Hotel del Luna: Ep 8 Put Spoilers Here

I spent the day at a winery today and I know better than to write when inebriated. I’ll watch the episode tomorrow morning after the Viki subs are out, and will try to post my usual nonsense after my morning jog.  However, feel free to put in your spoilers, comments, rants and raves for Ep 8 here.

Also, since we’re an obsessive bunch around here, you might like to take a look at the opening credits of this kdrama.

Manwol is the Queen of diamonds. That card according to Latin.cards/cartomancy/ace-clubs.html

represents a powerful figure. She evokes a negative woman trying to force herself on everyone and in every domain.

Chansung is the Ace of clubs. He’s the reason I took a second look at the opening scene.  I was expecting him to be a King of Hearts.  But it makes sense that he’s an Ace, given that an ace is the highest card in any suit, and an ace is a person who excels in his assigned tasks like Chansung.

Moreover, according to the same site, “the ace of clubs relates to a state of well-being and peace of mind.” And that’s Chansung’s role for Manwol.

I’m not worried about an unhappy ending.

The Bartender and the Housekeeper are both Jacks. There’s an idiom “Jack-of-all-trades” to refer to a person who does all sort of jobs. The bartender is the Jack of spades, the housekeeper is the Jack of hearts. They’re a couple.

The Bellhop and Yuna are also a pair. He’s a seven of hearts and she’s a seven of spades. Interestingly enough, the Bellhop’s card is black (which is the wrong color) since hearts are red like the housekeeper’s card. Hmmm…I hope this doesn’t mean that he’s a “black-hearted” individual. “Black-hearted” means a cruel and wicked person and the Bellhop doesn’t at all act like that.

Sanchez is number 2 of clubs which I thought was fitting since he’s the wingman or sidekick of the the Ace of Club, Chansung.

Just file my post under “Useless Trivia.”

  1. the queen of diamonds (MW): powerful figure, a negative woman trying to force her will on everyone and everything; in the material world, also means *quick enrichment through controversial means*. the ace of clubs (CS): a “binding contract”, “marriage.

    evening primroses (the flowers she sends him for his bday each year): “fickleness” or “faithlessness”; it can also mean “sweet memories”, but I’d take that ironically in this case… unless the gods are in fact as perverse as she thinks them to be, and they made CS the reincarnation of CM…

    And I think I loved ep.8 though extra unsure where this is all going (long train of consciousness rant/rave about it on my blog)

  2. So, the grim reaper said that Manwol would be going to the next life “soon”. This seems to place strict limits on the scope of a happy ending? Assuming the Grim Reaper knows, or at least has a good idea…

  3. what is ‘soon’ for an immortal being? 20y? 50?

  4. yeah yeah..so i do not understand why she had to disappear from Chanseong’s life??is it noble idiocy..?or is this mirroring the old man & his puppy?but it’s too soon for that right?
    the bellhop & intern couple is soooo cute i ship them instantly…ah to be young..
    i’m not surprised about the Captain’s betrayal and if it turn out that Captain’s actually fall in love with Manwol & marrying the princess to protect his love..

  5. My take is that she had a preview of what the gods had in store for them and she is not having any of it (because in her eyes the gods are neither fair, nor on her side).

    Not to mention him getting hurt himself while protect her soul… and the precedent: the one time MW followed her heart instead of reason everyone she ever loved died horribly, in front of her eyes… So she gives up the idea of redemption to get him out of her mess… she is protecting him and taking responsibility. makes sense to me.

    but in a way she is falling in the same trap that CM did: making choices in his behalf without letting him chose. but i bet he’ll be having none of it (and MG#1 is more than happy to help…)

  6. About 10,000 years, give or take a millennium.
    🙂

    Have you seen the Cosmic Calendar? My favorite astrophysicist and crush, Carl Sagan, made a timeline of the 13 billion years since Big Bang occurred, and condensed all the major events into a single Gregorian calendar.

    By his Cosmic Calendar, the big event of 1492, when Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas, occurred about 2 seconds ago.

    #trivia #mind-boggling

    Note: we only used Big Bang as a the starting point in this timeline. Who knows how long that immortal (that is, God, the true immortal) has been living before Big Bang occurred? He is without beginning and end.

  7. My 2 cents on the disappearance:

    I haven’t watched 8 but from what I sense, there seems to be alot of fear.

    To me, MW likes CS, but is fearful of letting him know her true past, and her fear of her own growing attraction to CS and probably also the possibility of CS having feelings for her. What if he likes her? What if he doesn’t?

    She perhaps feel she doesn’t deserve love. And that all who love her are sacrificed in the end, and nothing good comes out of it. Nothing good comes out of hanging around a 1000 year old “not here or there” ( not even a real spirit, not even a true human).

    So what do you do to avoid opening old wounds and creating possible new ones?

    You run.

    And you try to run as far as you can in hopes that everything inside you remain submerged and tucked away so that no one can ever see.

  8. Oh, there you are! So you joined us here, finally. lol

    I haven’t seen Ep 8. But don’t let that stop y’all. I don’t mind spoilers.

  9. Hehe! Hi~ *waves*

    I’m going to watch it later tonight!

  10. Tsk, I thought god was eternal, without beginning or end, vs immortal meaning without an end. I think I’m paraphrasing you correctly?

    And from the context, I thought it was “soon” in human terms.

    And yes, MW is making a unilateral choice, like CM did. It’s a mirrored situation, but it is easy enough to construct a scenario where CM didn’t have much of a choice, where as MW has the option of talking to CS. Twisted reflections seem to be a theme in this drama. The changes, hopefully, give our trio the potential for a different ending?

    The bracelet sequence. Without the bracelet Mira can see, hear, interact with ghosts/spirits. Does this world have shamans with actual power in the spirit world (I don’t recall any such scenes)? Or is the referred to grandmother a Mago infestation? And is the ability to see ghosts a permanent condition for MR? A doctor who can see ghosts and has the behavior pattern of a thief could be an interesting drama … especially since we seem to be in the season for doctors and supernatural beings.

    Since we’re only half way in, more reveals to come. And I really could have done without the … unilateral separation. A millennium of dealing with people with unfinished business should tell MW that CS will find her again. And that running away from Mago’s intent is not going to work.

    By the way, why does someone who can teleport at will take a bus? When traveling Alone?

  11. Man weol said to chung sung that “you brought her here” (referring to Mira). And also said “they are not going to let me go after all” (referring to the gods.) so after she kind of tried to kill or curse mira (watched only the 1st few minutes with subs, watched the full ep without subs last night so didn’t get many of it). And chung sung took the hit she felt her 1000 year old hatred is still there and there is a big chance she’d ruin everything by killing mira and disappointing chung sung. So she disappeared from eveyones life. Thats how i felt it after watching the drama without subs. Haha have to watch it fully with subs to clarify this.

  12. Thanks Lily dear!!

  13. MiRa and ghost seeing:
    So far nothing has indicated that MR in the current incarnation is anything else than a ‘cutely immoral’ (she does all these horrid things to her supposed friends, but expects to get a pass because she is likable) regular human.

    In this universe anyone (see Sanchez and his temporary ‘fiancé’, or the inhabitants of the doctor’s house ep.8) can see/hear ghosts if the spirits so intended. I think the bracelet protects her from seeing ghosts in these cases when they would want to be seen… It does not mean she has the same abilities as for instance CS… Everyone in the room (the son and daughter in law of the imaginary ghost originator) could hear the music except MR…

    But I wonder if her granny’s gift has anything to do with one of the MaGo gods…

  14. I agree that the Captain’s smile while standing next to the Princess at the beginning of the episode doesn’t reach his eyes. But I felt too that he really did just used her to buy time in killing her group.

    I want to see how MW kills him off.

  15. You blood-thirsty woman! By beheading? She slashed and hacked him?

    Are you suspicious that Manwol didn’t kill him?

    Are you done watching? Still waiting for Viki subs.

    Okay, have to get my act together here.

  16. I go with C.

    Noble Idiocy. The Hong sisters are famous for this trope. And the two-year separation trope which I think is actually a good way to reboot the romance. Phew! I thought this 2-year separation would occur in Episode 14, so I’m glad they did this now.

    Manwol actually stated her reason for leaving him. (Per Kissasian) she said, “Whether this place is a fence or a prison for me, what I have is torture. It’s not that wonderful to be tortured together. Goodbye.”

  17. I know right? 😂 I want to see whether he will fight her or just take it in. Or if he has anything left to say for himself. I’m sure he got killed, she said it too.

    I’ve finished watching at kissasian but I didn’t see any episode 9 preview. I’m watching GGS now.

    Yes, that’s what she said. She doesn’t want CS to be with her and her torture even though he said that he won’t leave her. She still can’t believe that someone will stay with her. It makes sense because she didn’t end up staying with the Captain.

    Doesn’t she realise that one way or another CS will find Hotel del Luna?

    It’s interesting that the time jump is sooner than later.

  18. Yes, the timejump surprised me. I expected it to happen later — THAT’s also another reason, I dug up that specific post from Warm and Cozy for Throwback Thursday. I could have chosen another post from that thread, but I thought I should give people heads-up on this timejump,

    I thought you were scared of ghosts? The ghost/delusional spirit wasn’t so scary in this episode.

    I’ve to think about that Captain scene some more. There’s something odd about it…no it’s not the SMILE that bugged me. It’s something else. He did something else that surprised me more than his forced smile at the princess. It wasn’t logical….

    Should I tell you now? Or later? Hmmmm…. lol. Let me think about this.

  19. Oh men! Now I’m trying to think too 😂

    Did he set up the Princess to be killed because he knows that MW will come for revenge? I just had this thought that maybe the Captain isn’t dead because MW asked #MaGo1 if he’s coming too on the 120 year old lady’s funeral.

    You chose Warm and Cozy because it’s special 😉 and the time jump like you said made sense and flowed in the story.

  20. Ooooh I see now. 🙂 @charlie was asking about “soon” because Manwol left Chansung. Well, after finishing the kissasian sub, I’ll go with two years. lol. Master’s Sun had a two-year separation. Warm and Cozy had a year. And Hwayugi had like a day or two of separation before she reappeared as a ghost. He vowed to look after her ~no matter ~~how ~long~ it~ took ~ (you have to imagine yourself crooning those last words).

  21. That’s my “teaser” or homework of the day for all of us. Question: Besides the “distant” smile, what else did the Captain do in Episode 8, that seemed suspicious to you?

    Okay, going for my run now.

  22. Okie. I should have watched it twice but GGS is getting to me. 😂

    Enjoy your run. Laters! 👋🏻

  23. Wait! I’m clarifying something you posted.

  24. And no, @agdr03. In the funeral when she asked MaGo#1, “Will he* come too?” I don’t think she was talking about the Captain.

    I’m waiting for the Viki subs to confirm something.

  25. Hahaha. I told you GGS is a must-see. An old guy in love with a young girl is too funny to watch because he’s resisting it. He doesn’t think love’s right for him so he’s struggling. lol.

  26. There’s a time jump??

    They didn’t show MW kill Captain so I’m not sure if he really died by her sword either.

  27. i noticed that at the opening, Captain forced his smile looking at the flying lantern while there is full moon in the background..

  28. No.

    But I WANT a timejump now. The Hong sisters are notorious for these timejumps and sometimes, they’re awkwardly placed so the viewers feel that the ending is rushed.

    I’d rather have them sooner rather than later, like @agdr03 said.

    Episode 8 is a good time for Manwol and Chansung to stay apart. They can meet again sometime end of Ep 9. lol. Chansung will find her again.

  29. He told Manwol life you ask me to go with you, I will go with you.”

    He told Manwol “if you want to kill me, first stay alive.”

    No alarms with dead/missing guards and blood spills on the way to the inner castle.

    The captain walked slowly into the nuptial chamber with long sword sheathed, his right hand not on the hilt.

    To me these are suspicious acts. Two scenarios:
    Good captain – was in a bad situation, had to make a deal to keep a MW alive, even though he knew she would come after him. No way to save the rest of the gang.
    Bad captain – kept MW alive to have her kill the princess, leaving him the ruler.

  30. Ho no I am NOT a fan of time jumps!

    If this is a typical Hong Sisters thing then yes Ep 8 is the best time.

    CS will definitely find her – I mean, he has Mago on his side.

    Also, it’s in Ep 9’s preview.

  31. I just hope no one suffers amnesia or coma. We’re already halfway through Hong Sisters! Don’t do anything awkward now!

  32. Uhh! I forgot about that! The Hong sisters use the amnesia trope, too. I hate that especially when it happens at the back-end of the drama. Ammesia is a cop-out. It’s a sign to me that the screenwriter has run out of ideas to move the story along.

    Anyway, we’ve now entered the “danger zone” because the second half is when the Hong sisters’ momentum and creativity usually peter out.

  33. Ah! Good job, @flying_tool!

    See, the smile didn’t cut it for me. But his sword was the one thing out of place in the bridal room… But I was kinda expecting it because of the married couple ghosts in Episode 7. Manwol gave them a cleaver and an pickax to settle their argument.

    I like the “bad captain” scenario but let me think some more about this episode. The viki sub is up now.

  34. @packmule3 ah yes now is where I tighten my seatbelt and try to understand where Hong Sisters are trying to lead all of us to.

    I’m also waiting for Nam Da Reum…

  35. Yo! 🙂

    Ah so it was the sword that the Captain had with him coming into the bedroom chambers that’s not right. I see it now. So from that I can say that he really did just used MW to get rid of the Princess and he can be tied to the ghost king because he didn’t get to become king because he died in MW’s hands. I don’t know.

    One thing is for sure. He set her up to be taken near the lake so the rest of the group can be captured without her and for her to be saved just so she can kill the Princess.

    I wonder if Ma Go #1 can actually give CS a reward for sending MW off later, a happy ending reward. 🙂

    Yes. The conjured up ghost wasn’t scary. I told you I usually just close my eyes whenever the ugly ghosts are in the scene. hehehe

    Oh GGS is funny and as much as HS is aloof and strict to everybody, he is still not totally ignoring her. I mean she got to sit with him during the match against SP. LOL. What about asking her if she wants some candy? That’s a good sign that he’s not a total snob! I have to say she really has guts and really she can just say to the K&K group that she’s not his girlfriend/sister inlaw, she met him recently and that she’s a big fan. 🙂

  36. But…but…but @agdr,

    if the Captain didn’t reveal where they were, in the first place, then there was no need for him to “save” Manwol or to be grateful to him for the “saving” her.

    And if the Captain didn’t hang that bottle up in the tree, then Manwol wouldn’t have gone on a wild goose chase and searched for him at the lake where she was ambushed and captured. He set up the trap for her, knowing she would take the bait and look for him.

    If it weren’t for that bottle, Manwol would have ridden out with her men and they would have departed as scheduled and escaped the Captain and his team.

    I don’t think separating Manwol from her team wasn’t intended to save Manwol. It was a calculated strategy of the Captain to divide and conquer the bandit. He isolated Manwol so she could be taken down easily in a surprise attack.

    Also, she was the gang’s best fighter. Didn’t she single-handedly kill the troop of men who came after her? If she had been with her people, they would have been stronger together and had a better chance of defeating the Captain’s troop.

    To me, he didn’t love her. but he definitely used her. If ever he “saved” her, it wasn’t out of love but out of utility. She was useful to him and despite her outward prickliness, very easily manipulated. He played her like a fiddle.

    I hope Manwol killed him. I’m convinced that it was his shadow anyway creeping up behind her in Episode 1.

  37. Sorry. That’s what I meant. He used her as bait. He said to her while she was in the cell that he will spare her life because she gave him time. Time to plan the whole thing. That’s what I meant by saving her. 🙂 She got spared but not after seeing YW die and realizing that she was played for a fool.

  38. Given the fact that in the past royalty and noble/ministers’ families marry each other to gain strength, forces and riches, I wouldn’t be surprised at this point that Cap is of a certain noble status and was due to marry Princess to secure a hold for “peace” and new titles.

    But MW appearance gave him the chance to round up bandits (gain credit), kill Princess (no longer have to be ‘behind her skirt’) as he is now royally married (and then widowed) with the proper title to take over officially. If he gets to kill MW, combo points for killing his wife’s killer.

    It probably did cross his mind to be with MW. But MW refused his request. Perhaps he does feel a little scorned. Sad but still, a little scorned.

    If the above is true then Cap is quite a meaty role for a past love.

  39. My mind is stuck on Manwol’s conversation with the Old Woman at their first encounter.

    MW: Where is it? Where should I go?
    OW: You can’t go there. That’s where the dead go. Like the ones over there (glancing at the spirits behind her). How many souls did you bring in this coffin?
    MW: They were killed because of me.
    OW: Who else did you kill for the sake of the dead?
    MW: (drawing her sword to slice the throat of the Old Woman) Shut up and tell me where to go.

    Who else did you kill for the sake of the dead?

    Like the Escapee ghost, she took justice into her own hands and killed. She was all shaken up by the Escapee ghost’s final ending because she empathized with her. She had been in her shoes, going after people who harmed her and killing them.

    She was played for a fool and she hated that. The Old Woman said her sins were arrogance and self-pity.

    She went off and killed a legion of soldiers, and the Princess… and she must have killed the Captain, too. Right?

    Would it make sense if, at the last minute, she spared the Captain’s life and she negotiated with So she could bury her comrades’ souls, she and the Captain traded and exchanged her freedom (plus free passage through the land with her comrades’ mementos) for his kingdom?

    Thus, when the Old Woman asked her, “Who else did you kill for the sake of dead?” she killed everybody EXCEPT for the Captain.

    Nahh.

    For now, I’ll go with “she killed him” and his ghost was the one creeping up behind her. I’ll worry about this next episode.

  40. I thought of the possibility that Cap fended off her attacks and he did not die.I wish she did get to kill him though. SLASH HIM! lol.

    I will only believe his death when the drama shows him taking his last breath.

    At this point it’s still up in the air.

    Weekend feels so far right now.

  41. Hmmm, making a bargain with the Captain so she can burry her comrades and their mementos, it’s possible too. I can connect that when she asked Ma Go if ‘he is coming too?. That was right after she saw Mi Ra again.

    But then we had the question of ‘who else did you kill?’ which really makes sense for it to be the Captain because of YW and her puppy love.

    With that bargain, maybe the Captain changed his mind that’s why MW got ambushed when she was in the field.

    Anyway we will see. I can’t believe we’re in August now. Next thing you know it’s Christmas again 😄

    I’ll leave it here. Laters! 👋🏻

  42. Where are you now with GGS?

  43. I’m only on episode 6 when everyone was leaving for New Year celebrations with their family, Mam! 😉😄

    I got busy as eldest will be going to camp tomorrow for school for 2 days.

  44. Hurry. Because I’m waiting for your reaction.
    But don’t hurry, too. Because I want you to enjoy your one-on-one time with your youngest.

  45. If Manwol is still human, than why does the escapee ghost’s fate apply? Mira’s fate of reincarnation through the “pork in the pork whatever” stages followed by reincarnation as a human should apply, no?

    For the escapee’s end to apply, MW would have to die, then turn into an evil spirit, and take a life, no?

    Until the goddesses put Mira in front of her, who would she have harmed as a ghost?

  46. The escapee ghost’s story serves as a cautionary tale for both humans and ghosts, as well as a powerful teaching tool on the subject of the deities’ justice and retribution. It deters one and all from going against the constructs of the gods.

  47. I will try to catch up with you on GGS, promise! 🙂 But not tonight because I’m watching Hugh Jackman 😍 with the cousins.

    Did you see my other comment here on GGS? The one below.

    Oh GGS is funny and as much as HS is aloof and strict to everybody, he is still not totally ignoring her. I mean she got to sit with him during the match against SP. LOL. What about asking her if she wants some candy? That’s a good sign that he’s not a total snob! I have to say she really has guts and really she can just say to the K&K group that she’s not his girlfriend/sister inlaw, she met him recently and that she’s a big fan. 🙂

  48. Thanks, @agdr03.

    Go Go Squid is an easy watch. I knew you’d like the guy. He doesn’t act as well as the DL (his comic timing is off) but who cares? As long as he’s believable boyfriend, I’m all for it.

    I’m tempted to fast-forward like @Growing Beautifully but @mslee wants recaps for the episodes. If I fast-forward too much, I’ll forget what I’ve watched.

    BTW, I just opened my blog email today. I didn’t know you and the others left me messages. Sorry.

  49. Your welcome 😀

    Yes, I like GGS and I like HS too. His comic timing maybe off because of his scowl. 😆 Sometimes I feel like going inside the ipad to go and straighten his brows flat. 😆 I’m still not feeling Yang Zi though. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind her and I’m sure she’s got millions of fans but I think I only like Zheng Shuang for my Chinese actress. So I have her and 3 actors. She’s actually got a drama out but I haven’t really given it attention. LOL. I heard she’s getting married late this year too. All the best for her.

    I cannot fast forward mainly because I’ve never done that while watching a drama. 🙂

    Yes, we bombarded you with emails, tweets and comments here when you suddenly disappeared. Sorry too. 😃

  50. What about this scenario?

    The Captain was planning on killing the princess after their wedding but Manwol beat him to the punch…or the slash?

    Will this scenario make sense?

    Hmmm… But why would he kill the princess?

  51. Hmmm, it can work too because Captain killing the princess will make him King but MW’s reason for being alive for centuries is because of her punishment, her grudges and killing lots of people. The hate must be really substantial so I don’t think this one will work.

    I’m trying to think now too of the signs that CS will die. 🙁 I think I need a warning. I mean he can really stay by her side until he dies later but if MW/tree blossoms fully then at one point she will have to die and go to the afterlife. I think I need to prepare myself because I like my MW and CS couple.

  52. I’m a closet romantic. ha!

    I’m trying to salvage the Captain and Manwol’s last goodbye. Part of me would like to think that he had been sincere when he offered to take her back with him to the castle or when he offered to go ride with them. But another part of me, the cynical half, is saying that yeaaaah, right! If he took her back with him to the castle, then he just captured the leader of the bandits. And if he joined the bandits, then he successfully infiltrated the gang.

    Yes, to CS’s possible death. We shouldn’t forget that he’d already been given the flower of death twenty years ago. Manwol said so, when they met on the train, and he tried to buy a flower from her. I wondered then if that meant he was living on borrowed time. Oh well. Let’s just our eyes peeled; I don’t want surprises.

  53. You know, I went back on your first impressions of the episode and the scene where she was pulling the horse drawn cart with the coffin in it, I’m thinking ok that must have been after she killed the Captain right. But there was another ambush for her and I want to ask you, the Captain wasn’t there right? Am I over thinking now because we’re discussing the Captain and MW’s last scene in case she did make a bargain with him after it looked like she was going to kill him after the Princess. But then if the Captain was included in that ambush then she still killed him anyway as we saw when she was looking for Hotel del Luna. My mind boggles. 😃

    If ever we don’t have a happy ending I guess I will not make a big fuss because from the start we had ghosts which was brought to their afterlife and a person whose been living for years and years. 🙂

  54. I think we’ll still get a happy ending. It’s not going to that “shooting” stars Armageddon of that Hong Gil-Dong kdrama.

    Yes, the first episode. No, I don’t think the Captain was there. My hunch is he’s the last shadow creeping up on her. So when she swung around to cut it down, her sword slashed through air and ended up stabbing the tree. So… to me, even as a ghost, he was the last one she struck down before her sword was swallowed by her tree. Her grudge against him (as a shadow) got embedded in the tree.

    That’s my interpretation of that brief moment.

    But I’m giving the Captain the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps he wasn’t such a bad guy. Maybe he was trying to save her. Maybe he was plotting a coup. Maybe he was coerced to marry the Princess.

    But no matter how I turn it around, the fact remains that he made her watch Yeonwoo’s execution. He alone saw how happy she was when Yeonwoo was returned to her.

    It’s just like… Hmmm… Chansung getting the signature of that Fat Eater. Msnwol was over the moon to see the Fat Eater’s autograph. What if Chansung then suddenly smash its frame and set it on fire in front of Manwol? No matter how I wrap my head around this, the Captain was very sadistic. That’s not how people care for the one they love.

    Do you see what I mean?

  55. The last shadow creeping up on her and because if it is the Captain she really needs to cut him down because she hated him the most and he is her ultimate grudge.

    Yeah, the only good thing that the Captain did for her was to rescue her from the sandpit, rescuing Yeonwoo, not let her be caught by the palace guards and letting her go without charging her for stealing wine(?) when she went to see him in the palace. Other than their first eye contact where I saw their connection, I can’t see the Captain loving her.

    We will see. I thought you were sleeping already 🙂

  56. Sorry, there’s a 50 minutes time difference to my response to you. I only saw it now.

    Good night! 🙂

  57. Yes! I was half-asleep when I replied. I really should turn off the notifications before going to bed. 🙂

    As a couple, Manwol and Chansung, they look good together when they were working with that delusional spirit of the Grandma. Did you see how Chansung waved her off with a hand to signal that he was fine and she shouldn’t attack the spirit? He knows her so well now.

    I like the role reversal here. Usually, in detective shows, the girl is often the sidekick while the guy is the rude, abrasive, eccentric genius detective. Here, Chansung is the sidekick while Manwol is the rude, abrasive, eccentric, genius detective trying to figure out what’s the deal with the ghost.

    The other time that I like Manwol and Chansung’s tag-team was in Episode 2 when they visited the owner of the Baekdu painting. Remember that scene? I liked the way that Chansung nervously called out to her, “Honey?? Honey!!” That reminds me of my husband.

    Then, Chansung went up to her and pleaded with her to “Seeet down! Plleasse seeet down. Plleeasssse.” Cute.

  58. Howdy! ☺️

    😁 They are cute together that’s why I want a happy ending. Yes, they’re in sync now whenever they’re investigating a particular ghost. That’s partnership already.

    Hmm speaking of being together, I think this drama won’t have a lot of kiss scenes. Well compared to HS, CS had a girlfriend before so he should be more experienced 😂

    I’m up to date with Rookie Historian so I’ll pick up speed with GGS. Hopefully I can be where you are by the time this weekend is finished ☺️

  59. Okay, you’re the Kiss Accountant. Count all the kisses and keep tabs on the deficit. 😂

    Will try to catch up with Rookie. I’m taking the day off. But hmmm… last time I thought I had Friday off, my office came to my home anyway.

  60. Morning! ☺️

    Yes well maybe they’ll make up for it in the later episodes but I’m not counting on it. Sorry, I will be counting it like you said 😂 I’ll state the scenes where a kiss is possible to be included.

    CS has been vocal now of his intentions to stay with her so I want MW to feel that love, more than words.

    Oh I’m sure you’ll be able to breeze through work even at home. 😊

    I’m on episode 7 in GGS where HS and Grandpa just arrived for dinner. I’ll update you.

  61. 👍 okay, I wrote about GGS Ep 7. Post there afterwards so other GGS fans can read it. GGS peeps may not follow HdL.

  62. Yup. I will. I’m on episode 8 now. 😊

    That New Year dinner was 😱 shocking.
