya Ueto now. So, everything can be explained with history; SYA having worked in the hotel for 10 years or so, she knows everybody, she can talk to everybody. AU looks like she was employed last month. Not her fault, of course, but...

airskape wrote: not sure what you mean by the japanese guy and the two others being in seoul..cant really remember that scene

This is just what I meant by "rushed". Odagiri meeting Mizusawa in Seoul is important because of what is yet to happen in Tokyo. But the scene is done so quickly that, apparently, it can be missed altogether.

airskape wrote: anyway, since when did dramas have to be realistic to the point where they have to be accurate in terms of real life.

No, they don't have to. But people still have to have reasons for what they do.Odagiri and Ogata do have reasons for being in Seoul - what are Mizusawa's?

Sakari wrote: The Ogata character from Seoul is worse; he looks at most a few years older, but is supposed to take charge of the entire hotel (and to have treated AU as a daughter???)

It seems I was fooled, big time, by Seiichi Tanabe's youthful looks. According to Drama Wiki, he was born in 1969. That makes him, in fact, the same age as Kim Seung-woo, who played the part in the Korean version back in 2001.

Let's think. In the Korean version, the two characters (played by Song Yoon-ah and Kim Seung-woo, respectively) were about the same age and used to, in fact, date before the KSW character's abrupt departure. One subplot is this old - interrupted - romance.

In the Japanese version, there is a comparatively huge age gap of almost 20 years (between Tanabe and Aya Ueto.) This probably means that the old-romance subplot has been dropped...

wls2948 · Post by **wls2948** » May 5th, '07, 02:30

oikawa mitsuhiro is an under rated actor always in supporting roles in drama like nodame cantible...finaclly he gets a break as a leading man...great actor...

Hotelier is aired friday or saturday ?

wls2948 · Post by **wls2948** » May 7th, '07, 10:57

I LOVE this drama!!! So sad it is not getting good ratings...just like the korean drama "GoongS", the ratings were so disappointing though the drama was good....

Ueto Aya and Oikawa Mitsuhiro are awesome!!

dmaechan · Post by **dmaechan** » May 18th, '07, 15:19

i've liked this drama since i saw the 1st episode... i thought it was going to be one of those boring, draggy shows...which is why i didn't want to watch it at first... but it's really good.. can't wait for eps.5 subs!

..and that Oikawa Mitsuhiro.... <3 <3 I luv him and his character!!!
he looks a lot better than he did in Nodame^-^ (quite a few actors from Nodame are in this drama, i see)

...the actor who plays Ogata is the sempai in Kimi wa petto, ne? still don't like him..dunno why^^;

wls2948 · Post by **wls2948** » May 19th, '07, 01:16

hey is the subs for episode 5 out yet? can't wait to see episode 5...can someone share some spoilers here???did kyoko and keigo make up?

ryoko11 · Post by **ryoko11** » May 23rd, '07, 03:20

I just started this drama yesterday, and I've already gone through all 5 episodes. This one is terrific! I feel bad that I didn't start watching sooner.

Oikawa Mitsuhiro just steals the show. Mizusawa was probably my favorite character by the end of the first episode! I'm not sure how anybody could have missed his introduction to Kyoko either. It stood out to me, as did the bit when she got her purse stolen and ended up in his car.

Admittedly, I haven't seen the original Kdrama, but I rather enjoyed not knowing exactly why Mizusawa and Kikuchi were in Seoul in the first episode. It's kinda like we get to learn about him at the same time that Kyoko does (whereas we know Ogata's reason to be there, simply because Kyoko already knows it). It doesn't strike me as an odd place for Mizusawa to be, as he travels all over the world generally. For the most part he seems to have just finished a job and is relaxing while waiting for the next job offer.

...the actor who plays Ogata is the sempai in Kimi wa petto, ne? still don't like him..dunno why^^;

I think I liked him a little better in Kimi wa Petto. He's a good actor, but I don't find Ogata to be quite as developed or as set up for viewer sympathy as Mizusawa. So Tanabe's basically playing second fiddle again, but with fewer cute moments.

Those subs went up fast for episode 5!

Now on a different track I'll come out and confess it was Bae Yong Jun's beautiful face (together with his long hair, of course

) that first got my attention for this drama... (he-he, not much of a surprise from a die-hard ga-wa-la-ga-wa-la-la-ga, is it

) but what made me instantly decide to watch it was when I spotted Oikawa Mitsuhiro among the cast!

I first saw Oikawa Mitsuhiro as ベッシー in Manhattan Love Story and I was smitten at first sight

Fangirling follows:

To come back to the story, here is how I am afraid things will end up (please anyone who knows the story from watching the kdrama NOT to tell us the real ending!!

Let us have the pleasure of speculation and uncertainty. while we can...

)

wls2948 · Post by **wls2948** » May 24th, '07, 02:22

i agree ogata's character seems unable to express his feelings ... he seems to like Kyoko too but does not have the courage to speak up..... mizusawa on the other hand is very direct he told kyoko his feelings for her and even told ogata!!

episode 5 confused me a bit cos i am now curious as what is mizusawa trying to do...i thought he promised kyoko something then how come he did what he did at the end of the episode?

mizusawa is definitely the main character in this show as far as i see it cos he is very intelligent and he is a no nonsense person...not too given to emotions either...

No matter Akane's clinging, Ogata finally realizes how important Odagiri is to him (actually, I think he already kinda does ) and somehow finds the guts to tell her that, whereupon she suddenly realizes she cannot leave him, her first love, so they become a couple to live happily ever after, with Akane (hopefully; we are talking the optimistic version here) settling for Yosuke's sincere love, while Mizusawa-sama has to go back to roaming the wide world, all lonely and sad... And that is the optimistic version, where nobody dies or ends up in prison!

After rewatching some earlier episodes today, I'm a little more confused about the consulting bit.

Anyhow, only hours to go before the next episode airs! Yay!

And that is the optimistic version, where nobody dies or ends up in prison!

I can't even wrap my mind around Kyoko ending up with Ogata at this point. She's had all the buildup with Mizusawa in these first five episodes, and I just can't imagine any way to develop Ogata enough to become the romantic lead with only three episodes left. While I still fear the possibility some, I'm starting to feel that if it wasn't Mizusawa that she chose, Kyoko would end up alone. I get the feeling that while Ogata has feelings for Kyoko, he really loves the hotel most of all.

I'd really love to see Akane end up with Yosuke. He really likes her, and he's a much nicer guy than she's given him credit for. It would be rather entertaining how that would throw a monkeywrench into her father's plan too. Kinda a moot point taking over a hotel, if the present heir shacks up with your only heir. *chuckle*
After rewatching some earlier episodes today, I'm a little more confused about the consulting bit.

I think it was in episode 3 that Mizusawa's side had been talking to the bank about some part of their take over plan and basically saying that the bank was agreeing to it. So I'm not completely sure what that was about, and we've not really gotten more on it yet. Maybe, Japanese business law works kinda like those mystery illnesses that are so popular in doramas. You know the ones that are lifethreatening, but are never given a name or full explanation...
Anyhow, only hours to go before the next episode airs! Yay!

i'm afraid to read you guy's comments because i haven't seen the k-drama.

Oh yes, that's exactly what we were saying, wasn't it?

That we haven't seen the kdrama and don't want to be spoiled!

Thank you airskape for pointing it out.

So please ruisu do read and tell us what you think.

wls2948, ryoko-chan, here's what I'm guessing about our leading man (:wub:) 's intentions with the "consulting":

Oh, and ryoko-chan, I really-really liked what you said about the final outcome!!

Very reasonable, too!

ryoko11 · Post by **ryoko11** » May 24th, '07, 15:59

No worries, ruisu! I haven't seen the kdrama either. We are just making our own guesses about what might happen in the jdrama from what's happened in the first five episodes of that. I don't plan to watch the kdrama until after I finish watching the whole Japanese one.

That is a nicely romantic one, Liantasse! I'd enjoy that. (Yeah, I'm a hopeless romantic too!) Hmmm... my thoughts on what he might be doing.

*chuckle* Nice to have guesses to keep us busy while we wait for the next episode.

ruisu · Post by **ruisu** » May 24th, '07, 16:34

heheh...interesting takes. honestly i can't see what's gonna happen next...that's why i like it though! it can go so many ways. i do think though, that the hunter will fulfill his contract.

Yes, ruisu, I think he will, too, but I hope he will do it in a way that will burn Morimoto even worse than if he hadn't

Favorites scenes, huh? There are several that I particularly love. I'll put them in spoiler tags just to be safe in case someone visits the thread who hasn't seen the first 5 episodes.

wls2948 · Post by **wls2948** » May 24th, '07, 22:16

my favourites scenes:

1. the car scene...she was so brave...notice how mizusawa obeyed her ha ha!! he was already smitten

2. the arrival of mizusawa at ocean hotel...i was shocked he spoke so directly to kyoko...kyoko had a shock and so did i...

3. hug from behind...who wouldn't love that one? definitely the best....

I'm still only at 63% of the file, so now I'm really curious! My Japanese is limited, but I'll see if I can make it out once I have the full episode. This week's gonna be a killer waiting for the subs, isn't it? Well, if the ending is as tumultous as it seems, it'll be a killer waiting for the next episode too...

EDIT: EEEEEP! I'll have to be on the listen for that. Is that in the episode itself or the promo for 7?

It does so much to my peace of mind!!

You had me LOL when you said:

I thought episode one showed conclusively that Mizusawa was the guy you'd want when facing a man with a knife.

Yes!!! So maybe he'll still be there! It would be wrong to leave him out at such an intense moment!

Argh, I'm dying to watch this episode and/or all the previous episodes

but I must refrain

i am trying to do some maths here...according to the TV Asahi website...kyoko is 22, ogata 37 and mizusawa 35...so if say mizusawa left japan for us as a teenager at 15, that is why it has been 20 yrs he didn't come back...if his father had another child after abandoning mizusawa that means the child will only be 19 or 20 right? whereas kyoko is 22,,,so that means they can't possibly be related....i hope i am making some sense here...

anyway, i am quite sure they are not related...somehow the plot would not fit into the whole drama...remember this is a remake of the korean hotelier drama and there's no such plot there...keeping my fingers crossed

See what a good kid I am, waited for it to become "the next day" (at least here, in Bucharest

) before I came back with my latest idea about possible solution to evil cliffy!!

wls2948, my answer to your thoughts is in here too: kindly please use a spoiler tag when you're posting, as well! Who knows what innocent people are stumbling upon the thread - we wouldn't want to spoil the fun for them, would we?

Liantasse, good you waited to the next day so we didn't have to drive you off with torches and pitchforks to work on your project.

What you suggest pretty much goes along with what I've been thinking too.

havent seen epi6 yet but woah just read some of the spoilers here O_o that twist sure is different from the k-version and yet i like it.. interesting... (which in the end better be just a huge misunderstanding).

nways my fav scene so far was the end of epi4

OMG, I just barely watched Episode 6 and man what a major BOMB! I nearly collapse at the end.

But I actually got relieved by reading everyone's post saying that

Now I can't wait for Episode 7 and how they are going to wrap everything up to the final episode. Such a thriller!

Well, now that we have the subs I can finally comment more on the latest episode. (And it's not about THE TWIST even!)

I've started getting the Kdrama, since clubbox will take about a million years to complete all 20 episodes. *chuckle* So far I have seen the first 3 episodes for comparision. All together they cover about the events of episode 1 in the Jdrama. I won't give any spoilers on the differences or anything. I have to say that I'd have one heck of a hard time choosing between Shin Dong Hyuk and Mizusawa Keigo though. They both are pure win!

Shin Dong Hyuk and Mizusawa Keigo?! Let's hope never ever in our whole lives we won't have to choose between the likes of them!!!

At least I do! Send over just one of them, oh heavens!
