One long overdue Korean series I decided to see and I'm taken through a series of reminder with it's full storyline, it's characters and comedy. I've heard so much about this series but I've heard nothing when I sat down to see it, I hope you understand what I mean.
It isn't a very old series compared to one I saw some weeks ago but it isn't recent like the "Queen of Tears" that had us tearing up lol. This series is on it's own one of the good ones to see, a fantasy series and one you'll enjoy.
"Hotel De Luna" is a 2019 series of 16 episodes, one that takes it's viewers back in time and back to the future, to the dead and to life, to sadness and to joy... It's a series of roller coaster feeling, no doubt. At a point, I was laughing when I'm supposed to be crying and scared when I'm supposed to be laughing lol.
After all the many recommendations about this series, I'm finally done with it and I'm only glad I've seen it, not that I wish I had seen it much earlier than I did. I've seen the ones I enjoyed more than it but it doesn't mean I won't recommend this to another and they won't love it.
The storyline goes like... A young woman ,Man Weol who felt wronged totally had slaughtered so many people and in search of a guest moon house, she found it but also became the owner of the place as her life got tired to a moon tree in the guesthouse. For many decades, she lives as the owner changing the names, the style and design of the guesthouse welcoming dead guests until it became Hotel De Luna.
In the present world, she makes a deal with a human intruder and years later, she welcomes her 99th human manager who made her go through hops to bring him to start working for her. From being scared of ghosts to being most useful manager, Ku Chang Su learns of a world outside what he knew before and he also falls in love.
The series shows a good number of ghosts who died wrongly and have to live in the guesthouse hoping for a revenge, some vengeful ghosts who took matters into their own hands and there are ghosts who made special requests and Man Weol made sure to rip off from the rich ones.
What caught my attention most which is very much expected by the writer, is the hotel. It was just a guesthouse, and the owner improved the building decades after decades to suit the present time as she has been there for too many years. It was in her 1300 years that she had it named Hotel De Luna and things began to change for her good although it took a while for her to accept it.
The hotel they used seem like one that really doesn't exist as the characters who came to visit from the human world made it seem but it is one of the hotel they do have and used for the series, I guess. A hotel with an ocean in it? Yeah, I know they take us elsewhere to say they have an ocean in their hotel lol.
The series is good really, the characters will remind of some other good characters too. Like the female lead, Man Weol reminds of the female lead in "It's Okay Not To Be Okay" lol. There are also supporting characters you'll just love as you watch others, they all had good enough screen time to make you love them.
There's more to say about this series but I'll stop here and read from what you think about it if you've seen it or at least read this review. It's a 8/10 from me, I enjoyed the series.
