3 Reasons Why "Hotel Del Luna" Is One Of The Hottest Dramas Of The Summer

tvN’s “Hotel Del Luna” has seen an impressive response since the drama began airing in July. It continues to break its own viewership ratings records with every episode and has topped Good Data Corporation’s list of most buzzworthy dramas three weeks in a row.

Here are three reasons behind the drama’s explosive popularity!

Lovable characters created by the actors’ passionate performances

One possible reason for the positive response to the drama is the performances by the actors, who pull viewers in with their attention to detail.

It’s not just the main characters Jang Man Wol (played by IU) and Goo Chan Sung (played by Yeo Jin Goo) that attract viewers either. “Hotel Del Luna” boasts a vibrant cast of characters such as the two men in Man Wol’s past, Chung Myung (played by Lee Do Hyun) and Yeon Woo (played by Lee Tae Sun), Hotel Del Luna’s bartender Kim Sun Bi (played by Shin Jung Geun), Head of Room Service Choi Seo Hee (played by Bae Hae Sun), doorman Ji Hyun Joong (played by Block B’s P.O), and more. Because of the care put in by the actors to make their characters unique, they receive lots of love in turn.

A fantastic story made from a juicy script

“Hotel Del Luna” has also drawn positive reviews for its story that defies expectations. The strange happenings that unfold in the Hotel Del Luna while Goo Chan Sung attempts to look after Jang Man Wol make for an unpredictable horror-romance.

The Hong Sisters’ signature sense of humor and the drama’s parody of more serious works like OCN’s “The Guest” and tvN’s “The Crowned Clown” add to its fresh and enjoyable quality. The heart-fluttering endings that make you curious about the next episode, the stories of Jang Man Wol’s past that slowly come to light, and the romance between Jang Man Wol and Goo Chan Sung all create a deeply immersive experience.

Exquisite visuals within the atmospheric cinematography

From the first episode, “Hotel Del Luna” drew attention from viewers for its beautiful cinematography and rich scenery. Director Oh Choong Hwan made the drama shine with his spectacular and dreamy cinematography and delicate emotional expression.

The drama contains magical scenes of a small, run-down building transforming into a fancy hotel, and the new ghosts that appear with every episode look eerily real.

IU’s styling throughout the drama is also a sight one cannot miss. She not only has various colorful outfits, but also different hairstyles, makeup, accessories, and even nail art. The actress captivates with more than nine different head-to-toe transformations every episode.

“Hotel Del Luna” airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9 p.m. KST.
