In his defense, Oh-gong says that she’d get eaten by some other demon anyway, because she’s Sam-jang. She says that him being nice to her was the first tipoff. Sun-mi downs a shot of soju and asks if Oh-gong really intended to eat her if the contract hadn’t prevented him, while he’s just fixated on where his acting went awry. Oh-gong’s roommate, Mawang, reports to heaven’s messenger that Oh-gong didn’t eat Sun-mi right away, so there must be a reason he couldn’t. He slams his hand against the wall so hard that he takes a piece of it with them as they fly clear out to the other side, and they float there glaring daggers at each other. Sun-mi dares him to go ahead and eat her if he can and stalks off, and Oh-gong blocks her path and leans in menacingly. Oh-gong’s eyes glow red at her words, showing his true intent. She realizes that he’s trying to break their original contract because it’s preventing him from eating her.
He really does have the worst poker face of all time. Sun-mi is moved by the gesture and reaches out to touch his palm, but then she notices the eager look on his face, which gives him away. He offers to break their old contract and sign a new one to become her protector, and puts out his hand. He decides that he can’t just leave her unprotected when demons will flock to her, and declares that he’ll honor his promise from 25 years ago. She’s surprised since he said he never once thought of her, but Oh-gong admits that he was just trying to act tough. Sun-mi thanks him for protecting her, and he says very casually that they have 25 years of unforgettable connection between them. He confirms that he originally came here to eat her, but says he was shocked when he saw her face: “How can I eat you when I know your face?” Ha, glad you have some standards. In the present, mischievous Monkey King Sohn Oh-gong wraps the cut on Sun-mi’s arm with a bandage, and tells her to keep it covered because demons are attracted to the scent of her blood-the blood of Sam-jang, the monk. Oh how sad, Grandma was a ghost? Sun-mi, who’s wearing a mourning pin in her hair, watches her fade away in tears. But Grandma assures her that someone with the fate to protect her will come, and tells Sun-mi to be strong and live well until then.Īs she says this, Grandma begins to fade and disappear. Grandma warns her not to bleed, and Sun-mi asks if she has to hide alone for the rest of her life. The ghost creepily stretches her arm all the way down to pull Sun-mi up, but thankfully Grandma arrives just in time to yank her down to safety. Left alone in tears, Sun-mi apologizes to the tree and ends up with a cut on her hand, and the scent of her blood spreads through the air.Ī schoolgirl ghost calls to Sun-mi from atop the tree and asks to play, saying that her blood smells nice.
In the past, little ghost-seeing girl Sun-mi runs up to the other kids at school and attempts to join a game, only to have them spit on the tree she touched in case she brought them bad juju.
A korean odyssey episode 4 full#
Episode 2 was re-edited and re-aired in full on Monday. It’s worrisome to see live-shoot mishaps so early into a show’s run (you couldn’t have just premiered a week later?), and I hope they can get it together and air tighter episodes from here on out. The worst was when commercials repeated instead of the last twenty minutes of the broadcast, and the episode just cut off without an ending.

The second episode had some major missteps in production though, and there was a series of broadcast accidents that occurred when it first aired, from stuntmen’s wires hanging all over the place to CG green screens showing. It really helps that Seung-gi is so perfectly cast as this infuriating but endearing hero, who shows just enough warmth under his devilish façade to make me love him. In practice it’s more like they took the blueprint of Journey to the West and mixed it with vampire lore and a contract relationship, but it comes together in a surprisingly natural way. I’m already loving this setup, which has a funny should-I-love-you-or-eat-you relationship between human and monster at the center, like My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho did.
