Dramatic scenes featuring intense character interactions.

K-drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) posits that the Chinese classic tale characters of the Monkey King, Monk, and Bull Demon King are in modern Korea and still have to deal with … Continue reading →

The latest character reveals for tvN fantasy drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) continue to impress with the visuals and creativity.

I feel like there is going to be a lot of fierceness coming for tvN drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey), equal parts from both genders based on the first set of drama stills. There was fur coat bedecked Lee Seung Gi smirking as the Monkey King followed by circus barker metrosexual version of the Bull Demon King played by Cha … Continue reading →
