Hotel Del Luna was a smash hit in 2019 with IU and Yeo Jin Goo at the helm. Now, a “male-centered” version of the drama will be picked up by Netflix for release! The new work by the Hong Sisters, tentatively titled Grand Galaxy, is set to be released as a Netflix original series.
Hotel Del Luna told the story of an elite hotelier who, due to a fateful event, becomes the manager of a mysterious hotel and navigates supernatural occurrences alongside its beautiful but eccentric owner. In the case of Grand Galaxy, actress Go Min Si was reported to have been offered a role earlier this January and is said to be positively considering it. As the project is being described as the male counterpart to Hotel Del Luna, there is growing interest in who will be cast as the male lead and what kind of chemistry will emerge with Go Min Si.
In this regard, there has been recent buzz in the entertainment industry that actor Lee Do Hyun has been offered the male lead role and is reviewing it. Previously, Lee Do Hyun and Go Min Si portrayed siblings in Netflix’s Sweet Home (2020) and went on to play a romantic couple in KBS2’s Youth of May (2021), making their potential reunion a key point of interest.
Since casting is still underway, the show is expected to be released in either 2026 or later. Previously, Kim Soo Hyun made a cameo at the end of the show, being named as the owner of Hotel Blue Moon. Many expected him to lead the next season.
