The minimalist script gave more leeway for the actors to make the characters their own, also for the director to influence the story, and that feature was put largely to good effect.

I've been a Kdrama/film addict for several years now, with a sprinkling of Japanese, Taiwanese, Thai, and Chinese dramas mixed in. I also love the ending. Like others, I would have liked a bit more skinship - not necc kissing, but Chan Sung and Man Wol both being a little bit more grabby with each other would have been useful. maybe my views of love and commitment are naive and antiquated but I'd think CS was the same sort of idealistic romantic].

It would've let them film his confrontation with Tae-seok for real and maybe give Hyun-joong the send-off from the rest of the hotel members that he deserved, rather than just him waiting for Yoo-na alone. Goodness, what a handsome man. That would definitely spook out Mr Second Choice (the astronaut) by seeing so many aliens, especially ghost aliens, heading to Earth from outer space.

But seeing these actors bringing what could have been a boring story-telling into life, connecting emotions between the characters that transit into the viewers' heart, and who knows how much more of the scene was "last minute added on by the crew", I decided to put aside the negative part of the script and enjoy the drama as recognition for the crews' effort. Easily the most fun role I've seen her do, and she looked like she was having a blast as well. Pity him to still have the ghost eyes then. If theres one message that Hotel del Luna has taught us, its that parting is inevitable, but that goodbye is never forever. I like to think of that future glimpse as chansung's imagination and hope for the next life. This was a fun ride.
