Mark your calendars, K-drama fans! The whispers have turned into exciting news: a “male version” of the popular 2019 drama, Hotel Del Luna, is officially in the works and heading straight to Netflix! Prepare for a new realm of supernatural intrigue and captivating romance with the tentatively titled series, Grand Galaxy, penned by the acclaimed Hong Sisters.
For those who fell in love with the enchanting tale of the ethereal Hotel Del Luna, its eccentric owner (played brilliantly by IU), and the grounded hotelier (the charming Yeo Jin Goo), this news is nothing short of a dream come true. Now, get ready to flip the script and delve into a story centered around a male lead navigating the mysteries of a unique establishment.
What We Know So Far About Grand Galaxy
While details are still emerging, the premise of Grand Galaxy is generating significant buzz. Described as a “male-centered” counterpart to Hotel Del Luna, we can expect a similar blend of supernatural occurrences, compelling character dynamics, and perhaps even a touch of melancholic beauty that made its predecessor so captivating.
The talented actress Go Min Si, known for her performances in dramas like Sweet Home and Youth of May, has reportedly been offered a significant role and is said to be positively considering it.
Recent reports also suggest that actor Lee Do Hyun (18 Again, Sweet Home, Youth of May) has been offered the coveted male lead role and is currently reviewing the offer.
The possibility of Go Min Si and Lee Do Hyun reuniting on screen is particularly thrilling for fans who witnessed their captivating chemistry in both Sweet Home (as siblings) and the deeply moving romance in Youth of May. Their potential on-screen dynamic in a supernatural setting like Grand Galaxy is undoubtedly a major point of interest.
Many fans remember Kim Soo Hyun‘s cameo at the end of Hotel Del Luna as the owner of “Hotel Blue Moon,” which led to speculation about a potential second season centered around his character. However, with his recent Kim Sae Ron dating controversy it seems unlikely he will be asked to take on a role in the new series. Release Window:
With casting still underway, the production is likely in its early stages. Therefore, the current expectation is that Grand Galaxy will be released on Netflix sometime in 2026 or later.
