Love in the Hotel (2024)

A Nice Bit of Silly Fluff

Another completely biased review from me to you.

Initial impressions: if Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella started smoking crack together late at night they might come up with this storyline. I don't know wtaf is going on but l am laughing my ass off. Really super attractive cast with great wardrobe and hair. (Including 'those ladies' lol.) The location (hotel?) is wonderful too. BTW, this has nothing to do with What's Wrong With Secretary Kim so far. Completely different story line. And since each episode is ~10 minutes long, including the intro/exit credits at around 1-2 minutes, leaving about 7 minutes or so of story, you can easily watch this in a couple of hours. I do wish the subtitles were a bit better, but having them be so bad actually adds to the weirdness.

All the spoilery bits are below. Read at your own risk!

Episode 1, I think she got sucked into a book world/game? ?
Episode 2, I shouldn't be laughing this much for such a silly show but I am.
Episode 3, the 'falling into a kiss' trope is done so badly and yet so well. Definitely LOL! Also same actor is playing 2 roles (so far) 'since all bossy bosses look alike, and the budget for the cover of web fiction is limited'?
Episode 4 with him boxing ?I just can't.....
Episode 5, I can't believe how adorable the ML is, allergic to alcohol and the FL was able to save him with mouth to mouth!
Episode 6, the ML is playing yet another character? Too funny. And the chef is great!
Episode 7, oh no, ML doesn't remember her. Boohoo!
Episode 8, hmmm aphrodisiac drug trope?
Episdode 9, well that's one hell of a twist on the drug trope! lol
Episode 10, ok, the pigeons in the courtyard scene was pretty cool
Episode 11, cheesiest lines with the new "SML"! But I love her. Best "SML" ever! And this is a story line that I'm having a hard time believing got through the censors
Episode 12, another twist! I like the 'real' ML's character too! And whoa, the "SML" really looks beautifully androgenous in that suit dress.
Episode 13, the playing scene is a bit silly
Episode 14, psych!
Episode 15, another interesting twist! My head is starting to spin with all the twisting. but why did it have to get all angsty? I wish it would have stayed light-hearted and weird
Episode 16, hanging off the merman's ass lol
Episode 17, the edge of the world is pretty cool. why do FLs always talk out loud to themselves in such embarrassing ways? Just curious. Why is his tux so awful, the rest of his clothes are wonderful!
Episode 18, I don't understand the changing the card bit. Or the wedding
Episode 19, and evil NPC? 'the bus takes 30 minutes' lol
Episode 20, wedding kiss, what an awesome scene! But damn, that ending after all that silly fun! "you are the determination in my chaotic life" and the huge smile on her face, at first. And then....

An Adorable Couple That Will Make You Laugh

**This is just my opinion. I truly appreciate all of the hard work and dedication that went into the production of this drama. Thank you.**

Love In the Hotel was a breath of fresh air after the heavier dramas I've been watching. Hu Wei and Xu Meng Yuan make an adorable couple. They both give their performances their all and did a wonderful job. The story was another matter. It was funny in it's utter ridiculousness for about the first half of the series. The writers tried to be more serious in the second half. I think that the second half lacked the charm that the first half had or it might have just been the laughs.

Overall, I'd recommend this drama because it's different and it's funny. Just leave your brain at the door or have a few drinks first. You'll enjoy it more, lol. I know I laughed a lot more than I would have expected. It's so goofy. The episodes are short too, so you could watch them on breaks at work or school without having a heavy plot to worry about.
