This is not a parody of the Lord of the Rings. I didn’t intend to share this post with you until much later because 1) I wanted to see where the writers are going with this, and 2) I wanted you to see the connection yourselves. However, I’m aware that before I can proceed with […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 8 Madcaps Part 2
I’ll go briefly over the scene with Ma Go at the funeral, okay? Then, I’ll go for my morning run. My Part 3 should come later today. ************** The Grim Reaper doesn’t like that Manwol interfered and stopped the Granny Ghost from proceeding to the afterlife. Ha! After 1000 years as a hotelier, Manwol is […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 8 Madcaps, Part 1
I don’t do recaps because that’s beyond my expertise level and my pay grade. I do madcaps. This is part 1 of 4. I have to break the episode down into four so it’s easier to discuss. Let’s connect the final scene in Episode 7 with the beginning of Episode 8. From Episode 7 CS: […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 8 The Stranger Danger
Stranger danger. When my sons were little, we told them never to trust strangers offering them sweets or balloons or news about their mum. (I was often traveling on missions.) This applies for this drama. Don’t trust a drama that’s offering you sweets or misdirections or strange scenes. There is something strange about the Captain. […]
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 […]
Hotel del Luna: On Himalayan Pink Salt
I’m not discussing law. I’m merely talking about Himalayan Pink Salt so please take whatever I write here with a grain of …lol… salt. I understand where y’all coming from when you say that context matters. It should. I keep going back to the idea of justice and what it means to me…what it means […]
Hotel del Luna: Episode 7 Flash Reaction
These are my gut feelings, so please don’t ask me to explain too much because my brains are in a totally different zone in my body. 1. “The last one is the best.” My theory: the wine bottle that the Captain confiscated from her could have been used to incriminate her and/or Yeonwoo. The Princess’ […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 6 Explaining the King Ghost
One my great (or dumb, depending on how this ends) theories is that the ghost stories are created as a plot device. They’re intended to explain an aspect of Manwol’s life or to give an insight into her “twisted” mindset. Here are the key points. The Mayor from Episode 1 “How can living things not […]
Hotel del Luna: Manwol’s Clothes
Because I’ve been reading too many lavish compliments on her clothes on the internet, I wrote this. I found these gifs from belsmultifandommess’ tumblr. Credit goes to her. It’s too bad that the clothes aren’t arranged in chronological order because I want to analyze them. 🙂 I’d be surprised if her outfits weren’t designed to […]
Hotel del Luna: Subbing Confusion #2
My friend, @agdr03, brought this to my attention. I thought CS was honest too when he said that ‘no, I don’t feel anything for you’ to MW’s question of ‘do you think your Yeon Woo?, do you love me?’. Did you watch this from Kissasian, @agdr03? I’ll give you the Viki version. First, the background: […]
Hotel del Luna: Fun Facts
I’ll work on the King Ghost connection later today after my morning jog. It might take me quite a while so I’m going to throw all these trivia that I’ve gathered while watching Episode 6. Shout out to my old soompi friends who are visiting this blog. *********** 1. “I hate to be poor.” If […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 5 Subbing Confusion
Subbers are human so I don’t blame them when they occasionally flub the translation, especially in a Hong sisters kdrama. The ambiguity is purposely built into the script. So, I’ll try to explain the ending of Episode 5. This is the Viki sub (at 97%) of the dialogue between Manwol and Chansung after the wannabe-bride’s […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 6 Interpreting Ma GoSin’s Words
Here’s my interpretation of her words, “Their fates from a distant past have met. He would have to take care of her so that she suffers less.” @flying_tool and @Growing_Beautifully commented on them. First, let’s go back to the scene. I’m taking the subs from Viki. Sanchez gets a digital photo album to show the […]
Hotel del Luna: @GB Explains the Two Leaves
Thanks @Growing_Beautifully! I wasn’t getting the two leaves so I’m glad you explained this. I’m posting it out here for easy reference. I hope you weren’t pressured to write me a term paper. My responses are included. ****************** The Leaves 1st Leaf It was a leaf that flew from MW’s past into CS’s present and […]
