In Episode 2 of Hotel Del Luna. we follow Koo Chan Sung as he navigates between his job at the fancy hotel and his (offered) job at Hotel Del Luna. Koo Chan Sung and Jan Man Wol work together to help a ghost tiger find peace and once again, they go out to eat. We learn that Manager Noh is ready to retire and he pays a visit to Koo Chan Sung, to try and convince the younger man to take his job. We also see the guest manager, Seo-hee, fulfilling the wishes of several guests, demonstrating that the hotel helps ghosts fulfill their wishes and overcome their grudges.

We do a short recap of the show, and then we dive deep into the episode. We discuss:

  • The ghosts who overcome their grudges or fulfill their wishes in order to move on to heaven
  • How ghosts travel to heaven via the bridge over the Samdo River
  • How Jang Man Wol is misunderstood; she comes across as materialistic and aloof, but she can also be very perceptive and caring
  • The food in this episode, namely red bean porridge and sashimi
  • The Baekdu mountain range and its connection to feng shui
  • Formal and informal greetings in the Korean language
