I would definitely recommend this drama to those who enjoy fantasy and romance
Gradually, Sam Jong falls for Son Oh Gong but is aware that his love for her comes from the bracelet and so she worries about the day when her mission to save the world will be complete, and the bracelet will become ineffectual, his love for her disappearing. The drama follows Son Oh Gong and Sam Jong’s demon-catching missions, with a great calamity that Sam Jong has been prophesised to save the world from, looming ahead of them. And now that Son Oh Gong is reluctantly in love with her, he must also help Ma Wang.
Being indebted to Ma Wong, Sam Jong must help Ma Wang collect points, so that he can become a deity, by defeating demons. However, in this adaption, Sam Jong is a woman, and a golden bracelet, which is provided for Sam Jong by Ma Wong (the bull demon king), makes Son Oh Gong fall in love with Sam Jong so he must protect her from demons that want to eat her, rather than eat her himself. Son Oh Gong is a mischievous character and so, in the original, a golden headband is used to control him, constricting round his head when Sam Jong chants a special mantra. In the original story, Son Oh Gong must go on a pilgrimage with Sam Jong, who is a monk, protecting Sam Jong from demons who want to eat him, as it’s said that those who eat Sam Jong will become immortal. A Korean Odyssey is a modern, Korean adaption of a classical, Chinese story – Journey to the West – which was published during the 16th century and has been subject to many television and film adaptions. A Korean Odyssey (also known as Hwayugi) is a romantic, fantasy drama, starring Lee Seung Gi as Son Oh Gong, an immortal monkey spirit, and Oh Yeon So as Jin Seo Mi, a woman with second sight, who turns out to be no ordinary human but Sam Jong, who is destined to save the world.
