Well, I would still prefer that unreleased handkerchief Moon Lovers alternate ending but I take this too. I'm really curious whether it will be some ML meta (I mean forget that there is so much ML meta already in the drama), Hong Sisters are known for some awesome cameos but also for some utterly wasted and forgettable (like JGS in Hwayugi). So fingers crossed we get the former.

 

 

cameo OMG 

does he become the ghost? or cleaner? or tree? ops just a wild guess since i'm not even start watching HDL  LUNCH BREAK pali!

First Impressions: Hotel Del Luna

http://www.dramapanda.com/2019/07/first-impressions-hotel-del-luna.html

It's much darker and complicated than I ever expected which is a nice surprise, giving us a fashionista of a cold soul that's self-deprecating when it comes to her existence and a young man scared to his core from the frightful ghosts he can now see. It's the characters themselves that make this feel like a dark comedy of sorts with noir components due to the supernatural elements and as a result, we get a unique series. The intricacies presented in relation to Man-Wol from the very start add to the mysticism and the idea of destiny which forms a connection between our main leads.

 

 The revelations of Man-Wol's past makes the show more interesting as she's shrouded with an air of opulence in the present, a striking contrast to what we see her as in the beginning of the pilot episode. There's no confusion or guessing as to how Man-Wol became the owner but rather what prompts her to travel far distances to a mythical house that's only rumoured to exist, so we're left to guess the why aspect. She's an individual that's unique in the sense that there's a constant countenance of indefinite sorrow from having lived so long and having to emotionally detach herself from humans in order to continue existing without really living. Her slight obsession and single determination to have Chan-Seong as head Manager of her hotel seems a little odd considering her personality but it goes to show how much she needs someone else at her side.

 

What I absolutely adore about the show is the direction the Writes and production team have taken in portraying the supernatural-fantasy elements with a modern twist. The hotel itself looks like it came right out of The Great Gatsbybut each of its rooms is unique and designed for its individual occupants, one door may lead to an actual beach while another to wintry mountains, or a library large enough to hold every single book in existence. The journey to the afterlife requires souls to cross an actual bridge, driven there by 'heaven's' car once a Grim Reaper comes to accompany them. It's all these instances that make the show extremely fun to watch and open to endless possibilities of the imagination. 

 

Even the more intentional supernatural elements that are vital to the drama's plot are noteworthy. Man-Wol's sword which she uses to exact her revenge is engraved with 'Full Moon' being engulfed by a mystical tree which is the foundation and central 'heart' of the guest house/hotel. The sword isn't hers (most likely considering the information we're given so far) but it captures her life's essence and deepens the bonds Man-Wol and Chan-Seong have since the tree comes to life and bears flowers in the presence of Chan-Seong and his father. The tree is otherwise lifeless and I somehow get the feeling that it's a direct reflection of Man-Wol's soul and Chan-Seong's past life. I like how the show can be unpredictable with the daily operations of the hotel and its guests but the nuances when it comes to the core supernatural story, is compelling and distinctively drawn out for us to interpret. And this gives us a change of pace to what we've been getting lately with a lot of other K-dramas so this series is clearly out to shake the drama world along with the fashion industry.

 

A magical world full of imagination and ghosts, Hotel Del Luna is unique in style and tone, full of charms and concepts of life and death with clear conditions. The visuals are stunning with a sprinkle of spookiness and conflicting characters to keep you thoroughly entertained.

Release Date: July 13, 2019 (Eng Sub available on Viki)

I'm finally caught up. Haven't got the time to watch episode 2, so I've been avoiding this thread so I don't get any spoilers. Lol. 

I am loving the drama so far and soo looking forward to what is going to happen between Ku Chan Sung and Jang Man Wol. Especially JML's story of what happened to her.

 

The ghost aren't that scary. Honestly, I think Master's Sun was more scary. Lol.

YAY!! So glad to see our Moon Lovers together, but yes, like @nurlayla said, I'm afraid that he'll be a ghost, too and most likely he will be.

[Yinye]

Yey I'm on-board with this reunion and episode 3 will break ratings for sure lol. Maybe he'll play her past lover or the previous life of the main guy etc.

Daebak! I'm like roaming in the website. Lol. 

It's just like Fifty Shades of Grey, when the movie was going to come out, a website was created to hire workers for Christian Grey's company. One of my friend applied on there and she never heard back. Lol.

Intresting analysis. May contain possible spolier though it is just the creator speculation.

I call this  "Amantes De(l) Luna "  (Moon Lovers)   JK 

 (Please excuse my corny joke.)

[Yana Mujay]

God bless to everyone who's always think good though and kind deeds even there's always some salty people dunno how to grateful with they've been  blessed

For the haters who's always spite full toward LJE/IU.or YJG.hello...we appreciate you're opinion but please stop, We just have 2 episodes with amazing breakthrough and it will be tremendous in comings to wait, so stop promoting your actor /actress to replace the Lead when there's no points to talk about..it's end, keep that's imaginations for yourself.

Both carry the Shows with theirs top performance so stop downgrades HDL

 Does so hard be a wise person you don't favour something just don't watch it.

Leave the Shows to many who's appreciated.

Speaking of which, I think it was intentional that they have Lee JunKi  as guest/ cameo in this drama.

It's kinda bit not surprising that he'll do a cameo because of  the  "moon" reference. Lee Junki played as IU's love interest in Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo and he's also IU's close friend.

 

The Hong Sisters are known in making references,  puns and metaphors and having famous celebrity cameos in their dramas.

 

Also about the fish appearance in episode 2, It's the fish that ManWol ate.

The fish she ate is called "opah" or moonfish 

 

 

 

the fish name "opah"  almost the same spelling and pronunciation/sound  of "oppah/oppa" (Hangeul/Korean term/word that females calling their boyfriend  and also a term that females calling their older male  sibling or their older male close friend) And the color of the fish is scarlet. 

It's possible this is one of the clues or hints that foreshadows Lee Junki  is cameoing  in this drama.

 

Speaking about comedian/gagman  Kim JunHyun appearing in posters, i think it's related to this commercial:

Talking about the moon does sailormoon is another reference as JMW life and love story? When the fish could bring such meaning clue I think so do KSH last visited to HDL filming site...waaa..we would have so many good looking guys as Oppa cameo
