mmm...if i had to guess i'd say Bae Yong Jun and two other guys aren't coming back. Unless one comes back as a ghost or in flash backs.

Well, she seems to be an assistant manager in the room(s?) division. There will be a manager in that division above her. Above that manager, there is the general manager. Only then do we get to the president. Thinking hierarchically, if there is one representative of the personnel at the president's sickbed, it should be the general manager, not an ass't mgr of the room(s?) division.
As to the dinner, why is an ass't mgr of the room(s?) division active at all in the restaurant? Why does she enter the kitchen? Why does she talk to the head cook? Shouldn't any problems be handled by the restaurant staff?
All of this can be accepted in the Korean version, simply because Song Yoon-ah, who plays the character, is (well, was) about 30, that is, almost 10 years older than Aya Ueto now. So, everything can be explained with history; SYA having worked in the hotel for 10 years or so, she knows everybody, she can talk to everybody. AU looks like she was employed last month. Not her fault, of course, but...

not sure what you mean by the japanese guy and the two others being in seoul..cant really remember that scene

This is just what I meant by "rushed". Odagiri meeting Mizusawa in Seoul is important because of what is yet to happen in Tokyo. But the scene is done so quickly that, apparently, it can be missed altogether.

anyway, since when did dramas have to be realistic to the point where they have to be accurate in terms of real life.

No, they don't have to. But people still have to have reasons for what they do.Odagiri and Ogata do have reasons for being in Seoul - what are Mizusawa's?

It seems I was fooled, big time, by Seiichi Tanabe's youthful looks. According to Drama Wiki, he was born in 1969. That makes him, in fact, the same age as Kim Seung-woo, who played the part in the Korean version back in 2001.
Let's think. In the Korean version, the two characters (played by Song Yoon-ah and Kim Seung-woo, respectively) were about the same age and used to, in fact, date before the KSW character's abrupt departure. One subplot is this old - interrupted - romance.
In the Japanese version, there is a comparatively huge age gap of almost 20 years (between Tanabe and Aya Ueto.) This probably means that the old-romance subplot has been dropped...

i've liked this drama since i saw the 1st episode... i thought it was going to be one of those boring, draggy shows...which is why i didn't want to watch it at first... but it's really good.. can't wait for eps.5 subs!
..and that Oikawa Mitsuhiro.... <3 <3 I luv him and his character!!!
he looks a lot better than he did in Nodame^-^ (quite a few actors from Nodame are in this drama, i see)
...the actor who plays Ogata is the sempai in Kimi wa petto, ne? still don't like him..dunno why^^;

I just started this drama yesterday, and I've already gone through all 5 episodes. This one is terrific! I feel bad that I didn't start watching sooner.
Oikawa Mitsuhiro just steals the show. Mizusawa was probably my favorite character by the end of the first episode! I'm not sure how anybody could have missed his introduction to Kyoko either. It stood out to me, as did the bit when she got her purse stolen and ended up in his car.
Admittedly, I haven't seen the original Kdrama, but I rather enjoyed not knowing exactly why Mizusawa and Kikuchi were in Seoul in the first episode. It's kinda like we get to learn about him at the same time that Kyoko does (whereas we know Ogata's reason to be there, simply because Kyoko already knows it). It doesn't strike me as an odd place for Mizusawa to be, as he travels all over the world generally. For the most part he seems to have just finished a job and is relaxing while waiting for the next job offer.

I think I liked him a little better in Kimi wa Petto. He's a good actor, but I don't find Ogata to be quite as developed or as set up for viewer sympathy as Mizusawa. So Tanabe's basically playing second fiddle again, but with fewer cute moments.
Those subs went up fast for episode 5!
