Netflix has a wide variety of historical fiction, romantic comedies, supernatural action adventure, and much more. And, as in the case of this highly binge-able show, some have all of these qualities.

When a soul leaves the living world, it needs a place to rest before continuing into the next portion of the reincarnation cycle. That place is the Hotel del Luna, or the Guest House of the Moon.

The deal has been made: 20 years into the future, Man-wol will come to claim Chan-sung. And when the day arrives, Chan-sung has no choice but to fulfill the deal and become the manager of the Hotel del Luna.

Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.
Chucky's greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it's already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and…
