OMG! Sa Oh Jeong is basically Monica Geller! LOL! In some ways SOJ is really Oh Gong’s Monica - the younger cleaning-and-cooking-obsessed sibling who is always there for him no matter how much he messes up and is always ready to clean his girlfriend’s apartment.
And also, when your fridge is in such a sad state that the CEO of (Sa)Msung comes personally to clean it. Double LOL!

OK, that was a REALLY STUPID plan and completely contraproductive because if Seon Mi died in that van, there would be no need to worry about the incoming Apocalypse since Oh Gong would not only eviscerate the zombie and PK but burn the whole world down with them. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Honestly I’m horrified at the ratings, 5.1%? We are still in the middle and I really do hope they’ll reach at least 8%, this drama deserves SO much more, I would give at least 15% on cable. I seriously don’t understand what they’re doing instead of watching this dangerously addicting show.
Over 5% mark is considered a big success for a cable show, still. The ratings of cable show can't be compared with the ratings of dramas aired on non-cable networks. Originally, back in 2011-2012 anything past 1% was considered success of epic proportions. Later, the general math was that 1% on cable = 5% normal. But then came the third stage with the Reply franchise and Goblin where it would be ridiculous to say that Goblin was watched by more than 100% of people who were watching the TV. So now, the accepted ratio would be 1% cable=3% normal. That would make Goblin's ratings 60+ % which is the numbers of the highest rated shows in Korean TV history.
So Hwayugi has been scoring over 5%=15% from the very beginning, on non-cable shows the 15% mark means that the show generates profit. And if the ratings won't go below 5% it still will place in the TOP10 list of tvN dramas:

Also there is the fact that Hwayugi starts airing the moment My Golden Life - the current highest rated drama finishes (40%) - I think that is why the commercial break before Hwauygi is so long, to give the viewers some sort of toilet break and time to switch channels. Anyway, it is a truth universally acknowledged that high ratings don't equal high quality and vice versa.

THE LOOK OF SHEER HORROR ON OH GONG’S FACE! And here I thought that the only nemesis he might not defeat was death but the mighty Monkey King comes completely undone in the face of child’s tears! What a softie! It’s such a sight to watch Son Oh Gong who doesn’t fear anything or anyone become completely powerless because of crying children.
If the Heavens were smart they would send an army of crying children after him and he would run for his life or surrender completely.

Awwww, Son Oh Gong sticks up for SM with MW and forbids him to ask her to find the death bell because he won’t ever allow her to touch such a dangerous thing. Cue to SM - literally cuddling that dangerous thing. My heart just broke a little for Oh Gong here. But hasn’t he already learned that the love of his life just happens to be the biggest magnet for catastrophes and bad luck in the entire universe?
You really have to admire Oh Gong’s determination and meticulousness to protect Seon Mi at any cost from demons, Ma Wang’s greed for deity points, death bells, angry drivers and pretty much from everyone and everything in the whole world and beyond. And he is doing a great job at keeping her alive and unharmed, even though it’s damn hard considering that she sees ghosts, demons want to eat her and she became the chosen one who might get sacrificed in order to stop the incoming Apocalypse; yet he keeps soldiering on like a trooper. At this point, you would even say that nothing worse could possibly happen and then Seon Mi goes HOLD MY BEER and picks up a literal death bell on the streets.
She is such a magnet for bad luck and disaster that even the almighty Monkey King who can set entire worlds on fire has trouble keeping up with her penchant for danger and keeping her save and sound even though he works day and night at it. Oh Gong should just skip the part where she would call him entirely and use a literal chain to tie himself to SM physically and permantenly, not leaving her alone even for a second. They would eat together, sleep together, bath together,… you know, frankly, it’s an excellent idea!

I’M EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED! I KNEW IT IT WAS A FREAKING WEDDING! 14 DAYS AGO!
“You already got married twice, to me. Today and the last time.”
But the fact that Oh Gong himself thinks about it as THEIR WEDDING and in some way CONSIDERS HIMSELF TO BE SEON MI’S HUSBAND and tells her he married her twice and wouldn’t mind doing it again! Therefore it makes a complete sense that this is basically one huge parallel with the previous “wedding” scene and I could write an entire thesis about this alone. However, I’ll only mention the most relevant ones - OH reaching his hand to SM and her taking it, him saving her from a monster, her wearing a wedding dress,…. More importantly, all the new things he does - waiting for her at the altar, walking down the aisle to meet her. And yes, there is a demon involved but Oh Gong is definitely as affected by the sight of Seon Mi in a wedding dress as she is by seeing him standing by the altar, though each of them shows it differently.
And finally, OH GONG IS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VOW OF LOVE! THE SHEER SYMBOLISM! I mean, he hasn’t said them but EVERY SINGLE WORD IS TRUE ABOUT HIM; THOSE WORDS PERFCTLY DEFINE EVERYTHING HE FEELS FOR SEON MI. And that last sentence! That’s a straight hit to your heartstrings! SO richard simmons APT FOR SONG OH GONG!
This is the old version from King James Bible which appears in the drama:
“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.” – Corinthians 13:4–8a
However, this is the version used in Modern English:
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. LOVE NEVER ENDS.” – Corinthians 13:4–8a

I'm so excited for episode 10 because this is going exactly where I want it:
Will true love triumph over fake love? Can true love break any spell, even if it was cast by the Heaven? Is SM’s and OG’s love for each powerful enough to break the magical leash? Will Son Oh Gong come if Seon Mi calls his name? Will their contract be still in effect? And will it be powerful enough?

Geez.. this pairing is like one step forward and two steps back.
Can't they just be happy together????
And the preview for ep 10 isn't helping at all!! What's with the cold attitude to Sunmi?!? Waeee??? Please just realize that both of you love each other even without GGG!!!
I can't handle more angst!! Go Sunmi! Go get your man back!! And Ohgong, come back to your sense! You love Sunmi for who she is. Not because of the bracelet!!
The situation with the Book Seller is really an ingenious way for OG and SM to realize that true love can't be created or defeaded by any magic and that what they feel for each other is real. Once again huge kudos to the Hong Sisters for this amazing story and idea

DAMN! THAT WAS ONE HELL OF AN EPISODE! Hong Sisters were always a synonym for rom-com but this is no rom-com but pure ANGSTY ROMANTIC DRAMA AND I LOVE IT. So much happened today and each scene was a gem and the preview fo episode 10! Angst and more angst! Gimme!!! I dig the way the OTP relationship has been developed and there is so many obstacles for them to overcome and I'm really looking foward to watching them fight for their love.
