The movie starts out at a slow pace, with both Haley & Andy living their separate, mundane lives. She's a shampoo girl at a salon and he is bottom on the totem pole at a hotel. Both have dreams of more, but lack the confidence and drive to attain it. And both are a little childish emotionally. Haley & Andy's initial meet cute, interactions, and dating are so awkward. The acting wasn't great in these scenes. I actually thought the movie was dubbed in English for the first several minutes. I guess some awkwardness makes sense though, because both are lying about their jobs. They want to appear to be successful, when they are not.
Andy and Haley fall fast for each other. Then his hotel supervisor finds out he has been spending company money on Haley. The supervisor calls Andy out on it, in front of her. She gets upset over being lied to & ghosts Andy. The nerve? Haley lied to him too, so she has no right to be so angry. Andy finds out her lies later. He tells her that they need to learn to love who they really are, before they can love each other. Andy then is fired from his hotel job. He is very lucky that the owner is a family friend, who doesn't send him to jail for company fraud. He DID spend 20k of the hotel's money!!!
Andy & Haley stay apart and work for months on their own goals. He wants to start his own hotel and she wants a spa. After 14 months, his hotel opens and he makes sure to include a space for her spa. They meet again at his opening. Even after this long period, they still have each other's hearts.
