Hwayugi or A Korean Odyssey is a show which started with so much promise but ended up being a bit of a disappointment. [Spoilers ahead]

My biggest gripes with the plot are (and these are only from the top of my head):

1. What was the relevance of samjang's death? She literally didn't do anything...

2. What about the all the premonitions that had been embedded in the plot such as the monkey will change fate or a human would save the world, nothing of the sort happened (if it had it would be so cool)

3. There needed to be more backstory on the characters especially secretary ma and devil king woo, furthermore the character of asanyeo was so paper-thin that she seemed to have no motivation for all the evil she was doing (except wanting the love of a man who was clearly unavailable and also completely uninterested)

4. Why did they do that to buja??? There's was not even closure neither to her mother's death nor to her relationship with PK

5. Same goes for Alice/Jade dragon, so much potential wasted

6. Why did Jin Seo-mi become more and more helpless as the show went on, she started out as a badass girl boss dealing with life's problems on her when Son O Gong's arrival suddenly turned her into a damsel in distress

7. I was not interested in the queen mother storyline at all as there was no backstory to be invested in

8. The villain was literally a caricature with nothing to make him stand apart

9. What reward did either samjang or the great save equal to heaven get for saving the world (conclusion: the spiritual realm folks are assholes)

Rant over... But I did enjoy the drama for the most part, especially Son O Gong who was a delight to watch and his bromances with the devil king woo and President Sa, I also loved the way he ended every sentence to Jin Seo-mi with because I love you in the early days, this all kept me interested so that I could watch the show till the end... But I must say the writers turned what could have been an epic show into a huge let down... Especially the last two episodes

My favorite thing about the Uncanny Counter (esp. season 2) is that So Mun is NOT a reckless lone wolf "I gotta save the world, it's all on me" type of protagonist. He's soft and sweet and emotional and humorous and caring! He has a family and he knows it! He wants to protect others but he wouldn't go behind others or use an underhanded way to do it. Instead, he will passionately charge through with all the emotions he's already feeling. Some other Kdramas can take some fucking note, you know.

I just love the dynamic between these two... In fact between all the captains except of course excellent era....

You know that romance trope where one of the two is a lovable idiot and the other is the stern genius who loves the lovable idiot?
