With just two episodes left of tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama “Hwayugi,†the production staff has released new stills of the cast having fun when the cameras weren’t rolling.

 

When cameras were rolling, they worked hard and focused on perfecting each scene despite the cold weather outside, but in between scenes, the cast would constantly make jokes and burst into laughter. From Lee Seung Gi to Cha Seung WonOh Yeon Seo, and FTISLAND’s Lee Hong Ki, the photos show how the set of “Hwayugi†is one that is full of smiles. Lee Hong Ki is even said to have earned the nickname, “The smiling angel of ‘Hwayugi.'â€

The main cast of Lee Seung Gi, Cha Seung Won, and Oh Yeon Seo stepped up to rehearse their scenes multiple times before filming began in order to make their interactions as natural as possible. They also monitored all of their scenes afterwards to make sure that they got the best shots.

Lol i bet you watch it on Netflix, right? laugh.png

Lol no. I stream it live while reading live recap... Then I watch the YouTube clips, and then I watch it on Netflix... But for this week episodes... Ill pass. I honestly have a very important upcoming exam and Idk if I can rewatch the drama again for now. I'm heartbroken 😭😭😭

 

Ps I don't think is a bad ending tho... I think its just heartwrenching. Maybe with time I can tell, like 49 days has a sad ending but I still watch it every now and then... And well hwayugi is not a sad ending per se, if I understood correctly (my brain isnt processing things well 😌)

  • Hwayugi: Episode 19hwayugi19-00817.jpg

 

Who said all the big action has to happen in the finale? We may still have one episode left after today, but this one is a major culmination for multiple characters and threads, so get ready to dive into some action. (Finally! We’ve been talking about action for so long that I was beginning to doubt it would ever happen. I’ve never been so happy to face the end of the world.)

 

 

EPISODE 19 RECAP

 

hwayugi19-00040.jpg

 

Sun-mi declares her love for Oh-gong, wearing down his resolve and landing them in bed together. She tells him “I love you†over and over, saying she’ll let out everything she’d built up inside.

Oh-gong says that he has something to say that she’ll like, but doesn’t tell her about removing the bracelet and instead says he’ll show her later. Dude, you’ve only got two episodes left! Chop chop with the truth, monkey!

After hearing that Priestess is helping Buja’s murderer, PK storms off to confront that murderer. Mawang hears about this from Dragon Prince Alice and is alarmed, because Mawang bound PK’s powers after the last incident, and that puts PK in danger. Moreover, PK is also risking Oh-gong’s whole master plan to defeat the dragon.

 

hwayugi19-00111.jpg hwayugi19-00119.jpg

 

PK barges in on Kang Dae-sung, who is surprised at the random visit from a famous pop star. PK only gets as far as growling Buja’s name (her human one) before he’s stopped by Mawang, who places a forceful hand on PK’s shoulder that keeps him subdued. PK fumes silently while Mawang “explains†that PK had been dating Buja, an idol trainee, and lost his reason when he heard she is now living with Kang Dae-sung.

Mawang asks what Kang’s relationship to Buja is, and Kang lies that she’s the daughter of a woman his foundation supports, assuring him that it’s all aboveboard. Mawang apologizes for the trouble, and forcibly shoves PK out of the room.

As they leave, they run into Priestess in the corridor. PK starts after her menacingly, but Mawang restrains him firmly. PK asks accusingly, “How could you do that?†Priestess looks conflicted, but just watches them leave with a sad expression on her face.

Back at the office, Mawang roars at PK for his foolishness, while PK yells at him to remove the tattoo binding his powers. Mawang says he promised not to interfere with Oh-gong’s life-and-death mission, and orders the others to follow his lead. Priestess will die anyway when the black dragon dies, and Kang Dae-sung will fall as well, so PK will get what he wants.

 

hwayugi19-00165.jpg

 

Oh-gong wakes in bed to see Sun-mi sitting nearby, smiling at him. Over breakfast, she reminisces on some of her favorite moments with him, saying she’d like to do them again.

As she recounts their past dates, Oh-gong’s mood grows sadder, particularly when she wonders whether she’ll see the egret/doctor again, and what happened between her and the prior Sam-jang. Oh-gong suggests that she take Frosty and pay the doctor a visit to ask her questions, and Sun-mi agrees.

Sun-mi sighs about having to go to work, briefly considering playing hooky. But Oh-gong says he likes that she’s the type who’d go on living no matter what happened, and she gets up to get ready.

 

hwayugi19-00213.jpg

 

Kang Dae-sung decides it’s better to move Priestess out of his house—he hadn’t considered how it looked to others to be living with a young woman. He asks Priestess if her host body was really dating PK, and she confirms that Buja had liked him.

Kang then asks if Sun-mi was really able to revive Buja’s dead body, and Priestess sharply says they don’t need her. But Kang is intrigued about Sun-mi’s abilities, and says he’ll have to meet her.

Mawang informs Oh-gong of PK’s recent behavior, but adds that he won’t involve himself in their business. He’s back to his goal of attaining immortality, because once he’s ascended to a powerful seat, he can look for his lost son. So he wants to steer clear of trouble.

COMMENTS

They… killed everybody? Are they all really gone? After treating these monsters’ lives so lightly for so long, it’s a bit jarring to have so many of them suddenly meet their ends, albeit in dramatic and mostly heroic fashion. Maybe that was my fault for not taking this big bad dragon too seriously, but I suppose I never had a clear grasp of the hierarchy of evilness/seriousness in this drama, where everyone’s already so much more powerful than reality.

 

I thought Dragon Prince Alice had a nice moment, even if it sort of felt like a non sequitur; she was a character with a lot of potential who was mostly set dressing for much of the drama, so it was nice that she had her moment of glory. It was rather sad that her death could be traced back to a series of unfortunate choices, like PK’s impetuousness and Mawang’s decision to bind his powers, but maybe that makes it more poignant, in that she made a sacrifice without having done anything to deserve the death.

Frosty’s death (I’m presuming) felt fitting as well, because he’s a tortured character burdened with a lot of guilt and sadness, and although Oh-gong has forgiven him for his betrayal, Frosty is one who would have carried that longer than anyone would have expected him to. So it felt like a noble ending to have him give up his life literally fending off the end of the world, and for crucial moments being the only thing keeping it from destruction.

 

hwayugi19-00895.jpg

 

As for Sun-mi… I’m surprised that they had her actually die, because that plays into the original vision of her fate and of course we’ve been conditioned to expect a subversion of that fate. I won’t rule out a major twist to hit us in the finale episode, because I would find it quite fitting (narratively and symbolically) if they were to bring her back to life as some sort of reward, or even to grant her immortality.

Immortality would be my preferred scenario, since there was always a bittersweet taste to the idea of Oh-gong loving Sun-mi for her entire life and then outliving her by a thousand years or more. (Assuming, of course, that he survived the ending scene.) Especially now that we know that the bracelet has no more hold on his love, it’s particularly saddening to think that he might be lonely forever—Mawang may have had far more tragic circumstances regarding his love, but at least there was always a goal at the end of his struggles, a light at the end of the tunnel.

And that’s not even considering what an anguished Oh-gong might do in a world without Sun-mi. We saw how he literally set fire to a world where Sun-mi died (in the film dimension) so that he could bring her back; is that something we should be fearing now? Except there’s no Inception-esque upper level for Sun-mi here; the world in which she died is the topmost level, so any act of destruction by Monkey would be purely nihilistic at this point. Not that he’s not allowed a little nihilism after having lost his love to save the world when he’d rather have had it the other way around.
