Curtain Call         [new to US; complete season 1]         (12:01 am, Hulu)

Ja Geum Soon (Go Doo Shim) was born in 1930 in what is now North Korea. 
When the Korean War broke out in the 1950s, she escaped to what is now 
South Korea - and was torn away from her husband and young child. She 
dreamed of being reunited with them, so she founded a hotel that she 
hoped would become a metaphorical lighthouse - and bring her lost family 
back to her. This hotel became the successful Nakwon hotel chain. Now, 
Ja Geum Soon is approaching the end of her life, and she dreams of being 
reunited with the grandson she has never met: Im Moon Sung. Her 
ever-faithful assistant Jung Sang Cheol (Sung Dong Il) hatches a plan to 
help bring peace to the old woman before she dies - he will hire an 
actor to pose as Im Moon Sung. He seeks out Yoo Jae Heon (Kang Ha Neul), 
a struggling stage actor who has been playing a North Korean soldier in 
a theater performance. Yoo Jae Heon agrees. He is told to pose as a 
defector who has come to visit the old woman for a while before 
attempting to return to the North. However, it soon appears that he has 
bitten off more than he can chew. He also crosses paths with Park Se 
Yeon (Ha Ji Won), Ja Geum Soon's granddaughter - the woman who is 
running Nakwon...and has vowed not to allow it to fall into anyone 
else's hands! 2022 Korean series; 16 episodes.
