"Grand Galaxy Hotel "
2026, Episodes unknown .

Forecasted around the same time as "Can This Love Be Translated?"
Three years ago.
I still have the idea that "Translated" was more an in-between, as good as it is.
Anyway, new life coming to the HS-corner of Kdramaland soon :

"Grand Galaxy Hotel is a memorial hotel to console dead souls and the hotel is known for its world-class service."

Reminding of " Hotel Del Luna " ?
We 'll see !

Sounds a lot like Hotel Del Luna, likely without IU. I wasn't a big fan of that one.

@EllenInEdmonton I am not always really a fan of mentioned actress ' acting.
But admiring her for being able to have 100% control of her life in Korea' s showbizz.
In " When life gives you tangerines " she was really good !
" Hotel Del Luna " and "Goblin" are the two HS-dramas I liked to watch once, not for rewatch.

@hanktank61 IU was also amazing in My Mister!! Perhaps she does better at gritty. In HDL, she was mainly treated like a Barbie doll, made to wear a bunch of wild fashions and look amazing. The direction meant that her acting was quite one-dimensional.
I'll watch Goblin again at some point for the fabulous bromance, the fashion, the fantasy, and the sets. I disliked the "romance" in that one.

@EllenInEdmonton @hanktank61 The best I’ve seen from her was in Scarlet Heart Ryeo

I would very much love to see Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Sadly, it continues to be "not available in your region", and I've requested it many times. Several actors I enjoy are in that one.

@EllenInEdmonton @bougiewonderland @hanktank61 She was not in Goblin! And Moon Lovers was rather old fashioned if you ask me, did not finish. But I'm not such a fan of historical #kdrama

@EllenInEdmonton @bougiewonderland @hanktank61 as in the clearly not even trying to be historically accurate historical, I love it when set in the 20th century

@mel @EllenInEdmonton @hanktank61 so inaccurate that at some point I thought they’d messed up by calling two bothers the same thing—but no! King Taejo canonically gave two of his sons the same name! WTF!

@bougiewonderland @EllenInEdmonton @hanktank61 No idea about this specific situation, but in European history it was not uncommon to give succesive children the same name, bc chances were slim they would survive the first (few) years and in certain families it was important to have the same first name in every generation. Could have been that nr 1 was ill when nr 2 arrived, bit then nr 1 recovered again? Just thinking out loud here

@mel @EllenInEdmonton @hanktank61 There is the one case on my family! I was looking up church records and couldn’t figure out why dates made no sense for that one kid. Turns out they had a baby, named him Jean-Baptiste, then he died, had another, named *him* Jean-Baptiste, then he died, had another and named him Jean-Baptiste too! This one survived, luckily, or I wouldn’t be here haha!

Loooooots of Jean-Baptistes in my family in the 19th century. So weird. But never so much as those three!
