My Secret Hotel: Review
The Secret Hotel is considered the most luxurious hotel and most sought-after wedding destination in Korea. Nam Sang-hyo (Yoo In-na) is the manager of wedding planning at the hotel and rules over her domain down to the last detail to provide her clients with the most memorable dream weddings. But her perfectionistic work environment begins to unravel when her new wedding client is Goo Hae-young (Jin Lee-han), a famous architect who also happens to be her ex-husband. Things get even more complicated when a man falls to his death during Haeyoung’s wedding, causing a major problem for managing director, Jo Sung-gyeom (Namgoong Min), and the hotel PR manager, Yeo Eun-joo (Lee Young-eun). The murder case that brings about a crisis at the hotel is related to Sunggyeom’s personal history. Now let’s review this drama! This drama received high ratings on multiple websites. On Viki, this drama received a rating of 8.7, on Asianwiki it received a 91, and on Mydramalist it got a 7.3. Even so, many people are not really satisfied with this drama. We can say My Secret Hotel is not everyone’s cup of tea. In the first few episodes it’s really exciting, but the drama started becoming repetitive. If you’re okay with that, you might love this drama. People speculated the drama went downhill when the scriptwriter changed from Kim Ye-ri to Kim Do-hyun. There are still a few mysteries that linger in your brain even after watching all the episodes until the very end, because the drama doesn’t give you the answers. We think it’s because they make the crime scenes as sidetracks and focus more on the romance, even though they claimed it’s a mystery/crime series. But don’t worry, some of the scenes still represent those genres, and some parts are creepy and scary. For instance, drops of red liquid keep falling from above, and when Hae Young walks down the aisle, a body,suddenly falls from the glass rooftop and sends all the guests at his wedding screaming and running. One thing that makes people still want to watch this drama is the relationship between Nam Sang-hyo and Goo Hae-young. They show us great chemistry by perfectly playing their roles. They made audiences feel as if they were witnessing a real story. The other actors also did a wonderful job with their roles. This drama makes people laugh because of the comedy scenes and, a few seconds later, it leaves us crying over scenes of parting and loss. There are also a few twists that you don’t expect. Another reason is their style is amazing. Every actor has their own style which make them unique. For example, Nam Sang-hyo has a very nice, corporate look.
