BEFORE I CONTINUE let me say this, the most common complaint I read in other Critiques opinions is the same thing over and over.. when they got to the end there were parts they didn't think we're complete, it didn't make sense... THE REASON FOR THIS is simple, you are watching ONLINE, your signal skips a few seconds here and there which translates to minutes of the story missing... In my case I was so confused by the ending I replayed the entire Drama during the night when there's less traffic ONLINE. And Bingo I got all of it and now it made complete sense... I calculated there was 49 mins in total that I missed the first time... In a previous drama I was missing 44 minutes all in one shot... WHEN ONLINE watch it a second time... It's worth it. In my opinion, The Hong Sisters along with Director Oh Choong Hwan, together created a Fabulous stand alone Drama, that surpasses all. The storyline, Music, Scenery, Costumes, all come together to such an endearing story. A writing style rarely seen. You must not discount any scene or communication in this case communication is vital using most of your senses. As I said every scene is vital to the story, if you walk away without pausing you will regret. Let's get to the acting, Ms IU absolute perfection she has her character down so tight that I've seen this person in real life.. actually all but one fits their characters to a Tee. And that one character that left me stand offish was the Lead male Ku Chan Seong, played by Yeo Jin-goo.. I did not think his character was believable in any sense of the word. I think either the Director got it wrong possibly because they were short on timeline. I say this cause I had difficulty believing a man has extreme fear of the unknown and yet is aggressive at the fear... If they had more time to build on his bravery then I could believe him... Just not in such a short amount of time... Which is why I say either the Director didn't change it or perhaps even the Hong Sisters got his personality wrong.. Don't ever get me wrong, I adore the Hong Sisters. I'm even hoping that they will come out with the First ever All Star Female Hero Drama. Many of their Fans narrowed down the Lead cast to a handful of favorite Women ie: Ms. IU, MS. Zhao Liying, Ms. Yukee Chen, Ms Janice Wu, Ms Zhao Lusi. Each with their own set of skills, unique outfits etc with a combination of Action, Romance, Comedy etc with a hopeful Happy ending which we haven't seen in years and an opening at the end for a Sequel... HOTEL del LUNA is a must see for yourself. Don't depend on Critiques,most times we find they were most definitely wrong...
