Gu Won’s Growing Desperation:
Episode 6 opens with Gu Won becoming increasingly desperate to uncover the truth about his mother’s disappearance. The more he learns, the more he realizes how deeply the mystery is tied to the inner workings of the King Group. His determination to find answers begins to consume him, affecting his interactions with those around him, including Cheon Sa-rang.
Gu Won's usual composure starts to crack as he becomes more emotionally invested in his search. This vulnerability is a stark contrast to the confident and controlled image he usually presents, showing a more human side of his character.
2. Sa-rang’s Concern for Gu Won:
Cheon Sa-rang notices the change in Gu Won’s behavior. His usual calm demeanor is replaced by a tense, almost restless energy. She becomes concerned, but Gu Won remains tight-lipped about what’s bothering him, leaving Sa-rang feeling helpless.
Despite her reservations about getting too close to Gu Won, Sa-rang’s worry for him grows. She starts to reach out more, offering small gestures of kindness and support, which Gu Won quietly appreciates, even if he doesn’t fully open up to her.
3. The Rumors Take Hold:
Meanwhile, Gu Hwa-ran’s rumor about Gu Won planning to leave the company starts to gain traction. The staff at King Hotel are on edge, unsure of what the future holds. This uncertainty creates an atmosphere of tension and anxiety within the hotel, affecting everyone from top management to the front-line employees.
Gu Won, aware of the rumors but unsure of how to counter them without revealing too much, decides to keep a low profile. However, his silence only fuels the speculation, making the situation worse. Sa-rang, caught in the middle, tries to maintain her focus on work but can’t ignore the undercurrents of fear and uncertainty among her colleagues.
4. Sa-rang’s Dilemma:
Sa-rang finds herself in a difficult position as she becomes more aware of the internal politics at play within the King Group. She is torn between her growing feelings for Gu Won and her need to protect her career. The social and professional gap between them feels wider than ever, and Sa-rang struggles with the idea of getting involved in a situation that could jeopardize everything she’s worked for.
Her friends, Oh Pyung-hwa and Kang Ji-eun, continue to support her, but even they start to question whether Sa-rang should distance herself from Gu Won to avoid being caught up in the corporate drama. Sa-rang is left feeling isolated, with no clear path forward.
5. A Sudden Crisis:
The tension at the hotel reaches a boiling point when a major crisis occurs: a high-profile guest has a severe complaint about their stay, threatening the hotel’s reputation. The guest’s dissatisfaction is not just about a single issue but seems to be part of a larger plot to discredit the hotel, possibly orchestrated by Gu Hwa-ran to undermine Gu Won’s position.
Sa-rang is thrust into the center of the crisis, tasked with resolving the issue.
