A modern Korean take on the Chinese classic novel "Journey to the West," the series follows the romance between a powerful but mischievous immortal Son Oh-gong (Seung-Gi) and Yumi (Yeon-Seo), a human who has the ability to see spirits and demons.

Son Oh-gong is bound to a protective role towards Yumi after she sets him free from imprisonment 25 years in the past.

Seung-Gi first rose to popularity in the country as the male lead in the 2010 romantic comedy "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho," which also aired in ABS-CBN.
