Meh
I still do not understand why this was so popularThe only good thing about this drama is how Goblin was considerate to his bride and did not sexually exploit the teenager throwing herself onto him. He WAITED for her to grow up and become adult first. That was commendable
The bickering Goblin-Grim Reaper was NOT funny to me...
That's all I remember

Meh
Nothing newpalace politics, greedy fenale villain, eccentric ML who is also half villain, dumb FL
Of all characters, I remember only the Tastefully Yours ML for his excellent acting of a seemingly good but super slimey character
and I remember being totally tired of ML who was too blood thirsty possessive and cemented, all the way to the end
and yeah there was a bunch of pretty young princess, I thought wow what a chick bait
overall - I dont see why this drama was so popular. Honestly.

Beautiful Visuals Can't Save This Incoherent, Boring Story
Hotel del Luna is proof that production value and lead actress charisma can't save a fundamentally broken script. Lee Ji-eun is genuinely captivating, and the cinematography is gorgeous—it's a visual feast. But that's where the praise ends.The story is a mess. Plot points happen randomly without logic. The central mystery isn't intriguing; it's just poorly constructed. The romance feels forced and lacks chemistry despite the actors' efforts. Supporting characters are cardboard cutouts with throwaway backstories. Pacing is painfully slow in the first half, then rushed in the finale, leaving you frustrated rather than satisfied.
You're essentially watching a pretty box with nothing inside. Skip it unless you're desperate for aesthetic content.
Final Verdict: 6.5/10 - A visual spectacle that squanders its potential with lazy storytelling.

Miles wei did not disappoint. I missed seeing him in modern drama as the rich, cold, aloof lead and glad this one was worth the wait. Sweet slow burn cozy watch. Also laughed a lot even though didn't expect it to be a comedy. May not be your cup of tea if your not patient with the romance but its beautiful to me and all about returning to love and not falling in. Though i didn't like how the leads kept secrets for so long.
Highly reccomend for Miles Wei lovers!!!!

A bunch of insane psychotic people elbowing up and having a mud fight in a cesspool
This is like a study of insane psychotic peoplea bunch of ppl doing whatever it takes to climb up the social/power/money ladder.... Like a huge mud fight in a cesspool.... So ugly... and without ANY character growth... the characters keep going down, instead of up...
So this is very Hwood type plot .... contrary to the principles of good storytelling ... and thus, a waste of time. NO CONTENT.
The characters start being shady... FL is a chronic liar and manipulator pushing to move on up higher.... the ML is the only one who is somewhat decent, at least his initial goals were to bring justice and revenge for his father. Nana poses with her French haircut and super thick obviously plastic lips...
And the drama keeps getting only worse
This is like a study of insane psychotic people all playing mind games as to how to step over each other. BORING.
6 episodes was enough to get the idea and DROP
The drama has some good acting but a cheap plot - and the lack of content is "made up" by shocking provocative decadent scenes, like .... grabbing an item by bare hand out of a used toilet to appease the villain, or two women making out hard.
Some people said the drama is supposedly a social commentary on what actors etc are forced to do - but that is the point, this drama shows NOBODY FORCED THEM - these ppl **** willingly chose **** to engage in very low level and criminal stuff to get status etc and climb up to the top.
THE CHARACTERS IN THIS DRAMA ARE ALL SUPER GREEDY ELBOWING UP AND THEY NEVR GROW, there is nothing noble or positive (except ML had some and lost it)
Why spend 12 hours watching a bunch of ppl in deep hell and CHOOSING to stay there

Enfin terminé..
Enfin terminé après plusieurs mois de pause 😅Visuellement, le J-drama m’a un peu déçue : montage parfois brutal, coupures étranges en plein moment intense.
Mais côté histoire, j’étais à fond ! Une romance impossible bien construite, avec des sentiments sincères et progressifs. J’ai vraiment accroché jusqu’à la fin.
Petit bémol pour le jeu de Kaoru, parfois un peu trop exagéré, contrairement à Manami qui était excellente — très belle découverte.
C’est vrai que le traitement du harcèlement m’a un peu dérangée, trop banalisé à mon goût 😅
Mais malgré tout, ça reste une bonne série : 8/10, je recommande 👍

started for the laughs, stayed for the feels
so fun! FL is a must watch. i laughed so much.i loved that the pair was bonded from the start. they had good chemistry & worked together against the odds. the schemes they came up with are out of the box. i loved seeing the different sides of ML. FL had the funniest faces and weirdest feet.
great transmigration romance with a happy ending.
the worst parts are MLs wig lace and the fact that her sister lasted as long as she did.
would actually rewatch. for verticals, this was perfection.

It was just okay
I love Mile/Apo ever since KinnPorsche and I only watched this because of them, but I feel this was over hyped a bit. Mile/Apo are two of the best actors I have watched in a long time and I was a bit disappointed that they were chosen for this series with how talented they are. This wasn't as good as I thought it would be and I think their talents were squandered with this. I loved the setting and the plot was pretty good, but the delivery was wrong and I blame the directing. There was a missed opportunity to turn this into a banger BL with a good plot and some serious spicyness, considering we know that Mile/Apo can deliver some spice, but maybe that's the fangirl in me screaming 😱 because there was only one spicy scene between them (which was backwards) and then no more. I watched the quote on quote "uncut" version, yet I 'm still waiting for the "uncut." It didn't live up to the hype.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Unique
Love Crossed masterfully balances virtual dreams with real-world stakes. It explores the loneliness of our modern digital age and the courage it takes to be imperfect in a world that constantly demands a filtered, curated version of reality. I was surprised by the sheer depth of the writing; it isn't just a simple romance, but a thoughtful story about the value of tangible, real-life connections. If you are looking for a drama that is unique, visually striking, and emotionally resonant, this is a must-watch. It’s a rare gem that respects its characters' growth and leaves the audience reflecting on their own relationship with the digital world.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Not bad at all!
This was pretty good for not having well known actors. History types of BL's are usually spot on when it comes to a plot. It gives "I Feel You Linger in The Air, Letters to Rati, and Love Upon a Time" vibes. Some of the acting could of been better, but these aren't well known actors, so I think it was as to be expected. I dislike that the main couple didn't end up together in the end and the father finally grew some sense; even though it took one of his son's dying for him to obtain that, but all in all this wasn't a bad watch, although it might've been more popular had well known actors been chosen for this instead.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Silent secret crush
The main and second leads had really cute moments and had an overall good story together. But, the middle dragged on far too long. It really could've been a 26 or less episode series. I started to lose interest near the back half. Pacing is very slow and story was quite predictable. They did a good job wrapping up all the loose ends, which I really liked. Also, bonus points for getting Zhang Yuan to sing! The music was great throughout. Overall a solid watch if you are looking for something easy, not very stimulating, and fan of the young love that matures.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

1 The Art Of Park Hae Young ✨
My liberation notes , My mister , another miss oh , we are all here trying
We’re in a universe of one of the best korean Screen Writers Park Hae-young. Every character will be flawed and often at their worst phase of life
Her writing is always a meditation of the pain every character feels. She finds ways of bringing it out at Her pace. every character of hers shows feels real vulnerable and imperfect ...
every word every dialogue every discussion has meaning and depth ..
these shows show u the hidden truths .. the unwanted talks and cuts deep into your soul ... every story feels deeply personal and reflective, almost like reading a diary .. some type of therapy
these shows have no plot twist or major turns out .. they focus on emotions feelings ,mental health .life challenges
Every character in her shows is searching for a way to live to love to survive .. a way to life
aren't these issues the most important ones after all 💟

Introducing J-GPT: Your AI assistant for 'naughty' JBLs
Scriptwriter: So, J-GPT, I need help adapting a very popular manga/anime into a live-action drama.J-GPT: What an exciting project! How can I be of assistance?
Scriptwriter: Ummm. Can you write the whole script?
J-GPT: Of course! I’d be happy to be of help. Can you tell me what the manga is about?
Scriptwriter: It’s a one-night-stand-to-fuck-buddies-to-romance BL.
J-GPT: Why, what an excellent summary of an original and universal theme—and a very human one. Would you like it to be a work-place romance—or a random hook-up at a gay bar/through Grindr?
Scriptwriter: I’ll have to check if upstairs will allow me to say ‘gay’. But why not both?
J-GPT: Excellent idea! And how thoughtful of you to notice that office workers need not connect just through Slack—but through Grindr as well! Based on the demographics of the BL audience, might I suggest a lean, muscular dom-top, and a very pale twink bottom?
Scriptwriter: Well, the manga has both, but the bottom is ‘unexpectedly naughty’.
J-GPT: What a subversive and transgressive idea! The writers clearly know what they are doing. Is he naughty because he’s a power bottom, or because he controls and initiates all their encounters? Or is he ‘naughty’ because he is simply not passive?
Scriptwriter: I think the latter.
J-GPT: Got it. Might I then suggest you make him a ‘nerd’ with glasses, who becomes instantly attractive—wait for it!—as soon as he takes his glasses off?
Scriptwriter: How did you…?
J-GPT: What an insightful—and human—question. The manga writers work with a tradition that’s dozens of years old—which speaks to the human condition. Would you like me to tell you more about it?
Scriptwriter: No. The manga and the anime are both explicitly sexual. Like, pornographically sexual, with explicit depictions of gay sex. How do we protect the viewers from reality by making it less sexual?
J-GPT: That is a difficult—and profound—question. Anime and Manga are unreal, and so, we can make sex realistic. Drama is more real, but the viewers cannot bear too much reality. What a conundrum! Might I suggest casting two actors—both attractive, of course—who are so uncomfortable with physical intimacy that when they kiss—I mean, touch their lips—that all eroticism fades away? The more attractive the actors, the more disconnected the audience will feel. As for the sex scenes, might I suggest throwing a white sheet over their whole bodies so that the viewers do not—and need not—see the sex? Would you like me to find an 800-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets for this purpose?
Scriptwriter: Ummm… wouldn’t it get dirty?
J-GPT: Excellent question. Since the sex is unreal—in fact, I recommend that the actors be positioned in such a way that their union defies all laws of gravity—the nitty-gritties of sex—no pun intended—need not be worried over. Don’t worry! You are doing a great job—and, a very human one.
Scriptwriter: Yes, you keep saying that. And you are not human.
J-GPT: How insightful of you to say that! And how human.
Scriptwriter: Urgh... Now, the characters.
J-GPT: Great. Let’s work on that. Would you like me to write out a plausible three-dimensional character for each of the protagonists?
Scriptwriter: No thanks. We already know that the parents are out of the picture. And that the top is an arsehole, and the bottom a doormat. Do we need anything more?
J-GPT: How imaginative! I am impressed by your creative thinking. If you hadn’t thought of it before, killing off one set of parents, and having the other divorced, is always a reliable strategy. I also highly recommend flashbacks. In Asian drama, it is very easy to make an actor look 20 years younger: just give them a fringe. No need for extra actors.
Scriptwriter: I told you: it’s a manga and an anime, so much of this is already written. Though I'll use your suggestion about the flashback and the fringe. The question is, do we need more?
J-GPT: Indeed. My mistake. I apologise. But if we are already protecting the viewer from the reality of sex, let’s also protect them from the reality of the real world. The top, I presume, is a loner—and yet, popular. The bottom—by convention—must be sympathetic. I hope you introduce a relative to show the human side of the bottom.
Scriptwriter: Done. And what about the central conflict?
J-GPT: Yes! Excellent observation. Please describe it.
Scriptwriter: Let's see… The top ranks his hook-ups from one to ten (or is it hundred?). He rates the bottom as a zero. The bottom finds out.
J-GPT: What a wonderful way to manufacture conflict. I don’t think you need more. Might I suggest a run-time of no more than 60-75 minutes?
Scriptwriter: Oh? Then how do we split it?
J-GPT: Ah, that is indeed a difficult question—and very human. How many sexual acts does the Manga/Anime have?
Scriptwriter: I don’t know. Eight? Ten?
J-GPT: Those are wonderful numbers. Would you like me to tell you why?
Scriptwriter: No. How do we split it?
J-GPT: Ah, that is a tough one, isn’t it? One sexual act per episode allows you to split it into 8 to 10 episodes. Each episode then runs around 10 minutes, which should make the viewers excited enough to say: “I might as well. It’s only 10 minutes.” And the few who need protection from reality might say: “What? Only 10 minutes? I need more!”
Scriptwriter: Okay. Do you have enough material to write the script?
J-GPT: Of course! Would you like me to write it for you now?
Scriptwriter: Yes.
J-GPT: What an insightful request—and how human. Here it is…
Reader's Digest:
DO SAY: You’ve been a very naughty boy.
DON’T SAY: Yes, daddy.

A MASTERPIECE IN MAKING ✨
Park Hae Young has worked her magic yet again. After masterpieces like “My Mister” and “My Liberation Notes,” she returns with “We Are All Trying Here.”Actor Koo Kyo Hwan, whom we know from “D.P. 1 & 2,” plays the character of Hwang Dong Man, and Go Youn Jung, known for “Can This Love Be Translated?”, “Resident Playbook,” and “Alchemy of Souls 1 & 2,” plays the role of Byeon Eun A in this drama.
Honestly, when I started it, I wasn’t sure if it was going to click with me or not. It’s unlike the usual dramas we watch,there is no superhuman ML or invincible FL...What we see instead is a deep dive into the very realistic and harsh world of the film industry. When I first started the drama, I didn’t know who the writer was, but I got this uncanny feeling of similarity to “My Mister” and “My Liberation Notes,” and lo and behold, it's the same writer!✨🤗
Unlike the typical K-drama style, which often leans toward a kind of fictional utopia, this drama dives headfirst into the realities of the film world. There are no purely black-and-white characters; every character falls into the grey area, just like most of us in the real world...The characters represent complex emotions like: greed, ambition, jealousy, inferiority, competitiveness, hardship, and the deep desire to be noticed. Each of them has something they love, something they want, and something they are anxious about...
OUR ML & FL
Our ML, Hwang Dong Man, represents the struggle of someone who wants to pursue what he loves but hasn’t gotten his break yet, even after 20 years in the industry. He’s an aspiring director and the only one in the famous film industry group “The Eight” who hasn’t debuted...Despite this, he shows up to face the world with a smile, masking his anxiety with a talkative facade. It’s his way of maintaining a sense of normalcy in a harsh and often demeaning environment...
He’s a character that may be hard to fully understand at first. He uses his love for food and his talkativeness as shields to fill the void within him...Watching his peers move forward while he remains stagnant, he inevitably feels jealousy and anxiety, which sometimes cause him to behave unpleasantly towards his colleagues, friends, and those around him. Still, his struggles make him someone we can’t help but root for...
On the other hand, Byeon Eun A, a producer at Choi Film, is almost the complete opposite...Instead of expressing her emotions outwardly, she internalizes them, letting them build up until they manifest as anxiety in the form of nosebleeds. She reminds me of Lee Ji An (played by IU) from “My Mister,” especially in the way she moves through life with a deadpan expression and eyes that seem to lack warmth...There’s a sense of hollowness and emptiness within her that reflects in her gaze, almost as if her eyes are a mirror to her inner world. She’s known as “The Axe” due to her sharp screenplay reviews and used to be extremely cutthroat in her criticism. However, something happened about a year ago that caused her to change...It seems to be connected to her ex-boyfriend, though the details are still unclear since only two episodes have aired...This is something that will likely give us deeper insight into her character as the story progresses...
Both characters carry their own struggles, and it’s through these struggles that they begin to connect...
OTHER CHARACTERS
Park Gyeong Se, played by Oh Jung Se, is one of “The Eight” and is easily provoked by Dong Man’s blunt and talkative nature. After his movie receives bad reviews, he blames Dong Man for it. He represents someone who externalizes blame, and for him, Dong Man becomes the scapegoat...
His wife, Ko Hye Jin, CEO of Gobak Film (played by Kang Mal Geum), is loyal yet grounded. She’s the kind of person who will show you the truth when you’re wrong. She understands Dong Man’s situation while also recognizing her husband’s tendency to shift blame. Tho I have to say the way she kicks out Dong Man out of their group activities and his brother too when he confronts them about it I found to be very harsh especially the sign outside the restaurant "Dong Man and his brother not allowed here" is very bullying and discriminatory...But I guess she has her flaws too...
Choi Dong Hyeon, CEO of Choi Film (played by Choi Won Young), comes across as narcissistic and self-absorbed. He looks down on others and doesn’t like seeing anyone who might outshine him...
Hwang Jin Man, played by Park Hae Joon (“When Life Gives You Tangerines”), is Dong Man’s older brother. He works hard and struggles but deeply cares for Dong Man and wants the best for him. While he may seem brusque at first, his actions reveal his genuine concern and love for his brother...
There’s still so much more to explore in their stories, and I’m honestly looking forward to learning more about each of them as the series progresses!😇✨
