All the gods will be leaving before the last rain of doomsday. However, an ordinary human girl unexpectedly puts a dent in their plans to retreat thus causing the world to move towards the unknown. Based on the animistic mythology of the Amis tribe, the gods are no longer willing to bless the land that is plagued with environmental issues. One by one, the gods depart the world they once loved. A human girl discovers that the opportunity to reverse her destiny lies within herself and her guardian. Before the final day of judgment, a love story between human and god unfolds.
If Hotel del Luna moved you with love bound by time and regret, Goodbye My Princess will show you the same ache stripped of fantasy — brutal, raw, and heartbreakingly real.
Both understand that some souls are tied not by destiny, but by the wounds they leave on each other.
For love stories that don’t heal cleanly, I map the scars across my profile.

I really liked the magical elements of Jinxed at First and was trying to think of other shows that had this level of magic. The only one that came to mind is Hotel del Luna. Both have good world building and the scale of the show and story feels really big and powerful, like any good fairytale. Hotel del Luna also has a romance, but it’s not as central to the story. The vibe of these shows is pretty similar.
Both FLs are old and powerful and initially antagonistic towards the ML. Both have a bad attitude a lot of the time but genuinely care about the people who work for them. The MLs are kind and generous people without any inherent power. Hotel del Luna is darker and more serious, while Scent of Love is more comedic and character-driven.
In the heart of Seoul stands a mysterious, ancient hotel, managed by the greedy and resentful Jang Man Wol, who has spent a thousand years running it. Bound by a deity to prevent her from self-destructing due to her anger and thirst for revenge, Man Wol’s only chance of freedom lies in letting go of her hatred and finding love. Her eternal curse forces her to serve the bizarre clientele of the hotel. When Goo Chan Sung, a former hotel assistant manager, is forced to take over due to a deal made by his father, he helps manage the hotel’s finances, possibly offering the key to Man Wol’s redemption.
As reading from the synopsis, we get to know the main aspect of the drama is surrounding ghosts. Hotel del Luna is precursor of precision in drama of showing how exactly a generation long curse of guiding ghosts exists.

Hotel Del Luna and No Tail to Tell are both fantasy romance K-dramas that blend the supernatural with modern life, but they differ strongly in tone and emotional weight. Both center on a non-human female lead who exists outside normal human rules and slowly forms a meaningful bond with a human man, forcing her to confront emotions she has long avoided. However, Hotel Del Luna is more melancholic and introspective, focusing on themes of regret, guilt, the afterlife, and letting go, with romance that feels tragic and fated. In contrast, No Tail to Tell is lighter and more playful, using gumiho folklore to explore freedom, identity, and love through humor and modern romance, with a stronger rom-com energy. While Hotel Del Luna emphasizes emotional closure and past lives, No Tail to Tell leans into personal choice, growth, and discovering love without being bound by destiny.
