A Year-End Medley (2021)

Other name: 해피 뉴 이어, Haepi Nyu Ieo, Happy New Year

Description:

"A Year-End Medley" beautifully captures the holiday spirit at Hotel Emros, weaving together the captivating stories of its staff and guests as New Year's approaches. The hotel manager, highly competent professionally yet personally diffident, oversees the bustling establishment alongside a young CEO with a curious obsession for even numbers. Among the dedicated staff is a new room maid, who bravely set aside her dream of becoming a musical actress, and a steadfast female door porter.

The hotel becomes a melting pot of diverse guest narratives: a young man seeking a new path after failing a public officer exam, a popular radio DJ and singer-songwriter reflecting on his journey from hardship, and an artist's manager celebrating his client's hard-earned success. Love stories unfold with a radio DJ and jazz pianist preparing for their wedding, and a plastic surgeon diligently waiting for his destined love. A businessman returns for his daughter's wedding, while a fortuneteller consults clients. Even two high school students, a swimmer and a figure skater, discover nascent feelings. These interconnected lives find moments of reflection, hope, and new beginnings during this special year-end period.
