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

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: The Return of the King

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 […]

Go Go Squid! Episodes 10 & 11 Highlights

Episode 10 If you’re solely focus on the romance aspect like I am, you can skip Episode 10. They were separated by a continent so they could only communicate by phone. For instance, Valentine’s Day was also Shangyan’s birthday. This could have been a major romantic celebration for them but it was dud. She tried to […]
