Hotel Blue Moon: Before the Next Moon

"Some souls aren't meant to meet in this life. But the moon... forgot to wait."

After the legendary Hotel del Luna finally closed its doors, a new inn for souls rises under the twilight sky - Hotel Blue Moon, a place colder and lonelier than its predecessor. A hotel not for restless spirits... but for the forgotten, the damned, and those who can't even remember why they died.

Its president: Baek Hyun-woo - a man once feared in life, now bound to a role he doesn't understand. Before his death, he was a powerful mafia boss with bloodstained hands and a name whispered in fear. Now, he runs a ghostly hotel no living soul should know exists.
That is, until Hong Hae-in walks through its doors.

A freshly minted Harvard Law graduate, returned to South Korea after two decades abroad - with no ties, no clear direction, and certainly no intention of working at a hotel.

But someone is watching.

And for reasons unknown even to her, she catches the eye of Hotel Blue Moon's enigmatic president.

Cold meets warmth. Death meets life. And as the line between worlds blurs, Hyun-woo begins to question whether Hae-in's appearance is coincidence... or fate.

Secrets stir within the walls. Cursed guests whisper her name. And in the dead of night, Hae-in starts dreaming of a past that was never hers. Or was it?
