Hotel of the dead

It's been awhile.

[Contain spoiler for Hotel Del Luna]

So, I just finished this Korean drama, called Hotel Del Luna. I didn't binge watched it even though I did have time to finish it in a day (following someone advice). But that isn't what I want to talk about. I want to talk a bit about this drama and why it matters at the moment. This drama is probably the first k-drama I ever watched maybe in my life, if not in decades (because I don't remember watching any asian drama except japanese or chinese dramas).

I really like it. I didn't feel disappointed with the ending, or didn't feel empty even (because i know very much what feeling empty is like, so this is not). It makes me feel better, or relieved. The feeling when you had to let go, the memories, everything, in a good way. This is what the guest hotel of the dead is all about. A hotel that provide comfort for the dead, of their remorse, regret, pain of the worldly matter. Isn't that nice.

This drama hits me home in several places. Story about death, about remorse, letting go. I've been struggling with this invisible monster, a little help from a fiction does me wonder, if life is nothing but a fiction, of someone else novel. Is it the story of letting go, maybe the romance, yet it makes me want to want more of this life. Like to love someone again. To hope, to feel. I do not know. Whatever you're, god or author of my story, if anyone is listening. Or maybe you do.

Thank you for making the drama. Looking forward to myself.
