I don't know. Mom wants Mo-eun out of the house, and Mom already really likes Dan Ho, so . . .

And then we also get a "One Spring Night" reference with the 2nd ML single dad.

The "Something in the Rain" reference made me giggle.

I act like an adult with everyone, UNTIL I go home and I'm around my parents and brother and sister. I immediately regress to being 8 years old. I think there's a bit of that going on. They've known each other since they were kids, so they tend to regress back to acting like kids when they are around each other.

Episode 4. I'm really enjoying this. Choi Seung Hyo's annoying partner isn't so useless after all. I'm starting to like him.

Kind of a pun that I'm bummed out that we didn't get to see his bum, well, more of his legs really.

Bummer. They did that on purpose.

Episode 3. NO SPEEDOS! We were robbed.

I thought swim pants were banned for competition by FINA.

Very true. Thank you.

Thank you. That makes sense.

I'm up to episode 2.

I don't understand the Mom's reaction to the FL moving home. But I also don't understand the FL's actions, either.

1. If I was being bullied at work, and my fiance' cheated on me, I'd quit and move home, too. BUT, I'd also tell everyone. I'd throw my fiance' under the bus so fast that the skid marks in his underpants would be actual tire marks.

2. If I was the Mom, I would be comforting my daughter. If she quit her job, dumped her fiance', and moved halfway around the world to come home, my smart daughter must have a very good reason. I should be on her side comforting her, not hitting her. I'd be on a plane hitting the ex-fiance'.

So, are these a Korean thing?
Or are these a K-drama trope just for the plot, because I've seen these happen in other K-dramas?

I thought Yun Woo was the son from the family who raised Man-Wol after finding her in the forest. Yun Woo and Man-Wol are raised as brother and sister.

Yun Woo [Past] |is Detective Park Young Soo [Present]. So the Detective is the reincarnation of Yun Woo.

So in Chan-Sung's final dream about Man-Wol, it implies that Chan-Sung the same little boy who found Man-Wol as a child? That would make Chan-Sung the reincarnation of Yun Woo, but he's not. So how is that the moment where Chan-Sung met Man-Wol in the past? It makes no sense.

I've just rewatched Hotel Del Luna, and I have a question about the finale, so I'll put my question behind a spoiler.

The first time I watched it, I didn't think it was inevitable, either. It was only after watching it and thinking about, that it made sense. Also, it's not how most K-dramas usually do a romance.

Did they ever make dramas like this?

This was the very first K-drama I watched. I've watched many K-dramas since, both older ones and newer ones, and this drama is totally unique.

A very satisfying ending. All loose ends are tied up.

True. But I love that this show does not go where you think it's going. Very unique.

Also, when you think about it, it was inevitably going to turn out that way. He was using his charm to con her. I'm still on the fence as to whether he really loved her as much as she loved him.

Hotel Del Luna was the very first K-drama I ever watched. I didn't know any K-drama tropes. I wasn't familiar with Korean culture. It was all new to me. I've watched many K-dramas since, and I just started rewatching Hotel Del Luna. It still holds up!

The plot is VERY unique compared to all the other modern day fantasy K-dramas I've watched (like My Demon, Doom at your Service, Destined for You, etc. etc.). There are no tropes in Hotel Del Luna. You'd lose if playing a K-drama BINGO card. Every episode is bitter sweet, and I love it.

I thought Seong Jun worked for Wonderland as some sort of AI concierge, since he could talk to the live Wonderland people and he didn't seem to belong in Bai Li's Wonderland scenario. She never knew who he was, and she never had flashbacks to him.

And it seems like the rules for Wonderland were, "You have to be dead before we start you up in Wonderland." EXCEPT when the writer wanted to have a different plot, and then we can do it if your boyfriend is in a coma.

All the tech is sci-fi future stuff, including their phones.
