One of the best blends of fantasy and romance K-Dramas.
Story:Enthralling story that is well-paced throughout the entire show. A visually pleasing background with the story is one of the main things that you'll see in the show.
The story is one that I find to be captivating, but it does feel a little confusing at moments.
Perfect for people who are interested in a simple, gentle romance alongside a fantasy story.
Acting/Cast:
Amazing acting by the main cast, nothing to complain about here.
Music:
10/10 OST playlist. Anything by Punch is guaranteed a 99% chance to be a banger.
Rewatch Value:
This is one of the shows that I may rewatch for the funny scenes, but not much of a re-watcher myself.

Original storyline and fantasy
I rarely enjoy imaginary stories and acts, however, this drama was just way too aesthetically pleasing and pretty that I couldn't help but finish it all. I remember watching it and waiting for the upcoming episodes impatiently.I'd lie if I say I wasn't surprised by Yeo Jin-goo's acting; the role he had in this drama was so sensitive and I am so happy by the outcome.
We can't forget IU's costumes and how expensive she looked througout the entire drama.
I want to talk about the beautiful OSTs that were brought up by this, below are only some of them (my fav):
- Taeyeon (태연) - A Poem Called You 그대라는 시
- Heize (헤이즈) - Can You See My Heart 내 맘을 볼수 있나요
- Chung Ha (청하) - At The End 그 끝에 그대
- Song Haye (송하예) - Say Goodbye
- Gummy (거미) - Remember Me 기억해줘요 내 모든 날과 그때를
- Ben (벤) - Can You Hear Me 내 목소리 들리니
- Yang Da Il (양다일) - Only You 너만 너만 너만

#HotelDelLuna (호텔델루나) Review:
1) This drama is just an honest drama. I didn't prepare much on what to say. But I really like every piece of content in it.
2) Topnotch IU visuals (my bb). 🥺💙
3) It took time to finish it because I'm savoring all those episodes. And I was in-between watching and doing something else entirely so that's why.
4) IU visuals and some life screencaps below ⬇️

The best
I recently embarked on a captivating journey through the world of Hotel del Luna As the closing credits rolled, I found myself both elated and wistful—grateful for the emotional rollercoaster I had just ridden.
The first thing that struck me was the sheer **awesomeness** of this drama. From start to finish, it held me in its tender embrace, refusing to let go. The plot unfolded like a delicate origami, revealing layers of complexity and depth. Every episode left me hungry for more, and I eagerly pressed the "next" button, eager to unravel the mysteries that lay ahead.
**The Acting**: Ah, the performances! They were nothing short of **spellbinding**. The actors breathed life into their characters, making them feel like old friends. Their expressions, their nuances—each gesture resonated with authenticity. I laughed with them, cried with them, and occasionally shouted at my screen in frustration when they faced obstacles. It's a testament to their talent that I felt so deeply connected.
And let's talk about the **OST**. It was a symphony of emotions—a companion that underscored every poignant moment. The haunting melodies lingered in my mind even after the credits faded. Whether it was a heart-wrenching breakup scene or a stolen kiss under the moonlight, the music elevated the drama to celestial heights.
Now, I must address the naysayers—the ones who dismissed Hotel del Luna as "boring" or "awful." To them, I say: **Watch it again.** Sometimes, beauty lies in subtlety. Perhaps they missed the delicate brushstrokes that painted the canvas of this drama. Or maybe they failed to recognize the quiet power of a stolen glance, a shared memory, or a tearful confession. But I implore them to give it another chance—to peel back the layers and discover the hidden gems.
**Emotion**—that's the heartbeat of this drama. It wrapped itself around me like a warm blanket on a chilly night. The characters' joys became my own; their sorrows etched lines on my heart. When they triumphed, I cheered; when they stumbled, I held my breath. And when love blossomed against all odds, I felt it deep within my soul.
In a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain, Del luna offered solace. It reminded me that love, friendship, and resilience can mend even the most shattered hearts. As the final scene played out, I wiped away tears and whispered a silent thank you to the creators—for crafting a tale that transcended mere entertainment.
So, my fellow viewers, don't merely take my word for it. Dive into Hotel del Luna with an open heart. Let its warmth seep into your bones, and allow its magic to envelop you. For me, it was more than a drama; it was a **balm for the soul**, a reminder that beauty exists even in the mundane.
In conclusion, this drama was not just awesome—it was a **masterpiece**. And as I bid farewell to its characters, I carry their stories with me, etched alongside my own. Thank you, Del luna, for the tears, the laughter, and the unforgettable moments.

Even some actors I fell in love with at first, but once they hit it big, they seem stagnant or disengaged from acting as they move from one project to another. She certainly held her own against acclaimed actor Yeo Jin Goo (who is good as always), and she even shone more because Jang Man Weol is a role of a lifetime.
The relationship of JMW and KCS was what I wished IOTNBO romance to be with the tortured heroine and good hearted hero, albeit I wished they had more romantic chemistry like IOTNBO leads, then it would have been perfect.
I really love the role reversal here. YJG even have that tropey damsel in distress scene, he puts himself in danger, and JMW has to save him all the time lol. The cases are otherworldly but heartfelt, and tackle how we all deal with the pains of grief, forgiveness, acceptance, and letting go.
Spoilers to follow:
The ending was sad, but it actually fits with the message of the drama, and I appreciate that the overall outlook the drama wants to leave is still hopeful and positive, despite all the goodbyes. I would have loved if it ended with JMW on the bridge to the afterlife looking back, happy and fulfilled, with no more burdens. The drama is balanced overall, but Jang Man Weol is Hotel Del Luna, and it is she who we will remember it by.

Just wonderful show with good acting
one of my favorite dramas and my favorite. There are lots of exciting, sad and touching scenes in this drama. I like ML and FL they are very cute and compact. The other characters in this drama are also very good. One of the dramas that I like is the side characters. there are not many dramas that I like apart from the main character but this drama is different I like almost all the characters in this character. One thing that still makes me think is the ending which is a bit of a cliffhanger even though the director of this drama has confirmed that at the end of the drama it was just ML's dream (not reality) but I really like this drama. I didn't skip any scenes, instead I repeated a lot of funny scenes between ML and FL, especially when FL was jealous of ML. I give this drama a high rating. don't forget the soundtrack of this drama is all very good 10/10.Cet avis était-il utile?
One of my favorite 2019
10++++ really didnt want it go end hope they'll be a 2nd season. Previously finished and forgot to review this amazing drama. I have not seen one like it. It funny, sad, full of mystery and of course the scify part being able to see and talk to ghost helping them crossover peacefully. I was always waiting for the next episode. The cast choice couldn't of been selected. You could feel the chemistry beginning with Jang man wool and goo Chan sung. He never gave up on her and found out what happened 1000years ago and how his family is involved..What a way to end. This has been so far one of my favorite drama around for 2019.
A must see for all. 👍🏻

right dose of humor and mystery!
Hotel Del Luna is an incredible drama and has everything a good drama needs to have!Starting with the story, which is extremely complex and full of layers, especially the protagonist's story, highlighting the way the story unfolds, the variations between past and present are incredible and leave us wanting more.
The performances are great and all the characters seem to have enough time to develop their stories, but the one that stands out the most for me is IU's performance, maybe it could be because this was the first time I saw her acting but her performance It was incredible and surprised me, it certainly deserved the starring role.
Therefore, Hotel Del Luna is a great drama to recommend, the doses of humor and mystery work great together.
It definitely made my list of best dramas!!

Not horrible.
This drama would've been heaps better had they focused on Man Wol's story. It was compelling and got me interested in the drama. But they didn't spend as much time as I would've liked. I'm okay with the backstory of the other ghosts in the hotel, they were cool and I liked them enough. But I spent a lot of my time just wondering when they'll get back to addressing Man Wol's origin.I also didn't feel attached to the male lead. It's not a slight to Yeo Jin Goo at all, but he didn't have any chemistry with IU, at least in my eyes. I liked Lee Do Hyun better.
IU was awesome though, as usual. She's a fantastic actress.
Overall, will I rewatch this drama? Probably not. I haven't found myself wanting to, not even for a specific scene. It's not horrible, not bad, but not great. The emotional moments didn't hit as hard as I wanted them to, and I didn't get attached to a lot of the characters. I don't remember any standouts from the OST either, but it didn't annoy me.

Visually beautiful, but slow plot
Mixed feelings about this drama.The good:
1) IU's acting is so good! I'm a huge fan. The heart of this show is, without a doubt, IU. She stole every scene she was in. I also loved her outfits. I really felt for her - her past and current self.
2) Main plot was really solid. The flashbacks to the past, Jang Man-wol's past, all of that was really compelling. I loved her story with Go Chung-myung, and her familial relationship with Yeon-woo.
3) This show is absolutely beautiful. The set designs, the cinematography, the outfits... absolutely beautiful.
4) I love Sanchez.
The bad:
1) Too much filler episodes. Each episode basically comprises of about 70% 'ghost of the week' and 30% Man-wol's past/flashback to the past. Some of the ghost side characters had really poignant stories. The rest, I really didn't care much about. I only see them for about an hour, then they're gone forever. Also, Man-wol's past is fascinating and compelling, and it ended up being frustrating that I couldn't find out more about it until the end.
2) I did NOT buy Gu Chan-sung's romance with Man-wol. I was way more invested in her and Chung-myung. I felt for him and his failed and tragic romance with her. They really seemed like doomed star-crossed lovers. The minute Chung-myung appeared, I kind of switched ships. I saw Chan-sung as Man-wol's brother and started skipping their romantic scenes because I just wasn't filling in. Chung-myung made a way more compelling love interest. Sadly, the writers obviously did not think so.
3) Side characters that were never developed or fleshed out. Unfortunately, I didn't care about most of the sideplots or side characters. They barely got any screen time.
4) Gu Chan-sung has no personality outside of being in love with Man-wol. He ends up functioning as an impetus for plot stuff to happen, with no real presence of his own. His character was quite poorly written - he did not feel like a main character.
