Storyline
Son Oh-gong (Lee Seung-gi) aka the Monkey King was imprisoned in a magical house by Heaven for his crimes. Woo Ma-wang (Cha Seung-won) has a love-hate relationship with Oh-gong. The duo often bickers like little boys but, deep down inside, they cared for each other a lot.
Jeo Pal-gye (Lee Hong-gi), a pig demon disguising as an idol under Ma-wang's entertainment company. Sa Oh-jeong (Jang Gwang) is a CEO of mobile phone manufacturing company. Oh-jeong treats Oh-gong like his elder brother and respects him very much.
Jin Seon-mi (Oh Yeon-seo) aka Sam-jang owns a real estate company. She deals with haunted buildings at a lower price as she is able to see ghosts since young. Sam-jang once released Oh-gong from being trapped in magical house.
My View
I must admit the horror dramas, especially those written by Hong sisters, are usually extremely frightening. The trailer showing young Jin Seon-mi encountering a ghost in her school freaked me out big time. My heart skipped a beat and I could not move for several seconds.
Most of the ghosts or demons featured in AKO are absolutely scary. I don't even dare to find out what's next.
Cha Seung-won's acting skill is truly superb. I was laughing hysterically whenever he acted up.
I can't think of any other actor apart from Lee Seung-gi for Son Oh-gong's role. He is certainly suitable for it with his "attitude problem" look.
I'm very satisfied with AKO's ending.
