Korean rom-com inspired reflection

I am a self-confessed latecomer into the world of Korean “telenovelas” and romantic comedies. But after confessing on our program AGENDA, I was told by one of our guest “there is no shame in that!” The truth of the matter is that when I posted some of the music and programs I enjoyed, I was actually welcomed into the world of “K Crazy” viewers and followers. Mind you, the business of producing a TV series or several episodes of my current favorite “Hotel Del Luna” is estimated to cost approximately $13.5-16.9 million. The romantic comedy has all the ingredients people would want in a TV series: love, tragedy, history, ghosts, human and ghostly behavior, high fashion, good looking characters, divine and earthly characters, to say the least. The Hotel Del Luna is set up as a pre-departure R&R for the dead either to complete or finish up on things that need to be settled or enjoyed. It’s generally for those heaven-bound via a high end Jaguar limousine, while the nasty varieties get an immediate appointment with the Grim Reaper who toasts them or incinerates them on the spot.

So am I doing a critique or PR piece on the show? Not at all, in spite of its entertainment content, the writers have managed to squeeze in concepts that may or may not be on people’s minds. For instance, in one episode you end up wondering: what do people end up wearing when they die? Is it come as you are? Fine if you croak in a hospital or in silk pajamas, but what about those who are shorts and T-shirt inclined? I’m sure some of my spiritually and biblically grounded friends will say I’ve lost it or maybe I’m doing a tongue in cheek? Of course, we all presume that because we are dead, buried or cremated or both, there will be no human image, just a spirit or a presence that presents itself to St. Peter or to God, depending on your inclination.
