[SERIES] EMPIRE OF GOLD; The World with Greed


There's always a protagonist and an antagonist in every drama. But, in this series, you will find that every character is more likely to be antagonist. It was started with a scene where Choi Seo Yoon (played by Lee Yo Won) waiting for her bridegroom, Jang Tae Joo (Go Soo). The wedding was held on a church and there were only both of them there. Seo Yoon would like to put the ring on Tae Joo's finger but she noticed that there was trace of blood in Tae Joo's hand. Then, it brought them to 20 years ago.

In 1990s, where there was IMF financial crisis, Tae Joo who had been graduated from university found out that his father must die for holding on his little restaurant. A rich family would like to buy the land there and get rid of the people who stood against them. Tae Joo's father who suffered from the injuries couldn't survive for he had no money to get surgery. By this incident, Tae Joo promised to himself to get rich and avenge to the rich men who "killed" his father.

Tae Joo, accompanied by his best friend, met Yoon Seol Hee, his senior when he was  at school. They worked together in a property field. He worked as hard as he could to reach the top. Love grew between both of them but because of Tae Joo's greed, he sacrificed Seol Hee to get in the jail in his place. Tae Joo married Seo Yoon though he didn't love her. In the other hand, Seo Yoon also need Tae Joo to fight with her cousin.

This drama showed that poor people couldn't survive just because they didn't have enough money to get better medication. Even, honesty and intelligence weren't worthy. But, once again, it taught us not to be greedy. The more we feed our greed, the more it will grow and eat you up.

[SERIES] HOTEL KING; The Hotel Lies A Secret



This drama reunited Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae after My Girl. It's about Cha Jae Wan, a general manager of Hotel Ciel and Ah Mo Ne, an heiress of the hotel. Lee Joong Goo, a man who picked Jae Wan when he was a beggar from a lousy street, told that Ah Sung Won was his father and had abandoned him and his deceased mother. That's why Jae Wan would like to avenge his father. He told Sung Won that he was his son but accidentally Sung Won was dead.

After Sung Won's death, Ah Mo Ne, Sung Won's daughter appeared. She wanted to know how his father died. Jae Wan who thought Ah Mo Ne was his sister, slowly fell in love with her. Feeling guilty to have the forbidden feeling, Jae Wan tried to ignore her. In the other hand, Ah Mo Ne loved Jae Wan sincerely and did her best to keep the hotel.

Manager Baek Mi Nyeo held a lot of secrets that no one knows. She helped Ah Mo Ne to be a chairwoman but also framed her for a fraud. She also tried to kill Jae Wan who later known to be his son. Jae Wan also found out that his biological father was Lee Joong Goo. Knowing this fact, he finally felt relieved and started a relationship with Ah Mo Ne.


Once again, revenge brings no happiness. People who plan to avenge other people usually get more miserable. This drama shows that sincere love can melt someone's cold heart. The love I talk about is not only love between man and woman but also between friends and parents-children.
