Hotel Del Luna: The K-Drama I Couldn’t Stop Watching | K-Drama Fans USA

-

 

Hey there 👋

You know those shows you start watching and suddenly it’s 2 AM?
Yeah… that was Hotel Del Luna for me.

I wasn’t expecting to love it this much, but here I am — writing a whole review about it.
So, let me tell you why this drama is 100% worth your time.

The Story (No Big Spoilers!)

Imagine a fancy hotel in Seoul. Now imagine it’s run by a grumpy (but stylish!) woman who’s been stuck there for a thousand years... and the guests? They’re all ghosts.

That’s the quirky world of Hotel Del Luna.

IU plays Jang Man-wol, the forever-chic hotel owner with a tragic past.
Goo Chan-sung (Yeo Jin-goo) is the poor human manager who somehow ends up working there.
Their story? Funny, heartbreaking, magical — all at once.

Why I Fell in Love With This Drama

1️⃣ The World-Building Is Just SO Cool

A hotel for ghosts? Yes, please!

Each episode introduces a new story, and the show somehow manages to make you care about even the side characters. It’s spooky, but also oddly comforting.

2️⃣ IU’s Fashion = Chef’s Kiss 💋

I’ll be honest: part of the fun was seeing what Man-wol would wear next.

Her wardrobe in this drama is a fashion lover’s dream.

3️⃣ All the Feels

I cried. I laughed. I screamed at my screen (multiple times).

This drama hits you right in the heart — and not just because of the main romance. It explores grief, forgiveness, and finding peace.

4️⃣ The Chemistry Is 🔥

IU and Yeo Jin-goo are SO good together.

Their dynamic is playful, tense, and full of layers. Watching them grow closer episode by episode was such a treat.

Final Thoughts

If you’re in the mood for:

✨ Gorgeous visuals
✨ A creative fantasy world
✨ A touch of romance
✨ A good cry (or two)

… go watch Hotel Del Luna. Seriously.
Just maybe don’t start it too late at night — you’ll want to keep clicking “Next episode.”

“I Found Squid Game Yakgwa at Daiso 🇰🇷🍬”

I stopped by Daiso today and picked up something I definitely wasn’t planning on: a Squid Game-themed dalgona yakgwa. For anyone unfamiliar, Daiso is a super popular discount store chain in Korea — kind of like a mix between Dollar Tree and a tiny Target. It’s where you go when you need batteries, dish sponges, cute pens, snacks, skincare… literally anything. Koreans love it for the affordable prices, and honestly, I always find something I didn’t know I needed. Today, that unexpected item was a pack of honey cookies styled after Squid Game. Yep. 🍯 What even is dalgona yakgwa? So first, some context. Yakgwa is a traditional Korean sweet made with honey, flour, and sesame oil. It’s usually sticky, rich, and super nostalgic — something your grandma might serve during holidays. This one’s different though. It’s a mini version, dalgona-flavored (like that burnt sugar candy from Squid Game), and individually wrapped with cartoon versions of the show’s creepy doll and pink guards. It’s hila...
