[Drama 2019] Hotel Del Luna, 호텔 델루나

[kaxx]

A "horror comedy romance", they said. 

Y U make me cry show Y?!

 

I thought I would absolutely hate this ending but surprisingly I didn't. 

Did I LOVE love it? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh not really.

 

Bittersweet? Yup definitely. 

 

But it's Hong Sisters, so I guess I just have to make do. This is the 4th drama I've watched and is considered one of the better endings I've seen from them, apart from Greatest Love.

 

With all that being said, HDL was still fun and I really enjoyed reading everyone's posts here. It was just so much fun and snickering/giggling (cannot laugh loudly in office hello) and furiously typing away on my mobile. 

 

I was telling my husband that they'll meet in his next life time, but he stopped me and said "Its gonna take longer."

 

My face legit paled.

 

Me: Whaddya mean longer? If CS has a long life, give or take 90 years old, (he was said to have a long long life) then MW can likely go through 1 cycle and would prolly be able to meet CS on HIS next life already.

 

"What makes you think MW don't have to go through more? YW and MR had 1 moment of attraction 1300 years ago and went through countless rebirth to become man and wife."

 

Me: But - 

 

"Even CS wasn't able to guarantee they will meet up in the next life. He used the word "some"  (as in some other lifetime.)"

 

Me: But -

 

"It might take another 1300 years. You know right?"

 

Me: You also know you are going to sleep on the living room couch tonight right?

 

*silence*

This is why I asked about this in an earlier post because CS did say that it will really take long, and I would have been ok with them parting in this life, but for them to wait long, that's just sad. So I like CS's imagination where MW came early but it seems like that's not what's really going to happen based on what CS said about the time it takes for reincarnation, and what the Hong sisters are now saying about the show. 

 

It's sad isn't it? I'm going to try to not think about it so much.

I agree.... it's still sad to me. Even if CS moves on.

 

Titanic's Rose moved on, Captain America's Peggy Carter moved on, but still it is just so sad.

It's my wish too. If those day someone like Mr. Darcy is the best match, but now we have Goo Chan Sung as perfect dream man.

 

I know, right?^^ Now, someone needs to top Chan Sung as the best male lead...HAHA...

We know that it is a happy ending for the dead soul. It's just our heart doesn't want to accept the fact.

 

MW feel the true love for a short moment, and she become greedy even in her final moment she wish to have a longer time with CS.

 

MW:  Chan Seong. I've pondered... countless times what I should tell you... if this moment ever came.

"I'm sorry."

"Thank you."

"Have a good life."

I came up with a lot of cool stuff to tell you. Now that it's time, my mind went blank. I just...

I keep wanting to stay with you. I keep wanting to see you. And I don't want to leave you behind here.

I'm the one who can't stay strong. When I'm the weak one, I pretended to be strong in front of you. I even made it impossible for you... to stop me from leaving. I'm sorry.

 

Hong's sister, do you think we able to move on with this lovely couple. I just hope both of them could make an appearance in another drama same as Jung So Min and Seo In Guk (The Smile Has Left Your Eyes) appeared in Abyss. At least we could see them again after re-incarnation.

I dudn't like Chan Sung being left behind because it hit close to home in a way. I had lost a dear friend a little more than a year back. Those who have passed away will move on as they should....those left behind have the burden to deal with it, make peace with it, hold on to the bitter sweet memories and get used to a world that suddenly does not have their loved ones. Its a heavy, heavy burden....the end was a tad bit too realistic for a fantasy setting....who knows after how many lifetime they would meet again....It had to be Chan Sung though....only he has the strength in his soul to bear this heavy pain without letting it consume him im bitterness and darkness....the pain it takes to move forward without your loved ones and living your life....by the fantasy world of HDL, he would have a great fortune in his next lifetime so here's hoping he finds his way back to Man Wol in his next life...and with this I say goodbye to this forum....enjoyed the show and the forum immensely...thanks a ton people...see you all in another thread

Naughty god 

Get rid of old 1300 woman get fresh hot guy 

 

 

Spoiler

Here is my new roommate  I just forget his name & adress so you sisters couldn’t try with him behind my back  

 

 

 

 

@lightbringer06  he need secretary right

[Latte_Anyday]

Not sure what to make of the finale except for one word : Tears. Lots & lots of tears I think the reason why Man-Weol/Chan-Sung's relationship doesn't resonate with me is because it was so..chaste LoL? 

   As annoying as they were, I felt more for Hyun-Joong/Yoon-Ah.. They really were cringe as a couple but yea when they had to separate.. The flood gates opened 

   The separation scenes were personal for me as I lost my mom just last December~ it's been 9 months but I think of her daily... My dad passed 15+ years earlier & both of them stay in my thoughts. Yes while I move on or try to, it (the thought/loss of your loved ones) never leaves you.. People are always telling me to not grieve too much. Which is easier said than done. They'd always be apart of me. 

   Overall I hope the ending scene of ep. 16 implies that there's a continuation to these series. I find stories on afterlife fascinating as very little is known of it. I only hope that a Hotel Del Luna awaits for me when my time comes. 

 

Well, it has been fun. As always I wish y'all blessings & happiness. Until the next drama, take care!

So did the interview made with Hong sisters improved my view of the drama ending... not...

 

So now MW was just a ghost...when earlier she really thought she was alive and just tied to the tree, undead... now u say she is actually a ghost?? 

 

If u wanna make CS make her leave, to go to the otherside, then dont let CS fall in love with her and vice versa.... why make CS suffer? what did he ever do in his life, except to be so nice to everyone else and in the end, you make a mess of his love life???? 

 

Aigooo... i want justice for CS's love life.... hahhahaa

Ok, where is that BTS of ep15 and 16, i wanna see skinships!

ok, scrap that.. he is going to be a rich hotelier in NY... and miserable in his love life as he will forever see MW in his dream and ghosts in his daily life until death..... happy now Hong Sisters????? Urgh...

 

[berny2]

Well again i differ, sorry Hong sisters i don't buy any of that. 

 

Now that i know how you operate i will avoid dramas written by you in the future. Nothing personal, but it's just that once i get disappointed it really sticks...even for 1,300 years.

But on the brighter side they will meet again. Time is indeterminate. For humans time may go slower but for the souls it may just seem like yesterday they parted and met again.

Punch did well singing the song. But I am still partial to Taeyeon's version  I want to hear IU's verison. I hope she sings a little snippet sometime in the future

It is sad to us but like they said this was the story about Jang Man Wol who has been trapped here for 1300 years. She finally attained peace and was able to move to the after life. We should be happy for her.

 

Let's think positively where one chapter ends another begins. Her soul will be back and she will find CS's soul. CS reincarnated many times before meeting MW this time around and look at the love they were able to share in this short time span. I have no doubt the next time they met they will have a longer time together and create a family together and live happily.

I'm so glad you said this because I forgot. Thanks! It's comforting.

Don't be too upset. CS is strong. He will move on. He's not the type to let sorrow overwhelm him. He knows he has to move on and live a good life so he can be granted to meet MW again in a future next life. He also knows that MW wouldn't want to see him not living his life.

 

As to why CS had to be the one to help MW move on, I still firmly believed they were destined for each other but due to circumstances MW sort of got stuck at the Moon Inn. So CS had to go and rescue her.

 

It may take some time but they made a promise to be together again and they will.

 

 

 

I am also excited to see the bts. I have a feeling we are going to see poor IU crying even after the director yells cut for all the farewell scenes. I can see YJG trying to cheer people up by cracking silly jokes.
