미씽: 그들이 있었다 is a 2020 OCN drama that I think fills the gap quite nicely where Hotel Del Luna's universe did not cover - what happens when a person die but the body is not found.
So, in the world of 미씽: 그들이 있었다, those who died but their bodies are not found - usually victims of crime or circumstance - their souls get transported to a village where they continue to live agelessly until their remains are discovered.
The two male leads had a strange connection with the souls in the village and were able to see them, and took up the responsibility of seeking the remains of the souls so that they could move into afterlive.
At 12 episodes long, 미씽: 그들이 있었다 combined crime, tragedy and was heart-warming with Thomas' character - a youth who drowned in a river when he fought for Korea's independence. His selflessness is caring for the souls that arrived after him made for a very good ending when his remains were eventually found about a century after he arrived at the village.
Watching 미씽: 그들이 있었다 made me feel that somehow, everyone would be found someday. And somehow, that feels hopeful.
Season 2 of 미씽: 그들이 있었다 airs today on tvN, and hopefully I'll get to watch it soon.
