Then, the screen changed and switched to Hyundai.
girl is reborn?
No, no, the hostess is still alive. She has gone through many dynasties, witnessed famines and wars, and then ushered in the era of peace, becoming the president of "Druner Hotel".
This "Druner Hotel" is the "Moon Inn" she first looked for.
Because she used to kill dozens of people with her own hands, there were so many wronged souls buried under the knife, and the murder was too heavy on her body, so she was punished by Aunt Ma to take care of the "Moon Inn".
"Moon Inn" is naturally not an ordinary inn. It serves the dead, not the living, and is a temporary resting place for the dead to go to the underworld/heaven.

How does this sound like a blessing in disguise story?
immortality, in the fairy-xia drama we often watch, but how many skill points can be dreamed of?
The so-called "unobtainable commotion", immortality is so attractive, probably because no one can break the limit of life.
Once life stops flowing forever and time no longer appears precious, you will no longer feel the joy of being alive.
If you have a lot of time to squander, and you can do things you want to do in an endless loop, you will not understand the importance of grasping the present, and you will not cherish the scenery that you may miss at any time.

In these long years, how to spend the boring and never-seeable time?
is of course to learn to have fun. The fun of the heroine
is: constantly changing new clothes, new shoes, new bags, and of course a new car, drinking expensive champagne, checking in at an Internet celebrity restaurant, and taking beautiful photos.
is like a little girl!
Where can we tell that this is actually an "old fairy" who has lived for 1,000 years!
from the perspective of the heroine, this drama is simply a "dress-up game", switching a camera, the heroine will change a set of clothes, almost without repetition.
is obviously a suspense drama, and it turns out to be a fashion drama.
The face of the heroine IU, coupled with exquisite makeup, and different styles of costumes, is completely invisible!
was originally rushing to the plot, but was led by the heroine every minute, and started discussing Zhang Manyue's costume in the play with his friends.
owns the same clothes, bags, shoes and accessories of Zhang Manyue, which is the new wish of every pig girl.
Let's return to the plot!
Because the service object is too special, it is destined to have a special business model for Druner Hotel. In addition to the skills of immortality, the president of
hotel also has the skills to subdue ghosts. Otherwise, how could he sit on the top spot for a thousand years.
The waiters at the hotel are outstanding people selected from the "dead". They still have unfinished wishes in the world, so they have stayed in the hotel. While working for Zhang Manyue, he waited for the realization of his wish before boarding the bus to the underworld.
But because the hotel is set up in the human world, it is still necessary to pay taxes and apply for various licenses in accordance with the laws of human society.
Therefore, a "living person" is needed to help them with these procedures. People's life span is very limited, so the candidates for the managerial position must be constantly replaced. When the old manager was about to "retire", Zhang Manyue set his sights on the male protagonist Gu Canxing.
To be more precise, when the male protagonist was just a little boy, the father was coerced by Zhang Manyue and signed a contract with her to send the male protagonist to the hotel to work in 20 years.
As for why did you choose the male lead? Of course
is not a whim, nor is it a coincidence, but a man-made operation behind Ma Gupo.
, Aunt Ma, was the one who imprisoned Zhang Manyue in the hotel to make her atonement.
She wanted to open a "window" to Zhang Manyue's life, to give her life, old age, sickness and death, love and marriage like a normal person, so she sent the hero to her side.
After the male lead came, Zhang Manyue had withered the tree of life for thousands of years, and magically grew emerald green leaves.
Is this another romantic drama dressed in fantasy?
Any early plots are just for the purpose of making the male and female owners better fall in love?
If this is the case, the viewing effect of the plot will be greatly reduced.
The love between the hero and the heroine can only be regarded as a sideline in this drama. What's more, they fight side by side to subdue the stories of ghosts from all walks of life.
There are some ghosts who are more obedient. They walked to the hotel by themselves after they died. There is no need to worry about the waiters. They only need to serve these ghosts and send them on the road. Some
have been wandering in the world because of excessive obsessions in their hearts, and they have been reluctant to leave.
The male protagonist of the "Silly White Sweet" persona has taken saving the lost ghosts as his own responsibility from the moment he was willing to be a hotel manager.
Every wandering ghost has its own story. There is no connection between
these ghosts, each episode is a brand new story, so it looks like a "unit drama" style.
just tell a few "ghost" stories. After the protagonist
opened the yin and yang eyes, the first thing he saw was a "blind woman" wearing sunglasses.
A woman wearing sunglasses and flatOrdinary people look no different, but when they take off their glasses, they completely switch to the style of horror movies.
She passed away because of a car accident. Before going to the underworld, she always remembered one of her hands. Those hands took her to touch the bread in the bakery, leaving her with warm memories.
So, she wants to touch those hands again. She turned into a ghost, her eyes regained, and she took a look at that person by the way. After the male protagonist of
knew her wish, he voluntarily let the female ghost get up and went to the bakery, and then a weird and funny picture appeared: the protagonist was holding the hands of several shop assistants, back and forth I kept touching, seeming to have a certain sense of touch, trying to find the baker that the female ghost likes...
The unknown shop assistants thought that they had encountered a pervert, so they drove the male lead out...
was originally horrible Film, then switched to a warm-hearted film, and unexpectedly switched to a comedy?
and so on... it's not over yet!
Just after the male protagonist successfully helped the female ghost with sunglasses to find the little brother she was thinking of, we thought the story was about to draw a perfect ending, the female protagonist appeared, she said, things are not that simple.
The ghost in sunglasses has stayed in the world for so long, is it just because I want to touch those warm hands in memory again?
The plot changes too fast like a tornado.
instantly turned into a suspense drama.
When the familiar touch came, she suddenly remembered that this person ran away after hitting her on a motorcycle.
The thought of revenge suddenly ignited, she wanted to put him to death. Ghosts do harm to the world, their own ending is also wiped out.
Fortunately, the male protagonist arrived in time and stopped the female ghost's retaliation, and did not let her fall into the abyss. After sending away the female ghost, the male protagonist detained the perpetrator and went to the police station.
A story that initially looked plain and unremarkable, it turned out to have twists and turns, and "Druner Hotel" has many such stories.
When a pair of parents are holding a funeral for their daughter, they want to choose a husband-in-law for their daughter. The person who finds the token must hold a funeral with the ghost bride to send her away smoothly.
The true story is actually: They are the parents of this girl’s fiance. Because the girl’s obsession with getting married is too strong, her son is seriously ill in the hospital and has not been able to wake up for a long time. She wants him to accompany her. Can think of this method.
The two girls had a dispute. Among them, the rich girl pushed the poor girl off the viaduct, and the poor girl fell from a high altitude and died on the spot, but the rich girl who caused the tragedy had no remorse.
The soul of the poor girl was attached to the necklace, followed the rich girl to her home, and seized her body... The scared rich girl found Zhang Manyue and asked for help, and Zhang Manyue readily agreed.
Will Zhang Manyue expel the poor girl and return the body of the rich girl to her, so that everything can return to the right place? Following the story of
, Kotani will not be spoiled here. You can go to the drama by yourself. There are many similar stories.
Judging from the setting of the plot and the suspense of the production, "Druner Hotel" is indeed a good play, but it is inevitable to embark on the old road of "high driving and low walking".
Douban 9.4 got off to a good start, and it fell all the way since then, and it was "just around the corner" to break below 8. How did
, such a high-potential TV show, fall from the altar step by step?
initially paid attention to this TV series and scored it, mostly fans of the actors, under the action of the fan filter, it will naturally give a "bubble score".
As more viewers participate, the bubble will be gradually diluted,The numbers gradually returned to normal values.
But this will not make the Douban score drop directly from 9.4 to 8.1.
is more a matter of actors and plot. The heroine of
is indeed very arresting, but this is not the heroine's personal fashion show after all. At first glance, the audience will feel amazing, but if they watch too much, they will have visual fatigue.
With the advancement of the plot, the shortcomings of the male and female protagonists gradually emerged and were criticized by the audience. Although there are many reversals in the plot of
, the same routine is used too much, the freshness and excitement are reduced, and the audience's pleasure is reduced.
And the logic before and after the story is often broken, the reasoning is too simple, and the rigor is not enough, which reduces its appeal as a "suspense drama".
It is one thing to attract the audience, but it is another to keep the audience.

"Druner Hotel" is not alone.
was regarded as the dark horse of the Korean drama "The Mist" last year, and the recent Taiwanese drama "We Can't Be Friends" actually has this problem.
relies on suspense and novelty to attract the audience at first, but when the plot is on track, it appears procrastinated and mediocre. The audience came in with high expectations, and after watching the first few episodes, they returned home shouting disappointment. It is difficult for
to maintain a high level from beginning to end, but it is not impossible. When the
screenwriter writes a story, he must not only be immersed in the world he has created, but also let himself go out, put himself in the audience's perspective, and examine the progress of the story and the emotions of the characters in the play.
So, as an audience, after watching this show, what do you remember except IU's face?
