I’m so glad I finished this after putting it on hold for years! This has to be one of the most creative Hong sisters drama in years. I want to pick up cdramas for some time now because they always have dramas about deities, monsters, and immortal love, while you find this rare in kdramas where it’s usually supernatural- lite.
There’s even a scene where it looks like it came from a xianxia (cdrama) and I wanted to watch that show! I’ve heard of the tale of Chinese odyssey for a long time, and I’m amazed by how the Hong sisters made that story into a modern Korean twist complete with a memorable love story.
They made me like and appreciate each of the characters. I’m first also iffy about the love potion aspect of the geumganggo, but in the end it was executed in a satisfying manner. What is not satisfying is that ending , but oh well kdrama writers do not want us to have nice things. I’m not as mad as others, maybe because I’m already spoiled by it, I hated how they executed the death, but I’m ok with the ending overall.

I wished Lee Seung Gi and Oh Yeon Seo have more of a sizzling chemistry, but they portrayed their characters well, esp. LSG he embodied Son Oh Gong’s cranky, playful monkey really well, a twist on the bad boy falling for the good girl trope.
LSG and Cha Seung Won as Ma Wang have great chemistry though, no wonder this is their 2nd drama. Their love hate bromance and cohabitation hijinks were so comical and cannot be missed. Lee Se Yeong playing as dual character really shone here.
The drama does go on a bit too long, but I don’t mind hanging out with this special ragtag group of monsters. It was so much fun. When you leave the drama missing all the characters from adorable Oh Jeong to capricious Pal Gye, you know the drama has done its job well.(Korean: 화유기 ; RR: Hwayugi) is a South Korean fantasy television series starring Lee Seung-gi, Cha Seung-won, Oh Yeon-seo, Lee Hong-gi, and Jang Gwang.
