i rarely do a review...but, reading a few review in here, i think i need to do a positive review. i'll compare this to goblin (since both are supernatural) a Korean Odyssey (AKO) is 20 series long and i finish it in 5 working days, goblin is 16 series long and its been on hold for months. i like this more because the supernatural being in here is a lot more than goblin, and they act like they're not human...so its funny, and i think i like it more compare to supernatural being that act human. Timing (in my own opinion) also playing a huge part since Goblin was the first one coming with these genre (with extravagant setting and CGI and all), and AKO is almost a year later....so yeah, its getting colder.

story : About the story line...its well written, each character is well presented and yes...there's a boring moment (a few minute) but for a drama that contain 20 episode in it...its already really great. i want to keep watching it and finish it soon, its good enough for me if i have that kind of feeling. they can keep the pace steadily from the beginning, its more melodrama in the end but since the story is well connected, i dont feel bored. one thing i want to comment is when the monkey fight the dragon, its not good enough, from the CGI, how to conquer the dragon, and the story about the dragon itself. its a little bit on the 'meh' side.

acting : now this is hard...i don't like main actress, i think she isn't on par with Lee Seung Gi. the chemistry is there, but i feel it come from Seung Gi a lot more, since his acting is really good, really really good (if you think that's because Seung Gi is handsome, you know there's a lot more 'out of this world handsome' Korean actors out there). the monkey that's rude, never care about others, arrogant are presented really well from beginning until the end...i don't feel the same from the actress. she's pretty but her acting just look flat, pessimist, gloomy. when she say that she love him, i can't feel it in her eyes. and, she look older than Son Oh Gong, and the monkey is 1000++ years old, how come ? on the other hand, i really love zombie girl, man...she can act!! she's been given a lot of challenge in one drama, with a lot of different character, and she nailed it all. i like Ma Wang, but he can be a little overact sometime....but since it funny, i don't mind. the other character is well presented as well.

music : i like bumkey song and the others too. they always put the right song on the right scene. the song itself...keep on playing in my head.

rewatch : absolutely...for a few first episode when theres a lot more funny moment. im already begin to watch it.
