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 […]
Bitch Talk: @flying_tool’s Comment
@flying_tool, You said this re my post on Hotel del Luna: The Return of the King Love it! Much better explanation for the episode. I was about to tease you not to get carried away and remind you that this is only my interpretation. Some people will choose to attack me rather than rebut my points […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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: […]
