✨ Synopsis
In 2017, Son Oh Gong and Ma Wang are locked in a power struggle while searching for a true light in a world swallowed by darkness. Twenty-five years earlier, Son Oh Gong made a deal with Seon Mi—she could summon him when she needed help, in exchange for setting him free. When fate ties them together again, he becomes her reluctant guardian. Duty and affection collide, and chaos (and a little love) ensues. A clever modern twist on the classic Journey to the West—with demons, destiny, and just enough romance to ruin your sleep schedule.

From episode one, this show grabs you with its quirky charm and supernatural stakes. Son Oh Gong’s mischief, Ma Wang’s chaos, and the unexpected heart-tugging moments pull you in so fast you forget what’s real life. It’s like someone poured Journey to the West into a modern K-drama blender and then sprinkled a little chaos seasoning on top.
Fate, destiny, and demon politics collide, and the tension keeps you laughing and on edge at the same time. Jin Sun Mi navigates both chaos and affection with such patience it borders on heroic. Meanwhile, P.K., the pig demon, provides perfectly timed chaos that makes every episode unpredictable. The soundtrack deserves its own applause—NU’EST’s Let Me Out and Bumkey’s When I Saw You hit at the emotional peaks, making heartbreak and hilarity feel equally intense.
Every episode juggles heart, humor, and mythology seamlessly. The twists land, the emotional punches hit, and the pacing keeps you hooked without a single moment of filler. The ending wraps arcs beautifully while leaving room for your imagination. Son Oh Gong and Jin Sun Mi’s relationship blossoms naturally amidst the chaos, and Ma Wang’s antics, along with the demons and human drama, all converge satisfyingly.
π Final Mood:
Epic, witty, and weirdly romantic. A rare drama that makes you laugh, ache, and text your friends “I’m not okay” at 3 a.m.
