1.	Okay.. [Rating: 6/10] This drama is set around a hotel and how they go about running the hotel. They try to save the hotel from a rich guy who wants to buy it and tear it down. There’s some cheap melodrama thrown in with the cast, as well as sucking up to customers, and they all love the hotel. I’m sure the Korean version was better. It's okay but a little boring.

2.	Nice Acting, but the ending stuck it over... [Rating: 8/10] I liked this drama because there was quite a bit of mystery between characters, but the love "square" was so ridiculous, and then the ending just made everything spin around back to happiness that it made the story flat. Peiyon Jun did not get much of an appearance in this drama even though it was a Korean story. Ueto Aya was great in this, but she still seems pretty young to be enthralled in types of character relationships such as this. The end result kind of left me at "there should be more development." The story ended too fast and the result was too predictable, it needs to be refilmed to make it less predictable.

3.	Another poor remake [Rating: 6/10] Oikawa Mitsuhiro holds up this show in his version of the Bae Young Jun role. Aya..... ouch! Another weak performance on her part. Yet the show was strangely compelling, I only skipped one ep. My recommendation is to watch the korean version which rocked.

4.	Poor Remake Unfortunately... [Rating: 4/10] There is something missing in this drama. Is it a bit Manga-ish or it's not engaging? But I can pin point some problems: The only actors that hold up the characters in the Korean Version of 'Hotelier' are Oikawa Mitsuhiro and Kohmoto Masahiro. Otherwise, bad casting! For example: Aya is too young for this role. The character that she's playing is suppose to be older. She also fail to show the complicated emotion that she falls in love with Masakazu but she still has feelings for Ogata at the same time. Another bad casting: Saeko didn't do a good job to hold up 'Kim Yun Hee' character. She doesn't even show she's mature and smart at all which her character suppose to be. I don't feel that Ogata is capable and had warm personality or likable. Also this J-version seems like rushing and the storyline is too straightfoward except for all the plots that follow the K-version. There is not space to develop the characters. If you want to watch Hotelier, I recommend the Korean version. Although it may be old and slower, the characters are more developed, the storyline is much complete, and the actors/actresses are much better in protraying their roles and emotions.

3.	Comments by moonchyld [Rating: 7/10] watched a few eps here and there.. wasn't too bad, but ueto aya really fails to engage me. the other actors are also just blah, not interesting enough.

10.	Comments by K.T.Tran [Rating: ?/10] Gave up on this one. Sure has somewhat a story to it. Sure Aya's acting in it was ok. All in all, it was just boring to me. Stopped after ep 4
11.	Comments by ShinYo [Rating: 8/10] Finished this drama within 3 days. It was so interested me to watch, not because of Aya Ueto but everyone did a good job to keep me enjoyed watching it.

18.	Comments by eml132 [Rating: ?/10] Watching soon...
19.	Comments by Sehla Mizerable [Rating: 9/10] It's much better than the Korean version.. Short and straightforward. Great Casting and storyline. Ueto Aya is so cute in this one eventhough she acts as a serious character.. still i love her!
20.	Comments by shozen [Rating: 8/10] I'm watching this now. Curious to see the original Korean version, which im sure it is better. The cast seems overwhelmingly great but something too cheesy and not done right...
21.	Comments by Milano [Rating: 7/10] Too plain, a bit predictable... the worst drama starring Ueto Aya.
22.	Comments by hisashi [Rating: 6/10] Ok only but good ending.
23.	Comments by Kirari Ililah [Rating: 8/10] Lovely love, but ending spoiled the moments. Too fast, not enough of Peiyon Jun on his character, and there was a lack in the middle story development as the ending just CAME.
24.	Comments by v1olet [Rating: 8/10] I kept comparing this dorama with the Korean version. The story was much simple than the Korean while Korean version was so romantic and entertaining. However, I like Ueto Aya. So stylish.
25.	Comments by boris [Rating: ?/10] Slaba rakia...
26.	Comments by irwinner [Rating: 6/10] The story feels slow and uninteresting, though its much faster in the second half.
27.	Comments by nishishi [Rating: 6/10] First of all... Do they really had to show Yon~sama so many times?? I know he got famous in Japan after Winter Sonata... but C'mon... there's a limit of how many times u can show the EXACTLY same scene in one dorama.... Nways... Hotelier (Hoteriaa) is an OK dorama... one of those that u can easily forget after watching it.... Eventough the casting is good... it fails on adding something spetacular to the dorama.... And that LOVE-"PENTAGON" is relly annoying... it almost made the dorama look like a Mexican soap opera...
28.	Comments by nienna [Rating: 8/10] i love it!! Even though there were some parts where the bad guy is really bad but at least, the ending didn't turn out too badly.
29.	Comments by guchik [Rating: 7/10] Nice drama.
30.	Comments by expanzee [Rating: 3/10] Boring. I barely finished it.
31.	Comments by Eve [Rating: 6/10] A poor remake. Aya is a weak choice. Oikawa Mitsuhiro and his usual riveting performance hold up the show.
32.	Comments by doriangrey64 [Rating: 6/10] average at best.
33.	Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: ?/10] COMPLETE.
34.	Comments by jessiesoon [Rating: ?/10] watching...
35.	Comments by gupi [Rating: 6/10] ueto become a hotel manager ? kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
36.	Comments by Steve [Rating: 6/10] just an average show, may be because i've watched the korean version, i don't have feeling that i am watching japanese drama.
37.	Comments by kireiyuhi [Rating: 7/10] Ueto Aya's acting is so stiff. She's terrible at portraying any emotion other then happiness. Other then that, the acting was pretty good and while the plot was a little predictible, it was a cute story.
