Hotel Del Luna

hotel del luna

hotel del luna was just what i needed after doom at your service. iu as an amazing hotel owner with kickass fashion sense and yeo jin gu as a goofy cutie pie.

i. perfect example of started this show for the guy and continued for the girl. as much as i loved ku chan seong, jang man weol was an all rounder package, truly. she was sparkly, beautiful, vulnerable, soldier, warrior, fighter, lover all in one. ku chan seong, an amazing character which allowed man weol to shine so much while keeping her in check? definition of man written by women.

ii. our little hotel del luna family, beginning from mr. noh, ji hyun joon, ms. choi, mr. kim, chan seong, yu na and man weol, gave me so many feels. loved how truly deep man weol's bond with each of them went. she's not truly heartless, after all.

iii. loved how each individual character, from sanchez to every hotel staff was explored so in depth and beautifully, in a way that never felt forced. it all flowed in a very natural way that never makes you want to fast forward to the main characters.

iv. what was up with ma go. genuinely did not understand the sisters. also, faced an important question - does the interior of the hotel change with the current trend, man weol's financial status or the blooming of the flowers? because we saw the interior being the same when they shifted, despite the house being cheaper.

v. the friendship between each character. like the time when the staff finally involved chan seong in their "hwaiting!" thing, or when man weol was the only one who could convince hyun joon to meet his enemy. the end scene between ms. choi and man weol was so wholesome and made me cry more than man weol and chan seong. even man weol and mr. kim love-hate relationship was so cute. sanchez and his kindheartedness, my heart broke for the guy with veronica.

overall, this drama was a perfect fantasy show, enough to keep you intrigued. the main leads have everything, from chemistry, banter, fights, jokes and sharing power dynamic.

reasons to watch hotel del luna

someone asked me - instead of the 60 item long list of kdramas you have, would you want to watch a deeply caffeinated man who's haunted by his past doesn't eat sleeps in a bag irritated by co-workers kicks in classes charismatic but hated widely and a single aunt mom who is a former national handball player and runs the nation's best?

and i said yes.

your honour it's not my fault my fictional bad boy slays girlbosses gatekeeps gaslights harder than the main character

the inheritors (the heirs)

i faced my true beauty trauma.

Pathetic caffeinated wet cat of a man is the most accurate description of choi chi yeol till date.

crash course in romance has the lead couple insult each other ('i wouldn't feel comfortable sending my girl to your house' 'what's that supposed to mean', 'you can't trust the sly and clever type ', 'you don't understand the influence i have' *dramatic hand tremor* etc) even while they agree to basically ally for the sake of free food and good education for her daughter. AND from the outside you see them as this gorgeous chaotic small restaurant owner with inhumane speed and the most pathetic caffeinated wet cat of a man in existence, five minutes away from fainting right there and then. they're amazing
