->'''Played by:''' Lee Ji-eun
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: [[spoiler: Being betrayed by her first love]] and thousands of years running Hotel del Luna have left her quite jaded.
* AntiHero: Man-wol may be the series' protagonist, but she can be quite cold, pragmatic, and has next to no compunctions about using her powers to kill someone.
* TheAtoner: Her services to Hotel del Luna and its inhabitants definitely make her one.
* BigEater: Man-wol, despite her petite frame and height, is an ''enormous'' foodie. It's implied that years of serving Hotel del Luna have made her bored, and constantly trying out new food is how she passes the time. [[spoiler: One episode reveals that it was actually a time-travelling Chan-sung who started this habit of hers, seeing as she used to have a similar obsession with gambling.]]
* BlessedWithSuck: Although she was granted immortality and various powers by the deities, Man-wol is clearly weary after years of being unable to cross over to the afterlife.
* CombatHandFan: When she confronts [[spoiler: Ji-won's corrupted ghost, she uses a fan to channel her magic more effectively.]]
* DefrostingIceQueen: Though she detests Chan-sung's presence at first, she eventually warms up to him and outright declares him to be under her protection when [[spoiler: the ghost of a serial killer]] threatens to harm him.
* {{Fangirl}}: Of comedian Kim Jun-hyun.
* ForcedToWatch: [[spoiler: When a jealous Princess Song-hwa orders the deaths of her people, a tied-up Man-wol can only look on in horror and sob as they are tortured and hanged one by one.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: It doesn't really take much for Man-wol to lose her cool. As the series goes on, she eventually matures and loses the trait altogether.
* TheHedonist: One of Man-wol's signature traits is her penchant for extravagance. The girl has more clothes and jewelry than she could ever wear in a lifetime, ''eight'' luxury cars, and a preference for champagne and caviar.
* InelegantBlubbering: The normally stoic Man-wol is reduced to this when [[spoiler: Kim Seon-bi, her faithful bartender, finally departs for the afterlife, but not before leaving one last drink for her.]]
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Man-wol enters a press conference decked out in a regal purple gown, carrying a rifle. Ultimately subverted, however, as this visual is only used to taunt her victim. She doesn't actually fire at him, and just messes up his mental state.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With her best friend, Yeon-woo.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: With Chan-sung. He's a regular mortal, she's old enough to be his ''ancestor.''
* MeaningfulName: In English, Man-wol's full name translates roughly to "long full moon."
* {{Meganekko}}: She wears a pair of glasses whenever she has to do hotel paperwork.
* TheNapoleon: When she's not in heels, Man-wol stands at 5'4, and yet, her staff--and to some degree, Chan-sung--are terrified of her.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Man-wol doesn't look a day over twenty-five, but she's actually thousands of years old, having lived since the Goguryeo Era.
* RapunzelHair: Played with. Though it never reaches her ankles, Man-wol's long, dark hair stops just short of her butt whenever she lets it down.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Man-wol has extremely pale skin and black hair. Helps with her archetype as the AloofDarkHairedGirl.
* RedOniBlueOni: The fiery, hot-headed red to Chan-sung's calmer, more level-headed blue.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: Goes on one after Princess Song-hwa orders the deaths of her best friend and her people.]] It's what gets her the job as Hotel del Luna's owner in the first place.
* TheStoic: Having lived for thousands of years, not much fazes Man-wol anymore. It's a testament to how fucked-up the situation truly is when even Man-wol is rattled.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Man-wol loves champagne so much, she's got crates upon crates of the stuff in the hotel's winery.
* TranquilFury: In one episode, after it's revealed that the man who had [[spoiler: caused the ghost in Room 13's downward spiral has been doing the exact same thing to other women as well,]] a furious Man-wol simply stares at him and [[spoiler: leaves his car to be smashed by a train.]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: To Chan-sung when they finally get together, and with good reason. With Chan-sung being a regular mortal, he's naturally defenseless against supernatural attacks.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Kim Seon-bi, her bartender. She insults every single drink he makes, orders him around despite him being older than her (at least physically), and calls him an idiot every chance she gets. [[spoiler: It's also his departure that causes her to sob the most, albeit in private.]]
