My Oct 2024 Recommendation Challenge

Long time this in my PTW, thanx to Red Riding Hood and Recommendation Challenge, I've finally watched this... Now let's talk drama...

For those of you who are quite familiar with the story of the monkey king & the journey to the West who searched for the scripture. Yeah this taken that as inspiration but twisted with their version. The scripture is changed into saving the world. And they added the love story between the priest & monkey king.

Story about Jin Sun Mi (SM), a little girl who can see ghosts. One day she met Ma Wang (MW), MW asked SM to pick something for him, a fan. While SM went to pick the fan, SM accidentally set Son Oh Kong (SOK) free, with the exchange SOK will protect SM from anything whenever SM calls SOK name. But SOK just cheated & made SM never remember his name, so SM never can call him. And with all of that, their fate locked with each other.

Fast forward many years, SM is now a grown woman. And one day, SOK decides to show his face again in front of SM. And with that decision, the wheel of fate starts to roll again. Later we found out SM turns out as Sam Jang, a special human, who has fate as a human sacrifice to hold the burden to save mankind from their doom. How..? That's the problem that will be answered at the end of this drama.

Now who is SOK & MW…? SOK & MW are people from heaven that's being punished because of their crime. SOK is monkey 'deity’ & MW is bull devil. Both of them need to collect the point by banishing evil spirits, to be able to go back to heaven.

Later we find out, SOK is chosen to protect SM as Sam Jang as part of his punishment. But because SOK is so naughty and rebellious, heaven put handcuffs on him, and as the results, make SOK fall in love with SM. So throughout the drama, we will witness how SM & SOK love is tested over and over to prove is it real love or just because of the handcuffs…?

That's pretty much about the story without giving too much spoiler. Now let's talk about what I like & don't like.

What I like:
+ The relationship between SM & SOK. Even though sometimes so pain to see them tested their love over and over. But I really like the growth in their relationship.
+ The story of MW. Even though a little ashamed they are not too clear about it.
+ The zombie… Or rather the amazing Lee Se Young. This young actress played the character amazingly. Both as the zombie or later as Ah Sa Nyeo
+ The prove of how ur mouth can be sharper than any blade. I mean when PK hurting Ah Sa Nyeo over & over again with his word. The changing Ah Sa Nyeo suddenly decided to be back as bad woman because of it…

What I don’t like:
- More than 60 min each ep. Some ep I find quite boring. Especially the more towards the ending, many thing I don't give too much the sh*t and increase the speed I'm watching this drama. Haha…

Overall until the end, I still find it quite interesting.

Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

One thing that annoyed me the most….
The unnecessary sacrifice of Sam Jang. Ugh!!! I really don't understand why all the deities decided to go through with it even though they could stop it. Oh yeah in my opinion, they almost stopped it when they confronted Ah Sa Nyeo. But in the end they still let Ah Sa Nyeo go through with the plan…
