I usually watch pretty everything without expecting too much, but I waited for this one for two reasons; 1: Oh Yeon Seo , 2: Hong Sisters. Oh Yeon Seo was in my radar after her acting in Please Come Back Mister. Hong Sisters have been always in my radar because I like their indescribable touch in their stories.

A Korean Odyssey had a very promising and exciting storyline, but there certainly were flaws...For instance; I can understand, that for many people the last episodes were the flaws itself. But I actually think it was pretty well wrapped up. It could be different, or may not be for everyone's cup of tea but still, to me it was just ok.

Honestly, it was the caracters and the acting that made me wait for 20 episodes. I totally fell in love with the double sided caracters, and their acting.... Their dialogues, their humour, their expressions, their actions, supports and betrayals always had the touch of the representative animal. As for Jin Sun Mi...I could always see, that no matter how grown up she is, she was simply an alone, scared teenager, surrounded by the monsters, who can not dare to trust anyone but deeply wishes to do so... To me the best acting is the one, that you do not notice and the actors literally wore their caracter.

The music was just good. I would not call it epic but it definietly was fitting, especially the ending song Let Me Out, with some lyrics giving a hint of the story but with some sound that does not depress you,

The humour....Well humour is something that varies, but to me it was epic ..The small references to real life, quotes or songs, a very cute zombie.. I litearally enjoyed them. Somehow I always had an absurd humour-vibe like I had in Gintama....

Overall I would call A Korean Odyssey a good told fairy tale. The caracters, the acting, the dialogues, the storyline , the music and even the love-story , they all complement and fit with each other perfectly.
