I was waiting for your thoughts… And Wow! But along with some puzzling and heart-rending outcomes, the ending of “Hwayugi” also offered us notes of hope, so let’s review our thoughts on the finale! But I guess I could give the show the benefit of the doubt that Oh Gong only took out the legendary sword when Seon Mi died – therefore, if Seon Mi hasn’t gotten stabbed, it is possible for a whole chain of other things to happen, including the dragon possessing Seon Mi. With Seung-gi Lee, Seung-Won Cha, Yeon-Seo Oh, Hong-ki Lee. She admits that she can’t, because she has never heard his true feelings once. That being said, our disappointments with the finale stem from the fact that “Hwayugi” was so successful in making us care so deeply about its characters in the first place. So beautifully written and executed… Why no kiss? I’m having withdrawals syndrome now that the show have ended =(. The show’s end was a big surprise. I guess there’s another session on how he takeback Sam Jang from afterlife…, Thank you for this! Oh Gong’s heart hurts again and he realises that Seon Mi is lying – it wasn’t just her following him blindly. After all, this is the thing which held his heart together. There is a silver lining in everything…. Oh Yeon Seo also makes Seon Mi into a truly unique character and I think it’s the way she subtly portrays certain elements of the personality. It would have been meaningless if Ma Wang told him the truth instead. Hwayugi: Episode 20 (Final) by girlfriday. And yes, the GGG saving him and becoming his was an excellent touch. 화유기, A Korean Odyssey, Hwayuki. I don’t know about you but it was slightly unanticipated for me that Bu Ja did not resurface in the end, and that Ah Sa Nyeo just disappeared like this. Is it a place reachable physically? They can be found on my blog. I just love the execution of that part so much! A Korean Odyssey Episode 16 Recap written by thoughtsramble Sometimes I feel like truthfully all we had going on was a love story, sometimes I’m impressed with the amount of things that happens within one episode.

I wanted to be an author when I was young; I had so many notebooks of stories but I think I lost my imagination as I grew up. So thank you and goodnight! And DEFINITELY this: “And they all live happily ever after, spending their days vanquishing evil spirits so there won’t ever be enough gathered in the world to create another black dragon”- omg what a smart way to end the cycle for good! Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. How would the living deal with being left behind? A while later, we see Han Joo visiting haunted estate with the yellow umbrella, hoping to reenact the past victories of Seon Mi. In relation to what Summer Fairy said a while ago (that she thawed the Guemganggo), I would think that she either lied to Seon Mi to make her feel better or that it is true – and that’s why the Guemganggo only froze over for a few seconds. On that, I LOVE how he reiterates his promise to Seon Mi but this time, it’s said with such cheekiness and confidence – such a different rendition from our past iterations of the promise, but signifies something hopeful! They remind me that Life is not full of fluff! Because “Hwayugi” was never really about the battle to save the world, and after watching a drama that focused on developing characters through weekly story arcs and subplots rather than emphasizing the impending fight for humanity, it felt odd to have this reversed in the final episodes. Speaking of Kang, he’s angry that the media, academic and legal circles have abandoned him. In contrast to that, I am quite pleased with how Guemganggo ends up. In the end, it seems like it’s just humans circling themselves into whatever endings they deserve eh? “That must be right. By kshow | March 5, 2018. I KNEW KNEW KNEW they were going to somehow do the “Am I pretty.” “Yes, because I love you.” bit so I was happy it happened and it was even better than I’d expected. I mean, come on we need to stop having sacrificial Sam Jungs who are born JUST to be vessels and to die. They find the Book of Life/Death and erase Seon Mi & Bu Ja’s names from it (Summer Fairy was never human so she’s not on it. It’s a kind of good acting that is hard to appreciate because it’s just good subtle characterisation. Where the Goblin rocked with the visuals and special effects, creating the exact atmosphere for a fairy tale story, Korean Odyssey lucks good special effects and those scenes that would have made it perfect. (I’m attending my first writer’s conference this summer so I have to finish my novel first!) Meanwhile Ma Wang has finally gotten enough points and become a deity so he is able to get his wife back and acknowledge his son. As the episode progresses, we spend a part of the day with Seon Mi wanting to take off the Guemganggo, while a cynical Oh Gong presses for details on their relationship. The drama moves the story to the modern day where the trouble making Monkey King (Lee Seung Gi) is exiled to the human world because of his corruption. Someone count it, I’m sure it’s more than 5 times. He wonders why these people were around his CEO and if it’s possible that she’s not human. She lies that he ate spicy rice cakes everyday and he retorts that if he hates it, he will cause all spicy rice cakes to disappear from the world. He starts to laugh and says with the same vigour as he does with his all pass, “The Great Sage, that nut job!”. While he narrates the story, we see that Oh Gong didn’t die, and is actually being nurtured back to health slowly by those around him. Only for Sun Mi to be stabbed by Kang Dae Sung before she is able to actually perform this role. ... Are you unsatisfied with the ending of the 2018 kdrama , also known as the Korean Odyssey? This is just a fanfiction. Oh Gong returns to Suremdong and walks past the very rock that Seon Mi dies on, the rock where he hugged her body and cried when she died (omg that moment was such a fine scene) – and there we have it, Oh Gong murmuring, “Jin Seon Mi.”. He’s not surprised that he treats her badly but he wonders, “Why does it hurt so badly?” He doesn’t want her to take out the Guemganggo. I did exactly that today.” I love how Ma Wang is reminiscing the things which he hated Oh Gong for previously. Possible that the sword would just obliterate the soul…although come to think of it, that’s pretty selfish of the heavens too if they did that… Ah no good solution to this. The show started with a contract between a demon n a human and ended with a promise between two lovers… How poetic!! In the beginning, SOG was broken and full of regrets because he lost the most important person in his life and he did not show her what he wanted to show her! Seung-gi’s back, rejoice! Khuynh Thế Cẩm Lân Cốc Vũ Lai . And while this death fulfilled Sun Mi’s own wish to not be killed by Oh Gong, it felt like a waste, especially after all the hardships she experienced throughout her life for the sake of being Sam Jang. A Korean Odyssey Episode 19. Not quite sure how it will work out practically though. On a whole, I think the show’s strongest points are its cast’s acting (particularly liked Lee Seung Gi’s, at times Oh Yeon Seo’s and Lee Se Young’s) and interesting personalities, which is refreshing to watch and different from the rom-coms. A self-serving mythical creature's bid for invincibility backfires when he finds himself at the mercy of a woman who can see otherworldly beings. If you love this drama then please read on: 1. A Korean Odyssey. Taken in this view, it makes sense, but when I take a step back, it still appears to be a pointless death – there was nothing that Sam Jung did which actually helped in tackling the dragon. As a tear comes down from his face, Oh Gong says, “We will meet again.” The star necklace blinks and she has to go. PK takes over and sees himself, Jade Dragon, Bu Ja and Summer Fairy in the photo. It is funnily so in line with Oh Gong’s character to finally run out of patience and decides to wreck havoc in the afterlife so that he can get Seon Mi back. Finally, because she says, “You even hung a star in the sky for me,” he suddenly recalls that night in his room when she was so fascinated looking out of his roof at stars. Do you want more than the official ending? PK & Winter General find out what SOG is up to and run after him wanting to help and also find Bu Ja, Octopus Dragon, and Summer Fairy since they know if anyone can do this, Oh Gong can. Very fitting of an ending. He said it is good…it is something he doesn’t find burdensome but instead was glad… Sometimes we think that the living person will be hurt by the love that remains but the love could be a source of strength for the living…. They remained UNPReDiCtable till the last episode!! You have really been phenomenal in this show. This is mostly community based, so leave a comment if there is a song you heard from one of the episodes that you are dying to find. =). In return, Ma Wang reveals that Oh Gong has already taken off the Guemganggo before. Lee Seung-Gi, the multi-talented lead actor of Netflix drama "A Korean Odyssey", is a rising star. This will be a classic for me! Although the ending of the drama is a bit hanging, the shooting locations are still worth a visit in your next Seoul trip. And it’s in this that we find our happy ending — because if there’s one thing we can be certain of, it’s that Oh Gong is going to raise hell in the Underworld until he gets Sun Mi back! Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. I too wish that they would show him wrecking havoc in hell, that would be fun to watch! Currently watching: “Master In The House” and “Grand Prince.” Looking forward to: “Mr. He decides to leave his number with him, so that he can contact him when the peddler returns. So sorry for this late reply! PK, on the other hand, showed us that though he knew the fact that BJ liked him at the point where she will be gone.. It’s not every show that can take viewers from such blissful tenderness…. However, just like how Seon Mi hopes, all this talk about evil spirits does bring back a whirl of vivid memories of their evil spirit capturing endeavours. I just finished binge watching this show on Netflix. 5 Comments. The other demons congregate to discuss about this, while Alice -the real one- turns up because she is confused with a photo she found in her phone. It’s soon night time and the couple has returned to the park. Instead, it’s lunch time and she should know what he likes to eat. He just felt kinda greasy and grimy from the start, without enough backstory perhaps? My Korean Odyssey blues are much better now and I do think it may be my new top favorite kdrama. The two cheeky demons of our show look over the gorge, where Ma Wang reveals that he’s going to build a hotel to absorb all the evil spirits and rack up points. Change ). A Korean Odyssey walks in the footsteps of Goblin, but with less cinematic value. I like it that Seon Mi wasn’t the one who removed it. ... Tasked to deliver a package that could end world war, six soldiers must skate across a frozen sea, unaware of what they’re carrying. Shouldn’t someone have mentioned this earlier? Are you a writer?? Seon Mi tears up seeing him with his Guemganggo, while Ma Wang explains to Secretary Ma that he intentionally withheld the truth from Bo Ri – that Oh Gong is the new owner of Guemganggo, not Seon Mi. A young woman is found brutally murdered in a Copenhagen playground. As for Oh Gong, his love for Sun Mi has inspired him to become a better version of himself: a Great Sage who, when it counts, does what is right instead of simply what best suits him. Seon Mi cute-ly reminds Oh Gong that they have been to many places – the bookseller’s mansion, the supermarket and a love motel. He sighed that the monkey had his real punishment now and is being sad and lonely somewhere. I’ll figure out why later.). This is a reinterpretation of classic chinese novel Journey to the West into the present days with a romantic-fantasy twist. He brings her to a nice and quiet park and Ah Sa Nyeo tells him not to struggle as Bu Ja has already totally disappeared before she became an evil spirit. She initially wonders if it’s because Sam Jung has died, but upon reading the news that Kang has fallen in the circle of politics, she realises that she really became an evil spirit. All the best to you!! Because I love you. what about him driving though? Turns out Bo Ri has suggested to the Heavens for Seon Mi to return from the Underworld for 1 day so that she can remove the Guemganggo. Thank you for your support! But I can’t believe we really just end there and then, without another last scene of our couple together!! Pingback: Thoughtsramble in 2018 | THOUGHTSRAMBLE, It was a very interesting story. HOW CAN IT ALL END SO QUICKLY I NEED MORE SON OH GONG. Mar 03, 2018. It’s sad that he doesn’t get to see his love anymore, but it’s consoling that he now has his child and a goal to work towards. What happens when a love one is gone? and that it kinda makes sense why Sam Jung got stabbed by Kang because she was determined not to let the stabber be Oh Gong. ( Log Out /  No problem and thank you for your comment! It was so wistful when Ah Sa Nyeo tells PK that Bu Ja did like him. I think the show did slow down at some points, could have been tighter in others, but for the most part I’m pretty pleased with this journey which has really taken my heart ups and downs, and in love with the character of Son Oh Gong. I wasn’t too impressed initially at how Seon Mi kept saying throughout the day, “Let me remove the Guemganggo,” or to that effect. “I hid something from you.” Oh Gong takes off the Guemganggo himself and it disappears. I love it how they do pay homage to previous iconic scenes because thatmakes the show more cohesive! But that’s not to say that the finale didn’t give us some form of closure: we know that everything will be resolved in time. Ma Wang has such a greasy feel when he smiles so eerily sometimes! On the cohesiveness and coherence of our Sam Jung plot – I get it that there is some meaning to Sam Jung being stabbed because that broke the death fate linking the two together (I guess they are trying to say that being stabbed at the hands of Kang is better than Oh Gong, despite the result being the same?) Ma Wang was in on the plan so he could suggest to Elder that they send Seon Mi to get off the GGG. After all, this is the promise that really kicks start the whole series. So I’ve written my own fanfiction version of how I think it ends. Does it not occur to you that one would have to stab the other at the expense of love? So keep me in the loop, will be happy to support! As if to provide us some context and I guess closure, General Frost asks PK if it’s regrettable hearing Bu Ja’s real feelings, but PK doesn’t think that way. More to the point, Seung-gi’s back with perhaps the most perfectly cast role, which is a promising way to kick off one of the big buzz projects of the year. Noomi Rapace stars. He calls, “Jin Seon Mi,” and reveals that he also remembers her last words. This show is unabashed in its criticisms of humans, and while desolate, it does make sense that the people who placed him on the pedestal would also be the ones who pull him down and bury him. For me, I’m glad this does not stop my later appreciation of the show because Lee Seung Gi as Son Oh Gong is just fantastic! And if we hadn’t loved Bu Ja (Lee Se Young) so much, we wouldn’t be so outraged that “Hwayugi” spent weeks tricking us into believing there was a chance that the sweet zombie was still alive, only to unceremoniously inform us in the finale that she has been gone ever since Asanyeo took over her body. General Frost smiles, “It’s possible that only your CEO is human,” which scares Han Joo a lot hahaha. I am a writer, not published yet though I do have two short fanfictions that i wrote several years ago and a couple of even smaller original stories. In a flashback, Bo Ri passed a necklace to Seon Mi which would allow her to enter the human world for exactly one day. I did think about it hours later that perhaps, they did circumvent fate because she wasn’t stabbed with the legendary sword but an ordinary one. A Korean Odyssey was a drama that I just planned on waiting to end to wait - until I got sucked in on the very first episode. Your world of Korean Odyssey sounds like fun and chaos and cheeky deities, and I would totally love for such a world to exist, given the way this drama has ended! In someone else’s hands, Seon Mi might not be as likeable today. Overall, there is some incoherence when it comes to character development, the beginning and the ending weren’t all that powerful, and the soundtrack didn’t match the … We see that post-Dragon, Oh Gong has completely forgotten everything that has happened, including Seon Mi. However, I think most shows don’t have a perfect set up of how couples fall in love. He walks over and pulls her into a tight hug. He closes his eyes in tears as Oh Gong emerges from the bathroom, and talks lovingly of the days when Oh Gong leaves the bathroom floor filled with foam suds. I’m also incredibly obsessed with the song, Let Me Out, so I am overjoyed that the drama ended with this soundtrack. Right at that moment, it all fits in together and Ma Wang’s eyes tear up as he asks, “What’s your name?” and the grandson replies, “Hong Hae Ah.” For the readers/watchers of the original, this is the proof we were waiting for, as Hong Hai Er (Red Child in translation) is the child of Ma Wang and Princess Iron Fan. However, in response to my comment in Episode 19 review, seems like there was really no point in Ah Sa Nyeo gearing herself up for being the biggest, worst evil ghost there is then. PK comments that if Sam Jung leaves now, she wouldn’t be able to hear Oh Gong’s true feelings, but General Frost tells him of the time he froze the Guemganggo over – and that was the one time she heard his true feelings. But So here’s my fanfiction version: Oh Gong keeping the GGG had two purposes.
