Hotel King Kdrama Episode 9 Fashion Review
Cha Jae Wan went back to Joong Goo like a defeated puppy after the incident at the restaurant. Joong Goo used this opportunity to beat him as a punishment. Ah Mo Ne saw it all happen but did not interfere.
She’s pretty shocked about that scene though and now understands why Jae Wan has all those scars.
To cheer him up, she brought him supper. She didn’t tell him what she saw though.
Here’s a better look at what Ah Mo Ne wore during that scene.
Ah Mo Ne’s trench coat and inner dress are both from:
Chae Kyung was also worried about Jae Wan’s hasty departure from her event so she went to his place. To her surprise, Jae Wan was with Ah Mo Ne.
Chae Kyung usually veers off from the stereotypical businesswoman second female character style occasionally and it often pays off. She tops a blazer over a floaty skirt and cinches the blazer at the waist for more silhouette definition.
Chae Kyung’s blazer is from SJSJ and her skirt is from MINE.
Everyone’s tongues are a-wagging after the Jae Wan-Mo Ne fiasco at the restaurant. Everyone’s assuming they’re now in a relationship. They’re worried Sun Woo Hyun will take it badly but Woo Hyun shrugs it off
Some silhouette play in this outfit! The idea of a boxy cropped top worn over something fitted works all the time.
Mo Ne is finally taking charge of the hotel’s affairs. She learned from Cha Soo An that Lee Joong Goo is holding an event and is holding an interview with a reporter.
Mo Ne barged in and demanded why she wasn’t informed of this event. After seeing Joong Goo beat Jae Wan the night before, Mo Ne is like a mother hen, ready to defend him. In fact, she’s very vocal about her protective feelings towards Jae Wan in front of the reporter.
It’s all in the details, they say. The outfit looks sleek and simple but the tiny details such as the bow on the champagne top jumps at you. Also love her fresh and wearable make-up!

Mo Ne’s shoes are from Hollyshop, her clutch is from a brand called Toss and her watch is from Cartier.
As for Jae Wan, he’s starting to suspect Baek Mi Nyeo as the person behind that skilful mind game at the restaurant. He tried searching Mi Nyeo’s office but the place is empty.
There’s a new guest and he comes bearing gifts – to Da Jung, that is. He left Da Jung an expensive pair of Cartier earrings, claiming that he was supposed to give it to someone but failed to do so.
Meanwhile, Ah Mo Ne’s remarks to the reporter have just been published. The reporter made it sound like Jae Wan is relying on Mo Ne’s power and position in the company to get by, which didn’t sit well with Jae Wan as he worked hard to build a reliable reputation.
The new guest turned out to be very fussy and didn’t stop complaining until Cha Jae Wan comes in to see him. The guest is Lay Kim, Jae Wan’s former manager at a hotel he and his four friends used to work in.
The news that Jae Wan might end up marrying Mo Ne and rise to the top angered Lay Kim. When Jae Wan showed up, he wasted no time reminding him of what he did to secure a place in Ciel hotel.
Jae Wan did everything to get in the good graces of the then Ciel Hotel CEO, Ah Sung Won. When he saved Sung Won’s life after eating food that he is allergic to, Sung Won was so overcome with gratitude that he decided to scout Jae Wan. Lay Kim knows about this and threatened to expose Jae Wan.
To antagonize Jae Wan, Lay Kim tries to get closer to Mo Ne.
Chae Kyung commanded attention in this lace frock and how could she not? That purple color is just riveting! No wonder Ah Mo Ne looks threatened.
The lace dress if from JJ Jigott (not available online though).
There haven’t been a lot of Woo Hyun scenes as of late so it’s nice that he’s finally getting some more air time! He’s still looking for the painter.
And as expected Woo Hyun is in an edgy but polished garb. I don’t really peg him as the camouflage kind of guy but this look definitely suits him. Also, can you spot the Cunning Single Lady crossover?
As if Chae Kyung’s choice of vivid purple challenged Mo Ne, she donned an equally vibrant color next- this cute red A-line dress. She’s waiting for Jae Wan but when Jae Wan showed up, he didn’t even give her the time of the day.
Get Ah Mo Ne’s Dress:
Neil Barrett Ribbed Dress (red is out of stock but you can still get the black version here)
She is so on a Jae Wan high that even alone, she’s hallucinating that he’s with her. Lol.
To get him to notice her, she called him up and pretended she needed help. Of course, Jae Wan, rushed to her side in record time. But rather than the distressed damsel he was expecting, Mo Ne only needed protecting from mosquitoes.
This striped sweater is definitely something new from Jae Wan. I’m so sick of seeing him in plain cardigans.
Jae Wan’s Sweater is from Vanhart di Albazar.
Jae Wan called Woo Hyun over to discuss a plan. 
The plan is to keep Lay Kim comfortable and happy so he won’t do a lot of complaining again. Lay Kim likes Woo Hyun’s skills so much that he wants to recruit him.
As if Ah Mo Ne’s vibrant personality isn’t obvious enough, she dons this gorgeous yellow jacket and matching yellow shorts. She dined with Lay Kim, who was about to tell her something about Jae Wan’s past.
Ah Mo Ne’s jacket and shorts are from Vivienne Westwood but doesn’t seem to be available online.
Luckily, Chae Kyung saw them and reported it to Jae Wan. He rushed to the restaurant but Mo Ne already left.
The next day, Mo Ne can’t look at Jae Wan straight in the eyes. She’s also back to her favorite color scheme. I’m not a huge fan of the sheer top (it looks too flimsy) but I do love the cropped pants.
Mo Ne’s top and pants are both from Ann Demeulemeester CW4A411AM1.
This country is really so blessed with beautiful mountain views!
When Joong Goo stepped into his office, he found himself listening to a recording. The recording is of him and Jae Wan. He immediately thought it was Jae Wan who planted it there.
Here’s a full look at what Mo Ne wore over the pants and sheer top. The coat has an interesting asymmetrical style structure. This is actually the same coat Cheon Song Yi wore in Episode 20 of You Who Came From The Stars.
After getting the cold shoulder from Mo Ne, Jae Wan went to her. Ah Mo Ne mentioned that he saw him getting hit by Joong Goo.
