4 stars.

Hey there, people! This is a new section, I guess, of my blog in which I rate dramas that I watch (by recommendation or because I find them interesting and add them to my never ending list) and recommend to others, idk, just follow me on this, haha.

My recommendation for today is Hotel Del Luna. It was recommended to me by my lovely friend Charmie! (Charmie, if you ever read this, thanks a lot and for making me cry, lol)

If you like spooky vibes, ghosts and mysteries, and a touch of cute and funny romance, this lighthearted drama is for you. I can't tell you exactly how many times I laughed and cried with this drama, but they were many many many times. I finished the drama a couple hours ago and I still can't recover. I mean, my eyes are swollen because I've been crying almost all day.

Jang Man-Wol is the owner (mostly because she's tied to the hotel for something she did so many years agp) of the Hotel Del Luna, a hotel were ghosts stay after die and to go to the afterlife without resentments or hatre. She's been alive for a thousand years and lives with hatre and resentment in her heart, spends a lot of money in caviar and champagne and has a secret, painful and deep past.

Enter Koo Chan-Sung, whose father made a deal with Man-Wol to not to die when he was supossed to, and not to leave his son alone, Chan-Sung, and then send him to Man-Wol.

I'm gonna try to give a free-spoiler review, because somehow end up giving spoilers, lmao. I can't help it, sorry. :(

I really loved this drama. Despite my rating of four stars, I loved/liked it. I used to watch dramas... No, I take it back. I never finished them because I got easily distracted or uni got me stressed out (I'm still stressed as hell, but I like to pretend like I'm not, lol). If I bad don't recall, I just finished one: When the Camellia Blooms (also, a rec, I loved it) and I was so emotional too.

Quick story-time. Back in 2010/11 I started to stan kpop groups, and I mean the old kpop groups. (Super Junior, SHINee, Block B, Girls' Generation, MissA, F(X), T-ARA, KARA, Teen Top, BIG BANG, VIXX, C-Clown, 2AM, 2PM, MBLAQ, B1A4, TVXQ, SS501, B.A.P., yada, yada, yada), so, yes, I'm that old when it comes of kpop or some k-dramas that I never watched. I'm sobbing. (I'm getting back to my stan kpop era, but now with my all-time-favorite groups: EXO, NCT, Monsta X and SF9)

So, when one of my favorite singers, and old one, appeared on the drama, I was screaming and fangirling like the 12/13 year old girl that I was in that time, haha. My exact scream was "Holy shit, that's P.O. from Block B and also IU!", (when Sulli made her cameo, I broke down because I really miss her so so so much) and I was correct. I was taken back to 2010—16 when I was a hard kpop stan and used to learn songs in Korean and Chinese (because before some groups released Chinese sub-units; Super Junior M and EXO-M, I'm talking to you) like I understood those languages.

Okay, we're done with some random facts about the embarrassing old me (I kind of miss her to be honest), let's get back to the drama.

This drama touches topics like death (mainly), family (blood and found family), missing the loved ones who leave us, reincarnation, love, resentment, things that tie us up here, etc. And they were well developed. Oh my gods, I loved how well those topics were touched and developed... It was perfect.

I also loved almost every single character. They were lovable, funny, charming, cunning, and some annoying as hell. Man-Wol had so many layers, secrets and sins that I found myself feeling pity for her, I wanted to hug her and smack her so many times. Go Chung Myung ma favorite boy (I liked him and hated him at the same time, he had my heart beating so fast).

All of the stories were so so so good, emotional, deep, complicated and above all, human. Even the deities felt human and were funny and wise. All of the emotions were on spot.

I honestly don't know if I'd watch it again. My small heart could not handle it... Also, I have a reputation of a cold-hearted bitch to mantain and crying over a very very emotional drama will not help, lmao. It's not that the drama is bad, of course not, it's beautiful and with a deep message, but I'd have to rip my heart off my chest to be able to watch it and not cry again.

Anyways, don't mind me rambling and vomiting words (because that's what I do every single time, LOL), the drama is in Netflix if you want to go and cry like me.

I need time to recover from this. Chung Myung, you own my heart with that look.
