Know as 'Hwayugi' -- an Odyssey none the less

AKA: Hwayugi and considering how long this series is, and how many scenarios it covers that makes absolute sense it be called an odyssey. This is definitely a must watch for anyone who enjoys the fantasy genre πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ

This is yet another tale about relationships between human and supernatural beings. And it's the fabric and quality of these relationships that give all the substance for this feature. However the love story is both its strength and its weakness - long, drawn out and in the end melodramatic.
Our main supernatural character is well written, and superbly acted by Lee Seung Gi. Our main female is also well written but I found actress Oh Yeon Seo a disappointing choice (she seemed wooden at times in her portrayal & was not a convincing kisser) πŸ™„. Most other actors were fantastic. The soundtrack was good and the cinematography was great. All in all a great tale to watch and enjoy.
