  • Hwayugi: Episode 18hwayugi18-01125a.jpg

 

At last, changes are afoot! Granted, we’re still waiting for the doomsday train to pull into the station after weeks and weeks (and weeks) of talking about it, but today we finally get some answers about our hero’s fate, and a sprinkling of hope that maybe it’s not all set in stone. This episode is all about the fluid relationship between nobility and idiocy, and where a monkey’s love falls on the spectrum.

 

 

EPISODE 18 RECAP

Oh-gong makes an offer to turn political hopeful Kang Dae-sung into a king, and orders him to gather more people like him who will do anything for money and power. Oh-gong says that Kang and those other people will call forth what he really wants, and we cut away to the river where the dragon will be summoned.

Kang Dae-sung suggests that they discuss the details of their deal over drinks, but Oh-gong says he’s too busy because he has to watch his weekend dramas, and points over at CEO Sa to say that he can discuss the details with him.

Kang Dae-sung gets bitter about being treated like he’s insignificant, and asks if Oh-gong thinks he’s some kind of god. If you only knew. Oh-gong replies, “It’s obvious what kind of world you would create, so would a god help you? Think of me as the devil.â€

Mawang finds Oh-gong lying around watching TV at home, and starts to nag about him ruining the couch and his general lack of thriftiness as a roommate. But when Oh-gong tells Mawang that he can have the Warhol in the bathroom and everything in his liquor cellar, Mawang gets concerned and asks if he really intends to die.

Oh-gong says he’s found out which demon will possess Sun-mi—it’s the dragon that Priestess will summon. Mawang argues that dragons aren’t demons, but Oh-gong clarifies that this one is a black dragon.

Patriarch tells the General Store owner the same news, and she attributes the existence of the black dragon to human evil in this generation.

Oh-gong intends to let Priestess summon the dragon for Kang Dae-sung, and defeat it before it can wreak havoc or get to Sun-mi. Mawang is skeptical of his plan, noting that dragons are not easy foes to topple.

Oh-gong guesses from the way he’s talking that Mawang has fought a dragon before and lost, and Mawang says he and the dragon merely sized each other up in a gentlemanly fashion before retreating. Ha. Oh-gong immediately calls him out on running scared because he knew he’d lose.

 

Mawang worries that Oh-gong will end up broken or dead, and says that the easy solution is right in front of him: Let the dragon possess Sun-mi and stab her with the sword. Mawang says it’s the bracelet’s fault that he won’t consider this as an option, and offers to cut off Oh-gong’s hand if he needs to.

COMMENTS

Well, that’s one way to break up. I was SO excited when Oh-gong finally took the goddamn bracelet off, and so disappointed when he didn’t show it to her right away that I was all ready to pitch a fit about it in the comments, but then Sun-mi managed to bring it back around when she refused to empty her heart quietly and went over there to pick a fight. Thank goodness for that. I really needed something to change in their relationship today, because the plot has otherwise stalled while we wait for this dragon to show itself, and I was prepared to be angry if we’d left that massive bomb about the bracelet sandwiched in between Oh-gong’s acts of noble idiocy and just ended on tears.

 

The thing is, I find his actions mostly noble and mostly not idiotic, especially when taken individually. He’s doing what he can to protect a human and the love of his life, while he’s prepared to sacrifice his life in her place to save the world. No argument from me that he isn’t just plain noble. It’s just that the sum of his choices has shown a pattern of keeping Sun-mi in the dark over and over again when she’s best served just knowing the truth and making decisions for herself, especially when she’s the one fated to save the freaking world. It did break my heart that he was too afraid that his real, not-under-the-influence-of-bracelet love would be a burden on her if she were left behind to mourn him, but it’s not like she’d somehow mourn any less if he died right now. I felt like that was a prime us-against-the-world moment that was left on the table when he didn’t run over to her to show off his bracelet-free wrist, because like he said, he defeated that thing with the power of love, for crying out loud. If that really does change the flow of fate and heaven’s plans for them and blow all the bad omens out of the water, then she needs to be given that hope now, not after the dragon is slayed.

I rather like the conceit that the bracelet only holds power over you when you resist it, and that Oh-gong may have been free of its influence for a good long while now. How poetic that a shackle is no longer a shackle the moment you actively choose to wear it. It’s a clean solution to the concern we had over whether Oh-gong’s love was real, because it serves as its own test of proof—he can only remove it when the love is real, so it’s not based on something intangible like whether he still finds her pretty (even though we all knew he would, duh). I thought his emotion in that moment came across perfectly, where he seemed scared to take it off in case Grandma was wrong, and then completely shaken when it proved her right. I’m grateful for that development, because I was getting really tired of the tease every time they almost took it off and then backtracked in pretty much every other episode.

And even though it was futile, I loved that Mawang spent the entire episode trying to save Oh-gong and looking for excuses not to let him die. I wish they were more consistent on the status of their bromance from episode to episode (because didn’t Mawang want to eat Sun-mi yesterday?), but when it’s like today, I can’t complain. I just need everyone to stop being a lone hero and get on the same page, because if I have to watch our good guys sabotaging each other instead of forming a group plan one more time, I will throw something. I’m all for leaving PK hogtied in the closet for an episode just in case too. We don’t have time for your well-meaning shenanigans, Pig! There’s a dragon that needs slaying so that the stupid monkey will tell his girl that his love is real, for some god-forsaken reason!

I went to watch this drama after I saw hate for Bora being justified by her acting as character of bitchy female idol who was *insert lavatory tentacle hentai* ed into being posessed by male octopes prince. I went wtf enough to check it out and tbh I totally love it. Just hope that Mawang will learn Ohgong is his son before the big finale and that the big finale itself wont include anyone dying. I hope Buja will get promoted to be deity so they canbe all together either way.

Lee Seyoung plays Buja/ASN with so much nuance I love it. She's doing such a fantastic job that I hope it means getting more main roles coming her way in the future. I like how we're finally moving towards some action though (even though the finale is literally next week lol) because I sorta felt like it was starting to lag a bit. Sad that this drama is ending next week :( It has been fun to watch...

wait, whut? I thought peddler's grandson might be ma wang's son amgplz.png

It would be quite a plottwist for me tbh since before the begining it looked like they lowkey pointed on Ohgong since even had the fan (did they said how he comes to have it) and they have father/son relationship already and his son is already teased to be strong (well its son odf "devil" and goddess right) and seems to be deity but this should be just mistranslation in subs.

 

And tbh I expect Mawang to play bigger role in finale than it seems. At first I thought he will be the demon who is set up to destroy world but I guess it would be too complicated for korean drama. So continuing in the saving my family storyline would be the obvious choice.

I'm screaming!!! Morning after sex fluff ftw...

ahhh... This reminds me of dragon age the videogame (the main character and witch-potential partner had sex before slaying the tainted dragon And the taint instead of going to the one who has to sacrifice went to the baby since it held the Grey warden power... How cool would be that samjang bb can be the vessel for the demon and since it's still developing it can survive and purify the dragon soul... As in the game lol)

 

I just don't want Seon mi to die T.T

It's been a while since I watch Hwayugi. Last episode I watched was episode 12 and now it's going to end? rlytearpls.png

I'm really curious with the story, but haven't got a chance to watch it

Well imp this drama is way more character driven than plot driven, which is not ptoblem fpr me since I live for character development. The story is nice, but it has some plot holes and unanswered questions. I would still encourage to watch it (unless they f@;$$; up terribly with the ending - ala black)
