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.
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.
I dont even need to explain. We all thought of this drama when we read the summary.

Unlike Hotel del Luna, the plot is not centered around romance(although there is some romance), but they are similar in a different way.
- Both dramas change the perspective of the viewer through unconventional ways: Hotel Del Luna uses ghosts while Prison Playbook uses prisoners. The stories of the ghosts and their path to redemption teach us many lessons about life and its value. In a similar sense, you find yourself immersed in the lives of those wrongfully imprisoned and largely misunderstood. As these dramas incorporate a new and creative way to tell their story, they both deliver outstanding effects and full emotional rollercoasters.
- While the genres are vastly different, you find that boiled down to their cores, both shows teach a lesson about growth. The character development of the leads is outstanding and highlights the importance of those around you, as well as inner stability on the journey of self discovery.
- As Hotel Del Luna deals with fate and the supernatural, Prison Playbook merely plays on misfortune and human treachery.
Overall, one would not immediately draw parallels between the two, but when comparing them in terms of basic themes, there are lot more similarities than expected.

The both have a spooky-like style and involves supernatural creatures (Hotel Del Luna involves ghost and the afterlife world while Tail of the Nine-Tailed deals more with mythological creatures such as the foxes, etc.).
The male lead of Tale of the Nine-Tailed and the FL of Hotel Del Lune both are more than 1000 years old and have a past that ties with someone important that they have lost.
Also the concepts of reincarnation and past lifetimes are an overarching theme in both shows.

Both drama and film focuses on the spirits of the dead who stay within a magical place, waiting for their chance to go to heaven whenever they consider themselves ready. As they await for their turn to go to the afterlife, the beautifully flawed spirits settle their conflicts and differences, healing all while learning how to let go of the life they left behind.
Nestled deep in the heart of Seoul’s thriving downtown sits a curious hotel, the like of which no one has ever seen before. Old beyond measure, the building has stood for millennia, an ever-present testament to the fact that things are not always what they seem. Running this hotel is Jang Man Wol, a greedy, suspicious soul who has spent the past thousand years acting as the establishment’s CEO.
Bound to the hotel by a deity who keeps her there to save her from going berserk and self-destruction with rage, hatred and thirst for revenge. Her only hope of escape is if she can let go of her resentment and hatred and find love. Trapped in her resentment for a betrayal, Man Wol is doomed to spend all of eternity running this odd establishment, catering to the needs of the most peculiar clientele.
Things take an interesting turn when Goo Chan Sung shows up. Once the youngest assistant manager ever to work at a multinational hotel corporation, Chan Sung finds himself forced to manage the Hotel del Luna because of a deal his father made with Man Wol years ago. Excellent with managing money, he starts to put Jang's excessive spending and disastrous financial situation in order; that may be exactly what this odd establishment and its cursed CEO needs.
