You really can't go wrong with either one, but since you already have a mirrorless, get a DSLR to fill in that empty gap. The Pentax K-50 will be cheaper over all.

It would be kinda pointless to jump into another semi-expensive mirrorless setup. You'd be better off getting more lenses for your Samsung instead of getting the Olympus. Don't get me wrong. The Olympus M43 cameras & lenses are great, but can be a bit on the pricey side. That or unload your Samsung & replace it with Olympus M43 gear instead.

K50 won't be cheaper if you want good lenses.  Pentax Limiteds are expensive and no better than the Olympus or Panasonic zooms.  The cheaper kit lenses are best avoided, water-resistance not withstanding.
