Question: Many Cantonese dramas titles contains the suffix 風雲. Examples include:

* 法外風雲 TVB
* 酒店風雲 Korean

What does it even mean? 
A google translate gives:

* Outrage Situation ( Makes sense)
* Hotel Situation?? What does this mean?

I believe there is another meaning. If there is, what is it? Obviously, apart from wind cloud. If not, could you explain 'Hotel Situation'?

Answer: 
See [http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/風雲](http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%A2%A8%E9%9B%B2) . Just as 山水 (shān shuǐ) literally means mountain-water and in fact means a landscape painting, wind-cloud is a figurative term for storm. 

In these tv shows it means a stormy dramatic situation.

The actual hotel <http://www.sunsweet.com.tw/room04.html> uses "mountain-water-hotel" to mean a hotel as beautiful and restful as as a classical landscape. So 酒店風雲 means the show is about dramatic situations in a hotel. More fun to watch on tv than to stay at!
Existing answers are well written. I deem that you may render it "romance" (=legend) or even simply "story".
