A Korean Odyssey
EP 01 - 4: MONKEY AND BUFFALO



After getting rid of the evil spirits, Oh Gong visits a semi-permanent ice cream shop by the side of the road. Without ordering, she provided a large serving of vanilla-flavored ice cream cones and strawberries with various toppings on top. Oh Gong enjoyed it.


“General Ice, your shop is very quiet. How's this?” Oh Gong commented.


The young man of his early 40s: a plaid shirt behind a denim jacket and his long hair tied high with the rest of the bangs on his left forehead. He smiled kindly at Oh Gong. “You don't have to think about me, just focus on how to get back to heaven.” he said. He continued, “Because today you have obliterated the spirit of the doll well, your merit points must have increased a lot.”


“Hopefully so.” said Oh Gong, and he put his conical ice cream in a cup. “After I return to heaven, all my bans will be lifted. And I already have 2982 bottles of liquor to drink, plus this amount to 2983 bottles.” Oh Gong showed the bottle of liquor he had just obtained to this friend.


“Before the 3000th bottle, I hope you have returned to heaven.” The Ice General prayed.


“Of course.” Oh Gong is optimistic. “And it seems now you have decided to live well—t make trouble in the human world.”


The Ice General blushed.


“Ah, seeing who you are now, no one would have thought that you were actually the Ice General who had frozen the land to cold and desolate for centuries.” Oh Gong praised.


“I won't do that anymore.” he said. Then he gave a show: pouring water into a blender and freezing the water in an instant with just the cover of a palm.


Oh Gong was proud of him.


“Oh yes.” Oh Gong remembered something. “General Ice, have you heard of the bloody man Sam Jang?” tanyakanya.


“Hm, man with blood smelling lotus flower you mean?” he responded. “If you've heard of it, but I've never met a human like that.”


Oh Gong had guessed that. “But .. is it true that if you drink Sam Jang's blood and eat his flesh, anyone will gain tremendous power? Really so?” Oh Gong was curious.


“Well, if that were true, then he would be hunted by many creatures.” thought the Ice General.


Oh Gong wishful thinking, “If such a human really exists, I would love to eat it.”


The Ice General asked about something else, “Are you still living with Ma Wang?”


“Although Ma Wang was very chatty, but his house was nice to live in and the parking lot there was spacious.” replied Oh Gong.



High-rise buildings, cars lined the vicinity, and security posts were right in front of him. This is where Woo Hwi the Devil who is very liked Oh Gong.+


The owner of the apartment just got there. A driver ran out of the steering wheel to open the back door. From there, a black umbrella came down first, followed by shiny black shoes, then his tall mustache. Woo Hwi praised his chauffeur's work for today.


One step, he was approached by security that some strands of his hair had bleached— while carrying a flower arrangement in a ceramic pot. “Presdir, you just got home apparently. There is a delivery of flowers congratulation—”


“Safe words?” Woo Hwi thought for a moment. “OH! This must be from the TV station. Aih, how come they bother anyway. Hahahaha.”


“Not, Predir.” says Security, “This is addressed to Mr. Son Oh Gong, but here it says your address. Right?” the question, while showing the address written on a small paper and congratulatory letter to Son Oh Gong WHO IS BIG.


Woo Hwi was immediately annoyed. “Mr Son Oh Gong, right? That gentleman-SON-OH-GONG must be sleeping in my house right now. Just have him come down and take it himself.”


“But no one answered the intercom.” Security restrains Woo Hwi who is about to leave. “Connected you are here, all of you just take it?” he said, and immediately handed the ceramic pot to Woo Hwi.


“Aigoo, be-weight once this.” Woo Hwi complains, but doesn't reject the old man's request.


“What else?” Woo Hwi is upset.


“99Du 5050 your car, right?” tanyakanya.


With a ceramic pot, Woo Hwi replied, “Ya, right. Why?”


“Your car is always parked like that. Not very good.” says Security shows 99Du 5050 parked horizontally just behind Woo Hwi. “Not only two places, but three. In this case, the other car so can not park.”


“Basic thugs.” Woo Hwi's teeth vibrate. Then he continued to curse irregularly at Son Oh Gong who was not in front of him, while Mr. Security's lecture he ignored outright. As soon as the lecture was over and she got a polite farewell, Woo Hwi's curse ended with one sentence: “Kubmurin' you, Oh Gong-Oh Gong. Crazyhead!”


After bothering to bring a ceramic pot all the way to the apartment, he was anGERED by a fur coat that casually hung on his sacred buffalo statue and by the existence of this annoying monkey statue in his residence. “He was right he put the statue here. She thought, this is her home?!” his gerrick. Forced, Woo Hwi brought along a fur coat that casually up to the main room.


Son Oh Gong was relaxing watching TV while sleeping on the sofa. He laughed loudly at the spectacle, while Woo Hwi— the owner of the home— took great pains because of it.



“Hey, I told you: don't hang your coat on my holy statue! HANG A COAT IN YOUR ROOM THERE!!”


“Oh, sorry.” Oh Gong was busy watching.


“Keep why didn't you answer the intercom?”


“Hahaha. Maybe because of the sound of the TV, so I did not hear.” and then Oh Gong got up from his relaxed position. “Have you seen this? The show was so exciting. It's your show rival who said ‘los-los’ it. Get ready, your show rating will be followed soon.” said Oh Gong.


Woo Hwi still can't sit down because he bothers with Oh Gong's stuff. He waited for help, but never came. And he even served Oh Gong's remarks about the show's rating, “The difference is doubled. That is impossible.”


“Oh, but nothing is impossible. Judging from the comments of netizens, your show only gets bad comments know. The devil is like that, he said. Ah, I'm not calm thinking about your fate.” Oh Gong is not entirely lying.


“You don't have to think about me, but think about your behavior and stuff.” Woo Hwi ended up putting a ceramic pot on the table and a fur coat on the sofa without any help from anyone. And on the grounds of high electricity bills, he ended the spectacle exclaimed Son Oh Gong.


Oh Gong observed the flower delivery for her. “Oh, from Oh Jeong apparently.”


Woo Hwi asked, “Are you sure you can go back to heaven?”


“Not sure yet, but the Great Monk Soo Bo Ri calls me to meet tomorrow. Ma Wang, it looks like this time I will get ADDITIONAL POINTS THAT MANY.” Oh Gong is so confident.


Ma Wang felt that it was impossible. “Aigoo, I think you'll hear bad news: that I was raised to god again and assigned to babysit ignorant monkeys like you.”


Oh Gong did not care about Woo Hwi's words, he continued his delusion. “If I get a good position in heaven, I will use my influence so that you can become a god again. I know enough to thank you for freeing me from that stifling Marble Mountain Prison.”


From the monstrosity of disbelief, Woo Hwi turned into a furious glare. “Enak. I never set you free.” he said. “It's a mistake. Not intentionally. And for the sake of cleaning up that unintentional mistake, I AM WILLING to allow you to stay in my comfortable home. But once you get back to heaven, you'll be out of here, and I'LL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE COMFORT OF MY HOME.”


Oh Gong defies, “But I like it here. The parking lot is spacious and easy to reach.”


“No, no, no.” Woo Hwi pointed at Oh Gong. “You need to get out of my house. About the parking lot, I will find for you—which is spacious and easy to reach.” 


Oh Gong pouted.


While passing towards the room, Woo Hwi keeps raving about driving Oh Gong out of his house. He could be heard by Oh Gong. Therefore, Oh Gong shakes his head. “Oh, maybe because of the nasty comments he so baffled so. Really, nasty comments are terrible.”
