HWAYUGI (A KOREAN ODYSSEY 2017) - COMPLETED

2017

[HanCinema's Drama Preview] "A Korean Odyssey"

OMGG, have you guys watched this new ongoing drama? Serious hilarious gila part Lee Seung Gi. Seung Gi bawak watak as Son Oh Gong. To be honest, this drama kinda macam Goblin. Character Seung Gi and Cha Seung Won, Oh Yeon Seo pun. Dalam drama ni, Seungi lebih kurang Gong Yoo (Goblin). Cha Seung Won macam Lee Dong Wook (Grim Reaper) tapi takde lah 80% sama watak dorang ni. Just that, bila kau tengok one character ni, it will remind you to this other character. Pahe dop?

Lagi satu, few things aku tak faham, why dalam drama ni dorang banya petik nama nama korean celebrities yang famous, e.g Yoo Jae Sook (Grasshopper).

Kenapa aku cakap watak Cha Seung Won remind me of grim reaper dalam Goblin? Sebab dia ada past history dengan a girl waktu dia kat heaven (menurut drama ni la). So dia simpan painting portrait of that girl kat satu bilik rahsia dia.

And then scene Seung Gi bagi plushy kat Oh Yeon Seo, kinda macam one of the scene dalam Goblin. The fact that Oh Yeon Seo can see spirits and an orphan pun resemble Eun Tak (Goblin).

But so far, Lee Seung Gi is cute as always and funny :D

Okay, makin lama makin cheesy and episode 19 sedih jugak la. But ending was....... WHAT THE HELL.
