Hotel Del Luna took me a long time to finish. Not because it’s bad or anything, but I put it on hold late last year after a couple episodes because all the dead people just bummed me out.

In ways of a monster-of-the-week-type show, every episode of Hotel Del Luna presents us with one or more ghosts of people who have unfinished business on earth and, therefore, aren’t ready to pass on just yet. In the meantime, they get to stay at the titular hotel to find out what’s keeping them here. It’s a fun angle, where most stories have a bit of a comedic undertone, but what kept me coming back was the overarching story about Man-wol, the hotel owner, going back hundreds of years, which kept things interesting.

Near the end, some of the episodes got really, really long. While I did enjoy them, especially the last couple of episodes, it’s hard for me to recommend this show, unless you’re already accustomed to shows with episodes that can exceed 90 minutes or if you’re a fan of IU, as she delivers another great performance here.
