Hwayugi, aka A Korean Odyssey, is a modern fantasy (romance + horror + mythical + badass) adaptation of Journey to the West, a Chinese Ming Dynasty novel about a monk and his three special protectors who travel to the West in search of sacred Buddhist texts. In this modern retelling, the “monk” Jin Sun-mi is your not-so-average real estate CEO who can see spirits and was born with the fate to exorcise demons. She crosses paths with the mischievous Monkey King Son Oh Gong and his frenemies the Bull Demon King Mawang and top idol star/pig god PK. Hijinks ensue! My sister Kim and I fall right into this fantasy to chat about the kdrama love-as-a-contract trope, Lee Seung-Gi’s monkey-esque haircut and more.
