Notes
- This drama is loosely based on the 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West (西遊記).
- The Korean title Hwayugi is a play on Seoyugi (서유기), the Korean pronunciation of the title of the original Chinese novel. As such, it does not translate readily into English, so the official English title is A Korean Odyssey.
- Park Bo Gum was offered a lead role, but declined.
- Filming began November 2017.
