Most of us grew up with a certain image of the traditional novel ‘Journey to the West’ imprinted in our minds.
It is the first thing to come to mind, despite there being many remakes of the well-liked show.
There was an uproar on the Internet recently, when the teaser for the newest Korean remake was released. Named “A Korean Odyssey”, the show is set to air its first episode on Dec 23 in Korea and will subsequently air every Saturday and Sunday.
