Multi-starrer Christmas films have been being released around the holiday season for a while now and the fad seems to have finally reached South Korean shores. After “New Year Blues” last year, this year sees director Kwak Jae-yong, who is no stranger to the mushy romance genre after having made such classics as “My Sassy Girl”, “Windstuck” and “The Classic”, take on a similar project, with a massive star-cast boasting of impressive talents both young and young-at-heart.
Synopsis
The story of people who met each other at Hotel Emros during the New Year holidays, each with their own stories and creating relationships in their own ways.
As expected from the storyline, the characters are divided in both the staff and guests working in the Hotel. The staff comprises of Han Ji-min (“Miss Baek”), who plays the hotel manager, Lee Dong-wook (“The Beauty Inside”) as the hotel's CEO, Yoona (“Exit”) as the receptionist, Won Jin-ah (“Steel Rain”) as a room maid and Lee Hye-young (“No Blood No Tears”) as a porter. The guests include Kang Ha-neul (“Forgotten”) as a young man looking for a job, Lee Kwang-soo (“Sinkhole”) as a talent manager, Seo Kang-joon (“The Beauty Inside”) as a singer-songwriter/DJ and Jung Jin-young (“The King and the Clown”) as a businessman, among many others. The film, as expected, is scheduled for a December, 2021 release around the holiday season on the streaming platform TVING.
