Are you a ghost too? ...
『Plot Summary』 A promise from 20 years ago... For over 1,000 years, Jang Man-wol has served as the CEO of "Hotel Del Luna," a hotel exclusively for ghosts located in the heart of Seoul. As punishment for a great sin committed in her past, her soul was bound to the hotel, leaving her unable to die. One day, a human man wandering between life and death stumbles into the hotel and touches Man-wol's precious "Moon Tree." In exchange for saving the man's life, Man-wol makes a strange contract: "When your son grows up, send him to this hotel to be my manager." 20 years later, the son, Gu Chan-sung—who grew up abroad following his father's will and became an elite hotelier—returns to South Korea. Chan-sung tries to escape his fate, but Man-wol gives him a "birthday present": the ability to see ghosts. Panicked and with no other choice, Chan-sung ends up working as the general manager of Hotel Del Luna. Hotel Del Luna is a place where ghosts with lingering regrets in this world can heal their wounded hearts before departing for the afterlife. Though Chan-sung initially trembles in fear, he begins to take pride in his work as he empathizes with the ghosts' sad stories and helps fulfill their final wishes. At the same time, he finds himself drawn to the selfish, extravagant, yet somehow lonely Man-wol. Through his dreams, Chan-sung begins to catch glimpses of Man-wol's tragic past from 1,000 years ago and the memories of her first love. By a prank of the gods, Chan-sung's arrival causes the hotel's "Moon Tree"—which had not bloomed for a millennium—to sprout and begin to flower. This meant that Man-wol's frozen time was moving again, signaling that the time for "farewell," when she must eventually depart for the afterlife, was drawing near. And you, Guest... are you a ghost who came here seeking something, or a human who has lost their way?
