The best K-dramas are the ones with a well-told story and a satisfying ending. It has to have both and after finishing Hotel Del Luna this weekend I believe it achieves that mark and viewers agree, piling on the eyeballs for the final episode 16 to help it reach 12.001% ratings. The story was ultimately all about the ghostly management … Continue reading →
Woah mommy and daddy combined levels of star power rolled into one. tvN drama Hotel Del Luna has broke 10% ratings already and generally averaged in the 8-9% range, a really great showing and probably the best Hong Sisters drama in years in both ratings and reviews. It’s brought in the wins without the big name star power, honestly IU … Continue reading →
Man, I was a mess of tears this weekend watching both episodes 13 and 14 of Hotel Del Luna. It’s all Chung Myung related because I just feel sooooooo awful for Lee Do Hyun’s character and his 1300 years of flitting around that tree as a firefly keeping watch over IU’s Man Wol. And if she had just called his … Continue reading →
Sorry I haven’t written about Hotel Del Luna in depth for the last three weeks, I’ve been traveling and the drama did feel more like a case of the week type story in recent episodes. At least until this weekend’s episodes 13-14, which form the set up episodes leading into next weekend’s big finale and goodness I am so pumped … Continue reading →
tvN fantasy drama Hotel Del Luna is slowing down a bit for me, not as sticky fun to watch as the first 6 episodes were right out of the gate. But unlike the Hong Sisters last drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odysessy) it hasn’t devolved into nonsensical frustrating plot developments which I appreciate, it’s sticking to the core story of Man … Continue reading →
Things have coalesced in Hotel Del Luna as it hits the midway of its run, with episode 8 revealing a lot of what happened in the past with IU‘s Jang Man Wol. She was betrayed by not so cutie anymore Chun Myung and poor Yeon Woo died, and she ended up slicing bitch princess Song Hua and putting on her … Continue reading →
Expectation is often the enemy of satisfaction, when we think too highly of something before sampling it then it tends to seem less than stellar simply because it could not match up to our hopes. I had zero expectation of tvN drama Hotel Del Luna especially after how much the Hong Sisters burned me with their last fantasy drama Hwayugi … Continue reading →
It can actually go both ways, Yeo Jin Gu‘s modern day hotel manager character in Hotel Del Luna could be the reincarnation of IU‘s romantic interest from her humanly life in the Gorguyeo era or just someone seeing their memories but exists to help her left go now by making her fall in love again. I wasn’t fully onboard with … Continue reading →
I am so so so freaking insanely in love with tvN drama Hotel Del Luna. This is wild love, and of the type that is coupled with appreciation for the wonderful characters and writing in the collective world building. I already teared up in episode 2 when IU‘s hotel manager retired and then promptly went to the great beyond. Now … Continue reading →
The colors, the visuals, the chemistry, everything is daebak with top star Lee Jun Ki‘s cameo appearance in his good friend and former costar IU‘s new drama Hotel Del Luna. I love these types of cameos, like the perfect bon bon with a one bite burst of onscreen squee. Lee Jun Ki plays a priest and one is definitely needed … Continue reading →
I’ve got a new crack drama and thy name is Hotel Del Luna. With tempered expectations I clicked watch on the first episode and finished over an hour later wondering where the time went having been riveted from the first scene to the last. I like IU and am just ok with Yeo Jin Gu so it wasn’t the leads … Continue reading →
Welcome to the Hotel Del Luna, you can check in but you can’t check out. Oh wait, you probably can’t check in since it’s for the supernatural beings only. The drama released the official poster to start off the week showing all the leads together in the lobby of their art deco and slightly run down hotel. See the cobwebs … Continue reading →
When I see a full moon shot I get the urge to breakout into Memory from Cats, dating myself of course lol. The upcoming Hotel Del Luna is all about the moon motif from the title to the supernatural beings that run, work at, and inhabit the titular hotel for the ghostly. They can only come out at night so … Continue reading →
