The interns navigate the demanding environment of Yongcheonru, the most prestigious inn in Joseon, facing challenges from disgruntled guests, strict supervisors, and the inherent complexities of the inn's operations. Prince Lee Eun, despite his attempts at anonymity, finds his royal lineage constantly drawing unwanted attention. He must carefully conceal his identity while navigating the social and political undercurrents of Joseon. Hong Deok-soo excels in posing as a man, impressing her superiors with her intelligence and dedication. However, she grapples with the constant fear of exposure and the limitations imposed upon women in Joseon. Cheon Jun-hwa, initially resistant, gradually finds himself drawn to the challenges of the inn and the camaraderie he develops with his fellow interns. He begins to question his pre-conceived notions and find a new sense of purpose. And Go Soo-ra, driven by ambition, excels in his duties, earning the respect of his superiors. However, his single-minded focus begins to strain his relationships and cloud his judgment.
