Maddie & Christina are back for another throwback drama! They have never seen this Joseon-era drama before and are very intrigued by the premise — and WANT TO SEE MORE OF YEO JIN-GOO.

The Crowned Clown tells the story of a struggling king named Lee Hun and a clown performer named Ha Sun who look IDENTICAL. Ha Sun is brought to the palace to stand in for the king and must adapt quickly to royal life. Along the way, Ha Sun ends up falling for the queen.

The king and Ha Sun are played by the wonderful Yeo Jin-Goo (Hotel Del Luna), and the queen is played by the incredible Lee Se-Young (The Red Sleeve, The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract).

The Crowned Clown premiered in 2019 and is a 16-episode drama available on Viki.

If you haven't seen this drama, come watch it with them!

Christina & Maddie are here to review Hotel Del Luna! (Christina needed a palate cleanser after the Moon Lovers ending—IYKYK.)

Hotel Del Luna stars the fabulous IU (My Mister, Moon Lovers, When Life Gives You Tangerines) as Jang Man-Wol and the cutie pie Yeo Jin-Goo (The Crowned Clown, Link: Eat, Love, Kill) as Koo Chan-Sung. This story is about a mysterious hotel that caters only to ghosts. Man-Wol has been the hotel’s owner for years, cursed to stay there, while Koo Chan-Sung becomes the new manager. He helps the hotel’s ghostly clientele resolve their unfinished business before passing on to the afterlife.

This drama came out in 2019, and it still holds up today. It’s on Maddie’s top ten list, so that’s saying something! It has everything—fantasy, emotion, romance, cute banter, and humor. So let Hotel Del Luna be the next drama you watch!

Hotel Del Luna is a 16-episode drama available on Netflix.
