@flying_tool asked a question. This is *my* interpretation. Nobody needs to argue with me. Bitches, please feel free to add your thoughts. Question on the meaning of the conversation between Mago 2 and Mago 3 in episode 10. Viki Mago 3:If Gu Chan Seong hasn’t taken the medicine, he should be able to see the […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 10 In Memory of the Living pt 2
Part 1 is here. The third dead person is Chansung’s mother. Now, she’s a pretty interesting character because the Hong sisters don’t come out directly that Chansung was an unwanted baby. See here: compared with the CEO ghost and Manwol, her links to the living should have been the closest. After all, the CEO ghost […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 10 In Memory of the Living
To me this episode showed three ways the dead regarded the people they left behind. The first dead person is pretty obvious. The CEO ghost cherished his granddaughter, Sulli. (I don’t care what her character name is, she’s Sulli to me.) A kiddie photo of her with her grandpa was kept in a children’s book […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 10 The Baekdu Painting
@Papai noticed the constant mention of the Baekdu painting and asked this question: why from the earlier episode up till latest ep,the Baekdu mountain painting keeps circulating here and there everywhere in many dialogue..??even appear in many scene.. is it just candidly add to sweeten the scene metaphorically or it will play important role in […]
Hotel del Luna: Episode 9 Highlights
I’ve to watch my Go Go Squid after this. 1. His new hairstyle Yes! I was waiting for this hairstyle trope. In Hong sisters’ drama, the new hairstyle signifies an emotional upheaval and a turning point in the OTP’s relationship. I wasn’t disappointed. He’s going to be uncool. 2. The phones The nice thing here […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 9 Herbalist MaGo 2 Meets Chansung
A number of us didn’t understand MaGo2’s conversation with Chansung in Episode 9 so it’s good to trace back to Episode 4 where this whole idea that Chansung is a pushover started. I’ll use the Viki subs and cross-check with Kissasian subs. From Episode 4: Manwol berates Chansung for allowing himself to be duped by […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 10 Put Spoilers Here
Please put spoilers here for Ep 10. Thanks! I’m still on my pina colada mode.
Hotel del Luna: On Rest Stops
The concept of justice, punishment and mercy is one of the more interesting subjects this kdrama deals with. I’ll continue with what I said in the Himalayan salt. I’ll post @growing_beautifully’s questions here and rehash my answers. @packmule3, I too keep thinking and saying that despite all the omens, the vibe (if one can ever […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 9 Spoilers and Fireflies
Edited to add my spoilers. 1. The firefly No, it isn’t the Captain. And it had better NOT be the Captain. Please, gals. Albert Einstein may be famous for his Theory of Relativity and that equation E = mc2 but all you really need to know about his theory that’s pertinent to your kdrama viewing pleasure is this […]
Hotel del Luna: The Mysterious Bellhop
I’m consolidating here the comments @Growing_Beautifully and I have written back-and-forth on the Bellhop. I dislike having to search all over the place for them @GB said: I know that melody from my father’s playing it when I was a kid. I thought it was sweetly appropriate for an ‘old-fashioned’ piece that Bellhop could probably […]
Hotel del Luna: On Chansung’s Illness
Jasminsssiii delurked to pose this question request: Can’t wait for your thoughts regarding Chan Sung’s possible death hmmm Let me see now. I’m going to skim through this because it’s just one of my “theories” and I noticed that none of the other posters have even seen it. I don’t want to be accused of […]
Hotel del Luna: On Guns, Scars and Other Things
You should remember Chekhov’s gun when watching movies, plays and kdramas. When the camera zooms in on an object, the director is giving us a hint that it’s going to be relevant. A director wouldn’t waste production time, money, and energy to re-shoot an object from a different angle, if the object isn’t important at […]
Hotel del Luna: Dating for Ghosts
On a lighter note, Yoona’s dating misadventures with Bellhop are too funny. She has illusionary ideas about imaginary dating a ghost. 1. He “ghosted” her. (Ep 6) They were becoming close with each other when suddenly he disappeared and stop communicating with her. 2. He didn’t friend-zoned her… he ghost-zoned. (Ep 8) 3. He guilt-tripped (or […]
Hotel del Luna: “Will He Come, Too?”
Do you remember how I explained Ma Go’s words, “Their fates from a distant past have met. He would have to take care of her so she suffers less” way back in Episode 6? I wrote that if we followed the SIMPLE train of thought, then we could assume that Ma Gosin was talking about […]
