[K-Drama]: “Hotel Del Luna” Joins tvN Dramas’ Elite Circle With High Viewership Rating On Premiere Week

Jul 16, 2019

Completing its premiere week run, Nielsen recorded the second episode with a 7.6% nationwide viewership rating, with Seoul rating surging to 8.8%.

Ranking 4th in the network’s all-time highest K-Drama premiere, Hotel Del Luna is the third tvN drama to enter the elite roster for series released in 2019 after Encounter and Memories Of The Alhambra. Additionally, it is the sixth weekender drama to join the special list of acclaimed tvN dramas, which include classic hits Reply 1988 and Goblin.

From the promotional teasers of Hotel Del Luna, the bickering-turned romance seems to be one of the driving points of the series’ love line. Returning to a lively and amusing role, IU suits up to a strong and eccentric character.

Taking the role of an elite hotelier, Yeo Jin Goo is set to portray Gu Chan Sung. His impressive career specifications boast a “Hotelier of the Year” award with his acumen in managing a top class hotel. Why he will end up at a strange hotel adds curiosity since his competent Harvard MBA degree sure does not fit in to cater wandering demons.

Meanwhile, Lee Ji Eun (IU) portrays Jang Man Wol, the hotel CEO with a cryptic secret of not dying, which had her tied to the hotel for a long time. Character stills of the actress brandish vividly colored clothing and luxurious accessories.
