A Korean Odyssey (2017)

disclaimer: I have watched 10/20 episodes
No matter how lacking it is in some areas it is way better than goblin, in my opinion. And what I really love about it is that it made me laugh a lot, the writing is actually good, and the song are modern but beautiful. I’m someone who doesn’t usually like modern songs but I love the ost.

Beautiful! Has fabulous & talented cast all sights for sore eyes!

This was my first time seeing Lee Seung Gi act and I was smitten. Never have I ever seen someone rock that hairstyle in the same way. No one can do it better, while Park Sae Roy in Itaewon Class came close, he still ranks second. Normally, I do not like characters who dress like Son Oh Kong, not because of the clothes but because very few can pull it off, especially as well as he did. The character was just wow!

Cha Seung Won's Ma Wang was just as incredible to watch. He is another actor that I enjoy watching. The plot was simply perfect. Since I have just watched it for 2nd time and am more happy with it this time around, I can't find fault.

During my first watch, I was frustrated with the ending, but seeing how motivated Son Oh Gong in getting Jin Seon Mi back, I'm 100% sure he succeeded. Would I love to watch a second season with him following her to netherland and rescuing her in the process? Hell yes, but I don't mind that it wont' be coming since I have gotten my closure.

Drama fantasy davvero bello.

L'ho rimandato visto che sapevo un po' che non sarebbe stato un drama leggero ma ho fatto male perché è il tipico drama che adoro.
Fantasy che più fantasy non si può,demoni, esseri superiori, spiriti malvagi, dei ,zombie etc in un intreccio con il mondo umano.Poi ovviamente non può mancare l'amore quello impossibile ma grande e qui supera l'inimmaginabile.Ci sono anche le risate quelle di gusto, un poco di bromance alla "goblin" che fa molto ridere.
I protagonisti bravissimi,pure quelli in secondo piano hanno il loro spazio nella storia.Ci sono baci quelli veri che tolgono il fiato.
Già dal inizio fa presagire un finale non roseo e così é ma non l'ho visto come una mancanza ma una conclusione giusta per tutta la storia.
Sarà anche vecchiotto come drama ma è davvero bello e merita di essere visto.

One classic

Without a doubt, A Korean Odyssey is the best fantasy K-drama I've ever watched in my entire life. The story is totally captivating as are all the characters.

I died and laughed (and cried even more), it's definitely a light drama to pass the time. The kind of K-drama that you watch and don't even realize that fifteen episodes have already passed.

I admit to watching it whenever I can, and I made everyone in my family watch it too lol

I sincerely hope that A Korean Odyssey gets much more recognition in the future, because like it or not, not many people know a drama as good as this one.

at the beginning i thought i was going to be bored cause the length of the ep. was 90 min. and 20 eps.
i thought it's going to be as Reply1988 no events and very boring but i was very wrong
i enjoy every min in it although its long

i loved the idea of we r going to be what we believe in the most

this drama has a great idea and lesson
that we shouldn't fill our soul wz envy and negative thoughts
we shouldn't focus at others life or we r not going to be satisfied at ours
cause what we believe in is going to be real and affect us so much

but i really didn't get if the octopus was girl or a boy according to the translation
it was a boy and that disgusts me alot when he tried to seduce PK
i convinced myself it was a girl and the mistake was from the translation (LOL)

and what bothered me the huge contradictings many times about the events
like
they were Gods how they can't know the events before happening
and how they can't find each other or can't find a normal human being when they decided to hide
or recreate creatures and human beings like zombie girl and sam jang
THEY WERE GODS how can this be ???

the end as usual bothered me sooooooooooooooo much
why they should kill zombie girl and sam jang it wasn't necessary at all
as if they are allergic against happy clear endings
it sort of happy open end i dislike that kind

but in general i enjoyed much really specially the love between Lee Seung Gi & Oh Yeon Seo

Bem, apesar de haver um foco principal, ele tem seus subtramas o que gosto se for bem trabalhado, achei mediano, mas não desgostei de tudo, entre seus muitos personagens terá alguns que tem brilho próprio que por vezes roubam a cena. Seu maior destaque foi o bromance e as amizades estranhas super veladas que todos tinham.

Amo ver a mistura do original com o místico coreano, é uma boa adaptação apesar de cometer alguns erros, principalmente com as explicações e com as exceções de algumas regras, o que relevei na maior parte, já é uma fantasia.

No início gostei da Jin Seon Mi, era uma personagem forte e decidida, por vezes ingênua, porém sua mudança ao longo do enredo me fez ficar irritada, como pode se anular tanto por causa de um relacionamento? Agora tenho que parabenizar a entrega que Lee SeungGi teve, com certeza ele se encaixou muito bem no personagem, o macaco era um grande babaca, mas sincero, realmente amei isso, gosto de personagens que não são perfeitos, que são quem são desde o início, porém tentam dar o melhor de si quando amam, mas sem perder a essência, Son Oh Gong é isso, gosto quando os autores não ficam com medo de não gostarem do personagem por isso já que faz parte da característica e mais ainda do desenvolvimento da narrativa, o que me lembrou o que senti com o 4º príncipe Wang So,

Gostei do final com a sensação de continuidade, apesar de que torcia para algo diferente.

A Timeless Fantasy

A Korean Odyssey is an amazing show that truly earns a top rating of 10 out of 10. Lee Seung Gi delivers a standout performance as Son Oh Gong, and his acting is one of the highlights of the series. The rest of the cast is equally talented, bringing their characters to life in a way that's both convincing and captivating. This show is a perfect blend of fantasy and drama, creating an unforgettable experience for its viewers. The way it combines old myths, humor, and romantic stories is really unique and engaging.

One of the best parts of A Korean Odyssey is its beautiful music, which adds so much to the overall feel of the show. The soundtrack is so good that it stays with you long after you finish watching the series. It's the kind of show that you can watch over and over again and never get tired of. Even years after its release, the music and the story continue to remind us of the magic and charm of this incredible series. It's a timeless show that leaves a lasting impression.

A missed opportunity

Such a good premise. It could have been so much better. This was truly a missed opportunity that could have resulted in an epic show. I think part of the blame lies with the direction and the VFX. The male actors were good but the lead actress gave a very plastic performance. I was fed up of watching her and I have to admit I thought about other people who could have played the role a lot while watching her onscreen. In the end, I really wanted to know the story but watching the remaining 12 episodes seemed too onerous. So, I stopped wasting my time and read episode recaps of the show. I don't regret it. I watched snippets of the last 12 episodes(skipped through them) and the ending.

Overall, I have rated this 8/10 solely for the story and Son O Gong(the coolness factor is strong). Do watch it if the summary interests you. Every viewer is different and just because I couldn't complete the series doesn't mean others can't enjoy it. Maybe I'll watch the rest of it someday.

Just a lil rant about the main character :)

So far I'm on episode 7 and the drama is going pretty well BUT there is one character that is annoying and that is Seon Mi. Why? Because she keeps pushing and pulling him. Like honestly he's a fricking monster, his original goal was to eat her, but instead she put that bracelet on him, knowing what the consequences will be when it's put on him. And yet she's annoyed because he likes her uncontrollably? U know I don't support him eating her, but if I were in his shoes and had to be practically locked up again I would be pissed off ngl. Not only that, she literally spends so much time thinking about if he truly likes her or not, tbh partially of his feelings are all fake and she knows it. Oh and she always says something like "stop coming near me and leave" *he leaves* and she's sad... like WHAT? girl u just told him to shut up and leave. AND whenever she goes "fight" a monster, she always goes by herself, like girl what are u gonna do with a yellow kiddy umbrella and beads. Also I know like it's scary to encounter a ghost but for someone who has lived with them for her whole life, I'm surprised she's still scared of them, I mean I've seen plenty of ghosts before but I kinda got used to them. Not only that I feel like she always creates a bubble where everything that's happening is going smoothly, but when someone says a bold honest truth to her, it pops, and she would get sad and question about her whole feelings again.


ANYWAYS I'm only episode 7 and I REALLY want to drop this drama, although I really like these type of dramas and how the plot suites my preferences. I'm sorry if anyone got offended or didn't like what I said, honestly this is my opinion on how I feel about it. but yeah thanks for reading up to here. :)
