Hwayugi: Episode 15
by javabeans
Today it’s one sort of love pitted against another sort of love, which makes for a pretty strong clash since motivations go deep and emotions run high. In fact, love is the driving force in more than one side storyline as well, giving us all sorts of conflicted characters and colliding goals, some of them pure at heart and others more twisted. ‘Cause when a monster falls in love, you can be sure there’s lots of twisted involved.
EPISODE 15 RECAP
Sun-mi hears the truth of the death bell from the manipulative priestess, who has lured her into a connected dreamspace containing her stone coffin. She convinces Sun-mi to sacrifice herself so as not to be the cause of Oh-gong’s death, and with a tear running down her face, Sun-mi lies down to eternal sleep.
A short while later, it’s the priestess who awakens in Sun-mi’s body and in her bed. Priestess smiles to see her plan was successful, and pretends to be Sun-mi when she finds Oh-gong waiting outside. He acts as though all is normal and treats her like she’s Sun-mi… but does he know?
Priestess/Sun-mi explains that she had a good dream about getting something she really wanted, then hugs Oh-gong. From his measured reaction I’m thinking he suspects this is Priestess. You know, right? Right??
Oh-gong smiles to her face, but his voice is grim as he tells her to keep dreaming her good dream.
The rest of the team discuss the situation chez Mawang: They know the priestess is now in Sun-mi’s body, but not exactly what happened to Sun-mi’s soul. PK wonders if she died, but Mawang can feel that she’s still alive, based on the droplet of her blood in his system. For the time being, however, they can’t do anything to the priestess and risk harming Sun-mi’s body.
That’s why Oh-gong told them that he’d keep up the act (aha!) with her, to prevent her from running away with the host body. The team worries that Oh-gong won’t be able to pull off the deception, and PK adds that the priestess had access to Buja’s memories when she was in her body. So she’ll also have Sun-mi’s memories.
Secretary Ma points out that the priestess was very keen on marrying Oh-gong. That means she’ll be pulling out all the stops to “go all the way” with him tonight. “You absolutely cannot cave, Sohn Oh-gong,” Mawang says.
That night, as predicted, Priestess makes the first advance, though Oh-gong quickly takes the lead. He looms over her as though to kiss her, but each time she reaches up to him, he moves her hand away. She asks if she’s still the most beautiful person in his eyes, and he replies, “So that has been bothering you.”
Oh-gong moves away and sits up, looking upset. He calls himself the bad guy for knowing of her fears that he won’t love her without the bracelet, yet wanting to hold her anyway. Priestess says it’s okay, but he says he’ll stop because he loves her, acting like it’s a wrench for him (which makes me chuckle because it’s a great defense).
But Priestess readily agrees, saying they have time, and that they’ll marry soon. Oh-gong forces himself to agree and Priestess embraces him tightly, until finally Oh-gong can’t take it and pulls her hands away.
He suggests going out and quickly leaves the room, thinking about Sun-mi’s words when he’d given her the wedding ring: that if he ever felt scared or upset, she’d come running when he said her name.
“I’m extremely scared, struggling, and in danger right now, Jin Sun-mi,” Oh-gong says aloud. “Where are you?”
In her stone coffin, as Sun-mi sleeps, the ring on her hand gleams brightly.
Oh-gong and Priestess keep up the act that she’s Sun-mi in front of the gang at Mawang’s, who start planning for the wedding. It’s almost funny how uncomfortable everyone looks when Priestess makes coupley gestures, like holding Oh-gong’s hand and showing off her wedding ring. Oh-gong’s doting façade cracks a few times, and when the ladies step away, Mawang warns that he’s not doing a great job hiding his feelings. Heh, you know it’s bad when even the blind man can see it.
PK is amazed at how well the Priestess has managed this transformation, and Mawang supposes that she was able to take over Sun-mi’s energy so completely that she felt confident that she’d fool everyone.
But Oh-gong firmly disagrees. “No, I don’t feel she’s Sam-jang at all.”
Secretary Ma leads Priestess to the closet to see her bridal gown, then steps aside to let her try it on. But rather than the dress, Priestess reaches instead for the box containing the incense burner—or rather, its fake—and is pleased that it’s still there.
Secretary Ma reports to PK that the priestess is looking at the burner, glad that they’d made up a second fake (after Frosty’s initial fake was discovered). PK guesses that the real burner is in Frosty’s hands, and shakes his head at his betrayal.
Frosty is with the real burner and Buja’s sleeping body, and notes that the red fumes have now turned blue. That’s the sign that Priestess has fully entered Sun-mi’s body, and she’d given Frosty the instruction to shatter the burner at this point, ensuring that Sun-mi would be locked in her dream.
Frosty reaches out a hand and starts to freeze the burner…
Oh-gong knows that Sun-mi has not yet been sealed away in her prison, thanks to Mawang’s connection to her, but also knows they’ve got to find that burner quickly. They’ve got to locate Frosty asap.
Priestess’s actual coffin is in the hands of prof/politician/murderer Kang Dae-sung, who has yet to figure out what Priestess (in Buja’s body) meant by visiting his classroom or issuing the warning that she’d come find him.
He has an inkling that it has to do with the thing that came out of the coffin, but far from being afraid, he actually seems excited and tells his assistant that he’s looking forward to it: “It feels like something incredible is going to appear in front of me.” Oh, be careful what you wish for…
While Priestess looks at her bridal gown, Oh-gong vows to rip Priestess to shreds as soon as Sun-mi returns to her body, and Mawang chuckles at his bloodthirstiness.
Priestess rejoins them, and CEO Sa offers to give her a ride home, having arranged this with Oh-gong beforehand. But Priestess declines the offer, stating her intention of staying here to “help.” Oh-gong fumes silently, but can’t argue.
Mawang guesses that Priestess seems intent on seducing Oh-gong tonight, and asks what he means to do about it. Oh-gong declares that he’ll sleep with Mawang instead, and instructs Mawang to say he needs to sleep holding Oh-gong tight because of his cold affliction.
Mawang balks, but Oh-gong pleads, “You can’t even see! Just pretend I’m Iron Fan.” LOL.
CEO Sa goes over wedding plans with Priestess, though it’s more to stall for time than actually plan anything, which annoys her. Finally she tells him to handle everything and leaves, and CEO Sa sadly apologizes to his hyungnim for not being able to do more.
When Priestess arrives at Oh-gong’s bedroom, the boys enact their plan to keep him away from her: Oh-gong wears sheet masks and pretends to have fallen asleep during his beauty routine, and Mawang insists that Sun-mi help him back to his room.
Once there, Mawang invites Priestess to sit and talk wedding plans. She asks for a wedding gift to rival his—the magical fan. He says it’s currently with Patriarch and will be returned once he achieves immortality, and she asks pointedly, “It’s yours, but you have just waited obediently for it to be returned to you?”
That stings, but he grits out that he’d waited in order to reduce the suffering of his beloved. Priestess prods more, saying that the heavens have tamed him quite easily—he’s become obedient and weak.
Mawang forces a laugh, but his temper flares and he asks who she is to dare talk like this to him. At that, Oh-gong intervenes and tells Priestess to leave.
Mawang tells Oh-gong that she will have caught on and urges him to catch her before she runs away.
Oh-gong catches up to her on the staircase, and when Priestess turns and starts walking back to him, he instinctively reacts, fliiiiiinging her through the air away from him.
A split-second later he realizes what he’s done and zooms ahead to catch Priestess before she slams into the ground.
So now the jig is up. Priestess knows he’s been acting, and Oh-gong says he should have kept it up longer, if only he didn’t hate her so much. He demands to know where Sun-mi is, and Priestess declares that she’s now Sam-jang. Sun-mi is buried in her coffin: “That woman has died.”
Oh-gong grabs Priestess by the throat and shoves her against a wall. As he grapples with his fury, Mawang shouts out that Sun-mi is still alive, feeling it in his own body.
With great effort, Oh-gong lets her go. Priestess grabs a wineglass nearby, breaks it, and holds the broken stem to her own face. She warns that if Oh-gong does anything like this again, she’ll feed Sun-mi to demons.
Oh-gong recognizes the danger and raises his hands in surrender, telling Priestess that he was wrong and asking her not to harm Sun-mi. Priestess says that they will marry as planned, and if he does well, she might wake up Sun-mi… maybe in 500 years. Will he still love her then?
He doesn’t flinch away from her touch this time, but he says that while he’s not sure how long it’ll go, the second it’s over, Priestess is dead. She just says she’ll have to make it a thousand years, then, and flounces off.
Mawang assures him that he did well and that they just need to find Frosty. Oh-gong asks if this is how Mawang felt for the past thousand years, and Mawang says, “Yes. There’s nothing I can do for her, feeling the torment of not knowing where or how she is—that was what my thousand years has been.”
Oh-gong says he can’t bear it for even a day, and vows to find Frosty. Mawang sighs to himself that Monkey has finally felt this agony and made heaven’s punishment successful.
Frosty, meanwhile, expresses pity for the sleeping Buja as he waits for the fumes to finish burning.
Until Frosty is found, Oh-gong intends to go along with Priestess’s wedding demands. CEO Sa shows him the wedding chamber he has prepared, which they’ll keep intact for now.
Oh-gong heads off to “harass” Priestess, since he doesn’t like seeing her so happy. She shops up a storm and airily tells the clerks to discard the clothing she arrived wearing. When they go to ring her up, however, Priestess tells them she’ll just be leaving, and works her magic to get them to agree.
But around the corner, someone snaps his fingers, breaking her enchantment on the clerks. They insist that she pay for her purchases, and when she mutters that she has no money, they take back her bags. Even more humiliatingly, they demand the new clothes she’s wearing—leaving her to fish her old clothing out of the trash.
Oh-gong is there to see her leaving in her trash-stained clothes, and he clucks at the sad sight, saying that Sun-mi had been beautiful no matter what. She snaps at him for staring, but he says he’s just looking because she’s beautiful, and for a moment Priestess looks rattled. Then he laughs that he’s lying, chiding her for believing him.
She blusters that she didn’t fall for it, but he says of course she did, since she likes him and wants to have him. “Shall I give myself to you?” he asks in a serious tone, making her heart skip another beat.
And then he laughs again that she fell for it again, saying he’s just feeling her out, since they’re going to be married. He notes that a pair of bad people can be happy together, and asks if she wants him to stop.
She tells him to continue, asking what she can do to see if he’ll like her. He suggests going to work at her office, and when she asks why she’d go there, he replies, “You’ll go, because I’m going there.” Well, that’s annoyingly accurate.
At the office, Oh-gong explains how Sun-mi went to work every day even while fighting demons, and asks if Priestess can do the same. She tells him that she has all of Sun-mi’s memories and offers to live exactly like her. To prove that she can do it, she adopts Sun-mi’s attitude and tone and recites things Sun-mi used to say.
Oh-gong laughs at first, but then Priestess recites Sun-mi’s confession of liking him, which unnerves him. He says he might find his heart fooled by such a convincing act, and she says she’ll be able to convince him into living a happy life with her.
Oh-gong tasks her with continuing to impersonate Sun-mi, offering to let her fool him. With that, he disappears.
Han-joo arrives for work and recoils at Sun-mi’s stained clothing, and warns that they’re in for a busy day. Priestess says she can handle it, and settles in to pore over paperwork. But she annoys Han-joo by making mistakes, and is annoyed in turn by his annoyance at her sudden incompetence.
Priestess is exhausted by the end of the day, and that’s before she gets unexpected visitors—her relatives. Ha, Oh-gong called her uncle and cousin (and his screaming baby), who use her wedding as a reason to demand more money. Oh-gong also informs Jonathan of their wedding, prompting another surprise visitor. To cap off an irritating day, Han-joo shows up at Sun-mi’s apartment with his two kids in tow—his heater went out and Oh-gong helpfully offered Sun-mi’s place for the night.
At Mawang’s, the team strategizes, having been unable to locate Frosty. Mawang theorizes that Summer Fairy wasn’t involved in the deception, and that Frosty acted alone. And if so, they may be able to call Fairy to help. Likely Frosty is tired by now, having stayed awake to remain in control.
Still watching over the burner, Frosty struggles to stay awake. Summer Fairy urges him to stop, but he tells her to stay asleep.
Oh-gong and PK go to Summer Fairy’s bar, and Oh-gong slams a wine bottle through the air to call Fairy forth. The air ripples with each strike, and both Frosty and Fairy feel the summons. She insists on answering the call while he insists that she ignore it, until a light floods Frosty’s body and Fairy finally exits.
She appears in her own form in front of her brother, and he urges her back inside his body, because she can’t survive outside it for long. She tearfully refuses, then vanishes… and reappears in her bar before Oh-gong and PK.
PK reports back to Mawang, who supposes that now that Frosty has been located, Oh-gong will kill him.
Oh-gong arrives just as Frosty is about to go off in search of Priestess to return his sister’s soul to his body. Oh-gong demands the incense burner, which Frosty refuses to hand over, and the air blurs with Oh-gong’s fury.
Frosty states that Sun-mi can kill Oh-gong, and therefore getting rid of her means he has not betrayed Oh-gong. Oh-gong says Sun-mi is his bride and starts to advance, but Frosty warns him away, stating that he will protect his sister’s soul.
The room starts to freeze as Frosty summons his powers. Oh-gong slams him back with a blow to the midsection, and says, “I did not want to kill you.”
Frosty marshals his powers for another round, but suddenly his sister appears to beg him to stop. As the frost recedes, he warns her not to use her powers and endanger her soul.
But she embraces him, ignoring his pleas to return to his body, and says she should have disappeared long ago. “Thanks to you, I have lived happily till now. Now I will go,” she says.
As Summer Fairy starts to shine with light, she asks Oh-gong for his forgiveness, and that her death be the price of his punishment. She smiles at her brother as she disappears into a ball of light, which floats up toward the sky. Frosty falls to his knees in grief.
When Mawang returns to his office, his eyesight has returned, which he calls Fairy’s last gift.
Frosty now explains to Oh-gong how he came to harbor his sister’s soul with Priestess’s help, and how the death of his sister means his contract with the Priestess is now at an end. The burner has not finished burning, meaning that Sun-mi is still alive. Frosty urges Oh-gong to kill him and save Sun-mi.
“Summer Fairy paid the price of betrayal,” Oh-gong replies. “Stop crying now. It’s snowing and making it cold. I don’t like the cold.”
At Sun-mi’s apartment, Priestess tamps down her annoyance while Han-joo and his kids sit nearby. He promises to leave as soon as the heat is fixed in his place, while she says through gritted teeth that she can do this.
Han-joo watches a video interview of Kang Dae-sung, which catches Priestess’s attention. All she says is that Dae-sung isn’t as wonderful a person as everyone says he is. You’re not kidding.
Kang Dae-sung hears of the lore behind the priestess’s incense burner, which describes her as someone who would make a man a king. He recognizes the dragon design from that stone coffin, and deduces that the coffin could belong to the priestess.
CEO Sa drops by to see Priestess, explaining that Oh-gong sent him. Han-joo wonders if this is Oh-gong’s father, then belatedly recognizes him as that conglomerate CEO—and jumps to the conclusion that Oh-gong is a chaebol’s son. HA. Although I suppose immortal monkey king is hardly more believable.
CEO Sa delivers a package and the message that Oh-gong has called for Priestess to be brought to his home. Priestess smiles to see that he’s sent the outfit she’d tried to wear out of that department store before he’d ruined her shopping spree.
She wears those clothes to meet Oh-gong at his home, and their conversation whips back and forth in snappish interplay: She expresses pleasure at his romantic gestures, then irritation when he says it wasn’t meant for her. But when she tells him to get rid of wedding preparations meant for someone else, he says that Priestess could still make use of them, if they are to marry.
She refuses his offer of wine, recalling his trick with Mawang, and tells him not to light scented candles—she won’t fall for anything.
“But I didn’t call you here so we could do nothing,” Oh-gong says. Rawr?
Oh-gong asks why she’s trying so hard to turn into Sun-mi. “I’m going to call the dragon in this world too,” she says. “And I will make a king. If you stay by my side and protect me, I can do everything.”
Frosty explains to Mawang how the priestess’s incense burner works: It connects the priestess and Sun-mi by their dreams, which is where Sun-mi sleeps currently. If the priestess is brought back into the dream, they can extract Sun-mi. First they must get the priestess to fall asleep, but it’ll be tricky because she’s wary of doing that around Oh-gong.
Priestess promises to become exactly like the Sun-mi that Oh-gong fell in love with, if he only stays with her. He asks what she’ll do for him in turn, and she offers, “I will cut the fate of death’s bell.” Ooh, plot twist!
But now Oh-gong realizes why Sun-mi never called him, and Priestess informs him that she corrected Sun-mi’s misconception about their fates.
“If that woman returns, you could die,” Priestess says. “Will you still wait for her?”
“No,” he says. “I won’t wait.” Oh-gong removes the wedding band from Priestess’s finger, and then whirls her to the bed. Landing on top of her, he kisses her intently for a long, heated moment.
When he moves back, Priestess looks smug… until she tries to get up and finds that she can’t. He informs her that there’s more than one way to sneak drugs into a person, wiping his lips. Sneaky monkey!
He explains putting a dream-inducing drug into his water. “Sweet dreams,” he tells her. “And also, you won’t be waking up in that body again.”
Priestess’s struggles grow weak, and her eyes fall closed.
Oh-gong joins Mawang and Frosty to watch over the burner, which now emits both blue and red fumes—Sun-mi and Priestess are both dreaming now. Oh-gong wants to join them in that dreamspace, but Mawang points out that there’s nothing connecting him to them.
Oh-gong contradicts him, holding out Sun-mi’s ring, which Dream Sun-mi also wears in her coffin. Oh-gong puts the ring into the burner.
The ring glows on Sun-mi’s finger, and Oh-gong’s voice sounds in her ear: “Jin Sun-mi, where are you?” Slowly, her eyes open.
Outside the coffin, Priestess (back in Buja’s body) looks around and realizes she’s returned to her dreamspace prison.
As Frosty begins to freeze the burner, the air in the dreamspace begins to ripple. Priestess realizes that the burner has stopped burning. Is she trapped here?
Then Priestess slides open the coffin lid, and realizes with horror that Sun-mi is gone. “It’s disconnected,” she realizes.
Suddenly, Mawang is there in the dreamspace. “I have come to your dream,” Mawang tells her. “Sohn Oh-gong will have gone to Sam-jang’s.”
Sun-mi is in that same room, yet alone. Aha, so their dream connection severed, but both ladies are still in their dreams—just separately now.
Oh-gong calls out her name, and appears in her room.
Priestess looks scared as Mawang tells her that she’ll have to return to her coffin. But she blurts that he’s being deceived about something, and asks, “Did Iron Fan’s child truly die?”
Sun-mi is stunned to see Oh-gong here and orders him to leave. When she says his name, he clutches his heart in pain and his bracelet flashes black.
“You will be hurt because of me, and die,” she says. Oh-gong continues toward her anyway, even as she tells them of their deathly fate and refuses to leave this dream.
“Fine,” he tells her. “Then try killing me here.” She cries out his name, and sends a fresh wave of pain through him. She begs him not to come closer, saying she doesn’t want to hurt him.
“When I’m afraid,” he says, “or in pain or in danger and call your name, you said you’d come to protect me.”
Sun-mi sees the ring on her finger and remembers making that promise. Oh-gong holds out his hand and calls her name, three times.
Hesitantly, Sun-mi makes her way toward him and takes his hand. He yanks her toward him in a tight embrace, holding her in relief.
In the real world, Sun-mi wakes up with Oh-gong next to her. He’s happy but also exhausted, and tells her, “I only just managed to find my bride, but I’m so sleepy.” His eyes fall closed, and as he sleeps, Sun-mi reaches up to touch his face.
“I’m sorry,” she tells him.
Mawang brings the priestess’s incense burner to Patriarch, who is pleased at Mawang’s work. But there’s an undertone of suspicion in Mawang’s voice today, and he says the priestess got away from him, since his powers are so weak now. I guess the priestess’s words struck a chord.
PK waits next to Buja’s sleeping body, saddened at the thought that she won’t ever awaken. Dragon Prince informs him that Mawang will be burning her body soon—just as Buja opens her eyes.
PK rushes to her side, and Buja asks him, “Please save me.”
Moments later, PK rushes out with Dragon Prince, hurrying past Secretary Ma. She finds it odd that PK would leave before seeing Buja off, then is hit with a suspicion and hurries inside to see Buja.
Aha, it’s Dragon Prince in Buja’s place, having swapped clothes to enable Buja to escape.
PK drives off with Buja, but before they arrive at their destination, she gets out of the car and says she’s changed her mind about seeing her mother. PK realizes belatedly that he’s been fooled again—it’s really Priestess, not Buja.
“So? Will you take me away to be burned?” she asked. PK can’t do that, so he tells her to hide well and not get caught.
“You really love and cherish her,” Priestess notes. PK just tells her to go, and drives away alone.
Priestess looks strangely sad as she tells herself she’s glad he was so easily used. Now, she’s off to see “him,” she decides.
Kang Dae-sung senses something strange in his home that night, and finds Priestess waiting for him. “You’ve kept it well,” she says. “As promised, I’ve come to get it.” Looking thrilled, he says he’s been waiting for her.
Secretary Ma apologizes to Mawang for letting the priestess get away, but he says that he was the one to let her go. He explains that she provided him with an important realization, and we return to their conversation back in the dreamspace.
Priestess had asked, “A child born to an immortal and a monster, a child that ate dozens of human children’s souls—did it really die?”
Priestess recounts Mawang’s story: His wife committed a sin when her child died, and Mawang spent a thousand years quietly working to relieve her of her punishment. She tells him to think of his situation backwards, and if that makes sense, to let her go.
The backwards realization? “In order to tame me into obedience, she committed a sin, and for that sin, she killed the child. Why had I never considered that?”
Secretary Ma urges him not to trust Priestess’s words, but Mawang declares that if he was deceived, then everyone is his enemy. Ack, I don’t like the sound of that.
Sun-mi continues watching over Oh-gong as he sleeps next to her, holding his hand.
She tells him, “The human Jin Sun-mi loves the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, Sohn Oh-gong. Now, let’s end this love.”
And then, she reaches down for his bracelet, readying to remove it.
COMMENTS
Okay, I half expect Oh-gong to wake up at the last second and prevent Sun-mi from doing anything with the bracelet, but at this stage of the story I’d rather he didn’t, because I’m more interested in seeing what happens when this artificial motivator is removed from the equation. Even Oh-gong himself has noted that the love feels so real that the bracelet might not change it, so I see the next challenge as overcoming Sun-mi’s doubts. Since she’s been wracked with them the entire series long, I’m eager to see her move past them so that we can get to whatever’s next for them.
And then, of course, there’s the tiny part of me that supposes that the writers may throw us a wrench by countering this expectation that True Love Conquers All, and may in fact reset the game (at least somewhat) by having the bracelet’s removal actually remove (or negatively affect) Oh-gong’s feelings. I’ve always loved his twist on the original story by making love the vehicle of pain enacted by the magical circlet, rather than merely tightening on Monkey’s head to bring him physical pain. But the love-bracelet is less clear-cut a punishment than the original circlet o’ headaches, because it’s become hard to distinguish when it’s working and when it isn’t. In any case, I’m eager to understand exactly how the bracelet affects love—or doesn’t—and am hoping that the explanation is satisfactory (and a little nervous in case it isn’t).
I did appreciate that this Priestess story arc has incorporated a lot of different forms of love, expressed by all sorts of different personalities. Most obviously is our lead couple’s, of course, with Sun-mi sacrificing her life to spare Oh-gong, and Oh-gong doing everything he can to save her right back. But it was a nice touch to motivate Frosty with his love of his sister, whom he’d saved once and was determined to save again, no matter that they were both living half-existences this way and that Summer Fairy was ready to let go and move on. Plus, this kind of inner-team conflict played out a lot more compellingly than if we’d just had a random third party or antagonistic character driving the wagon; one Priestess is enough!
And then there’s this new twist in the Mawang story, which certainly shakes things up if it proves true. We haven’t been given enough details to know the full story, but it sounds like Mawang may have been manipulated into his thousand years of good deeds, and while it was one thing for him to think he was choosing this life out of sacrificial love, tricking a powerful monster into being heaven’s bitch is the kind of thing that could turn sour really quickly. I just wonder if Iron Fan was in on it, or whether she was coerced by heaven—although in either case, I can’t see Mawang reacting well to any version of the truth. Hold on to your hats, things might be taking a rocky turn.

Who's the actress that plays Summer Fairy? Kinda wish they would had shown her in her true form more possibly in a flashback. It felt like they introduced a new character on the screen but then killed her off.

She looks like the girl who played Chi-won's first wife in Jugglers? (Unless I saw wrongly) I'm pretty sure she also appeared for a few minutes in a recent episode of Waikiki (E3?) so she's probably a new actress getting her face shown in shows.

And, she is really beautiful!

SOG's desperation in the episode got to me. :( Poor monkey loves JSM like crazy. To be noted, ASN in JSM had no hold over him. He did not think she was pretty or beautiful. He could barely hold it in when she was touching him. I am so happy JSM came back with SOG and together they can fight their "fate".
Mawang is becoming repetitive with not being loyal and being very self serving. First it was for his wife and now it's for his son/daughter. BTW, I still think JSM has a good chance of being MW's daughter.

In the story, it was a son that they had. So, the only character that could possibly be that son is the peddler's son. Question though, is the peddler also a monster/immortal? Definitely not SOG as he came from a stone. Argh. Who could it be?

I think a real wrench might be Kang Dae-sung. His storyline with zombie never really went anywhere and now Ah Sa-nyeo might try to make him a king. If that happens then it would pit Mawang against Oh-gong. I think the Hong sisters did a good job of laying the foundation for this face-off if that is indeed what it is.

The fact both storylines with priestess/king and MaWang/wife & child are about 1000 years ago has been niggling at me lately. What if their child was summoned by the priestess as the dragon to crown the king a 1000 years ago? Now he is being reborn just like MaWang's wife and the politician is potentially his current form? Keep thinking about possibilities of conflicting celestial and demon forces in child swinging them in their choices and heaven is forcing them to try and choose a side/punish like they did with Iron Fan. Could be way off too as I haven't read the original source material

I’m with JB—off with the bracelet! Feels like every episode they have the same conversation over and over—SOG saying he loves her and wants to be with her and Seon Mi giving in half way but still doubting. The magic bracelet of love was such a clever idea, but it’s so played out. They’ve been circling this drain for ages. The fact that she didn’t actually remove it before the episode ended makes me think they’re teasing us yet again.
Ma wang continues to be consistently some shade of grey. Even after 1000 years he can’t suppress his demon nature. Makes him a wild card and I like that a lot.

Honestly I think it's not going to come off... OG will probably wake up right before she takes it off and stop her from removing.
For me it's kind of like... I already know SOG loves her. Probably SM is still uncertain of that fact, but for us viewers I think it's pretty clear. He's so much more sincere when speaking to her, he wants to keep it on even though he knows he will die, and he's willing to fight hell or high water to defeat their deadly fight. So I think the reason why SOG wants the GGG to be left on is because he needs to have a point of contact with SM all the time. He needs to hear her when she calls him and be able to find her immediately.
Seeing how anxious he was when he was unable to find her, I think it's kind of important to him that he remains bound to her regardless.
I agree with you, I like how Mawang is a wild card. No matter how many years old these demons are... they are innately still demons and I like how there are some things you just can't suppress about them. It makes them all the more realistic.

I'd say that Sun-mi trusts that Oh-gong loves but wants to protect him since he is the weaker part of the equation right now.
Also, did the previous Samjang die in his quest? And was the geumganggo also attached to the protector's heart then?

in the original story, the monk and monkey completed the quest and became deities, the ggg was removed after. Original ggg tightens on his head and gives him a 'migraine' when the monk recites the sutra.

I agree with you that SOG wants the GGG left on. I've been suspecting that he loves being in love with SM, and though he doesn't verbalize it as much as SM does, he is afraid that his feelings would disappear once it's removed. It's sad to think that you'll fall out of love with someone you currently love. I also agree that he needs to have that point of contact with SM. After all, he was never invited to the group chat! ;) It's going to be hard for SM to remove the GGG when you've got SOG tempting her to NOT to remove it.

I thought the contract they made when she freed him from the mountain was what would protect her, so even without the GGG if she calls him he'll hear her and will protect her. The GGG was to stop him from trying to undermine her and find a way out of the contract. So even if it's removed, he'll still be able to protect her. Isn't that right? I'm having a hard time remembering all the little details.
Thing is, as a viewer I'm not sure he does love her enough. And I don' think he is sure either. That's why he's fighting so hard to keep it on, as @ar mentions above. I think he does love being in love, and his real fear is that he will take it off and that will disappear. The GGG allowed OG to access traits like compassion and selflessness that he'd pretty much lost, but has he really grown if it's not a choice? Is choosing to keep the GGG on the same as him choosing to love and protect her without the aid of the GGG? Maybe. I'm not totally sure.
Yes. It's not just mawang -- all of the demons/deities have had their moment of being a sort of villain of the week, including OG himself. The Hong sisters have been somewhat hit or miss over time, but they always have so many little moments of brilliance throughout a drama that make you really appreciate their talent.

I agree with you both. I also love the juxtaposition with Oh-gong with the bracelet and w/ out it, and Oh-gong with the bracelet and Mawang. Initially, Oh-gong could not be tamed. Try as hard as they might, Oh-gong was Oh-gong. It took the bracelet to be able to manipulate him, to reign him in. The same could be said of Mawang and the way how he was controlled with Iron Fan . The only difference here is that Mawang has free will and Oh-gong has less free will.

I personally don't really care if the bracelet goes off or stays on, but I can understand OG's reason for wanting to keep it on. It keeps him bound to SM, and it also stops him from ever being able to kill her. And I think that's what he's most afraid of - he may not want to, but he might end up killing the person he loves, be it by accident, or in any other way.

But even if the bracelet is off, won't he continue to be bound by the promise to protect her he made when she was a little girl? Would he be able to harm her with the bracelet off?
IMO having the bracelet off means neither can kill the other since it'll take away Seon Mi's power over his life and Oh Gong won't be able to kill her either.

I really wish we got to know more of Summer Fairy and Winter God's backstory. How was she so endangered that she had to exist in her brother's body or die?
I wish she had a better send-off - like a party to send her off.

You know what? As long as Mawang doesn't believe that Oh-gong is in on it, I am quite ready for all the two of them, plus their other demon friends, and Sun-mi to lift their middle fingers up to heaven and just screw it all. Because nope, heaven has done nothing but play with them, and manipulate them, and treat them unfairly all these years, and they have done so without any fear or impunity so far. I am just about ready for the monkey king, the bull demon, his loyal dog, the pig, the resurrected zombie and Sam-jang to simply shout "enough" and show heaven, hell. Yes, I recognize the irony.

Mawang is quite a frustrating character. He always thinks that what he did is okay with the love excuse.
He never take the responsibility and how many times have Sunmi suffered because of his irresponsibility?
On the other hand I appreciate OYS as an actress more and more. Despite some shallow people criticizing her looks and fashion as samjang, she stays true to her role. In the end here she is proving anyone wrong that she can be the most gorgeous woman ever!!!
Her portrayal of ASN is so aggravating. So scary that i want to kill her but at the same time very attractive.
Very different from the introvert and innocent Jin Sunmi

My frustration with Mawang is that I don't feel like he's been properly punished. His punishment for his role in SOG's release was that he gained SOG as a housemate. He was the one that got SM to accidentally free the ASN. When he took on Iron Fan's punishment, all he did was go blind. And SOG and Patriarch took on a little bit of the punishment too. He should have been grateful he was able to free Iron Fan from her fate. While he has a good point that heaven could have been effing with him all along, I still can't help but feel like he should be a little more noble and to be more suspicious of the ASN's words.

I felt largely uncomfortable when ASN was in SJ's body, because of how... thirsty she was, for lack of a better word. (Had the same expression the rest of the demons had when she kept touching OG). I'm not sure if it's because I KNOW she's not SM, but she just really felt like such a different, different person, that I'm amazed OG managed to hold in his anger for so long. (Kudos to LSY and OYS for portraying two characters so eerily, really).
That said, did anyone notice how OG kept grabbing her hands whenever they wandered around on his shirt/face, because it felt like he couldn't bear to have her touch him at all? The fact that he knew so well, and the conflicted expression on his face... oh boy. At the same time it made me really, REALLY hope for a similar scene between SM and OG in the future, same/more level of steamy, less of the horrified OG-face.
I actually... worried a lot for Frosty because I remember that OG and SM had a conversation about how a relationship is forever between demons. If they betray, they pay for it with their lives. And for all that I dislike the fact that Frosty helped ASN, I will willingly chalk it off as pure desperation to help his sister live. Because I personally almost teared up when he was telling his sister not to go. If humans can love their family that much, how much stronger must a thousands-of-years-long bond be?
I gotta say though that I'd hoped SM would wake up and call OG by herself. I'm not sure what she thinks about him being hurt, but I see it as him hurting ONLY when she's forcing him not to do something but he insists on doing it. Like when he wanted to kill the hitmen but she shouted at him to stop, and here when she wanted him to not come to her. It's the original concept of the GGG (The monk would chant the sutra and it would case Sunwukong to hurt so much that he would stop doing whatever it was he was doing). So while yes, maybe his stone heart has become softer and easier to kill, it's also kind of ironic if she shouts at him to stop because she wants him to not be hurt, but then... hurts him in the process. This kind of noble idiocy doesn't work!
Also, Mawang, YOU GOTTA STOP BEING TAKEN IN BY HER LIES.

Wow, that’s really shady and manipulative of the gods. I agree with Ma-wang. If this is true, then he has the all right to be mad at everything. But for now, I’ll choose to be optimistic and believe that the gods in this world are not some lying bastards toying our main characters into submission.
I’m not sure about the baby boy in the preview, but Sun-mi (with her origin still unknown and her ability to see souls) and Dae-sung (with his inborn evilness) have both the potential to be Ma-wang’s kid.

I am not sure about the grandson. I think he became too much of a 'side-character' or 'extra' in this show for him to be Ma-wang's son (and with only 5 episodes left). But hey, they brought Buja to the forefront so they could probably still do that with the grandson.
And regarding Iron Fan, I just thought that what happened between Ma-wang, Iron Fan, and their kid was all the gods' plan. Like they made Ma-wang and Iron Fan fall in love and have a kid together, kill off the kid, which pushed Iron Fan to make the sin all so that they could tame Ma-wang.

I haven't read the original source of Journey to the West but based on the HK Drama (known to have followed the source quite well) that I watched when I was a child. Ma Wang and Iron Fan's child was a very disobedient boy who caused havoc wherever he went. Iron Fan spent most of her time trying to raise her child properly whilst Ma Wang just neglected his fatherly/husband duties. In the end, their child caused a big commotion and had to be punished before descending to the heavens. So Dae Sung could be Ma Wang's kid. I didn't even think of him as a potential candidate.

Don't you think Iron Fan's kid is Ah Sa Nyeo herself? Yes, in the original story, the kid was a really naughty boy. And I think ASN potrayed that so much, a really naughty girl. Since the first time I saw ASN, I kinda remembered that kid in the original story. I know in the original story, the kid was a boy. But who knows if in this drama, the kid became a girl? Even the monk (Sam Jang) who was a man in the original story became a woman in this drama.
Beside, Dae Sung is human, isn't it? If the kid hasn't dead (and like ASN described), it must be not an ordinary human right?
But Ah Sa Nyeo also made me remember about Snake Demon in the original story (the strongest enemy in the end of the story) which collaborated with other Monkey that envied Sun Wo Kong (because sun wo kong was chosen to be the monk's guard in journey to the west). I think the other monkey in this drama is Dae Sung because it seems he will collaborate with Ah Sa Nyeo.

I love OYSs portrayal of the priestess more then when she was in Bu Ja! She was amazing and it was so much fun to watch! OYS is really proving herslef to be an extremely diverse actress and she should do more sexy roles but I feel in Kdramas that is reserved for the vamps or the other woman?
And ugh LSG and OYS should get together because their chemistry is truly crackling! I mean rawrrrrr

Things I loved-
1. OG doing a sexy flip over priestess/JSM- I have already giffed it and will never be able to think of LSG as unsexy again
2. Everyone pretending that priestess is JSM- so awkward I love it
3. OG sitting in MWs lap and begginnhim tompretend he is iron fan- can I please sit in CSWs lap?
4. CEO Sa wedding planning- I love this man so much and I wish he was my PA
5. OG making priestess fall hard for him with his stares. He is such a seducer
6.Summer fairy being brave, because that’s what she was! I will miss her so much.
7. OG being clever and wily again- he is so smart is hurts- in particular the drugged kiss! Yes boi I’ll have one of those when I experience insomnia. *Which happens all the time so will need all the kisses* and how he messed with her too! I could watch Han Joo being annoyed and confused all day
8. OGs attitude being very chaebol like and he fact that CEOsa is his dad in Han Joos eyes hahahah
9. OGs pain at not having JSM and proving he loves her, and is not attached to her body.
10. And MWs camaraderie in OGs pain and how they both get each other now
11. OG and JSMs reunion and how it’s almost like they are recounting their vows in a renewal wedding ceremony 😭
12. How he goes to her despite the pain this time!
13. The interesting plot twist about MWs child. All the theories the other beanies and I have been throwing around might be true 😱😱😱
14. Take it off! Take it off! LSGs shirt and the bracelet!
Honestly though, really loves this episode and the recap! Now I wait for subs!
I am concerned about how long it’s taking OG to recuperate after this painful encounter, it’s taking him longer from the last time. He’s becoming vulnerable and it worries and scares me that the death bells toll will come true.

All your points, especially 14. TAKE THE SHIRT OFF! (Caught a glimpse of those post-army abs in All The Butlers, and oo boy).
Also 3, except I want to sit in LSG's lap instead. (CSW's age goes too near to my dad's age LOL).
5. I bet that ASN now realizes the extent of what SM had to deal with at the start when OG was a bad guy to her. He has really come a long way, hasn't he?
9. The fact that OG wasn't interested at all in her body but instead felt revulsed shows that the love is so very real. T_T My heart!

Thanku for the recap... literally been waiting for the recap ever since I saw the episode in raw!!..
I think we all needed this episode..i think its clear at this point that SOGs feelings are genuine.. and looking at the preview.. SM clearly hasnt taken ggg off.. but to all people angry at this issue...correct me if im wrong.. the ggg is not supposed to be taken off according to the original story
Literally MW should NEVER be left alone with that evil thing. She always manages to manipulate him since she knows his weakness.. and im getting this bad feeling that the president can turn out to be his son..Aaaaa i hope not.. reaalllyy hoping JSM is the daughter..it would be PRICELESS to see the protective side of MW in terms of JSM an SOG..hahaha
if MW really was played by the heavens..it would be good to see him and SOG try to fight heavens..
I really liked the attitude of the whole gang when ASN was with SOG...it was kinda touching lol...
by now i want this drama to end cuz im dying of curiosity ... but also not wanting it to end.. ughhh

For me, this episode was definitely a solid showcase of the diversity in Oh Yeon Seo's acting because damn did she portray Ah Sa Nyeo to a tee. *waves a fist at the haters* Her switch back to Sun Mi made it even more endearing because like Oh Gong, there was a notable difference between the real Sun Mi and Ah Sa Nyeo possessed Sun Mi.
I'm sad that Summer Fairy had to go and that we only go to see her true form just before she disappeared. She was such a cool character and a friend for Sun Mi (I'm pretty sure they would have been best friends).
As for Ma Wang, I understand where he is coming from, but how many times does he have to be fooled into being used by Ah Sa Nyeo and how many times is he going to (slightly) betray Oh Gong and Sun Mi? I get his love for his wife and child but it just seems repetitive to keep using Ma Wang's motifs against Oh Gong and Sun Mi's love. It's life and death for those two. Well at the moment, mostly death.

Thanks for recapping and commenting, Javabeans!
I am truly bummed at the departure of body-sharing Summer Fairy. Sung Hyuk has done a great job in his dual role, and I will miss General Winter's little sis (and her occasional 5 o'clock shadow).
I'd love to know how she ended up having to timeshare oppa's body.
I assume that Oh-gong is sleeping off the effects of that dream potion he sneakily administered to Evil Priestess. What a creative way to slip her a Mickey Finn.
Kim Sung-Oh has been great as Sun-mi's long-suffering secretary/first mate, Lee Han-joo. His confusion over the relationships between the various demons within his sphere cracks me up. I love how he got frustrated at his fake boss screwing up all the paperwork he'd prepared in triplicate. I can totally relate.

I knew this was a necessary episode and resolved to sit through it (the whole ASN in JSM's body), but I didn't expect to actually enjoy watching it, lol. ASN can barely handle living as JSM for a day. The priestess had a fine time living as Buja who had no responsibilities except to figure out who she was. I'm sure her every need was taken care of by PK, MW, Secretary Ma, Oh Jeong, or the Summer Fairy/Winter General siblings. Sun Mi's life is very different and I liked that ASN suffered a little. Han Joo is continuing to be unimpressed by the various monsters that come into the office, lol. And yeah I have to echo what others have said, but OYS is amazing. The way she switched from ASN to JSM so quickly was horrifying and then seeing OG's crushed face.
The reunion in a dreamworld scene where Oh Gong is walking towards Sun Mi was so heartbreaking but also great. I feel like it'd also be very normal for OG to keep pushing through and reach Sun Mi, but since he's grown as a character, having him stop and wait for Sun Mi to come to him was especially moving. Like, the way his hand shook but he didn't move at all until Sun Mi's hand was in his. And that look of absolute relief afterwards. I love this couple so much!
Sidenote, LSG has some very long eyelashes. I couldn't help but notice them in the bed scene at the end. >.<

Here's wishing the confrontation between SOG and General Frost was a lot more exciting, like I feel we're a bit lacking on the whole supernatural fighting scenes- what even was General Frost trying to do freezing the room?? We all know he's no match for the Great Sage but I reckon he could put up a good fight and a beating up would have been satisfying before Summer Fairy stepped in.

but there's a deffirent between JSM and KDS... JSM loves OG so if MW want to kill OG,she will sacrifice herself for him.
and in the end the biggest loser is MW

To be honest, I wasn't really all that into this episode. I think what I really missed in this episode is our team of ladies: regular Sunmi (though I'm glad OYS got to have some fun with the Asanyeo character, I'm sad we had SM asleep for 95% of the episode), our Buja, and Summer Fairy (who only showed up to die). They're not as colorful or even as interesting as SOG, MW, and PK, but I feel like they help ground the drama. The world feels richer with the ladies. I'm just annoyed that SM, BJ, and Summer Fairy are given the short end of the stick while our guys get to posture and make questionable decisions (*cough* Mawang *cough*).
I'm guessing at this point in the story, the ASN is going to be our ultimate big bad? Can we just stick her in some other lady's body and give us BJ back? Maybe just stick her in SM's cousin?
What I did like about this episode was OYS as the ASN, SOG's cleverness, additional confirmation of SOG's feelings for SM, Summer Fairy's emotional goodbye (wish it wasn't so sudden...), and the possibility that the Heavens are more effed-up than we realize (if the conspiracy theory of the heavens effing up Iron Fan and MW's life to control MW is true...).

SUMMER FAIRYYYYYYYYYY!!!! Somebody called it (this result), but I can't remember who it was on the here. The actress who played her was appropriately warm, and it's obvious that all the immortals had an affection for her. General Frost's deep love for his sister was so warm. Even when she left, she gave MW a gift...that's the Summer Fairy I adore.
In regards to the Priestess, I wonder if she's so taken aback by PK because she's never had anyone care for her without her manipulations or use of her powers. That is, she's always been in a contractual relationship in her interactions with others. Buja is not like that. In fact, there's really no reason for Buja's existence. The help and affection that she receives from others does not require any tit for tat; she's just well-liked, despite not being useful at all. I mean, that's normally how friends are made for us measly humans :-)
This series is allowing many of the actors to show off their acting chops. The people that started out as humans get to be possessed. The immortals express both profound love and nonchalant attitudes towards cruelty like punishment and murder. Except for the actor that plays Kang Dae Sung who just seems like a smarmy human being...iunno, smiley evil characters just seem extra creepy.

Am a bit puzzled why would ASN's goal be to call the Dragon and make a king again? If she was betrayed by the king in the past, how would making another king bring her closure...
Only 5 episodes left and felt like there are still a lot to be covered.. e.g. OG and SM death fate, MW, iron fan and child story, Buja and PK, ASN and KDS, and the hinted apocalypse??? Hopefully all these will tie up satisfactorily.. and perhaps ASN/Buja would indeed play a mystical part in resolving the death fate (as ASN had promised OG that she could do).. and no more heartaching Globin-like ending plssss

The twist in ma Wang's story is interesting. I thought heaven might have hid the child to punish both. Iron fan for choosing a demon and him for helping her feed the child souls.

Now I'm freaking exited as all heck! This episode was freaking awesome. Now things are going to pick up steam--I hope--and we're going to have a good not so rushed ending. I'm loving it. Hong sisters, please don't disappoint me!
Couple things:
+ The way how Mawang was played, that's seriously messed up. That storyline alone would be interesting to see.
Indeed! 😂 Any takers on who the kid is?
+ Lee Seung-gi and Cha Seung-won are absolutely killing it!
+ I'm of the belief that even if Sun-mi were to take of the bracelet, he has been so brainwashed by it that it would have a lasting effect on his psyche/emotions/beliefs. I think it might be interesting to see him battle the brainwashing with his true emotions. That might be a torture in an of itself.
+ I absolutely love how Mawang and Oh-gong's relationship has played out.
+ I love how the drama has showed that pretty much everybody has something to fight for/protect.
+ I'm gonna miss Summer Fairy.
+
In another drama, scenes like this could have easily been cringeworthy, but I think the Hong Sisters have done a really good job in not being offensive with LGBTQI+ material.

It reacts that way when he goes against her wishes. On the rooftop he kept moving forward to kill those men even after she yelled stop.

Her rapport with MW, OJ, Hanjoo and everyone else around her was also not to be taken be granted. In other words, there’s no way ASY can become her in a thousand years! *shakes fist*

The one thing that is slightly annoying about the drama is the constant rollercoaster of emotions the writers seem determined to put fans through. Seriously, there are twists everywhere which advance the plot undoubtedly but sometimes grate on the nerves. I would say this episode is most probably the least twisty (lol, this always reminds me of Goblin) pretzel of them all. So I'm going to enjoy the calm before the storm 😂

I am still on ep 10. can't help but feel that there are lots of resemblances with Goblin - 1) human girl with demons (goblin, death reaper), 2) demons who hate each other living in the same house, 3) second male lead pining away for a girl (Ma-Wang vs Death Reaper). General arc seems to be the same although I am really enjoying the Hwayugi monsters that keep popping up, in true to goodness Hong Sisters Masters' Sun formula. Anyone else feeling the same?

At the beginning I thought that is was similar to goblin but it now it gives me a different vibe/feeling. The whole demons circle is very different from the one in goblin. Here they take barely anything seriously...not even the apocalypse. I really like that, because it shows that they are not human. General shin and the grim reaper were very much influenced by their human existence and took the weight of their actions onto their shoulders while here there is so much tricking and backstabbing. lol

A weak mind would have gave up her life since long time ago.
Her xharacter description is purity and devotion so of course she has a pure heart and loyal.
She is not weak . She survive all those years of being hunted by evil spirits/demons by herself. She used her knowledge to make herself a successful business woman.
SOG even said that she is the kind of woman who while busy working still put her efforts in helping humans by hunting the demons.
She said that as she maybe an idiot but since she has no power, the only way to protect SOG is by sealing herself but you can see in next ep she decided to fight this fate together

2) SOG put the wedding ring into the burner to get to JSM's dreams cos that's their "connection". what about mawang? what "connection item" does he have with the priestess?

Let me help u to give the answers. 🤣
1. She actually died long time ago if ASN didn't put her soul into her brother's body (General winter). Why she died. Not sure. The show only tells that there's something happened which caused her to death. I guess the writers didn't plan to prolong that as the extra back story. So, we can assume it as things that already hapoened in the past.
2. MW has the droplet of SM's blood in his system. So he has that connection to enter their dream world.
