Thought on Ep 3:

That scene of Lee Joon Gi as a exorcist have me cracking up.

Kang Mina finally appear yay. Her being a bully before her soul get burned? Now her victim/classmate is her now. I am especially interested in her future story as in how will she feel having to live with "new parent" now. Also does the victim absorb all of the bully memories?

Hotel Del Luna episode 3 & 4 was really good. I really like the smooth transition and pacing is just right, not draggy and not fast as well. The side stories are wonderfully written as well. In episode 4 the kiss I did not expected, they really made it fit to what is happening (Man Wol trying to keep Chan Seong's mouth shut). The ghost in Room 13 was really creepy, it's the most scariest one in the story so far. I really love the drama. It's brilliant!

Yes, the seem to be a marriage part was intriguing. Man Wol's past is getting interesting.

Jealous Man Wol is so cute.

It hurts me to see Man Wol sad whenever she is lonely. Episode 6, on the end was touching. ManChan fighting!

I only watch this one K-drama now. It feels like I don't have the time and strength to watch more than one at a time anyway. Glad this one hits all the right things for me so far. I'm also glad the horror parts aren't worse than Master's Sun; I couldn't sleep alone for a few nights thanks to that one lol.

The past and its connections to the present make me curious. I love the dialogues between the characters and the things they don't say. IU's fashion is so distracting, goodness. She's ready to kill at all times. Such a queen!

Can't wait for the next eps. I'm ready for a sad ending, but I hope it'll be something bittersweet but still fits the logic of the series.

Same here. I'm getting myself ready for sad ending but I still hope that Jang Man Wol will get a happy ending this time since in the past she went through hardship and pain. I hope her present day self she will get her happiness and she won't be lonely anymore.

Yep exactly. Problem is that she's been around too long. For her time to run again like the god said, I think she'll have to move on from this world. Even if she is to be reincarnated, it will take time, and Chan Sung is our friendly neighborhood human. Unless he takes over the hotel and become an immortal himself lol.

Or maybe I'm being too pessimistic here because of series like Goblin. HDL reminds me so much of Goblin, but I hope it will be an even better series.

Let's just enjoy whatever ride HDL will give is. We'll just get ourselves ready whatever the ending maybe.

True. Unfortunately, I've read some comments on how Hong sisters (the writers) tend to somehow lose the style in the latter half of the series. I really hope it won't happen for a series that starts off this strong. I already can't wait for the next ep, been repeating the OST a few times today. xD

I heard of that as well but Hong Sisters has good written story script before so I'm still hopeful.

My favourite OSTs are All About You by Taeyeon and Only You by Yang Da Il.

Me too, Taeyeon's voice and the music arrangement are so great. I think I hear a song by Gummy as well, will look forward to that too. The songs are mostly sad so far, so I guess we will really have a sad ending lol! JK.

I also hope Chan Sung won't be a reincarnation of anyone from Man Wol's past (though it's probably unlikely because Kdrama loves this kind of trope).

Just watched Ep 5

Damm. This episode hit me in the feels. Especially during the "wedding" when the bride scared off the groom so that he won't have to die and go to the afterlife with her

Thought on Ep 6:

LOL at the crowned Queen part. For those who doesn't know, Yeo Jin Goo acted in The Crowned Clown as the male lead too. Seeing them do a "Crowned Queen" part make me smile

Thoughts about episode 7:
We will finally know what happened in Jang Man Wol's past. Her relationship with Gu Chan Seong are blossoming as well.

@Jeongyeon's Hair Ep 9 preview on YT:



@ByulHarangBona The meta sure was fun. I'm not familiar with YJG before this, so those meta comments didn't really hit home for me until I read other comments about it. I like it when writers do that with the lines. xD

@rosie It's always charming when we're back to the past. I really like the dialogues; it's so interesting why they make the Capt's lines so cheesy and flirty. I still feel a little off because we don't really see how both fall for each other yet to justify those lines, but I can wait. Same goes with the banter between Chan Sung and Man Wol in the present. The present wins because we see how their relationship evolves, though.
