If you’re still not over “A Korean Odyssey” Season 1 that wrapped up in March 2018, join the club. The tantalizing mix of romance, comedy, fantasy, and horror has left fans clamoring for a sequel. But four years later, the question still lingers like the enigmatic smile of Son Oh-gong: Is “A Korean Odyssey” gearing up for a Season 2?
“Every scene, every twist left an indelible mark. We’re hoping for as many seasons as possible for this show because it has the potential to last a long time,” says a fervent fan.
For all those who are holding their breath for an official announcement, here’s everything we know about the speculated Season 2.
To Be or Not To Be: Where’s the Green Light?
As of now, there is no official confirmation of “A Korean Odyssey” Season 2. Despite its above-average popularity on social media and big distributor names like Apple TV+ and Netflix, the show seems to be in a sort of production limbo. Its IMDb rating of 8.0 and an 82% average audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes further fuel the question, “Why the hold-up?”
The Players in this Grand Odyssey
If you need a refresher—though we doubt true fans do—the first season starred Lee Seung-gi as the powerful and deviously charming Son Oh-gong. Playing opposite him was Cha Seung-won as the charismatic businessman Woo Ma-wang, and Oh Yeon-seo as the lovable JinSeon-mi. The trio’s performance was nothing short of mesmerizing, leaving audiences craving more.
“Both the performances and the story are outstanding. The characters are engaging and possess the possibility for development,” remarks another ardent admirer of the show.
The Elusive Plotline of a Hypothetical Season 2
Since the renewal is still under wraps, sketching out a possible storyline is a challenge. Season 1 left us with many loose threads, and fans have been concocting theories faster than Son Oh-gong can flick his wrist. One of the running theories suggests that Season 2 could continue from where Season 1 left off or introduce entirely new twists, turns, and maybe even characters!

Kdrama Opinion- "a Korean Odyssey" … that ending was just not it. It was not even ending. It didn't wrap the drama up and left us wanting a season 2 to actually wrap things up. I liked the drama and it had a good flow to it… but the ending was like "vroom vroom 🚘". pic.twitter.com/sTrFXmVIzS
