Episode 1 of Hotel Del Luna introduces the main characters, Jang Man Wol and Koo Chan Sung, as well as some of the hotel staff, mainly the bellman, the guest manager, and the bartender. The episode flips back and forth between the past and the present, and between the main storyline and the side stories. 

We do a short recap of the show, and then we dive deep into the episode. We talk about our first impressions of the show and what we loved about the first episode. We discuss:

• What we know about Jang Man Wol
• What we know about Koo Chan Sung
• What we know about the hotel
• How 3 of 14 K Drama Elements show up in this episode, mainly: flowers, alcohol and food.

We close with a few words about Korean names, including how you address someone formally, informally, and our new Korean nicknames.
