* AmbiguousEnding: The last scene has the main characters out and about in a park. Seon-bi is jogging, Seo-hee is walking a dog, Hyun-joong is playing basketball with his buddies, and Man-wol and Chan-sung are having a romantic moment on a park bench. It's not quite obvious what's going on, but it seems that it's a future where all the characters have been reincarnated (if so it would be a DistantFinale).



* TheCameo:
** Kim Soo-hyun appears at the very end of the series as the new owner of the hotel.
** There's a RunningGag about how Man-wol is obsessed with Kim Jun-hyun, a real person who is a comedian and the star of a BigEater gourmet reality show. He pops up in episode 6 and Chan-sung gets his autograph for Man-wol.



* TheFellowshipHasEnded: Once Man-wol has gotten over her 1300 years of hate and made peace with the spirit of Chung-myung, the Hotel del Luna goes out of business. All the dead characters pass over into the afterlife and the hotel literally disappears.



* TheStinger: After the end credits and the usual behind-the-scenes photos of cast and crew, there's one more scene. Several of the Magos (it seems there are 12) have gathered to figure out who will the the new owner of the hotel. The series ends with an unnamed character played by Kim Soo-hyun (a pretty big star in Korean film) showing up as the new owner of the hotel, which has been re-named the Hotel Blue Moon. If this was a SequelHook nothing came of it.



* WhamEpisode:
** Episode 16, [[spoiler: wherein most of the staff finally cross over, and Man-wol and Chan-sung finally bid their goodbyes.]]

* ClumsyCopyrightCensorship: A flashback in episode 10 is set in what's supposed to be an American bar. The makers of the show obviously didn't want to pay beer companies, so there's a sign for Stella Artois that actually says "TELLA ARTOIS" and the sign for Guinness says UINNESS.

Added DiffLines:

* NumberOfTheBeast: When Ji-won the dead SerialKiller is led to room 666 at the hotel, he chortles that it's a cliche. Inside are the ghosts of the seven victims. The camera does not show what happens to Ji-won inside the room, but judging from the screams, it's bad.
