‘Check In Hanyang’ Bae In-hyeok, Kim Ji-eun, Jung Gun-joo, and Park Jae-chan transform into the Joseon Dynasty‘s best hotel ‘Hoteliers’ and attract attention.

Channel A’s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Check In Hanyang’ (written by Park Hyun-jin/directed by Myung Hyun-woo/co-produced and invested by PONY CANYON) will premiere on Saturday, December 21 at 7:50 PM. ‘Check In Hanyang’ is a coming-of-age romance historical drama that tells the story of Joseon‘s largest guest house ‘Yongcheonru’, which raised the arrogant motto, ‘The customer is king’, and the young Joseon people who joined the place as educational servants.

Meanwhile, on November 13, ‘Check In Hanyang’ production team focused attention by revealing a ‘Hotelier Poster’ with the guest room signs featuring the four servants of Joseon’s largest guest house, Yongcheonru: Bae In-hyeok (Lee Eun-ho/Prince Muyeong Lee Eun), Kim Ji-eun (Hong Deok-soo), Jung Gun-joo (Chun Jun-hwa), and Park Jae-chan (Go Soo-ra). In a modern-day hotel, a ‘gukju’, these people who have become ‘servants’, who can be called hoteliers, arouse curiosity.

The ‘gukpates’ in the posters are items that replace ‘hotel keys’ in modern hotels. The idea of replacing modern hotel items and systems with Joseon Dynasty versions is eye-catching. Beneath the large room cards where the four main characters are placed, the smaller room cards have the numbers ‘2024’, ‘1221’, and ‘1950’. These contain information about ‘Check-In Hanyang’, which will be first broadcast at 7:50 PM on December 21, 2024, and provide the fun of discovering the details.

Above all, the bright smiles of the four hoteliers inside the room cards make the viewers feel good. These hoteliers, who have transformed into servants equipped with kindness for the guests staying at the inn, are raising curiosity about what kind of customer satisfaction service they will provide at Yongcheonru.

In addition, the phrase ‘The Smart Hotelier Life of the Haona Four People’ located in the middle of the poster raises the question of why these four people are called the ‘The Haona Four People’. The four people who shout ‘Haona’ at every little thing that goes against the rules of Yongcheonru have become the ‘The Haona Four People’. Indeed, one wonders why they shouted ‘Haona’ at Yongcheonru, and whether they will be able to wisely continue their life at Yongcheonru and become official servants.

Meanwhile, Channel A‘s new drama ‘Check In Hanyang’, which is raising expectations for the world of ‘Yongcheonru’ and the activities of the four people with the release of the hotelier poster, is scheduled to premiere on Saturday, December 21 at 7:50 PM, and will be exclusively available on Lemino in Japan.
