Spooking the guest-ghosts away in tvN’s Hotel del Luna
by tipsymocha
Anything coming from the Hong sisters inspires a lot of apprehension, as well as cautious hopefulness, which is exactly how I’m approaching their newest project tvN’s Hotel del Luna. Two new teasers have been released, featuring the two leads IU (My Ajusshi) and Yeo Jin-gu (My Absolute Boyfriend), giving us a glimpse of their characters as an owner and manager of a hotel that only caters to ghosts.
In the first teaser, we see IU’s Jang Man-wol character sitting, looking bored with a wine glass in hand, and surrounded by people dressed to the nines. She looks up as a man approaches her, which turns out to be her hotel’s manager Gu Chan-sung (Yeo Jin-gu). He slams down some bills in front of her and declares that her excess spending has pushed the hotel’s finances to the brink. That’s pretty ballsy behavior from an employee, especially to a boss like Man-wol, who goes from serene boredom to spitfire fury in a second. She curses and barks at Chan-sung’s insolence at daring to question her spending habits, and her temper is enough to spook the guests into poofing away. The teaser ends as she gets up in Chan-sung’s face and pretends to smooth down his collar, ominously saying, “Do you want me to make you disappear like that?”
The second teaser focuses on Gu Chan-sung, who is a top-flight hotelier, even appearing on global magazines like Times and Forbes (lol). He’s definitely a workaholic by nature, judging by the chaos on his desk, and his status as the top of his industry despite his young age. I’m interested to see how he ends up working at a hotel that only serves the dead, given his reputation and prestigious background. He coolly walks down the hallways of the hotel he now manages, only to faint from fright at the sight of a ghost in a room. Man-wol just gives a small, exasperated grimace, and stands over him as he comes to, noting that he’s all-around a good hotelier except for the fact that he’s “weak.”
Hotel del Luna will premiere on July 13 and air on tvN’s Saturday-Sunday slot.

Some people born in 1997 don't really look it. Kwak Dong Yeon is one of them.
Yeo Jingoo, is not.
He looks his age or even younger in these teasers and I don't know why but it's really distracting!

I shouldn't be excited for this drama, because Hong Sisters seem to be losing their touch judging from their more recent projects, but I am! IU looks good and convincing in the teasers, and I can already imagining her rocking this role. And while I (strangely) couldn't bear to watch any of Yeo Jin-goo's recent dramas, this one made me interested.
Will I be ready to be disappointed by Hong Sisters once more??

I think this is the first time where IU owns her role from the get go while the male counterpart feels underwhelming... Usually it's the opposite. Yeo Jin Goo looks too young to be a supposedly Harvard graduate (lol) and top-flight hotelier.

My Absolute Boyfriend ends on July 18, so when Hotel del Luna premieres, Yeo Jin-gu will be on four days a week.

This is from the Hong sisters? I've always loved their work because it's always unpredicable but on the other hand I just can't watch YJG nor IU. I'll stick to reading the recaps then.

I really like YJG as an actor, but he looks too young for this role. It's kinda frustrating because I like him but I think he's not the ideal actor for this role.

YJG is just not it. This one is only for IU. They should just focus on her character and keep the romance to a minimum or not at all.

IU's Manwol reminds me of Han Yeseul's Anna Jo from "Fantasy Couple". Not surprising since they are both dramas penned by the Hong Sisters, but her cursing ("what bullcrap are you saying!") at Yeo Jingu in the teaser made me recall Anna Jo's "Look at the state of this place!" Wonder if it's going to be Manwol's catchphrase 😁

Havent seen any KDrama for a while since Spring turns to spring. I did like Hong Sister's drama before Warm and Cozy. I am interested in this Drama though mostly because of IU and the ghost theme.
It is interesting Hong Sisters havent dont many dramas recently - wonder how they make $$$?

The trailers are encouraging. I really like IU and think she's growing into a seriously good actress the last few years. Her character looks quirky and strong in the trailers so I'll be tuning in. My biggest complaint about the Hong Sisters is their female characters, though quirky, tend to start out pathetic or wimp out in the second halves of the series. Even My Girl, Gummiho girl, Hong GilDong girl did this after their delightful starts. Master's Sun girl started weak but got strong, whereas the nun in Beautiful was annoying throughout for me. I watched most of Korean Odyssey and main female character did nothing for me. Just seemed bland.
But I do love their male characters. These guys might be arrogant and alpha, but they're funny, very flawed, and always personable. Full of character ; )
Dokko Jin! Hong GilDong! Masters Sun guy! Loved them.

Hope this is good. I've watched all of Hong Sisters drama and all of them entertains me from My sassy Girl Choon Yang up to Korean Odyssey. The greatest love and Masters Sun are still their best drama.
