Gina Feb 24 2025 3:35 am A fantasy film that touches your soul! We need such fantasies, they will feed our soul! I love Nam Joo Hyuk! He conveys a lot of emotion through his roles! I will look for films directed by Kim Byung-Soo, because I like his style! Congratulations to everyone! <3 Gina, Romania

Elena Mar 17 2024 8:15 pm I think I'm one of the people who understood every single satirical dialogue and sarcasm in this drama. And I use them in my daily life too. If you know, you know! Kudos to the magnificent actors and writers who crafted this masterpiece. I absolutely adore you! Nam Joo-Hyuk and Shin Se-Kyung are the best couple of K-drama.

Ulap Mar 05 2024 12:34 am I seriously disliked this drama. Why was Yoon So-A so wishy washy? I just could not find anything to like about this drama and I do not recommend it.

Carol Feb 10 2024 5:07 pm We truly enjoy her acting!

Shikha Sep 29 2023 12:58 pm One word... I f*** hated the Gods in it.. the end

Musly? Jun 03 2023 4:56 am Don't really like this movie, is to boring for my liking don't know why they criticize Mr shin,he only did what he did to protect ha bin instead of heabek to praise him for protecting his woman they started blaming him for killing biyoerm servent. I hated biyoerm for his role, he doesn't think before doing anything what a useless god. Don't know why everyone is hyping this movie

DAN-A May 11 2023 12:22 pm I liked very much ! Love the actor who plyed Habayek!

Jude May 10 2023 12:04 am I loved The Bride of Habaek. Mura was my least favorite as she was not as attractive as she her goddess role. Her arrogance was fast forward for me. I love the love that Habaek and Soa has for each other. I va love the main characters they were absolutely amazing. The supporting cast were awesome. I’m ready for season two. Let’s go

Elena Jan 27 2023 1:57 pm Highly recommend it! It is one of the Best works in the movie industry. I can compare it to "Fifth Element" Hollywood movie, only better. Ha Baek (Nam Joo-Hyuk) is Alpha God and Humble Man in one, is such a complex and gorgeous character that would not shine without Yoon So-A (Shin Se-Kyung). Besides perfect cast, drama has many layers: great humor, chemistry, soundtrack, acting, political satire (probably why low ratings), and so much more! Our society needs more movies like that. My personal wish for the director to continue create movies like that! I am waiting for someone to make movie based on novel "Sea Wolf" by Jack London and re-make "Better Tea of general Yen" with real asian actors. Both are strong, self conflicting characters.

Cadita Nov 03 2022 9:33 am It was funny. It was romantic it was quirky. The leads worked very well together. I would have only changed the ending with her going to his world since she hated her life in the human world.

I do not understand why this had such poor ratings. It was rather entertaining IMO. Classic fish out of water storyline with the god in the human world, and the adorkable human he falls in love with. Her initial reactions to the situation were quite understandable and she was funny. I have since watched the two leads in other shows and quite like them both.

There was (unwarranted) drag about her not engaging in "proper" doctor/patient conduct - but it's not meant to be a serious take on anything. It makes little sense to "lose it" when lighthearted fare fails the particulars. I don't care when (as a lawyer) I see inaccurate courtroom scenes (or lawyer conduct) in comedic situations & neither should psychiatric field. Lighten up, already.

YoungFran Oct 27 2022 11:18 am Unimpressive story line. The best actor is Lim Ju Hwan who played Mr. Shin HooYe. The most irritating character is the deity 'Bi -something'. Overall this story gives deities a bad name. They are arrogant, egoistic and obnoxious ..especially the one who harms humans & Moo Raa is so arrogant. Rightfully deities which such characters don't deserve being remembered as they did nothing for the humans but cause chaos. And what Right has the deities to blame Mr. Shin Hoo Ye for any deaths when it was them who provoked him..and it is apalling that they hate him for being born .. when the one who caused him to be such was his irresponsible deity father...their own king ??!!?

I'll be honest Jul 30 2022 4:58 pm I watched this for Nam Joo-Hyuk and I was still reeling from Moon lovers. It was more like dessert after the main course so I didn't expect a lot from it.

Rina Jun 24 2022 12:01 pm In my opinion, the best performing actor in this series is Lim Ju-Hwan. He plays his role as Mr. Shin Hoo-Ye very well. His facial expression is stunning, and his smile is so charming. For the story outline, to me, Mr. Shin portrays a true god, who like helping people. Other gods in the series are just snobby and pretty much useless! I would choose Mr. Shin over the King who is arrogant and condescending.

Su San May 14 2022 7:24 pm Trivia: the dress worn by Mura in episode 8 is the same as the one worn by the character Rachel to Nick Young's house party in the movie Crazy Rich Asians!

Cj Apr 18 2022 2:22 pm I personally adore this series, it’s refreshing and different from what I am used to a solid 9 of 10. I only despised how Mr. Shin was treated, he is such a pure sole and he tried his best yet he was criticized greatly, I felt bad that he had to take a life at such a young age but he was young he most definitely didn’t mean it and it was done out of fear.

Klovewithstefani Apr 06 2022 7:58 am You may feel a little unsatisfied with the ending. The drama seemed like a product ad and model shoot for Nam Joo-hyuk throughout this drama. They must have had quite a bit of sponsors but we aren’t mad. My rating out 7/10. Shin Se-Kyung made me fall in love with her. She’s an amazing actress. She’s cute and funny and a joy to watch. I made an edit of both kisses @klovewithstefani so you judge which couple in this drama had the hottest kiss?

Klovewithstefani Apr 06 2022 7:54 am The couple that made the sparks fly was Moo Ra and Bi Ryum. They had the hottest kiss of this entire drama. What did you think of their kiss? Their chemistry kept me intrigued the entire show.

RphHH Feb 08 2022 11:58 am I still not finish watching it but so far I love it. I love fantasy drama.

honeyrose Nov 30 2021 9:52 pm hummmm. i quite liked this fantasy drama. contrary to some opinions, i felt a strong connection between Habaek and So-ra. He is a god, people. bound to be a bit different, eh? The acting was quite good in all the characters; and while i haven't followed the webcomic, I trust they followed the story line. Totally out of left field for So-ra to fall for the 1/2 god, 1/2 human character of Hoo-Ye. Very grateful to the supporting characters, as well. Seriously glad that Netflix, US, has picked up this drama, and I look forward to watching other dramas with the actors that i saw here. Solid 9 out of 10 for me.

DoMinJoon Nov 27 2021 12:23 pm This is the FIRST k-drama that I decided to stop watching. The rumors are true: It is a flop. There's no chemistry between the main leads so watching it is like eating white people's food: lightly "seasoned" with butter. Overall, very disappointed. I would've loved to love this to support Nam Joo Hyuk, but this one was too hard to swallow. 0/10

Dramamovie buff Nov 04 2021 11:02 pm Although this is a fantasy drama I can relate to the writer and the plot. I love Nam Joo hyuk and Shin Se Kyung and the romance they have. Their passionate and sincere. Their characters is not an easy part, but they did a good job. Very close the comic story, their looks and the story itself. I applaud the cast and staff for working hard. The humor, dialog, expression was great.

Nez Delos Oct 26 2021 8:19 pm I liked this drama coz of Nam Joo Hyuk..however , many scenes were quite dragging and there is no chemistry bet Habeak and Yoo Soa ( quite unnatural when acting) compared to The Weightlifting fairy drama of Nam Joo Hyuk which is so nice to watch.

Jan Oct 15 2021 9:51 am This kdrama has the lowest rating in the history right? Is it really a flop or just to the knetz?

jibi Oct 13 2021 12:25 am A solid 4/10 drama for me. At first it seemed promising but by episode 7, the plot died and it seemed as if the writers threw all the cheesiest things to bring it back to life. The only reason why I continued watching was because of Hoo Ye because he was the most real and interesting of all the characters. The last episode was extremely rushed and there was no substance to anything that happened, and no rhyme or reason for the solutions to any of the conflicts that were brought up. Because of this, the acting was bad even though individually, the actors/actresses are pretty good - just that they likely couldn't connect emotionally with a random plot.

Mel Oct 11 2021 8:48 pm I would have to agree with most people here that the plot is bland with no real conflict. But I would still recommend this drama because of Im Ju Hwan's character and his story. Honestly felt that the drama would have been so much more interesting if it had focused more on him than on just an unattainable romance between a god and a human.

Chichi Sep 14 2021 12:28 pm It’s Lim Ju Hwan for me ...!! I love this series!!

Zeus Aug 14 2021 6:39 pm I loved this drama!!! Even though many here dont like this series, i liked it a lot. Good story, good acting and great chemistry! And OMG how sexy and goodlooking Nam Joo Hyuk is! First time i saw his acting skills and just top!

April Aug 09 2021 1:07 pm Love the OST so much! And nam joo hyuk so sexy omg!

Paublo Walker Jun 30 2021 5:35 pm I love this TV drama so much.❤️?

Teri Schuenemann Jun 22 2021 2:44 pm I loved this story also it led to my first soundtrack purchase and learning how to listen to it? I’m now really curious about Korean mythology When something soaks up moonlight it becomes a myth ❤️

Jaewooo Jun 19 2021 3:51 am I know many don't like this drama. But this is the best for me. I enjoy everything. It made me cry so much. I love it

Aylin Jun 11 2021 9:41 am I really enjoyed this drama, the scenario is refreshing and different from the usual rom-coms. Nam Joo Hyuk and Krystal did a great job, characterising their roles. If you are looking for something different you should watch this drama for sure! <3

KST Jun 09 2021 11:05 am I just finshed watching this today. Really romantic fantasy it was!!! I don't know why this drama is that much underrated! Really this is a good drama with a fascinating story though there are some uncertain points of the plot because it is not that much well-knitted! Despite that the acting was amazing. Both male lead and female lead act well. The other stars also the same. I want to say that Nam joo-hyuk and Shin se-kyung are doing their best fair to the character roles of Habaek and Yoon so-ah. I really enjoyed their acting as a pair! The whole drama was like a dream. I really like this genre of dramas like Goblin , Hotel del luna , eternal monarch etc. I think this drama too deserves appreciation like other TvN fancy dramas. I am a fan of both joo-hyuk and se-kyung so I like to see their dramas more in future!!! l hope to watch hyuk' s Start-up soon! After watching fashion king and this drama I hope to watch Deep rooted tree andSix flying dragons aswell because I thought first they are not interesting. I hope they wll be good as Se-kyung is there! LOL! Anyhow, what I want to say about Bride of the water god is that this will entertain you definetely if you are in to fancies otherwise this may not be your cup of tea!!! So watch this if you like romantic fantasies! Fighting!!!Saranghae!!!

Ellen May 09 2021 5:30 am That has to be the stupidest drama I have ever seen! The plot didn’t hang together, the acting was immature and the concept was ridiculous.

Erica L May 04 2021 7:38 pm A great drama ,excellent ,love it I didn’t wanted to end I wish there’s a second part to this?

Rene Apr 23 2021 6:25 pm Great acting and great chemistry. Story line was cool

12myang Mar 15 2021 5:25 pm Just read the manga. So much better! The manga does a better job with character development and the plot. I was excited to watch the drama but gave up because I didn’t want to be disappointed since I’ve been a huge fan of the manga for a long time.

Ren Mar 14 2021 9:10 am The story kinda stupid and boring... The only selling point are the characters...

xie Jan 28 2021 8:55 pm I don't know about yall but i like this drama a lot, yes the story line kinda boring but something about this drama that make me want to finish it, also the lead chemistry really really best match

Dramamovie buff Jan 26 2021 1:03 am I don’t know if you will get my testimony and We watched this drama on Netflix with 18 episodes not 40 per Asian wiki showed. It is an amazing story, the love story evolves with habaek and Yun So-A what a believable natural couple. Too bad they should have a couple award so caring. The other characters did very good. The dialogue was excellent funny, and emotional. Thank the staff casting and crew and all good job. Shin Se Kyung made Nam Joo Hyuk look really good, bold and a manly man. She always been an excellent actress love her acting. Once again, you all will be recognized as excellent writers, director, and crew.

Sarina Jan 15 2021 11:25 pm This drama was boring until the end was okay. I would not recommend this drama.

Kim Alice Jan 06 2021 9:19 am The drama was not really good in my opinion, maybe it just doesn’t fit my preferences. I felt the story line was too bland, like long winded too. I watched till episode eight and gave up. I wasn’t feeling it.

cutie Dec 09 2020 2:11 am I am sorry but this drama really boring. I only like the interaction between the second couple lead

lalee Nov 16 2020 7:24 pm SPOILERS MENTIONED, SKIP TO MY FINAL THOUGHTS INSTEAD if u dont want to read spoilers. Srry it's a long one

PROS - i came for male lead but stayed bc of the second lead. Although they were both great. I believe second lead's story and the way he portrayed his character was a 10/10! I sympathized a lot with his character, he's so lovable. I connected with his character the most. It teaches you that despite our sins or past, we have the right as human beings to change that. most times its not our fault. we shouldnt give in to toxic remarks or people that will trap us in the past. what a beautiful and transformational character. - some exceptional storylines, that was well delivered. i cried a lot.very sad some scenes - visuals, main leads are all good looking, beautiful scenes - wasnt a fan of female lead, but she was realistic, the drama touches on lots of pain and suicide. her character in distress, and her life struggles are all really real to me. How she lacks certain traits as a struggling human being is all relatable. - steamy kiss scenes! - some very poetic lines sometimes - You can feel every portrayed anger,betrayal, trauma, and anxiety of each character

Cons - Too many fillers, unnecessary scenes, the focus on the supporting extra characters that didnt make sense, had no purpose of taking up a good chunk of the series. although it adds a nice length and sense of progression, nothing felt rushed that was the only good thing about it. but u can possibly get bored really easy. some scenes i was not that attentive to bc most time, characters are just bickering, chatting - gods that didnt feel like gods. it felt like they were playing house half the time. i wish they showed more about their powers, and what does water have to do with anything. Haebak was the water god but thats about it. i didnt read the webseries and i heard they really butchered up some plots which i can see - continuing on with the gods, they are really all over the place. they understand some complex human concepts, but dont get understand basic stuff about humans - First love of Haebak and Nakbin made it weird for me. It just seems like this man just wants to be loved by a human. He falls in love easily it seems like, but the backstory didnt really support his character of being indifferent to love, being cold, and knowing nothing about humans. personally i wanted to think that Soo-ah (main lead) and Haebak would have a more of eternal love meaning but it seems like soo-ah might just be another human girl he fell in love with for the time being. the backstory really supported this idea, but im not too against it! also i heard its diff from the original story, the story of nak bin was more significant in the original writing. - writers made soo-ah go through hell, to the point it was getting overwhelming, lol. she goes through so much, and her character is really stressed and irritable which can be a bit draining but ig thats the point! (: - soundtrack in the beginning was awful and it felt comedic at first. gets better later tho - can be very overly dramatic, but its a drama after all

Final Thoughts I dont regret watching this series. I took a lot away from it despite the cliche concepts they picked up from other dramas. I liked how there wasnt really a villain. Some actors killed their role!!! But i would say, it wasnt the best works of NJH or SSK. Impactful crying scenes, and touch on father's love and love overall. I say give it a shot when u have nothing to watch and youre into fantasy like I am! Side Note: I did skip over some scenes that didn't feel like it contributed to anything, so this review might not be the most informative but just know i cried A Lotttt.

Stefan Nov 16 2020 7:45 am Really bad. Not worth the time watching

Mic Nov 16 2020 7:44 am This is one of the worst drama series I've ever watched. Gave up watch at episode 9. Low quality storyline. Not worth the time

nam joo sarang Oct 29 2020 7:19 am I have watched a lot of dramas and I have to admit the fact that the bride of habaek is one of the best dramas I have ever watched. Even though the ending did not satisfy me the way I had expected it to, I truly loved it. I still cannot get over this series. I don't understand why this drama is so underrated. I mean the storyline is unique and the njk is slaying as always.

Julia Oct 21 2020 7:57 pm The best rom com I have watched this year. Loved the chemistry between the lead actors.

Jane Land Oct 18 2020 7:00 pm Loved this story! All the actors are exceptional. Watched on Netflix.Will watch it again. Enjoying Asian shows streaming on netflix.

jestine29 Sep 30 2020 3:37 am i feel bad for the CEO like wow!!! they bully him and make him get angry and blame him for unintentionally killing someone for the sake of saving someone??? jeez they dont deserve to be gods when they are shallow and narrow minded. i love the story the first few episodes epsiodes 11 onwards it has become like a really lame storyline

Nam Yeon Joo Sep 14 2020 12:06 pm Not recommended

Yown Aug 22 2020 3:42 pm I had forced myself into watching this and gave up at episode 8. Something about ssk/ysa character that rubs me off the wrong way. And while i generally like njh, him in this is not so great. The best parts here are krystal and gong myung and even them cannot save this show for me.

Soo ah's character gave me such a disconnect, she's irritating when your are supposed to feel for her and her troubles. This is my first ssk drama and i don't think i'll be watching more of her.

Angela Aug 16 2020 4:52 am I love Shin SeKyung and Nam JooHyuk. Their chemistry was superb! They can be a great couple IRL. However, the story, in general, was OKAY. I got excited on the first half of the series but as it goes by, it became toooooo draaggggiiiinnnggggg. Anyway, if you have a lot of time during this pandemic, just watch this series.

Carolyn Jul 29 2020 8:48 pm I did not like this drama; it was not romantic. The female lead character values a dysfunctional relationship where she is called a slave and is treated as such. On the other hand, she rejects kindness and gestures relevant in a compatible relationship. I kept hoping So-ah would connect with Hoo-ye after Ha-beck initially left. But it did not happen. Wierd

Karen Jun 29 2020 2:09 pm I just finished it and it's good for me. Normally because I'm not that into shows that would stress you so much and would only satisfy you at the last episode. This one, it doesn't have much twist but it's not boring. I like it.? plus, Nam Joo Hyuk is so damn ??

BunnyBunny Jun 11 2020 9:56 am Already watch this drama on 2017. Sorry to say, but this is one of the worst kdrama ever. (1/10) 1 for the actor and actress visual :D

Saz Jun 06 2020 11:45 pm 3/10. The storyline is soooo boring and the characters suck. Even nam joo hyuk and krystal visual can't save this drama.

PonyExpress88 May 30 2020 8:58 am 6/10

Don't waste your time, except if you really like the actor/actress. I went in hard because I've never seen the actors before except for Krystal in The Heir. NJH is hot but he doesn't make me feels things I feel for the second male lead, his story is much more interesting and I don't get why the FM didn't have feelings for him like what... He's much more interesting than Ha Baek. Also I hate that theproduction is lazy by fake-filming all the underwater scenes. I mean if Jun Ji-hyun can do it in LotBS why can't they do the same? It's not like they have that many underwater scenes.

Kdramaaddict Apr 20 2020 7:37 pm I somewhat enjoyed this show. The only issue i have was the male lead. I enjoyed weightlifting kim bok joo so much and his character there, that i can’t shake it off. So i find his character abit awkward. With that said, still enjoyable. The bad guy is amazing that actor is such a great bad guy in all the series he acts on. Also, he wasn’t really bad until he was provoked which made the story quite interesting. I say 7/10 over all

beautyinside Apr 18 2020 7:08 am I love nam joo hyuk specially in weighlifting fairy and I really excited for this series because he is the lead. But after watching the first few episode, I thought that I'm just wasting my time. I really hate the character of the FL. Too bad, I really love NJH that I thought I could still continue to finish it, but no so I decided to drop it. Sorry.

CMT Apr 09 2020 4:34 am Nam Joo Hyuk Drama That I Have Seen, This is His Best Acting In All.

  His Drama I Have Watched. He Always Comes Out Looking Like  A Baby Boy(He Still Pulls Off The Roles Well)But, In This Drama He

Was So Manly, Looking Like An Alpha Male. I Wasn’t Even Expecting That. Him and Shin Se Kyung Really Balance Each Other

Well. I Enjoyed The Drama, Seems Kfans Were Really Expecting Too Much From This Drama, It Feels Flopped To Them, Would Rate The Drama 8/10.

Very Refreshing Drama.

Mercy Apr 09 2020 4:14 am I am so glad to be part of the ones that watched this drama. What a beautiful, classy, interesting, lovely, sad sweet drama. This drama holds a place in my heart. Seems Korean fans dont know there is nothing like bad publicity. If you don’t like something you won’t put so much energy into it. Checking the comment and it’s over 700thousand. You all promoted this drama more than your favorite, Is it the intense chemistry between the main lead actors, feels so REAL. I guess they were threatened by it, because since 2017 I still don’t understand how you dare say this drama is trash. If Korean don’t appreciate it, International fans really do.

SageMage Feb 28 2020 8:43 pm I finished this drama. Great cast. I like the character of ImJuHwan (Shin Ho Ye) than the others. For me he is not a bad person, contradict to GongMyung (Bi Ryum) said. I hate Bi Ryum when he caused trouble towards Shin Ho Ye. You know, he’s like a bully. Shin Ho Ye wants a new good life, and the issue in the past is not his will. He is only a child in the past and want to protect Nakbin from them.

And i dislike the character of ShinSeKyung (Yoon Soo Ah) here also. Her character here is just like an extras, self-centered.

Habak Feb 17 2020 1:33 pm Am i the only one who thinks this is a good drama? I mean the drama is a good time pass, I actually enjoyed it. Im watching this drama for the second time because I actually love how the characters are portrayed and I love how they act so well. they have great chemistry. The only thing I don't really like about this story is the story line... sometimes it's messed up and you don't know why something is happening. I think that people don't like this drama because they have high expectations because the manga. Overall, just give the drama a try I really recommend this drama because sometimes you'll cry and sometimes you'll laugh your butt off.

Come on, there are worse kdramas out there and yall know it.

Upset Feb 05 2020 12:23 pm I haven’t even watched the first episode till the end because I am so annoyed. They have butchered this Manwha, I can’t believe Yoon Mi Kyung approved this. Was she part of the process cause if so I’m suppose at the lack of inspiration they had for this drama, then have the cheek to call it a spin off. Even if it is a spin off shouldn’t some this stay the same, why does Haebaek have a wig his hair should already be short. Why did they make it exotic when in the manwha the inspiration is very much stemmed from Asia traditional. Joseon. Korea. with costume inspo from ancient China. This is a sham. A mockery of yoon mi kyung’s hard word. Habaek’s country is suppose to be full of colour biryeom and habaek are friends. They should have just done what Goong did and keep to the storyline, spin their own ending because the manhwa isnt finished. Is that so hard to do. Understandable if you don’t want to make Habaek a child there were so many ways around it. They should not have done a modern take on it. They should have done a tradition tale it was pile have been so much better and this is my criticism from just watching the First Ten Minutes. In the great words of Drake, “I’m upset.”

SageGrace Jan 31 2020 9:02 pm The concept and visuality was good. The majority of the cast did well and gave their best.

  It could have been a fun, unique, touching and enjoyable viewing.  However, I found it to be lacking in content and continuity.  The telling of this story was woven together so poorly, from beginning to end ... I thought it to be an unfortunate and sad waste of assets.

Lucille Jan 14 2020 10:06 pm Into episode 8 now and i have to say, this drama is mediocre, it's almost bad. Storyline progression is minimal. There's barely any character development. Too much soliloquy & the characters were made to go back & forth unneccessarily(this can be overlooked since it's a drama after all).

Still dislike that Female Lead is made to be so self centred throughout, Male Lead & Second Lead came across wooden & all the other characters were made to be nothing more than obvious extras, probably an attempt to add depth & layer to this whole mess. I don't blame the actors/actresses though, just hope the casts don't get a setback from this.

Upon reading other reviews, it seems this whole thing could have been made so much better if the storyline is better written to which i agree. I haven't read the manhwa from the original writer. The screenwriter seems to have written good stuff like Misaeng & Arang & the magistrate, personally have not watched those so i can't judge if something went wrong here.

Real Drama Please Jun 17 2019 8:36 am Pretty disappointing drama... The writer failed to establish or ignored the relationship between the gods' world and the human world. These gods and demi-gods aren't worshipped or even known among the humans and the gods aren't really involved in the affairs of the humans. So Habaek having to come to the human world just to find some artifacts so that he can become the supreme god is rather artificial. The writer simply slapped a situation together so a god-human romance can take place. The plot with gods, demi-gods, past events, etc. are wildly confusing and in the end, they don't really contribute to the story. Some reviewers seem to fault the actors, but this is unfair given the often stilted dialog. How many times does So-ah mumble by herself just to tell the audience what she's thinking? The scriptwriter couldn't advance the plot with dialogs and actions alone so she kept adding these "soliloquy" making all these scenes trite and awkward. Nam Joo-Hyuk delivers wooden lines acting pseudo-regal and comes across pedestrian and one-dimensional but that's what's allowed by the script. It isn't his fault. Same for just about all other characters. The quartet of the leads are all good-looking and pleasing to the eyes but hey, this is a Kdrama. Does anyone know of a Kdrama romance-comedy with unattractive leads? So no points there... I think tvN wanted something akin to the rating blockbuster, Goblin, as the basic premise is similar but it turned out to be a bust. On the side note, someone started a rumor that NJH's breakup with his girlfriend was due to SSK and the kiss scene. While that's got nothing to do with the quality of this drama, I can see how the studio struggling to maintain ever-dipping rating would start such a rumor. WOW, the on-screen romance is so real, it broke up a real relationship!! Yes, it's pretty ridiculous. I think this drama could have been much better at the hands of a better writer, and conversely, these actors and their agents should choose their projects more carefully. I see that Moon Chae-Won declined the lead female role; I guess she actually read the script.

toffee May 23 2019 7:34 am Nam Joo-hyuk is a wooden actor but I guess that's typical of the roles he's always been given. Shin Se-kyung can act but she's so bland. The standouts are the secondary leads- Krystal and Gong Myung.

I was falling asleep while watching episode 12 only to be jolted awake when the Nakbin girl was screaming. Even as a short cameo she has the worst acting I've ever seen. She sounded like she was choking on helium. Maybe that's why they wanted to drown her.

Kim kim May 20 2019 8:09 am the worst drama I've ever watched

Vs May 10 2019 10:10 am I love the main lead actress!!!!

amLoki Apr 30 2019 10:20 pm Not a bad drama for a fantasy theme drama.

TBH, the actress for the main role is not bad at acting at all but rather the character of the drama that makes her look a bit pathetic sometimes throughout the drama. I hope people can differentiate between the actress and their characters.

To blatantly hating any actor or actress because you hate their drama characters is plainly stupid and childish.

Sarah Apr 24 2019 12:06 pm Lol,If I read Asianwiki comment section before watching the drama I have dropped the drama due to people's criticism here. And it would have become a missing such a beautiful rom com. So I'm lucky this time. I watched the drama before reading any reviews.And this drama is really nice. I mean mailn lead couple having great chemistry and their kiss scenes are really perfect. Also Nam Joo Hyuk is really handsome ,I will rate him 11/10. Dx. Only problem is I don't like Mr.Shin's =(second male lead)character(actually I don't like this actor ,he looks like an old man,no hate) So I don't see any chemistry between Main lead actress and second male lead actor. So second male lead syndrome is no,no x 10000 for me in this drama. Kristal really has goddess look, and really match with other male god. Overall drama is very beautiful. Some parts are really describing literature very beautifully. And Nam Joo Hyuk's costumes in this drama is really gorgeous and from luxurious brands like dolec and gabbana, GUCCI,burberry ....etc....Same gies with kristal and other male god's costumes.

Ishani shashikala Apr 23 2019 7:23 am I like nam joo hyuk, he is so handsome and cute. Shin se kyung is also good. I like this drama ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

mae Apr 18 2019 3:10 am i love joohyuk but the lead actress is so awful skip almost everything except to krystal and gongmyung scenes love the chemistry between them

Maria Feb 24 2019 2:51 am Skip this drama...is was such a whole crap.

Maria Feb 24 2019 2:50 am Skio this drama...is was such a crap!

I Dont Want To Waste My Time For A Name Jan 26 2019 3:08 pm Honestly I only watched it because of the second leads (Krystal and Gong Myung) their story was really interesting(They are my OTP) and I like strong women. I didn't like the female lead. She was really boring IN MY OPINION. Moo Ra and Bi Ryeom should have been the leads.

nya Dec 06 2018 6:07 am i was a fan of the manhwa wayy before this was made and when i found out it was going to be made into a drama i was ecstatic but soon as it started i was disappointed, they literally changed the entire plot but just used the characters names and some traits/characteristics.. soo disappointed please read the manhwa its so much better and the art is beautiful. this had a good cast but horrible story

L Oct 09 2018 2:58 pm Such a waste of time....they say Kang Hanuel will show up but i didn't see him till the end....maybe i expect too much from this drama. since he is Water God right?! but little on the scene shown his power...i was expecting like the one in "Odessey"and the Shin Se Kyung....what's with her expression? Flat flat flat and boring...she was good in black knight.

Nishan Aug 20 2018 1:56 am Oh My God! Krystal is really a Goddess!

myxblush May 29 2018 11:56 pm I like it so far but my only issue is with the main lead actress. Such a pretty face but awful acting, her expressions are so blah. NJH portray the lead guy very well, he matches it. He’s so handsome.

Aiyu May 12 2018 10:42 am Despite of many criticisms this series earn, i will still rate this 10/10. I believe that the story was not boring (though it was rushed), if you know how to appreciate and focus. Se Kyung and Joo Hyuk do good, nice chemistry and acting. And for Se Kyung's bashers out there, Hey! Take life, She has a bad acting skills because you have a bad judgement (no offense). Love the drama and that's it, im currently on episode 14 and i will finish this one, i didn't experience boredom from episode 1 and even up to episode 16 i guess. Nevertheless there is still room for improvements for all the cast. Hoping seeing NamShin love team again. No hate just love

gusta May 05 2018 9:06 am mostly are bad reviews hahaha.. i feel you guys. i just waste my time watching this boring drama.. and i gave up on 9.. this drama didnt have strong plot which is the water god should have power even he lost his power because he came to earth at first, BUT THEN the stories going no where~

jknown Apr 17 2018 10:00 am the cast is a big w o w but sorry to say that i didn't feel the chemistry of the lead. i also didn't like the parts where njh need to have 7 (if im not mistaken) kissing scenes, ghad that totally made me loose my mind. I'm sorry but im a natural namlee shipper and i also love krystal ++ i discovered a new oppa (HI GONG MYUNG !!!) what i mean to say is that this show could even be better, like dude the casting like what i've said is d bomb, the osts are lit and the cinematography is good... well i enjoyed it somehow tho??

Jane Apr 08 2018 3:33 am I agree with the previous comment. This drama has a lot of great actors and actresses but im totally disappointed with the boring plots. I gave up at episode 10 but im now trying to finish this drama after about 5 months i stopped watching.The beginning of this drama is interesting but it became boring as the drama flow.. im a big fan of fantasy dramas but this drama srsly didnt suit my taste. Im sorry but i dont really recommend you to watch this drama.

A.e Mar 25 2018 10:17 am I think the drama started to get boring when he lost his power... I mean okay at first I thought okay that won't take that long to get his power back but I think he just got powerless for 3-4 episodes and the drama just got boring I don't know it's just my feeling. Also I didn't like the female lead, no emotions at all totally stiff. I gave up at the 10th episode because it just started to get incredibly boring. Although the plot would have been such a good story but the actors weren't .... Good enough... Don't get me wrong I love NJH but in this drama he didn't fit into the role I guess

Bobbiee Mar 17 2018 11:58 am I like the plot actually. It was well written, the chemistry of the main leads were totally off. 2nd lead syndrome are too much in this drama though. I just didn’t feel the chemistry between NJH&SSK

So Bia Mar 12 2018 10:02 pm I'm in love with this drama. Too much Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung, they are totally perfect. Their chemistry very strong. Love to see this couple in next project ?? after i watched this drama for 6x times, i still curious never get tired to watched this again and again. After all i love the couple! #NamShin i ship them! Hope they are dating in real life ❤❤❤❤

rozenschnee Mar 12 2018 1:53 pm I only watched this because of NJH and Krystal.. but.. the plot and chemistry were totally off.. :(

fiddlewispies Mar 11 2018 3:56 am i tried really really hard to watch this drama... I started watching it when it first came out and gave up on episode 6. Then one month later i took it up again and gave up on episode 11... Not a huge fan of anyone in this drama but i watched it bc i liked NJH in Weightlifting Fairy, but i think even Nam Joo Hyuk didn't suit his character in this drama as his acting came across abit too forced, like he was trying too hard to be "fierce" most of the times. Gave this drama a try although Shin Se Kyung's acting was shit in When a Man Falls in Love, because i thought her acting might have improved over the years. Nope. Still the same stiff, boring, expressionless acting except now, she actually laughs!!! Like what many other viewers have said, 00000 chemistry between the main leads, surprisingly even Krystal and Gong Myung acted better and had better chemistry. Plot was interesting at first, but too much filler and boring scenes and rly shitty lines. Maybe in another month i can force myself to watch the ending!

Are mi Mar 07 2018 10:14 am Well I read bride of haebek's manhwa.. I think what happen was they tried to create a spin off bit fail because they leaves out too much of its essences in the manhwa.. I love the manhwa version alot better..

Sara Feb 20 2018 12:15 pm Huge second lead syndrome

Ocha Feb 12 2018 12:33 pm Well...for me, I love this drama...nice story very entertaining. Don't mind for the all the imperfection...I just enjoy watching this drama.

Nk Feb 07 2018 10:28 am I dont know where the interesting part of this drama. At the first, I feel so excited to know that Nam Joo Hyuk is the lead actor but after I watch the first until 6th episode, nothing make me interest. Sorry

Daisha Feb 04 2018 6:54 pm I real like the couple they should be a real couple in real life they real look good TOGETHER

Thearoth Jan 15 2018 8:09 pm I love both Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung, this drama is good but some scenes are boring and too many useless scenes. I'm thinking of give up this drama sometime. But I still continue because I love them both.

Ai Jan 14 2018 7:38 pm This is my first time to write a review. I don't normally do this but since I am very disappointed with this series, I decided to write one. It started out promising. I thought it'd be interesting. The ending was rushed and all resolution, I felt were crammed in one episode. I sort of regretted watching and finishing this series within 2 days. I should've just slept.

AJ Jan 04 2018 6:13 am The actors worked hard but could not save a poor script and direction. This is a hot mess with little clear purpose or focus; even the title makes no sense. However, NJH is charming, rapidly becoming a major star, and the only reason I finished. But he deserved a better co-star. SSK is competent and can do well with a good writer and director, but she lacks range and depth as an actress and the charisma to attract a magical being like the god of NJH.

Mikey Jan 04 2018 3:31 am This drama was a bunch of nothingness. Good moments that are spread out with filler. The drama started out as interesting but then the writers decided to drop all of it and turn it into a lame, predictable, and repetitive romantic comedy. Disappointed by the potential this drama had.

Ura Jan 03 2018 6:37 am There is nothing more saddening than seeing Nam Joo Hyuk in this drama. He is such an acting genius, he did his best in this drama, but this drama was just so lacks of many things. They just abandoned his acting skill with lack of editing, bad music, terrible execution, exaggerating cinematography. This drama want to accomplish lots of things yet the execution was just so poor.

ellie Dec 30 2017 11:42 pm Honestly..I don't know if I can get through this one. Yet, I felt Nam delivered better than much of the cast..yet he came off just funny to me.

This show is all over the place. And the lead actress' as a doctor looks completely hopeless.

I dunno, I really wanted to love it, but I don't even think Lim could save it...and I would watch him in anything.

hope Dec 29 2017 7:57 pm i loved the whole thing i never watched a tv show that made me cry and laugh this much and i have watched a lot of tv shows and i am new to watching jdrama and korean drama but this show made me want to explore more of about these type of dramas i hope theres a season 2

smiley sky Dec 13 2017 2:34 am I have so many things to say abt this drama and for those who kept on bashing SSK. For goodness sake can you all stop talking bad abt her alrdy. I swear to god im so annoyed alrdy.

First of all i have to admit that her character is annoying in this drama. But for gods sake i watch "The Girl who see smell" and she is freaking good in there. What im trying to say is. The whole drama is just sooo freaking wrong that make her character look even more wrong. I mean she aint the only one who looks awkward in this drama.

nam joo hyuk's acting skill also suck in this drama(i never see him over acting in his previous drama) he also awkward but why yall kept on pointing and blaming SSK for this?

Everything abt this drama is suck. The plot. The chemistry is totally off. The awkwardness and all. I have to agree that they have such a great cinematography. But aside from that everything is suck.

I just dont understand why you all kept on blaming SSK for this. Ofc im not really a biggest fans of her. But the hate comment saying her stiff and all is making me sick alrdy. These hate comments still popped up in her recent drama. I watch that drama and shes GOOD. if yall dont believe me go and watch it.

my point is the plot that make this drama annoying. The production team. Not bcs if the cast. Do you think they want to act like that if the director wont agree it in the first place ? . The director want them to act like that. If the director is not satisfied with their acting skill he will ask them to repeat it over and over again. Dont you think so ?.

Jocylin Dec 12 2017 4:20 pm I'm only on episode 7 but aghh I'm so bothered by Hoo Ye cuz of Oh My Ghostess I can't see Lim Ju Hwan in a positive light. Aghh.

suddy Nov 20 2017 10:49 am Loved their chemistry.. i found it quite different from other series i have watched till now...wished yoon so A to become deity to become a diety to hold habeak's hand forever.. loved the acting of NAM JOO HYUK..

Erlinda A Sarmiento Nov 17 2017 7:01 am Love this drama!!!! Good chemistry, good acting & good story line.

Hemma Kim Nov 04 2017 6:25 am Super A++ with lots of love...

khogendra Nov 03 2017 2:48 pm wow....very very beautiful drama...great story ...nice acting...just love it very much...nothing boring..happy ending.. i hate those peoples who hate this such a beautiful drama...

kim Nov 03 2017 11:44 am awesome drama...i like it very............much...funny, romance, cute..just love it.

Jessa Ylagan Nov 02 2017 10:30 am i have so many sad and little good things to say on this drama. i really liked the title which made the drama interesting because the title reminded me of kamisama (for anime lovers) but it actually didn't met my expectations. i was disappointed especially when i expect too much on joo hyuk yet i manage to finish the drama it still made me cry and laugh and get hooked there are rising of emotions and plot twists and unpredictable scenes but then, the ending was just, an ending. i didn't understand how she was destined to be his bride (says wiki) and i didn't bother understanding the ending. i still love the ost but seriously the drama can do better. there were so many unnecessary and unrealistic scenes during episode 2 and the other 10 episodes. the water god was not portrayed justifiably in terms of his powers. THEY ONLY MADE ME THINK FUNNILY THAT YOU CAN SURVIVE IN SOUTH KOREA WITH NO MONEY.

EXOslays Nov 01 2017 6:23 am To the people asking why dis drama was named bride of habaek Jhalduro,its cause this was adapted from a manhwa named the bride of the water god n i honestly dunno why they changed the storyline when it was so amazing

Bi Ryeom Oct 29 2017 9:06 am Krystal and Gong myung indeed save the drama, that is why it should be tittled as "Bride Of The Wind God" (Bi-ryeomeui shinbu)??

Kate Oct 29 2017 4:36 am Awesome drama but i expect too much. Im totally not happy with the ending, coz in the end if you think, so ah will die, maybe they let joo hyuk to use his powers to make so ah his bride forever hahaha. Silly but not so silly? But i like the cinematography of this drama the best overall its awesome but the story i dont think so lol. And so a, I hate the part when shes crying or what( in the bridge when bi ryeom puts him in danger), it feels like shes not crying but instead moaning lol. But still i love her and i love this drama. ❤

Kristel Oct 25 2017 8:55 pm Oh My God!! Awesome.. I like this movie.. Love it

bride of the water god

Andela Oct 25 2017 3:32 pm I really liked this drama I know some People would dissagree with me however I think the bad ratings are the director's fault the actors really did a good job. I hope I can see Nam Joo Hyuk acting somewhere else.

Teeon Oct 18 2017 5:58 am I was anticipating and waiting for this drama waited for Nam Joo Hyuk however........ we never got see Habaek's full pontential we wanted to see his power , wanted to see him transform Shin Se-Kyung into his bride..... but no we got some sappy ,wilted plot with zero action ..... Krystal and Gong Myung at least saved the drama their chemistry was off the chain....Shin had the same face the whole drama whether happy , sad or in love,there was zero chemistry looked like it was forced , while Nam tried his best to close the gap of her poor portrayal.Really director!!!!! ..... I wanted to see him take her to water kingdom make it rain or something but no........ Shin needs to improve in her acting being pretty doesn't cover the gap.

Gdik Oct 18 2017 1:30 am I dont.know.if its the actress or the plot is just weird. I mean i dont expect anything from shinsekyung anyway. I just think she hasnt found the actor who can bring out the best in her when it comes to chemistry or that the characters she play care too much on how she looks. She just seems aloof. The music score, cinematography and animation is just superb. Actors are ok too. The story needs depth? I think its absurd. I just watched it for krystal and nam johyuk. In my opinion, the main characters need more explanation on their connection to build that chemistry? Wtf im still in ep 10 im waiting for that cute connection between the second leads. 2 more eps to.go

Anonymous1905 Oct 18 2017 12:05 am (Spoiler Alert) The story of this drama is very far from my expectation. What's the point of giving the title "the bride" if the girl is actually "the servant"? I honestly never read the manhwa so my expectation of the drama must not be bigger than the fans but still.... I feel disappointed. Can bring myself to finish it. Watching until ep 10 and only did it because I like the fantasy part, especially the costume. Other? Naah.

Queen Walnut Oct 11 2017 6:06 am Here's another flop drama of SSK. I honestly liked her a lot in Sensory Couple. I love her and NMJ but this drama is not exciting at all! It took me a couple of weeks to watch the last two episodes. I finished it today just for the sake of finishing it. In all honesty, Secretary Min and Shin Ja-ya are more fun to watch. Bi Ryeom and Moora too. I want to see more of Moora wanting to get her gifts back. All in all, I can't understand why she became the bride when she was just a servant. everything has no sense.

Extreme Lover Oct 10 2017 12:28 am I first started to listen to the song and I already in love with it. Until yesterday, I just finish watching the drama straight 3 days (ofcourse exclude time to sleep, eat, work). The movie actually not logic at all yet i still love to watch the romance part. I love the happy ending. Sweet!

Anonymous Oct 09 2017 7:20 pm To point out, first of all, I'm not a kdrama addict. So, obviously speaking, I don't have a "bias" actor/actress. Everyone was new to me when I started watching this drama(never read the book of this either). In my opinion, this drama was fairly well! The characters were portrayed well by every actor/actress. The plot was interesting and at some point, it made the scene very emotional. There were multiple times where there were certain scenes that made me so attached to the drama that I had to continue watching it! (At one point, I actually stayed up until 3:43am watching 3 episodes straight hahaha XD) although the drama left some of my questions unanswered, I still loved the drama a lot. I gave it a 9/10 rating.

For those that are hating on the drama, in my opinion, I feel like they are too focused on having the drama be "exactly" like the book. Yes, I've never read the book so I can't really say for sure what areas if the drama were different from the book but honestly, it's basically, if not almost impossible, to make a drama EXACTLY like the original book/whatever it originated as. In a drama, they are real people who have to act out nonfictional characters so of course their will be some difficulties in carrying out that task. The actors all tried their best and put in their best efforts for their representative character so they shouldn't be criticized that harshly. That's all for my opinion, and again, it's just my opinion. You can believe anything you like.

For the actors/actresses and the staff members, thank you for showing me a wonderful romantic drama that had a happy ending! Wish you all the best of luck in the future with any future dramas/movies!!!

Christianne Oct 06 2017 6:19 am Honestly. ..boring...hurmmm

Christianne Oct 06 2017 6:18 am Honestly. ..boring

The god of duck boat Oct 03 2017 10:27 pm I skipped everything, except the scenes that related to Mr. Shin. Other character was outshined by him. The story would be much more interesting if Mr. Shin was the main lead.

Score 5/10

Love Sep 30 2017 7:46 pm I still like it even its not so good

al Sep 30 2017 10:45 am The plot is quiet a mess. There are so many unnecessary scenes that make me unable to focus on the important parts. I do not feel chemistry between the first leads and i just think they're still awkward to each other. Surprisingly, i feel more chemistry between shin se kyung and lim ju hwan or krystal and nam joo hyuk. The acting of other casts outshine the first leads. But, considering the idea of the story, this drama is worth enough to watch.

Score: 6.5/10

This is just my opinion. No offense ?

Charisma Sep 28 2017 6:18 am Kim Tae Hwan!! My amazing boyfriend. Anyone ?!!

rein Sep 28 2017 1:05 am the female lead lacks emotion that made the drama boring to watch. her eyes were not expressive.

Sysiel Sep 24 2017 12:07 pm Just finished this drama, such a waste story. All i can watch just nam joo hyuk baby face lol, however the character for krystal, lim jung hwan and gong myung suit them all. I never like shin se kyung, sorry for her fans, not bcoz i'm jealous but it's not comfort to see her lame acting, I did'nt tell her acting was bad, sometimes it fits her. Maybe someday she can get actor that matched perfectly. Message of the drama is good but really poor and boring story

Gaby Sep 23 2017 4:00 am Everyone has a right to like or dislike...but for me ...if we want to watch until the end, this drama is very nice story and have a full message, about love and sacrife for the ones you loves. And Habaek learn became a human, learn about painfull, hungry, happiness and etc. So ....its depend on us. How we can enjoy every drama. do not let hatred and dislike on anything matter over our common sense. and always cornering others who disagree. let's learn to appreciate the hard work of others as well. this is just a drama. give constructive criticism, not criticism because of hatred or dislike. peace greeting for us all.

Shrewd Sep 20 2017 7:18 am @Dol+i sorry Im offended with your opinion. when your supporting idols are annoying af in the drama, always creating trouble, both overacting as h*ll. I might have liked them but not at the expsense of the leads who also worked hard in their craft, but we take it, it will always be your bias opinion! and who's now on tour, visiting his millions of fans across Asia, definitely not your supporting idols, beeh.

Dol+i Sep 19 2017 8:02 am This show could have gone on without the two leads (please don't be offended, this is just my opinion). I have always felt that Shin Se-Kyung's performances lack a certain spark. And while I enjoyed Nam Joo-Hyuks performance in Weightlifting Fairy, I feel he didn't carry off this character very well.

The chemistry between Moo Ra and Bi Ryeom was so much better. And the conflict between Bi Ryeom and Hoo Ye was much more spell binding. The story arc between these three characters felt more fleshed out and believable. I am a long time fan of Lim Ju-Hwan and I feel like he carried this show along with Gong Myun and Krystal.

Elahexol Sep 17 2017 10:28 am I watched half of this drama and didn't keep watch it because i thinks the story is so good but main roles's acting wasn't good enough...i loooooooove nam jo hyuk in moon lovers more than here ... his acting was so good in moon lovers ^-^

I love nam joo hyuk Sep 16 2017 1:44 am Tbh i feel like i ship ha baek and moora more than ha baek and yoon so ah... idk i cant really explain why but its just .. its kinda awks how a god is in love with a human i guess ._.

Bee Sep 14 2017 11:19 pm I enjoyed this drama and thought the leads presented their roles fine. The aloof Ha Baek, and the restrained So-A played their parts well. The kissing scenes were good and I felt their chemistry as the drama progressed. Her crying scene when she broke down visiting her father, and his trying to console was... so emotional, I cried too. I'll be looking out for these two in future dramas. :)

B Sep 14 2017 5:29 am Borin???. I'm so mad right now.

Geena Coupland Sep 13 2017 10:01 am When on air in TVN, I fall asleep in every episode watching the main casts ie Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung. (I apologize to both of their fans). It was a boring story for me especially both of their acting. I rewind and watch till Episode 16 because of Lim Ju Hwan, Song Won Geun and Kristal. (Their acting are better than the main leads). I am glad with Lim Ju Hwan's decision at the ending thus, glad Bae Noo Ri got tame by Song Won Geun.

ExoLover Sep 12 2017 12:34 am This is one couple i do not ship that much. To be very honest, I felt like i was watching an aunty and a nephew.... Nam Joo-Hyuk still has that youthful and baby face that makes the girl looks way older

ember rueda Sep 11 2017 4:45 am i just finished this drama WOW first time crying so much (FYI already watched a lot of dramas) because im not contented on the not so happy ending.huhuhu i wish yoon so ah could be chosen as a deity on her next life even just a minor god so he will be immortal and live enternally w/ habaek HAYYS

Mrs Lilian Yeo Sep 09 2017 6:15 pm The two main leads r both good looking & have great chemistry . The female lead acting is natural & subtle. She protrays the character nail on and show she is just a human with fault. The whole plot of the story can be better narrate...at first I was skeptical when I read all the criticisms of the female lead especially. As I watch the first episode I find myself looking forward every week to the two new episodes. U can see & feel the gradual emotion & feeling of the two main leads and getting stronger with each scene & they r more st ease & relax with each other. I like the kissing scenes between the two. First unsure, second when Habek is back...longing and third jealous & more intense. The last few episodes r so touching that I cried with the main lead.

Margaretha Sep 09 2017 2:51 am The drama is quiet good but for enjoy and understand you must watch twice ...and I am enjoyed chemistry beetween NJH & SSK very good...and romantic....

Ilukeyou Sep 08 2017 5:58 am I think it's my third time to stop watching in the middle of an episode because of Shin se kyung. I just attempt to watch it because of nam joo hyuk and the story line but sorry I really can't really handle watching her more. She's really not that good. Yeah, she's pretty but her acting is really bad. Please try to evaluate her previous dramas before casting her.

Ps. Sorry to all shin se kyung's fans.

Shandy Sep 07 2017 12:52 am this is why Moon Chae Won didn't accept the role because of the story itself. i watched it because of Krystal :)

Keytiebel Sep 05 2017 12:07 pm Storywise, first few episodes made me watch it even more but excitement fades when you go further. I have to agree with others that as episodes gone by, it does not have proper character and story development, lack of climax and kinda boring in between episodes. I only watched first few episodes because of Nam Joo Hyuk and Lim Ju Hwan but overall something's missing. I tried to finish it but i have to stop because it does not catch my interest. I'm a fan of Nam Joo hyuk but i think this drama is not for him. Just my opinion

tintin08 Sep 05 2017 7:04 am i just finished watching Bride of Habaek last Sunday, and i can say that i enjoyed watching the whole drama. i will miss watching both Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung :( i hope i can see both of you again in a drama or perhaps in a movie. Keep up the good work! Fighting!

Shuriken Sep 04 2017 10:50 am Horrible plot, doesnt even have proper conflict, no character development whatsover, waste my time

Mangos Sep 04 2017 6:22 am The first few episodes are alright. But the writing for the lead couple is horrible. Haebaek doesn't seem to prioritize his mission in order to get back to his kingdom. There's so much that I could rant about, but it would be a waste of breath. I feel like I'm suffering just to finish this drama. :((

ember rueda Sep 03 2017 6:11 am i had read a lot of negative comments about BOTWG before watching it but it didnt stop me from starting this drama i think it was absolutely amazing just by listening to its osts and trailer i was already in love with it as of now im still not finish but please lots of love for this drama....i think some people who havent watched this yet was already scared and started criticizing it because of you discouraging this lovely drama

Sasha Sep 02 2017 7:25 pm I didn't read the manhwa first, so i don't have any expectation or something to compare. The first episode seems good so i continue watch until 7th episode, and i decide to not watch this until final episode. This show is lack of 'something'. The story, chemistry between main lead, the expression of female lead; eh actually i dont like the female lead here sorry. I stopped watching because of her acting.

Liz Sep 01 2017 9:23 am A waste of time watching this drama, I can’t relate to any of the characters. Shin Se-Kyung, the lead actress, has acting skill of a mannequin; don’t know why she was offered the lead role.

Vladinne Sep 01 2017 2:38 am I really enjoying watch this drama. Since the first ep. I didn't expecting anything. I just wanna watch this drama, that's it. But then never thought i will super enjoying just like when i watched Goblin ( im not Kdrama addict ) but im glad i picked BotWG after Goblin from so many kdrama out there. The casts are nice to look at (no doubt) and... i find they played their character amazingly. If anyone noticed there's so many heavy scene in BotWG. But the lead casts could potrayed very well. How their expression and eyes speak louder than their words that's not easy to do. They deserved an award for played well.

Cess Aug 31 2017 11:15 pm At first, i was hesitating to watch this drama due to negative feedbacks. But i love Nam Joo Hyuk, Krystal and Gong Myung so i tried. I love the story. But i don't like the lead actress. She's pretty but i don't like the way she acts. And her character???what kind of doctor who looks more crazy than her patients? But over all...the drama is very good.

jungle_fish Aug 31 2017 10:32 pm Dont waste your time watching this drama... the first half episodes are worth to watch but the rest of eps are not just so important.. I'm here coz the comic... than the drama ver is totally different, so dissappointed

mila Aug 31 2017 10:16 pm The other characters stronger than the lead male. I just enjoyed the first and the end episode. Overall, it's just so boring, and the plot too long and didn't have climax. Not good.

Shan Aug 30 2017 5:13 pm I like nam joo hyuk The storyline is so weak... I watched this drama from the beginning... Habaek's not strong characters.. Habaek cant be able to do anything, even he came back from water land.. I don't like the ending... so weak..

chara Aug 30 2017 4:18 pm One of the meaningless drama in 2017. All the characters in this drama lose their significance to exist, why they even bother to exist i don't know. The leads acting are so bad i cannot even feel even a tiniest sadness. I actually enjoy Nam Joo Hyuk acting a little bit more in Weightlifting but he seriously look dumb and useless here.

ToniaB Aug 30 2017 10:08 am Puhlesss. BOWG is awesommmmmmeeeeee. Very fresh,fun and touching.the lead actress was excellent,she acted the role well.if u checked her previous dramas They are not usually the cheesy type e.g when a man loves. Her charm is just that and that's cool. Nam joo hyuk gets better and better each time I see him in a movie. He is an excellent actor. My favorite OST :glass bridges -savina and drones. ?. Debak!!!

Bia Aug 30 2017 6:57 am I don't know why but i uad great expectations for this drama. I think I'm going to drop it soon. I just can't like the plot of this entire series. It's so messed up. Am i the only one feeling this way? I'm currently enjoying "School 2017" and "The King In Love".

sweety Aug 30 2017 5:42 am anita flame, i like the way you describe this drama. for me this drama is awesome, full of touchy dialogue, the actress and actors are great. i can see how nam.joo hyuk show his emotion and also shin se kyung, the last eps so very emotional. i cried on this and also when shin se kyunv read a book in habaek room. i can't handle it. even i love it more if habek can show more oower, but the essence is about romance between human and water god. i really really appreciate thia drama the pd and writer, i keep watchinv this drama, watch on youtube . they havr beautiful scenes also .

TaiTai Aug 30 2017 1:15 am WTF Shin se kyung was way better with Lim ju hwan. They had more chemistry than her with Nam Joo Hyuk.

CNM Aug 29 2017 5:40 pm This drama was sorely lacking in the storyline! It was all over the place! I tried to give it a chance but the lead actress really can't act! There is something missing in her portrayals! On top of that the ending was ridiculous! If Habaek is going to stay with So-a for the rest of her life, how do they handle her getting older and older while he stays the same and never ages? Come on, writers! I know this is a fantasy butplease!

Andeng Aug 29 2017 3:18 pm I hate that Nam Joo Hyuk was absolutely powerless 90% of the whole drama. I also don't like Shin Se Kyung's acting. It was awkward and weird. Habaek and Soo Ah kissed way too many times, in my opinion. It was not at all sweet and romatic but rather unnecessary. The only thing that kept me watching was Bi Ryeom and Moo Ra's story. They were so cute and the portrayal was great. There's also good chemistry between the two actors. The halfie is also great. Thumbs Up! I'm deeply disappointed that Nam Joo Hyuk was wasted in this drama

korean_angels Aug 29 2017 12:32 pm Jayaibe I agree with you... I also forgot that the actually male lead in this drama is nam joo hyuk.. hes doing nothing.. kissing and kissing.. hungry.. and eat.. lol...

Jayaibe Aug 29 2017 9:32 am I really like Num Joo Hyuk but this drama made him like he wasn't the lead actor. Habaek is god but he did nothing! Then what matters about his ability,it's nothing.When Habaek came to the earth, he always asked money from Moo-ra and Bi Ryum whom is real god,they could create diamond,cars, thunder or else-which is cooler than Habaek. Moreover,Habaek never did great things to Yoon So-A.He only made her fall in love with him and kissed her again and again. The best scene of this drama for me is when Habaek jumped out the window to help Yoon So-A from falling the building.That's cool!

Poor Num Joo Hyuk with this character

Maria Aug 28 2017 2:41 pm i would like a season 2 in this drama. love it ... yeahh...

astiny Aug 28 2017 10:31 am where is kang ha neul???........

Perpetual Aug 28 2017 4:50 am I really really really love this movie its so superb and the ending part was so nice I can't wait to watch another of their movie

ke_bbul Aug 28 2017 4:04 am i started watching kdramas when i was about 13 and now im 19.... this drama has to be one of the worse dramas ive ever 'tried' watching. and that's saying a lot coming from me.

I really somewhat like the actors and actresses in this... but i'm so disappointed in the storyline.

maybe of i was still 13 and didn't really understand shit then i may have liked it?

while i was watching, it felt as though it was too vague and that i was missing a lot of information and so in the end it just turned out to be way too rushed. and so i stopped watching half way through ep 5 because i couldnt take it anymore. sorry but not sorry.

ruby Aug 27 2017 2:45 am Not sure why some don't like the story where in fact the story is great, greater if this has more episodes though. You should better watch carefully to understand each role of the actors and actressess.

korean chingu Aug 27 2017 2:43 am I liked the drama in the beginning. but after 10 episode script was a mess. i really liked the cast. I blame only the script. i had too much of hopes to this drama.

Clarkdale44 Aug 27 2017 12:00 am I was trying so hard to love it, but i always thought something was weird or off about this drama from the start. I am so glad to find i am not the only one feeling this way....

Minty Aug 26 2017 9:27 pm I don't understand why all I'm seeing is hate comments. I mean it's not the best show I've ever watched but I still like it. I like the way it was written and MOST of the cast (Im not gonna say who I don't like because a lot of people will come for me so) was great in my opinion. I mean it takes a while to get to the point but all in all it was a very good show and I enjoyed watching it.

suho Aug 26 2017 9:18 pm i honestly didn't like this drama, maybe i was expecting too much but the only reason i watch till the end was because of CEO shin like, he had a better flash back than the actual drama itself.

Elena Aug 26 2017 1:33 pm The script was a mess. The same can be told for the way the thing was filmed. This was a very disappointing drama.

Icarus Aug 26 2017 5:12 am @SoahLover

IMHO, cast was perfect, script was a mess.

Icarus Aug 26 2017 4:58 am Lim Jo hwan (CEO Shin), Gong Myung (Biryeom), Krystal (Moora) & her fantabulous dresses --- only reasons why i survived watching this show.

SoahLover Aug 25 2017 11:15 pm I was greatly disappointed by the initial casting and how they changed the setting and premise. It's like they just got the name of the manwha and the characters but the story and personalities.

So disappointed ?

No One Aug 25 2017 1:08 pm So Flat and Boring

Roowon Aug 25 2017 8:47 am I expect to much on this drama, but It end up so boring. And the way I saw Nam Joo-Hyuk on this drama, I think his not acting at all. I think his rating as an actor will decrease. I'm not a hater, I'm just disappointed.

Ro-Woon Aug 25 2017 8:42 am I expected too much on this drama, It started really good but end up boring. The story was locking on climax. I'm really disappointed. :(

Dailey Aug 25 2017 8:30 am Visual effects very good, but the story line to flat.

MinDo Aug 25 2017 6:44 am Boring storyline. Even he is the water god, he got no power. Too many unnecessary scenes.

Hunter Aug 25 2017 2:30 am @ Anita Flame: I loved your write up and absolutely agree with what you said. You summed it all up wonderfully. A shout out back at you from the North Island of New Zealand. See you at the next K-Drama ;)

X_X Aug 25 2017 1:05 am Wish NJH will get next drama better than this drama.

Kathrine Aug 25 2017 12:30 am I was wondering what all the negative comments are all about because I really enjoyed this drama. I also love the ending, everything was resolved as it should be. Nam Joo Hyuk's acting is getting a lot better with every drama. Hope to see more dramas of him.

Boom Aug 24 2017 11:21 pm Lim Ju Hwan is the best

Munchimon Aug 24 2017 9:15 pm Its better to replace both actor/actress because they do not match well the character from manga. Better put Sulli + Kim Soo Hyun, they can do lots of BJ + kissing scene which perfectly match the manga..

Onearm Aug 24 2017 7:20 pm the one who truly shined is the second lead actor. Drama wise. It's such a let down, I mean yes. It had its funny moments. But after ep 10 onwards everything was too long winded including each ofevery characters story. The lead actress would not have gotten so much hatred if the drama were portrayed better. I mean come on. She did not have that same expression throughout the drama.

mandy Aug 24 2017 1:45 pm love this drama, enjoyed myself to the fullest , it made me smile, laugh and the ending ep made a cry, 100 points for the cast ,I think everyone did a fab job. thank you for another great drama

Anita Flame Aug 24 2017 10:29 am I loved it!!! I found the plot and storytelling quite charming, funny, romantic and quite enjoyable. I would love to see more dramas such as this one. Yes, it's based on a fantasy romance idea, but that's the thing, we hopeless romantics seek stories, series and movies similar to this. I love how it kept me guessing and wanting to see more after each episode. I was hooked and reeled in from the start. Some complained about the acting of the main actress but I think she did wonderfully her part. As a psychiatrist, it would be normal for her to behave in a skeptical and closed off position. Hey after many sessions with patients who have delusional experiences, and not to mentioned her own pretty tragic childhood experience, it only seemed credible she would behave the way she did and not dive head first into the arms of Habaek. Habaek played his part wonderfully too, as the future King and a deity, he displayed a behavior that demonstrated his high rank and his unfamiliarity to the human emotion called love. All the secondary characters played their role to perfection. I laughed, fell in love and even cried, especially when she realizes her dad died saving her. Thank you for taking the time to produce this wonderful series. I'm sending a shoutout from the island of Puerto Rico.

janette Aug 24 2017 9:16 am I love this drama though it' s just a fantasy. The lead actor and actress have a good chemistry, the supporting actors also acts fairly well. How i wish it doesn't end yet coz among the recent dramas showing online, this one awaken my interest and makes me look forward for the coming episodes... Congratulations to the all the actors and everyone who is part of this drama production... God bless you all!!

Roh Laren Aug 24 2017 8:50 am Although I like Nam Joo Hyuk, a fine young rising star, who garnered a bit of success with his last drama, Weightlifting Fairy,in which he flexed his 'romance' muscles...he was adorable. That said, I watched his latest drama, Bride of the Water God, and I am sorry to say,...it sucked. Here is where the hype was WAY bigger than the drama could ever be. I was drawn by the cast, all very good actors, but the material was hopeless. With every ep, the story got more and more boring and robotic. These poor actors looked like they were in pain most of the time...from having to deliver such horrid dialog and act so bizarrely out of character!... Anyway, I hope there are better scripts out there for all those actors, but especially our handsome leading man!

zpark Aug 24 2017 4:51 am i like watching this story because of the ceo of beriwon. and the other things suck too much. funny thing is i watch all the episodes but i skip everything until hooye comes.

xxx Aug 24 2017 4:31 am For those haters who keep critizice Se Kyung. Stop it! You are becoming annoying a bit, honestly speaking. No one forces you to watch this drama and If you dont like this actress, just dont be interested in her, dont watch dramas with her, live as she doesnt exist. Its not polite to critize her all the time. I feel that she can act better than any of you haters so dont write about her anymore. What would you do if someone critized you so openly every time. So stop haters~!

vernessa Aug 24 2017 3:13 am I've read the manga to this drama and it was too much of a difference to the manga, I loved the lead actor as a star but in this drama they both sucked. The story sucked and all the actors really did a horrible job. The villain was the best act out of them all. Poorly done, this is another manga/live action mess up.

Tara Aug 23 2017 8:33 pm Most of this drama consisted of no dialogue, background music and the two main leads staring at each other. But where was Kang ha Neil?!

Elsa Aug 23 2017 7:30 pm I agree with Blaque Diamond's comment. I like Nam Joo Hyuk, but this drama is a bit boring since both Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se-Kyung's expression were not really show their feeling and emotion. I only like the story line and plot. In term of the best couple in this drama, I think the title should be given to Krystal Jung and Gong Myung. I love to watch their simple love story. Their expression and emotion look more natural.

Blaque Diamond Aug 23 2017 6:15 pm Too many unnessery dialogs makes the story dull.

Nux Aug 23 2017 6:13 pm It was a really nice story, nothing spectacular happened or so dramatic that kept you on edge but that was o.k. Personally I had gotten tired of watching emotional sagas and really enjoyed the laid back style of this series. The cast done a great job and I really liked their characters. How cool would it be for them to go on to the next character, like Shin Hu Ye and do his journey next but keeping all the characters in and their stories could be bylines.

leelamb Aug 23 2017 1:34 pm i'm quite disappointed with this drama..maybe i had too high of an expectation..but still towards the middle, i cant bring myself to stop watching because i was so curious about shin hooye's story, as well as bi ryeom's..and without realizing, the only reason i was waiting forward for this drama to end is to know what'll happen to hooye and biryeom..the romance between yoon soah and habaek is a bit too much and clingy and ugh..

zashi8 Aug 23 2017 12:50 pm This drama may not be fantastic and others may compare this to the manhwa but I still believed in the story of this drama. I havent read the manhwa and i have no basis for comparison. I just enjoyed every episode and live through the story of Habaek and Soo Ah..❤ I believe that's how you should enjoy each and every k-drama..❤

Rare meat Aug 23 2017 9:06 am This drama so stupid bland with worst lead male and female. The special effect so fvckin out of date

Sarahxxx Aug 23 2017 8:19 am What even exactly was the plot of the drama? The leads were soooo boring like no offense, they looked great and the drama started off well but then their scenes got boring, cringy, and their acting went off too. I loved Krystal and Gong Myung! They were the best part of the drama. Lim Ju Hwan was great too. I wish the supporting character like the secretary and the psycho girl ended up together, also nam soo ri and the friend. Rushed ending as well and jumbled up themes and storyline. It was nowhere near Goblin and a disappointing result

Marc Aug 23 2017 8:05 am Lousy story line, cornyand way too slow and draggy ...making the series boring.

Sarahxxx Aug 23 2017 7:32 am There were so many things wrong with this drama. But moving on when did Kang Ha Neul appear in the drama???It says cameo but I never saw him

Kekse Aug 23 2017 7:22 am I didn´t read the comics so I really like the history and the characters. I like the fact the main female character is kind of "mean" it is more realistic than when we have a character that suffers but she/he still happy and all cheerful. I know most of people think the lead couple is not good, but in my opinion they were just fine. Not the best but also not the worst that I have seen. The end as pretty good, I recommend this drama.:)

Nidhi Aug 23 2017 7:13 am Love Lim ju hwan ( hooye) So many things remain with loose end. Overall happy ending.

Migthy Thor Aug 23 2017 4:07 am I am super happy and satisfied to have watched this drama! Big thanks to all who shared and commented on this drama, you helped and encouraged me a lot when I almost gave up after watching the first episode, then I was able to endure, then comes episode three, everything went very well! The cast, the story, the production, the plot, the effects = everything was just fantastically marvelous !!!

Congratulations to the entire Production of Bride of the Water God (",)

SkyPirate Aug 23 2017 1:59 am The Ending is just appropriate and realistic that any human mind can comprehend. For those wanting them to go to godly realm, have you gone to heaven, do you what its like?? pls dont add more makjang to an already impossible story. okey, just chillax, its done, let it go!

Good show Aug 22 2017 11:56 pm I really want Shin Ja Ya to end up with Secretary Min!!!

Whiteboard Aug 22 2017 11:26 pm I ship krystal and gong myung more than the lead couple.... I don't get why people say se kyung's acting in this drama is good cause her acting just aint into the character.... I like her but this is already the 2nd drama of hers I'm disappointed in, like even Krystal's acting is better than hers. O and the drama plot was good at first but it got boring, the lead couple barely had any progression then weirdly all of a sudden in the last few episodes habaek starts acting soo pathetic like wtf are you doing scriptwriter?!!??

Moon Aug 22 2017 11:23 pm They should have casted Gong Myung and Krystal as main characters. They were far more better actors than those two lead. NJH and SSK lacks chemistry. I always skip the romantic scenes they look awkward together....This is the first korean drama I watch that I really wished they would separate in the end, lol. Yoon So Ah is selfish from beginning to end. I hated the character. I was more anticipating Bi Ryum and Moo Ra's love battle. I wish Krystal ang Gong Myung would be given their own drama soon. I'll be waiting.?

Kdramamovie fan Aug 22 2017 11:21 pm Hopefully Nam joo hyuk will be succeed in his upcoming movie@ new project Ansi Fortress, 2nd lead if I'm not mistaken. Support him if you're his fan. Cheers! Let's moving on.....

kira Aug 22 2017 8:50 pm this drama was good at the beginning. the director even said that it has a lot of similarities to Goblin that's why he didn't watch the drama and made a lot of change in the scripts and the reason everyone's buzzing about it ,but seriously director-nim you should have watch goblin ! ,bride of habaek is really a disappointment ,the script was everywhere , the story was pointless .the two leads characters are as boring af as well as there acting, krystal and gong myung are doing good,lim ju hwan's acting is great , but the hell with whatever twists are they doing with the storyline .what a waste of prod . -p.s just an opinion from a kdrama viewer ,i don't hate SSK and NJH but they could've done better ,miscasted maybe

gemma Aug 22 2017 8:38 pm the only reason i watch this drama because Nam Joo Hyuk is sooo handsome. Awesome visual. HIs acting is passeable for a new actor. But the story really sucks..I have high expectations since they say it's a blockbuster manga. Totally boring. I do hope that NJH will have another kdrama in action like city hunter that will be soo cool!!!!

kira Aug 22 2017 8:32 pm this drama has a lot of potential

mohaniejaneK Aug 22 2017 8:16 pm i really love this korean drama especially nam joo-hyuk... so handsome as ever saranghae!

mohaniejaneK Aug 22 2017 8:14 pm i really love the drama especially nam joo-hyuk.. so handsome saranghae!

Shd Aug 22 2017 7:56 pm this drama failed not because of the actors but the storyline. Pity the actors they choose wrong project

emoji love Aug 22 2017 7:21 pm 50 : 50 to watch this drama

viola Aug 22 2017 6:43 pm damn boring drama, endure to watch it just because NAM JOO HYUK...

Maya Aug 22 2017 5:46 pm i have higher expectation into this drama. I mean who dont know Shin Se Kyung? I started to love her when I watch Tazza, she's playing such an amazing couple with TOP, I highly recommended this movie when I knew the casts, Krystal, Nam Joo Hyuk, and Gong Myeong, this casts was so beautiful, but when I start to watch this drama, I dont even know what exactly happens, its still a freaky drama until episode 15

mylene Aug 22 2017 5:20 pm i just watch the whole drama and i like it. at the start of the first episode, i never expect so much that is why the ending is not that much disappointing. i love supernatural and romance genre.and Shin se kyung is one of my favorite actress. WE people have diferent preferences from another that is why we react to everything diferently, some may like SSK and some may dont. The drama storyline may not be solid but i was entertained with the scenery, romance, and conflict between the characters though the ending was not what i expected but atleast i wasd able to cry during those moments when the lead were about to be separated from each other. dont degrade this drama so much,, just find a reason t0o enjoy this drama and for me, i have enjoyed this and anticipated the release of ech apisode every tue and wed, i have to wake up early just to watch the newly released episode. this and the Goblin are the only drama that i patiently waited every week.

anthakarna Aug 22 2017 10:53 am Here is what I think of this Drama. Pretty Honestly. It is boring. Twilight fans might like it. I watched 'Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Choo' and I wanted to see another drama starring Nam Joo-Hyuk. That's it. The only reason I endured this drama for so long. I haven't read the comics so I can't draw comparisons with it. ->There is no solid central plotline. ->Any conflicts that arises gets resolved quickly. ->All they do is make lovey dovey romance scenes. And I can't stress this enough..... The CEO has more character development than the lead and the only bad thing he does is get unstable. Otherwise he is a decent person. I am half hoping the female lead to end up with him.

I am so fed up of this drama, the only couple I am shipping right now is that wannabe celebrity Shin Ja-Ya and Secretary Min. There! I Said it!!

bvblw Aug 22 2017 10:41 am I promised to be biased with this couple (NJH and SSK) and I promised to finish this drama 'till the very end but I can't deny that I dislike this drama. LSK and NJH weren't exactly my most shipped couple but I do love them together. The reason I don't like this drama is because it's quite boring. I expected so much and the storyline just didn't deliver what I expected. I'm sure everyone's expecting so much and its just honestly disappointing. Throughout the last eps the scenes were getting more and more cringey.especially the romance scenes. I'm sorry but the romance scenes makes me want to choke and cry. Especially the last ep. Shin Se Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk's kiss scene (I only saw a short clip of it) is super cringey. I want LSK and NJH back I still have hope for them. I want NJH to work with other actresses but for some reason Shin Se Kyung feels so off being parterned with him. This is soooooo disappointing for me. Hate me on this but it's really true and I know for sure also shares the same opinion as me.

anthakarna Aug 22 2017 10:17 am SPOILER ALERT

I am new to this whole kdrama scene, but after watching Goblin and Weightlifting Fairy, Bride of Habaek seemed to potentially unite these two (Excitement level high) with the Nam Joo-Hyuk as lead. Annnnnnnnnnnnd I was wrong. This is a confusing, messy, love drama. The leads are together because I don't know, maybe I am guessing female lead is really into karmic relationships. This Story had a lot of potential, they could have introduced better conficts in the 'deity world', or plain let Habaek grow as a person a bit. Its episode 14, and he is still begging his deity friends for money. Drive a taxi or join the frigging circus, have some pride, man. The CEO guy has more character development than the lead and he is supposed to be the antagonist. The only thing wrong with him is that he is unstable at times. Otherwise he is a decent person. And I am supposed to hate this guy? At this point I am shipping CEO and So-Ah. You know what at this point I am so fed up of this drama, the couple I am shipping is that annoying wannabe celebrity girl (Shin Ja-Ya) and Secretary Min. There I said it!!!!

H Aug 22 2017 10:01 am Why people keep commenting in a negative manner?? Why O Why? I hope you guys start putting yourselves into an actor/actress shoes and you'll understand the feeling of being pressured to do well! Instead of being harsh with your words cause I know it's your opinion but why not try to be appreciative with their hardworking and dedication on their craft!! Anyway, this drama is very good for me because I can feel the genuine flow of the story and the characters! It's good to say that because of this drama I start to appreciate shin se kyung and NJHyuk's acting! All the best for everyone!

X_X Aug 22 2017 8:35 am This drama is too boring... *sigh*

Sandy Aug 22 2017 5:08 am Dear Writer-nim/Director-nim, why did you waste this kind of story? Great story but unfortunately you've just ruined the storyline and audience's expectations. If the story is about supernatural & powerful characters, please focus more on the power they had and how they connected to the bride. What a wasted. :'( Sorry to say that. I don't want to blame the main leads because I know they're just working and they did what they've been told.

Gift Aug 22 2017 4:49 am Alright ep15 was really a waste. They didn't really do anything there, its just talk talk talk. I hope the last episode will be more fun because I hate to be disappointed. I truly really love this show. I wish there were more episode. I like Nam Joo-Hyuk, Ha Baek (Water God) the most of all and I believe there is room for improvement for him. Good job boy..

PMK Aug 22 2017 12:44 am Shin Se Kyung is really pretty, but her acting is so boring. It's the same in every drama. I think this is one of the reason I got bored of the Ha-baek & So Ah storyline. Nam Joo Hyuk overacts a lot as well. It just became too annoying. Biyeom & Moora storyline overshadowed the main leads. I'm more interested in Bi/Moo's relationship than Ha/So.

so ah Aug 21 2017 11:21 pm I immensely enjoyed this show. well done to everyone (writers, director, cast, extras) for providing such wonderful drama. very entertaining and highly recommend

dai Aug 21 2017 8:51 pm @Kdramafan, How did we like it? It’s simple, if you’re contented and just having fun watching this drama you will surely love it. Even if, many says that the actors and actresses didn’t fit the characters well, well I must say that it is their given script, their lines, their characters, they should act like this, like that, the emotions that they going to project can be; cry like this, be pathetic, etc..etc. That’s why we called them actors and actresses. If you’re truly a kdrama fan, everything they produced and televised will be treated fairly by you, regardless of whom the lead actor and actress will be. Just enjoy chingu ^^ life is beautiful :) :) annyeong!

gongmyungstal Aug 21 2017 12:50 pm I really wanted to give this drama a chance because I love Nam Joo Hyuk and I've seen at least one drama with Shin Se Kyung. It wasn't that she couldn't act, it was just too awkward. I never saw chemistry between her and Nam Joo Hyuk. Joo Hyuk had more chemistry with Seohyun than Shin Se Kyung. Maybe if they chose a different lead actress? Se Kyung's acting just didn't fit with Joo Hyuk. Krystal's acting isn't all too perfect either but I could see that she has really improved. I think that Gong Myung did a really good job with his character because I could really see his chemistry with Krystal. Their dynamics fit in very well, I hope that they get a chance to be paired up together again.

S4 Aug 21 2017 6:43 am So ha is queen of expression less acting

Navia Aug 21 2017 2:11 am the drama was lovable and enjoyable to watch, I am in love with this couple, they're able to drag me into their love story. I love shin se kyung's great acting, very natural but has a deeply meaning. nam joo hyuk is good looking as usual, even sometimes his acting was a bit weird, but he was stole my heart no matter what.

Erin Aug 20 2017 9:37 am I love both Shin Se Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk. It was a good drama! If it is a food, it has different taste, different ingredients but delicious.

Gift Aug 19 2017 3:01 pm I still think Shin Se-Kyung's acting is dull rating or not. But I love the show either way.

rudy Aug 19 2017 2:11 pm Love, love , love this drama! Oh, why so few episodes.

Perpetual Aug 19 2017 12:51 pm I really really love the drama for u guys commenting bad about the drama pls stop watching. I love lead actor and actress they are so sweet and the romance part is also nice

5uprise Aug 19 2017 10:49 am I start watching this drama for NJH but end up falling for going myung & Krystal chemistry...!!!!! their part is the best ..gonna miss them ><

Ainnisah Aug 19 2017 3:34 am Love, love , love this drama! Oh, why so few episodes.

Reun ranroth Aug 18 2017 10:44 pm Love this drama so much, do not care about other criticized are useless. There acting are great. Only watch this drama, even Fairly W G, I was not interested even a lot of people like it.

Hana Aug 18 2017 10:16 pm I love this drama, but I look forward to the scenes with Biryeom and Moora haha. I have a really bad case of second lead syndrome.

I don't really understand why everyone hates the main girl though, her acting was fine. Yes she kissed NJH who WAS dating LSK, but its acting. You should realize that a lot of actors are married or dating and its really not the fans right to tell them not to act out romantic scenes due to that.

Anyways, the drama is a bit cliche at some points but what drama isn't cliche? I have never seen a single kdrama that wasn't haha. looking forward to how they'll end this.

Ranqueenie Aug 18 2017 9:14 pm At first I put high expectation to this drama, thought this drama become another great of tvn's fantasy drama but for me it never come that great! Until 14 episode the story keep confusing me and both leads, gosh! They don't have chemistry at all in every part of them! Even in the kissing scene! The worst is there are a lot of kissing scene for them and that's so annoying ???

Lai Aug 18 2017 6:28 pm I love this show, and i love their love team. keep it up always ❤️ From Your fan in Philippines ??

Dooseobmey Aug 18 2017 7:32 am I barely knew NJH, but I watched some of SSK's works (including Tazza 2). I think both of them have worked quite well in their new series, including all the supporting casts. I don't understand why some of people hates their acting but keep watching them and made harsh comments, even include LSK in the comments. His girlfriend has nothing to do with his acting skill, the same as their break up starting today. It just happened. We need to be more objective and mature when making comments to someone's performances - and remember, they are human too who has feeling.

tiyuumi Aug 18 2017 3:49 am I seriously don't understand the whole drama. There are few loopholes never explained. I'm not sure if they could clear those loopholes with only 2 more episodes left unless they decided to have season 2 which I doubt so. Right now I'm confused! And I don't know what's going on already! Don't get me wrong but I really like Nam Joo-Hyuk. I don't see anything wrong in his acting. He's the perfect cast. I just don't like the female lead (Shin Se Kyung). She seems dull/expressionless in her acting. Damn! Moon Chae-won shouldn't have declined the role. I think she will be better plus a lot of people like her too!

Brilly Aug 18 2017 2:23 am I really love n enjoy this drama it z amazing I don't know about other drama they both acted bt I can't judge by the past I judge by way I see n that z this drama is really awesome .....and I read dat ppo don't watch cz the lead has a GF I think dat had nothing to do with the drama unless they have thea own issues can I don't think is the first n I don't think he is going to be the last actor with a GF so don't criticize unreasonablly .....in short this drama is really grt n all casts played thea parts well .......?

ikumsi Aug 17 2017 10:27 am Gift : ssk in "when a man loves", was critized not because of her acting skill, but because of the the role that she played. I think you should do some checking on this, it means that she had successfully played her role. The rating of the drama was also high .

dhanhiellah Aug 17 2017 7:10 am i reallllllllyyyy love love love the story since episode 1.... no issues for me....

Gift Aug 17 2017 6:35 am @Myname I don't agree that Ha Baek (Water God) is a terrible actor but I do agree that Yoon So-A is dull in acting you should see (when a man loves) I almost killed her in that movie. Besides this drama isn't the over serious kind of show. Its simple, interesting and fun. I love it.

sweet Aug 17 2017 4:13 am don't understand why people keep saying this is not good drama. For me it's so attractive story. many epic scenes that make me want to watch, but sometimes when it's too sad, i don't dare to watch but i keep watching it. nothing is wrong with the lead actress (ssk), or njh , they have shown their character perfectly. I just read many comments that they don't want to watch because of NJH already has GF, so immature. this drama deserves to be appreciated . beautiful scenery, romance and sadness.

Myname Aug 17 2017 3:35 am The story progressed only in 14th episode. The leads only look good, both of them are terrible actors. they act bad and don't contribute anything to the story. The second leads are far better actors, and moving the story forward. The CEO guy is the best actor among the cast. Of late, the leads are only kissing, hardly any dialogues for them. So bloody annoying. I'm just skipping their parts.

sweet Aug 17 2017 2:15 am don't know people keep saying this drama is bad. It's sooo intense & attractive story. Epic scene for me is also when habaek and nam soori showed ID card and driving license after they got back from god realim. It's soooo funny. Nothing is wrong with the SSK, she can portray so ah as a "strong" from the outside but weak inside. it's so real. I understand that many people want to watch Habaek's power, but the the true is a romance of water god and female human. What i expect is just don't give us so many sad moments, because sometimes it make people avoid to watch the sadness. But for me, this drama is worth it to watch, i enjoy every episode of it. I also read some other comments that namlee shippers don't want to watch this because of "romance scene" , we cant force people, but at least don't blame also to lead actress, let's not blaming to SSK, LSK or NJH, even though actor with new girl friend always make may fans compare and compare .

yawn Aug 17 2017 1:57 am don't know why people even like Shin Ja Ya/secretary Min couple, I don't feel anything from them. Even the second leading couple from Master's Sun had more chemistry than them (the relationships look a bit similar to me)

Mika Aug 16 2017 10:33 pm I'm so confused. Wtf is going on??

Inurdreams Aug 16 2017 5:58 pm finally! there is progress! still not satisfying tho but I love the passionate kisses omg! You little kids need to watch something else. wow! i read some parts of the manga. The manga is kinda boring at the beginning. The manga intro of Mui and So Ah at the beginning of each episode is cool but they don't relate to the drama itself since the drama diverged from the manga. Oh well. I'm sure the director, writers, producers, etc. have some serious explaining to do. I LOVE SSK and NJH! Oh, I love the ceo too. Gosh, he's sooo handsome!

Sweety Aug 16 2017 11:56 am Sorry made a mistake : I don't have any more words to ADD*...

Sweety Aug 16 2017 11:53 am This drama makes me sick... I like nam joo hyuk but not here sorry... I'm tired of his actions, if ever my bf will be like this, I would have already break up with him, what is that ? Does he think that he can control my life ? Shin se kyung, I watch her in fashion king, but I couldn't, she's a terrible actress, I think she doesn't have enough reactions with her face, it's like she's congeal... and in this drama, she's the same as in fashion king, she's like a dog, when the man lead tell her to do this, she does... I don't know in ep14, CEO shin hoo ye isn't doing good, then njh comes and take her away, then she follows, it feels like she has already forget that she comes here to help hoo ye... I don't have any more words to had... I only hope that CEO hoo ye will be happy, he suffers the most just because he's different from others, it's the same as this life, when you're different from others, you have a tough life, like skin colour, handicapped, you're not the same as others... Fighting HooYe !

Salju Aug 16 2017 9:17 am I love the manhwa, but after watch the drama.. damn! I'm on Hoo Ye side. Sorry Habaek, I really don't like u in this drama. Bi ryeom is also the devil here, the most annoying God ever. I like Myoo Ra, and I agree, Lim Ju Hwan is saving this drama..

chengretah Aug 16 2017 8:53 am I just love moora and biryeom..thats alll....

Guiltypleasure Aug 16 2017 7:27 am @reginaG : i agree with you!! I am waiting for bi ryum be thrown into lowest life.

I can't stand with his unreasonable tantrum!!!!!!! Even villains from other dramas couldn't make me willing jump into my monitor and kill the villain. He is really a sly fox . This Sick drama make me sick!!

ReginaG Aug 16 2017 5:06 am @Nux, I understand Moora & Biryeom are your biases, even though Moora has been b*tching all day and Biryeom has been a trouble maker and pain in the a** of CEO Shin like since forever, these two insolent gods even deserve to be turned into lower life forms for disrespecting their King. I even thought these two are probably on earth as they were banished in heavenly realm for commiting grave sins. anyway, I will still try to understand they are your biases, and that is your and your species opinion only, lol. while the rest I hope are still sane enough to know what is right and good.

kamehameha Aug 16 2017 5:00 am at first i am quite excited to watch this drama because nam joo hyuk will be the main lead. but after watching it for few episodes i got bored and it doesnt get my attention. i dont like the female lead. she doesnt suit the role and i cant feel her chemistry with the male lead. why she always mumbled her words and cant keep her expression well? the storyline was quite weak and every episodes was dragging. for me there were only 5 reasons why im still willing to stay for this drama

1) i like bi ryeom and moo ra chemistry more than the male couple.....they look good together.

2) Im ju hwan acting save this drama a lot. he totally a versatile actor and i really love his facial expression

3) nam joo hyuk was damn hot in this drama !!

4) the cinematograpgy of this drama were totally outstanding

5) this drama was only a visual drama. not a drama with a good plot and great dialogues by the actors. i just enjoyed the drama by looking at the handsome and beautiful actors

Evelyn Aug 16 2017 3:14 am I love this drama as well as all the actors. Stop the hate people!!

Nux Aug 16 2017 1:06 am She won't end up with the Ceo cause she has never seen him that way even though he is everything she's been looking for. Dependent, loyal, stable, won't run away like her dad etc etc. There is no chemistry between any of the three. Only Bi Ryum and Moo Ra's relationship is pulling the line. And Secretary Min and Ja-Ya's is a better story line than the main three.

Guiltypleasure Aug 15 2017 11:52 pm I hate bi ryum to the max !!!!!!!

Juchi Aug 15 2017 8:40 pm I dont know what is really going on in this drama. But I just dont get it why Lee sung kyung has to be involved in it. I mean they blame her for the low rating, its ridiculous they even wish her to die. They can ship NJH to anybody they want because they were actors and its their job. It's because she's the girlfriend she have to take the blame? . How pathetic morons nowadays. Lsk and Njh have a lowkey relationship and don't even bother to like each other's IG post. If their chemestry or the plot of the story doesn't work out well that's fine. You can learn from it. Better luck next time.

mylene Aug 15 2017 7:24 pm At first, i was so excited about this drama. i have been waiting for a live action since after reading the manhwa(though i havnt finish reading it yet). But after 14 episode, i could say that this drama version is a liitle bit boring and lot more different than the manhwa. The story line is somewhat weak to me. As i watched the episode 14, i just cant understand why are they acting that way? The storyline is so weak and not convincing. the drama is almost ending but still i am not satisfied. maybe because the main lead which is considered as the king of gods did not do so much at all. he is literally a weakling. hopefully the story get interesting at the last 2 episodes

Poko Aug 15 2017 6:48 pm Yep exactly what I thought! The CEO Shin Hu Ye is a good person and he truly didn't mean to kill anyone. At this point the storyline is starting to annoy me and the main leads have literally no chemistry at all. It's cliche and I know that because Habaek is the main character she's somehow going to end up with him. I now am starting to think So Ah and the CEO would be so much better and I wish I get to see the second male lead get the female.

Shd Aug 15 2017 6:38 pm Since this drama is very diff from the manga.... I hope so ah will end up with CEO.... He get my attention from the start... I'm sorry haebak, your role in this drama is so boring... ^^

Gift Aug 15 2017 4:44 pm @Ana you are so right about the sound track they should have chose better. Besides that, every thing is perfect to me. @pyrex I don't think Yoon So-A should end up with the (half god) Hoo Ye. Of cause he is trying so hard to be good but one can never hide his nature and One can not change what they truly are. Its going to show one way or another because he is evil. Bi Ryum provokes him because he is childish and everything seems to be a joke to him that is his nature that's why Moo Ra never takes him serious.

Ana Aug 15 2017 1:41 pm I love the drama, leads are great, their story is interesting and unpredictable. I'm also curious what will happen with Moo Ra & Bi Ryum and granddaughter & secretary :) I only wish they made a better soundtrack, that can make a huge difference. Overall, I am very satisfied and can't wait to see new episodes.

Pyrex Aug 15 2017 12:09 pm Am i the only one hoping that so ah will end up with the ceo(semi-god)? I feel like no one understands the semi-god. Why can't everyone see he's trying to be a good person but bi ryeom always disturb him T.T

yasmitasyaif Aug 15 2017 9:23 am Good looking n beautifull actors and actresses. But there's no depth in the story line. i'd prefer to watch classic K dramas...they're ammazing

Phoebe Aug 15 2017 8:07 am SSK's acting thumbs down.. crying scenes with her ridiculous sobbing noise is the worse!! Should have casted Suzy or Park Bo Young instead of SSK. I cringe seeing these two leads together. Just my opinion but SSK is just not that great of an actress.

Alice Aug 15 2017 2:44 am Frankly you're all hating this drama because your oppa is in a relationship with someone and it's not fair this drama is actually good the character development is smooth and the storyline is interesting. Both the main and the second couples are cute and the story with the demi-god is interesting.

Gift Aug 14 2017 10:58 am What are you haters saying, this drama is doing well, I do agree that they need to dial down the sadness but its fun. I've always wanted to see Korean drama like this. I love the scene where Ha Baek had to jump from that building to save Yoon So-A, men, that power! A good job was done there. The actors and actresses are perfect. But Moo Ra is truly beautiful. Can't wait for more episode. I also think ratings are stupid. I love this show.

Snake haslan Aug 14 2017 10:10 am I hope nam joo hyuk will do 3 meals a day after this drama. He looks so cool hanging out with those ahjussis...

StarlightStarbright Aug 14 2017 9:17 am At first I wanted to read the manga because I was having major withdrawals every week after watching the two episodes lol but after reading a lot of reviews expressing their disappointment in the series, I will wait until after the series is done.

StarlightStarbright Aug 14 2017 9:12 am I absolutely love this drama! I love love SSK and NJH together! They are my favorite drama lead couple so far!! Shin Se Kyung is an awesome actress! I love her in "The Girl who sees smells." I think she outshines more than Nam Joo Hyuk in this drama in terms of acting skills because her role has more dynamism and expressions than Habaek's role. However, Habaek's role is earthquake-shattering! People tend to compare this drama with Goblin and others. I'm glad I didn't have this expectation because it is very different from Goblin and it has its own story to tell. I'm enamored by NJH fantasy character appearance <3. Oh my goodness! The location, costumes, outfits and etc. are truly magnificent! I want to watch more korean romance fantasy dramas like this or like korean version of wuxia? lol

Miss Queen Aug 14 2017 12:15 am I love this drama ?

Jji Aug 13 2017 11:27 pm It is a boring dramaaaaa!! Very boring. Waste of time.

Sapphire Aug 13 2017 10:40 pm @jenny try watching her six flying dragons. Let's see if you still think that she is not good in portraying her character's facial expression.

To those people/kdrama-addicts who plan to watch this drama, drop the thought of reading the manga first because you won't like it haha. Different plot and story.

After reading drama, I am now bit disappointed of the drama huhu sad. Still like the chemistry of the two leads tho sometimes NJH's acting is awkward particularly everytime he gets mad. Lol.

fera Aug 13 2017 10:18 pm i really like this drama the chemistry of the lead role is so cutee i think the female lead is so pretty n good looking the male lead is so loveable and handsome cant wait the next episode hwaitinggg :D

jemma Aug 13 2017 9:29 pm I love the story ... can't wait to watch the next episode . I'm super in love with this.......................

papon Aug 13 2017 4:24 am In the begining it was so funny but now it isn't.there is no fun in watching this drama...last 4 episodes wasn't good.

Tshering Aug 13 2017 3:25 am I love this drama!

Gigi Aug 11 2017 4:02 pm I liked it in the beginning but now I feel like it's dragging, hopefully it picks up soon!

Jenny Aug 11 2017 11:47 am I think shin se kyung is ruining her drama again... when will she learn to make good facial expression. So boring! All her dramas are so boring

Win Lai Phyu Aug 11 2017 6:28 am I like this drama very much. Rating is useless. So I don't care rating. Love Love Love. Actor, actress and all members Fighting.

Me Aug 11 2017 4:21 am This drama is so boring, can't seem to understand where it's going really

Jane Aug 11 2017 3:58 am I watch this because of the lead, Nam Joo-hyuk. First, he is extremely good-looking, but his attraction is his ability to portray a god and not a human, a god living in a human world. I think he does that perfectly. There is chemistry between the leads. It is just subtle, under the surface, which makes it all the more appealing. They are both exploring forbidden territory and slowly acknowledging their true feelings. He denies it. She accepts the denial, but they can't give it up. Strong and exceedingly handsome god. Perfect romantic fantasy.

SkyPirate Aug 11 2017 2:33 am @christina, where have you been? are you aware many of Hallyu actors in 87 line have left entertainment to serve in military? with that scarcity of good looking K idol actors, they need to fill in those void, that's I think one of the reason this oppotunity suddenly came to Nam Joo Hyuk, aside from the fact that Water God also suits him, he looks beautiful in costume, like an anime direct to live action. Its not yet the end of the world, those actresses you mentioned will have the same chance to get paired with NJH is there's a good offer. I dont with you, but this drama is fine, interesting and very entertaining!

Jaebumah Aug 11 2017 2:32 am Lead actors have no chemistry, I skip all they 'love' scenes cause it's just too boring. They should have casted other leads, because they don't live up to the expectations

aida Aug 11 2017 1:42 am this drama has attractive story, it's roller coaster flow. Great acting, great actor maybe, too many sadness, sometimes make audience don't want to see it. Just because the habaek has no power until now, make the story seems no going where. But for me , it's building the story more interesting because a human touch of habaek. Just give more happy moments among the players. I have no doubt of the chemistry. They are so great .... . crying so hard when so ah read the book , and remember when habaek is reading the book. i believe we meet not coincidentally, what we best i can do is to love you.. at the moment i am passing through your love. it's hurtful

Thae Aye Aug 11 2017 12:14 am This drama has no attraction. I felt bored when watching it. Actually, I am really addicted in Korean drama. I don't want to blame the actors and actress. But, the link of the drama is really bad.

Anna Bella Aug 10 2017 5:03 pm What is the name of Bi Ryum's slave ?

Ri Aug 10 2017 2:30 pm I love this drama and I wish CEO Hoo ye will control the evil till the end

Gift Aug 10 2017 12:30 pm this drama is great. loving it. i like a good laugh.

christina Aug 10 2017 8:16 am The storyline is weak. Just curious if Nam Joo-Hyuk got to choose this drama himself or it was done by his agency. I feel that only 3 years after he debut may not give him sufficient exposure, unless he is given a very strong female lead...namely Kim Hee-Seon, Kong Hyo-Jin, Kim Go-Eun, Gianna Jun...However, I still feel that the casts had tried very hard and they did well. I mean we can't blame the artists if the story goes this way, right?

Hannan-haynie Aug 10 2017 7:44 am I wish the actress is shi min ah it will be perfect... The main actress here is so boring no effect i felt from here..

shayni Aug 10 2017 1:51 am I absolutely love this drama. The beginning few episodes I found kind of boring, but I may be biased because I'm still not over the Kim Bok Ju couple... But the plot picks up quickly and makes you fall in love with the couple.

I love how different the story line is, so if your looking for a "different" kdrama this is the one for you.

See Aug 09 2017 5:44 pm Even Yu Setoguchi and Natsuki Tomatsu has better chemistry than this one #sigh

Maurien Aug 09 2017 10:08 am It was good!!! My friends and i watch this. And we really enjoy it. Stay positive and Godbless. Looking forward for the next ep. :) :) :) nam joo hyuk fighting!!!

nasi goreng Aug 09 2017 9:43 am i have high expectation with this drama because i have read the manga.

there is nothing wrong with the actor. i like nam jun hyuk dan shin se kyung. they potray their character perfectly in this drama, But this drama is not like what i read.

Soah is strongwilled person and she is serious person and willng tto sacrifice herself for someone she loves, she doesnt care about wealth meanwhile in this drama, she acting very stupid, need money like crazy, she is a doctor but she is poor, she is very uncool.

And habaek in comic is very serious person, very smart, strong, know how to use power perfectly, always protect soah, manly and lack sense of humor meanwhile in this drama he is acting stupid, uncool, he doesnt has power, acting very poor, doesnt has any pride. he is acting prideful in comedic way.

i cant stand it anymore. the story is very lacking. they adding comedy too much and forgetting about the sense of this story. i cant take it

Casey Aug 09 2017 6:59 am Now I like ji chang wook and shin se kyung together they both perfect

alempoy Aug 09 2017 5:40 am I only like this drama at first 6 episode. but I stopped watching it because it's getting annoying.

All actors and actresses are great except the leading actress Shin Se-Kyung. her blank face ruins this drama. and the under water effects are the worst effects I've ever seen. it's like we're watching an old school fantasy movie.

maybe that's why I've seen some articles about this drama with the caption of "the lowest rating drama"

SuFran Aug 09 2017 5:30 am It was good at the beginning. But now is not ok. Is a poor scrip. Already episode 12, and the main character does not advance on his mission, neither seems to care about it. Also he has forgotten to try out his powers, and almost out of nowhere he fell in love. Nam Joo-Hyuk perfomance is only so-so in the last half of the drama. Make up and costume were poorly made for the last 2 episodes. What was so important at episode 10 and 11 is completely forgotten at 11 and 12, and so on. Hands down to production, writers, post production.

Josephine Aug 09 2017 4:10 am 100% agree with Emma George’s comment! Except for Gong Myung (Bi Ryum), other actors/actresses are portraying their respective roles convincingly. This unrealistic drama is a lighthearted, entertaining rom-com with a pinch of mystery. Its storyline is good, not complicated or twisted. I’m looking forward to the following episodes.

I deeply appreciate the hard work & dedication of the cast & crew and everyone who involved in the production and shared it with the worldwide audience

A number of episodes, I guess, depends on the writer(s) or viewers’ opinions. Please don’t build up suspense as the story unfolds to a flat ending. I don't mind many related flashbacks but do mind some meaningless shots for filling time.

Yaning Aug 09 2017 1:34 am The story is good, quite interesting at first but completely boring.

coollets Aug 09 2017 12:10 am i super love the drama,,,, just watch and you will soon inlove with the characters and role they are playing... can't wait for the next episode...

Jose Aug 08 2017 9:12 pm Someone need to make a drama with Gongmyung and Krystal as the lead couple

Poko Aug 08 2017 8:14 pm Also, I wanted to add that it's not the actors and actresses that's making this drama not as enjoyable as it should it's the plot. I think they had a really good idea and the actors executed their roles but the writers in the case fell short.

Poko Aug 08 2017 8:12 pm I don't like the fact that they are making Shin Daepyo (신대표) into a monster. The guy actually seems like a really good guy and tried to live his life right. I think the deaths that he caused were not on purpose. Bi Ryeom is honestly terrible and the fact that he keeps provoking Shin Daepyo is not justified (unless he really did something terrible.) Other than that I actually really enjoy this drama.

Madeleine Aug 08 2017 7:56 pm At first the meandering moody quality of this drama had some charm. But now it is just plain boring. The story is given to us in a half assed way. Little tiny drips but always incomplete. It is the 12th episode and the major questions have all be unanswered or answered in such a way as to make things obscure. The moping and lovey dove stuff is just dragged out, too much, too many romantic montages and flash backs. No meat and potatoes. Thew writers to a really interesting premise and gave us a mixed up mess of show with lots of trails going nowhere.

harysca Aug 08 2017 5:30 pm Am LOVING this drama, great cast and it keeps me anxious every week waiting for the new episode, but Habaek as a water God, why isn't he getting his powers? I'd really like to see him with his amazing powers and not only when he is saving the girl,but I LOVE IT,!

mrssong Aug 08 2017 5:01 pm @Cra just because you don't like the actress you want the show to be ended..how pathetic! since you think you are good enough why don't you replace her!

I am not a fan of SSK but criticizing her because you don't like her is absurd! She was chosen on the role for they think that she is suitable to portray the character and please don't hate her because some of the people like LSK for NJH..that is another story! And also for those comparing this drama to original story in manhwa..please stop!

lil Aug 08 2017 12:50 pm I think this drama is okay but when it comes to god part its meh bcs its obvly weird .the actress is not expressionless its just she shows the role. Probably the character in the original story is like that. Besides, she had her own problems . You cant blame just bcs her acting is like that.

Lorie Pennywell Aug 08 2017 11:56 am I found drama interesting from the beginning. True, the pace is slower than most fast pace dramas, but I like how the story unfolds. At the end of the episodes I want to know more about the story and understand what is not obvious. Give it the chance to develop.

Cra Aug 08 2017 10:45 am I stop watching it from ep 4 don't like the lead actress. Please end this series already and low ratings??

Sapphire Aug 08 2017 6:46 am I think it would be better if these overly dramatic commentators here try to read the manga first. Lol. You might understand why some of the characters act like in annoying way (tho it is part of how they would portray their characters). Just always remember that every situation has a reason.

And also if you want to continue and enjoy watching this drama, drop the idea of nam joo hyuk and lee see kyung together or them being couple cause in here habaek and soo ah are the main characters. Ship the two (Shin Se Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk) tho haha

Saldiven Aug 07 2017 5:25 pm My one real complaint about this drama so far is that Bi Ryum has demonstrated zero redeeming features what so ever. I keep hoping every episode that someone beats the ever living crap out of him.

Sofia Aug 07 2017 12:58 pm I admit the pace is slow, and yes the beginning was a bit boring. However, Se-Kyung is not expressionless. You have to understand that in the story she is a lonely girl who doesn't believe in things like gods and goddesses. So-Ah is confused about everything in her life, and her acting captures that perfectly. Joo-Hyuk and the rest are perfect in showing their character's personality through acting and dialogue. Some scenes felt a bit unnecessary but overall it was funny and enjoyable. Around the middle, more complex twists are added and it becomes interesting to watch. Don't expect too much, but don't underestimate this drama either. Found the drama hilarious and really cute!

Kel Aug 07 2017 9:35 am Something wrong with this drama. A God bullying and calling someone monster just because they are born half God. Seriously sending wrong message here.

anne Aug 07 2017 7:22 am The drama does not interest me but because the pace is slow and each episode uncovers something about the whole unknown (so far) plot, I could not drop it.

stacey Aug 07 2017 6:53 am Who wrote this drama? extremely boring. There's nothing wrong with the actors,its just that the storyline is wack...God. Episode 8 and the story is this dull.

S5 Aug 07 2017 4:38 am Worst drama of the decade goes to bride of the water god Best senseless, expression less actress goes to shin se kyung The worst pairing with zero chemistry goes to bowg pair They ruined the concept of god.They should have shown habeak as a chebol why the hell was he a god. He just acts like a spoiled rich kid.If truly there was a brainless god like him i wonder whether the world would ecist till now I really want to give an award to those who like this drama but can't figure it out yet any ideas plz

kdrama lover Aug 07 2017 4:07 am Ahhhh.... I'm not saying this story is the best plot I've ever seen but... something about it just does it for me- in a really good way. Ugh, I just can't get over Nam Joo Hyuk's acting!!! And I'm in love with the tension btw the two male leads. Maybe it's overdramatized I don't know- but I can't get enough of it! I think each episode just keeps getting better... and right now, I can't wait for episode 11 to come out...

This is painful... but I need to learn how to be patient :( Their chemistry is undeniably tho.. Great drama, I would say!

A Aug 06 2017 9:46 pm Still wonder how great the power of habaek

uckezzy Aug 06 2017 1:45 pm I dont see anything wrong with this drama...i love this drama,Its quite funny and has a lot of fantasy

Shinly Aug 06 2017 11:18 am What's with all the comments about the lead and the female lead's acting. Can't you see that the script is the problem itself? The plot is extremely good, superb to be exact. If I were the man I would act like I don't care and as apathetic as I may be since it's what I think I should do based on my dialogues. In the first place, he's a God so he must suppress any feelings for it's forbidden and take note he's a narcissistic-selfish and full of himself bastard. I don't know but I guess they're doing just fine. The girl in the drama had a dark past and so does the guy when it comes on betrayal so both of them try as hard as they can to not show emotions since they wanted to hide it. Don't hate me for it but I suggest that before you all go crazy about it? Open your eyes wide and understand the dialogues? If you see what I'm talking about then you're great. I don't know who's to blame but I know it's not the leading casts. All they did was to act on how they should as how they interpret their script. Also about the chemistry thing? Forget about everything and focus between the two maybe you would realize that their chemistry is also good. Come on guys, what's wrong with you watching your favorite actor having a different female lead, that was ridiculous. The problem is that you're full of negativity and you refuse to see what's good in it. Again don't hate me, it's just my opinion.

Un modeste admirateur Aug 05 2017 4:48 pm The main character should be the Stone God, instead of the Water God, because he shows as much feelings as a stone or as a rock. How can he stay for days in a row besides Shin Se-Kyung without giving her one lascive look or having one erection? It's just beyond me. If he weren't immortal, he could die of prostate cancer, I am sure. Needless to say that I am very frustrated by this drama, because of the wasted potential. Not sure what's the cause: I don't want to blame the actor entirely. It seems like the script itself doesn't make enough space for emotions.

ais Aug 05 2017 4:19 pm The only reason that i still continue watching this drama is to knowing Ceo Shin backstory and imagining his happy ending with a girl that accept him for what he is and help him beat that monster side of him. Cuz i somehow sense a bad and sad ending for this guy.......

another meh Aug 05 2017 12:04 pm I was excited when it started airing since it is a supposedly hit comic and fantasy at that. But this, I have to say shall stay as a mediocre when it has all the potential to be 'Daebak' and why? yeah because mediocre acting or worse.. Plot wise its splendid. I haven't read the comic so I cant compare. Maybe NJH and SSK are beauties and eye candies but acting wise such a let down. Lim ju hwan , thanks for saving the show. I was apprehensive after he missed a mark at 1 scene but that's it, he is doing great. Screentime with just these two if not for other cast, would have made the show a big failure. I'l just have to agree with some commented below that they are practicing the acts here rather than acting. Well said!!. Kissing is universal language which needs no acting?? Have you ever seen emotions of a person when they kiss their baby , their spouse, their siblings ? Yeah they are a myriad of it. But these 2 leads everything they do to introduce chemistry is going haywire. Both of them. They are good at delivering very little range of emotions. Yes, I am going to watch the show because the plot is still good enough to cover these negativity.

coal Aug 05 2017 10:36 am I really wanted to enjoy this drama but after watching 5 episodes I just couldn't go on, the pace was so slow and only sped up at the end of the each episode but not continuing on in the next episode.....ugh...and the plot seemed so interesting

Zoree Aug 05 2017 8:01 am love Lim ju hwan

zoey Aug 05 2017 7:58 am ha..I don't find it boring...I just LOVE this drama. If you don't know the meaning then watch twice or thrice or until you know the meaning, furthermore the drama has not yet ended to know every single meaning..

Zelda Aug 05 2017 2:10 am I love this drama.

jil Aug 04 2017 7:14 am I'm sorry but Nam Joo-Hyuk and Shin Se-Kyung has no chemistry at all! Shin Se-Kyung is acting lousy. She's so boring. She needs more training when it comes to acting. I find it hard to differentiate her emotions.

I'm a fan of Nam Joo-Hyuk but this K-drama seems to go nowhere. I can't understand where the story goes anymore. I just hope the story will improve in the next episode.

hei Aug 04 2017 6:50 am very disappointing. waste of time really :( so sad, because I love NJH, but I can't stand his stiff acting anymore.

Theo Aug 04 2017 4:07 am If u don't like it and hate it.. So, stop watching.. Simple hah...

Me?.... Love..love...love....this drama... Bride of the water God... Daebak...

Kdramafan Aug 04 2017 3:29 am Waste drama sooo boring sense less plot, I think the leads are just practicing acting instead of acting really, forced romance, no chemistry between leads, senseless leads kind hearted villain what the hell...

yawn Aug 04 2017 1:28 am most people will probably forget about this drama after it's done airing lol honestly there's nothing special or memorable about BOTWG

SkyPirate Aug 03 2017 9:25 pm @emma, contract cooling off period, what do you mean? actually, Soah is toasted there, she signed the contract and put her stamp, Ceo Shin had a choice to make her life a living hell for breaking a contract, but instead Ceo just make arrangements to get closer to her. sometimes Im thinking, Soah would be a repeat of Habaek's first love, its just reasonable if she ends up with Ceo Shin just like how Habaek's first love end up with a King on earth. a god and mortal love is just complicated isnt it. but let's see how the dramagods will play with this.

SkyPirate Aug 03 2017 9:15 pm @indai, yes we can only guess and speculate, as this drama was intended for suspense. maybe Soah jumped hoping she could follow Habaek in his water kingdom. there's still many questions that need answers, like: what happened to Soah's father, what's all about that curse on her family; what really happened to Habaek's first love, are gods not allowed to fall in love with mortals; what's the deal with Moora & Biryeom, they seem guilty and were involved in some past events; why is Biryeom so hateful of Ceo Shin, why Ceo Shin got the mark of Joo dong on his chest, etc,etc. let's get ready for some big reveals on next episodes.

Emma George Aug 03 2017 9:27 am Well, everyone entitled to their opinion. I so agree with Inspiritly.

So-A has too many issues with her father and traumatise. With his disappearance and exactly what's the crime her ancestor had committed to offend the God remain a mystery. To be God's servant is a form of punishment for her being the descendant.
She believes the unbelievable, Gods... She is surrounded and at times bullied by Gods and also by that Ja-Ya character. If she is not a Psychiatrist and so nonchalantly sane, she would have cracked and lose her insanity many times over.
She's also in financial turmoil. Lim J-H acting as a nice guy, requests her to pay penalty with a variety her services, his Psychiatric treatments and working in his farm/garden for her breaking the Contract for the sale of her land.
What I couldn't understand is, the Contract should have a cooling off period and that she should not be liable. And again I do not know Korean law or she's being fooled by Lim,
She is loaded with problem after problem and work after work. She's dealing with it, one by one. She's one tough cookie. Have to take my hat off for her character.
Habaek is God and she falls for him. He's trying so hard to suppress his feeling for her because she supposedly his servant and a human. What classification!
They both know they will soon part because he is going back. The kissing and the love scenes must have a certain amount of awkwardness and unassertiveness. They can't be lovey-dovey and passionate.
May be in future, as the drama progresses, time will tell.
They are fighting with their emotions and facing reality. This is why he kept telling her he's leaving and she's trying so hard not to love someone that's out of reach and also leaving.
Of course the acting is the way how they both should act. There's no otherwise. This is why it's so convincing that people couldn't help keep bashing and criticizing them, try picking faults and flaws.
Habaek is a God and knows nothing of the human world and he's learning every second of the day so he has to be doubtful and a bit expressionless. Love the LEADS, fabulous acting.
The other two characters Bi Ryum and Ja-Ya are so successful because people hate their guts.
Lim is scary as half human and yet try to be good and decent.
Fun Drama, Great Acting, Great Directions! Thumbs Up to ALL! Congrats guys!!! Great Entertainment :)

.

S4 Aug 03 2017 8:00 am Bride of water god=senseless,selfish gods+annoying heroine+zero chemistry between the leads. We had enough of this pls stop telecasting this drama

Indai Aug 03 2017 2:38 am It may be the absence of the chemistry between the two lead actors, but the drama is worth watching for. You'll love it especially fantasy lovers out there!!

I just don't get it when the high priest said that the descendant/servant/Yoon So-Ah will die before Habaek becomes the King of the realms. Then, how come she's the bride of the water god??:) But of course, all I/we need to do is wait....'til the end. :D We'll never know if Habaek saves her before he returned to water country. If he did, why did Yoon So-Ah jumped in the river before she throws the rose? (shown in first episode) Didn't they part ways in good term? So many questions...anyway, we'll patiently wait ^^

Mika Aug 02 2017 9:58 pm Bi Ryum probably hates the CEO because they're half brothers (I'm guessing). Maybe Bi Ryums father slept with a human and had the CEO.

Guiltypleasure Aug 02 2017 8:38 pm Bi Ryum so disgusting. I want him die !!!

MsPeregrine Aug 02 2017 8:23 pm I hope Im Joo Hwan will also work with Yoon Eun Hye in drama. Im a fan of Joe Cheng too, and you have little resemblance to him, though more mature as an actor. Im pretty sure you'll have great chemistry with Miss Yoon Eun Hye. though, Im first a fan of handsome Nam Joo Hyuk when I started watching this drama. Thanks to him I saw you on screen. Nonetheless, I love this drama Bride of Habaek, aja aja fighting!

MsPeregrine Aug 02 2017 8:17 pm I cant believe this! Even the kissing scene, some are discontent and complaining abt chemistry of the leads, wtf, do you even need acting in kissing lips when its a universal language of love understood by everyone on the planet, coupled with beautiful leads you see on screen, ahh you must be aliens. I think, and I suspect most of the haters are shippers of other actors or actresses, just wait for your turn, K entertainment world is small, these leads will eventually work with other actors and actresses, so no need to hate them for your personal biases okey, grow up!

Nux Aug 02 2017 6:35 pm I watch for Song Won-Geun, his character is cool. Actually I watch for all of them, they're all great actors and doing a good job. I don't think Shin Se-Kyung acts awkward due to her lack of acting skills, I believe it is cause her character is sad about being rejected by her parents and she fears giving her heart out just in case it happens again. I think she's doing a good job of acting her character. She can't be all super confident with issues can she?

caisy Aug 02 2017 8:01 am next time shin se kyung can try pair with lee min ho or ji chang wook i will exactly watch but please act with yoo ah in again.

Abyss Aug 02 2017 7:56 am The on-screen couple's chemistry is not doing it for me. I just watch it because of Krystal and Lim Jun Hwan. Shin Se Kyung's acting skills are just off she looks so awkward in every scene with Joo Hyuk doesn't really give off that romantic vibe. I just wish it was a different actress though I'm not hating on her but it seems like someone else could've done a better job, y'know. Even the kissing scene was bad. Girl, you need kissing lessons.

Panda Aug 02 2017 7:54 am I exhausted for an episode of a drama like this, l really love this drama, it makes me so emotional. Love their chemistry.

please be happy ending

caisy Aug 02 2017 7:49 am next time can choose park hae jin and shin se kyung act together

whynot Aug 02 2017 7:33 am I cannot understand why some people are angry whenever a negative comment is posted. Reading the comments helps me decide whether a drama is worth watching or not (among other factors of course). Further more, those who dislike a drama or an actor have the same rights to express their opinions as those who like it. Criticism is good for improvement.

Tara Aug 02 2017 2:46 am Out of all the actors, I would say Lim Ju-Hwan's the best, and his character is developing well too. I like him a lot and wish he was the main character, but obviously then the show wouldn't be called The Bride of the Water God, haha. The main leads are disappointing, but I've continued watching mainly because it's a fantasy based drama. Also, Krystal is super pretty in this show, and suits the role of a goddess, despite her acting being just decent.

Yooginn Aug 01 2017 11:27 pm shin sekyung is not the first choice for the lead girl, tho.. Thats all i can say.. K bye.. ?????

Yanchu Aug 01 2017 10:21 pm I saw first episode n stopped n then binge watched it till episode 9.i couldn't watch it as I was busy with Chinese drama princess agents which ended terrible yesterday. I liked hoo ye, his character shows lots of variety. Then till now I m not much impressed by the extra two couples. I m watching it for hoo ye, wanna see how his character develops.

Bon Aug 01 2017 1:49 pm Just finished watching ep 9, and I felt disappointed. Chemistry was completely off. Just off. Awkward. It seems they're doing rehearsal for the role instead of "doing" it.

jecka020 Aug 01 2017 11:37 am im really obsessed in this kdrama, because of Nam Joo-Hyuk.. ❤

Angie Aug 01 2017 1:23 am I don't get all the hate? I loveee the drama so far and think the writing is so funny! It's different and amusing! I say if you're a hater, move on and find another drama and stop with the negativity! I'm loving the cast, writing and can't wait to see the next episode!!!

gzb Jul 31 2017 10:20 pm TBH I dont like Yoon So Ah's character it's not strong enough to be called the main lead. I'm easily annoyed at her when she whines. Sorry to say but Shin Se Kyung has poor acting skills in this drama. I'm just watching this for the sake of Nam Joo Hyuk and Krystal. Moo Ra's character should've become the main lead, she's truly a goddess! She can totally give justice to her character eventho she is not the female lead. All in all, swag couple is still the best! Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk forever <3

simplygreen Jul 31 2017 3:10 am Even though I am NOT expert when it comes to seeing a good actress or actors, I must say that they will not be chosen to be the cast of this drama if they are not good or they can’t portray properly the character well. We shouldn’t judge their acting skills or compare them to other actors and actresses… why can’t we just watch and enjoy this drama anyway? If you’ll appreciate it, you’ll love it. If you don’t like the story plot, then don’t waste your time watching! Simple as it is, right?

Ppap Jul 30 2017 7:35 am It's the best kdrama I have watched. I love everyone in this drama. I hope my story will be like this too. I can't wait for the episodes. Sarangheyo.

AJ Jul 29 2017 6:40 pm The drama's definitely thrilling for me. I was able to read its 'manga' before totally watching the drama. I love the way Habaek's personality is adapted in the drama itself, and even the other casts were totally great in portraying them(Yoon So-A, Moo Ra, Bi Ryeom). I always feel as if each episode is 'hanging' and that the next episode would supply that completeness of it just to make the whole episode's story sensible. Right now, I am really just looking forward to watching the next few episodes of it! I hope it would be one of the greatest drama this year! Kudos to the team!!!

clara Jul 28 2017 8:02 am Not hating on the actress but to be honest ja ya's character is super annoying and i think waste of screen time!! they should be giving more screen time to Moora and Biryeom instead rather than wasting it on unnecessary scenes. And for the record i didnt like the first two episodes because i feel like they were dragging it too much. I was trying very hard not to compare it to Goblin which had equal screen time for lead actors (2 love lines).. Anyways i like it now, you should give it a try,, it's not so bad.. the story was really slow at first but after episode 3, it made sense. Moora is truly a goddess.

yawn Jul 27 2017 11:31 pm Shin Ja Ya is annoying and a waste of screen time, all she does is whine and scream at people lmao what's the point of her character anyway?

Pleasantville Jul 27 2017 9:35 am I still dont get what the hates are all about, when this drama isnt done yet, its on-going and have yet to cross half its span. This drama is actually very fun to watch and have interesting storyline. I love how they presented the realm of gods, the Water kingdom; Nam Joo Hyuk is perfect for the Water god costume, he is so pretty, awesome! I believe all the actors are doing fine, I like all of them, eventhough I began as Nam Joo Hyuk junkie, but I came to like all the actors as well. Shin Se Kyung is pretty cute, funny and can be irritating coz of her character, her work fashion style is fab. Krystal and Gong Myung, they're good playing gods as well, the snobby goddess Moora and the immature sky god Biryeom. Even the mysterious CEO Shin, he's a sinister character, cant wait he show his true color. All the supporting casts, they're all funny, Nam Soori, the bratty Shin, CEO Sec, Shin grandpop, also the minor gods Mafia gang. there's just too many memorable scenes here, like: everytime Habaek saves So Ah, Habaek's human experiences, etc,etc. the soundtracks, ahh I dont think I'll easily get over this drama even after its done. I hope our local tv networks gets this drama asap, then have it subbed in local, coz its sometimes hard reading eng subs, when you just want to see everything on the screen, most esp the beautiful actors. The Bride of Habaek, unexpectedly delightful!

ikumsi Jul 27 2017 9:14 am i like this drama, it creates a mixed feeling of sad, happy, cute moment. Maybe it just need to add more lovey dovey scenes that usually creates a chemistry more.For me this drama is amazing and good quality. The actors are good. but i think everyone has different opinion

Love Don't Hate Jul 27 2017 7:44 am I'm a fan of Lim Ju-Hwan for a long time and recently of Nam Joo Hyuk. LJH is so good to look at and I love the characters he portrayed in his previous dramas. I hope in his next project, LJH gets to play the lead role in a romance or melodrama. Let the leading actress be Kim Ji-Won! I enjoy watching this drama without trying to be prejudice against an actor or actress. I'm not an expert at acting or directing and have never done either. Let's just enjoy Habaek each week. If you think it's not a good drama then switch to another channel! ?

S4 Jul 27 2017 6:10 am The lead pair has worst chemistry. I think the drama would have been 100 times better if they had eliminated heroine character totally .Both the hero and heroine are very bad at acting.The heroine character does not make any sense,she keeps on mubling same line, all her scenes are repitative.Hero has forgotten that he was a water god i think he has lost his brain along with his powers.There is no story line the director is trying hard to recrate the same boring romatic scenes and all this looks like a forced romance.

aime Jul 27 2017 4:08 am I haven't watch all episode and stop reading the manhwa very long time ago~ can someone summarize what is their power~ and why hoo ye has fire power not joo dong?

waterfireflies Jul 27 2017 1:11 am Anyone who feel dissapointed that this drama is totally different than the manhwa, should be aware that this drama is a SPIN-OFF and not an adaptation. So, it would be totally different than the manhwa. The directors and writers had informed very much earlier that they won't follow the manhwa and will only take the essence of it. SPIN-OFF is totally different than adaptation. So there is no reason to be dissapointed after watching the show because they had told us about this earlier when they start this project. Forget the manhwa, and just treat this show as a new show.

Guiltypleasure Jul 26 2017 11:50 pm Shin se kyung and park min young are famous beautiful actress' who has NO great skill in acting. Their drama success just when the story line good. If not, they'll not helpful.

Lee bo young, gong hyo jin, jang nara , ha ji won... they're just the true actress

moonbloom Jul 26 2017 11:00 pm TBH if you who have read the manga, would feel... dissappointed? Because the drama really different the original storyline. I'm prefer the manga, because i read the manga first. And waiting for the new chapter. When i heard it will take into drama i'm really excited, bcs i'll see visual of Mui in real. And soo ah too. When NJH had been potray as Habaek, i have no idea hahaa maybe i'd like if Ji chang wook or Park haejin take overthe cast hehee im just a fans of those two. The drama isnt bad, i love krystal who played as Moora. Shes beautiful and act so well. I just like how shes dialog so naturally. Everytime shes called Habaek, specially.

I'll just watch it to the end and enjoying the show ??

voldemort Jul 26 2017 8:54 pm I believe that the big storyline is actually pretty interesting. The Among-The-God Story and God-Human Relationship story is probably interesting. But I should admit that the writer makes the progress too slow that ends up in we have to see the same reaction over and over again (Yoon So Ah crying bcs of her life, her inability in cooking, slow progress for the God story, etc). I mean..Somehow Yoon So Ah should survive as a human..so the character should have developed somehow. And Habaek should be a King so a proper searching of the God stone is important too. but somehow the story is a lil bit imbalance these 8 eps. I didn't even ask her to be a heroine but I can't really stand the slow progress of the plot.

But I can see that probably we will see a good plot and pace in the further eps tho. I hope it is just the beginning that has slow-pace. I am still going to watch this because I want to know how the storyline will bring Habaek to eventually become a King..and what will happen to Yoon So Ah

Dramalovers Jul 26 2017 5:29 pm The leads are perfect for me! I'm new fan of Shin sekyung , unnie fighting .. love you.. Nam Joo hyuk and Shin sekyung... ps: don't care about haters

Kdrama-lovers Jul 26 2017 5:26 pm The lead couples are so handsome and beautiful! I'm new fan of Shin are Kyung, fighting Unnie ..Love you, and don't care about haters..

Kit_exol Jul 26 2017 5:24 pm I love the chemistry between SSK and NJH ????? She is so pretty and can act well ,I've watched her dramas such as Sensory couple and Six flying dragons.. fighting , BOTWG ???

Inspiritly Jul 26 2017 1:37 pm Honestly, this drama isn't hard to understand. I don't get what the problem is. I think Shin Se Kyung's acting is realistic. She's human; she is afraid, selfish, stoic, and cautious. People think that she should be more hero-like, rather than the damsel in distress. But the thing is, she is realistic. I highly doubt 90% of the people bashing Se Kyung's character would even be as tough as she is right now. I mean, she is dealing with gods. And mind you, culture differences play a HUGE part in a how a person deals with things. I'm pretty sure the majority of the people here aren't even Korean or are aware of the customs set in South Korea. Dramas aren't meant to be something you imagine to be a certain way. I've seen countless people watch dramas who question the role of the leading actress, criticizing her but always praising the leading actor just because he's cute. People need to stop being biased and grow up.

Meh Jul 26 2017 3:49 am Im just wathing this drama because of the supporting casts and joo hyuk, i dont like the acting of the lead actress. She's becoming annoying tbh, she always cries and always has a problem. There's just no chemistry with joo hyuk and her.

bh Jul 26 2017 12:44 am I anticipated this drama before its release and I was super excited about it. The 1st and 2nd episodes weren't as good as I expected. They're not bad but they're alright. I was expecting more in this drama but so far it hasn't reached my expectations. After the first 2 eps I still gave it a chance. So far the drama is.... meh. Its pretty much undecided for me. There are some scenes that are boring and some things/events are left unexplained by the characters. It would be nice they explained some of the things more briefly. Like what exactly are the roles of Moo Ra and Bi Ryeom? I know they're gods but what makes them different from Habaek? Their roles weren't explained clearly and now there's a new "god"? Mr. Shin suddenly came in to the picture and they suddenly assumed he is a god. Now I'll have to look forward on what his "powers" and role is. And also Yoon So Ah's land is what everyone's talking about. What's with it anyway? Dramas like these needs to make scenes where things are briefly explained in order for us to cope up. And also, I have a problem with the roles of the cast. I love the cast. I think Shin Se Kyung is an amazing actress but why did the director make her role look so useless? She either just cries or get in trouble in every single episode. And Habaek is always there. Isn't this just too cliche? It looks like a typical romance film/drama and they just added fantasy in it. Such a waste. Really loved the plot and all. But the PD could have made Shin Se Kyung's role a bit better.

Ok Jul 25 2017 11:12 pm TBH I thought I'll be okay with ssk acting and character as it continue(I don't like her as an actress if I wanna be honest, She's in my black list that's why it's really a torture to watch-watching only for other casts-) but I keep getting more annoyed and annoyed and annoyed. I understand her character tends to be like that but it just makes you hate her more and see everything as if she acts bad. I hope there will be a day that I can anticipate her next project instead biting my nails and screaming that why I have to see her while watching a good drama (same thing happened for most of her previous projects, I really loved them bc of other casts but gave up at the middle bc I couldn't stand her.. it's a shame if I leave this off too). Plz spell me so I can love her as an actress

kartokali Jul 25 2017 9:13 pm shin se kyung is so pretty.. love this drama ..love her.. she is an amazing actress. nam joo hyuk is also too cute. who said she can't act? shin se kyung is so good in acting that when she cries we cry too n when she laughs we laugh too... she just touches our hearts. her shyness just mesmerise me. can't wait for the next ep...

forsythia Jul 25 2017 8:33 pm That little girl with hu ye form ep 7 is the same little girl at the opening scene of ep 1 telling the backbone of the god's realm *goosebumps*. i thought she was just a cameo to start the show. looks like she had an important role here.

Keytie Jul 25 2017 12:50 pm So far so good. Love the storyline and good thing that their chemistry is building up. Enjoyed watching this drama because of Nam Joo Hyuk.

xx Jul 25 2017 6:52 am Stop! If you dont like her, just dont watch this drama. This hate towards SSK, I just cant understand it. All this negativity. Bride of Water God is amazing drama and lets appreciate it.

DonMorales Jul 24 2017 8:55 pm noeydc, SSK is a bad actress??? you've got to be kidding me right..? ?

Blue Speir Jul 24 2017 12:55 pm Could you link the name who played the greedy god (minor role) in the drama? I'm really interested with him. The way he acts is really vexing but funny at the same time. He was able to portray a greedy and a sly character which makes the drama fun (Just like adding spices to food). I hope you guys add all the minor character as well~

Sabina Jul 24 2017 10:13 am I wait like crazy for monday and Tuesday so i xan watch this drama.. love love this drama.. habaek...???

noeydc Jul 24 2017 7:38 am I like Nam joo hyuk. I like the story. But SSK is bad actress. No expression..no chemistry. PD nim why you not choose Han Hyo Joo as lead actress?

sheila Jul 23 2017 9:26 am Try to keep watching this drama because of nam joo hyuk and im ju hwan..lol

kare_bear Jul 23 2017 9:25 am At first I was hesitant to watch this K drama but after watching it, I'm addicted to the storyline and the romance story between So-Ah and the Water God. I just wish since it's approaching Ep 7 that the writers would disclosed a bit more history on why So-Ah's family have to serve the God for life. They touched on it briefly but it wasn't in depth. There's too many stories & plots going on. Although I can't wait for the Water God & So-Ah to admit their love for one another. We know that the Water God fell in love with the human in the past but that human related to So-Ah descendants or part of Shin family because there is a Demi-God.

josh Jul 23 2017 3:41 am love @ first 5 mins of the drama & now, I'm totally into it. Nam Joo- Hyuk is one of my fave korean actor.

Shaina Lyca Sam Jul 22 2017 11:55 am It suits him to be the water god because Nam Joo-Hyuk is really handsome! I can't wait to watch episode 7!! I hope that "Bride of the Water God" will never end. That they will have a long, long, long story or episodes to tell! I love you Nam Joo-Hyuk! I hope one day, I could see and talk to you in person!!!

N Jul 21 2017 3:00 am i'm glad they do not follow the original plot from manhwa, because if they do so, we would already guess what will happen next episode and that makes us less anticipating. really a GREAT drama. kept me waiting for every new episode.

Rin Yun ki Jul 20 2017 11:09 pm I can't believe the amount of faints, but watching for Lim Ju Hwan anyway. :-)

Melis Jul 20 2017 5:19 am I love this show, cant wait for episode 7-8! However, I think her dad took the stones and fled.. ?

Trecia Ysabell Vitualla Jul 20 2017 3:16 am Can't wait to watch the Ep.7????❤❤

Eun-ju Jul 19 2017 9:45 pm I really love BOTWG!! The story is refreshing and it's fun to watch. NJH is driving me insane and I can't wait to watch the next episode!! Kyaaahhh~~~

Lee Eng Jul 19 2017 2:07 pm Love the chemistry between the two main leads. Nam Joo Hyuk is charming and acts well. He has a bright future ahead of him.

Dori Jul 19 2017 6:53 am @richard rodriguez i guess Hoo Ye is the third stone keeper. This character is also a god. So far i know.

Reyna Jul 19 2017 4:27 am @forysythia and @richard Rodriguez Judong is the god of fire.

lihini Jul 19 2017 3:14 am Look like interesting. Mm let's try to watch.

wandering stranger Jul 19 2017 12:43 am @Pondering stranger

Mura, in the manhwa(at least), isn't more so clingy than she is very..invested into Habaek. If you do end up reading the manhwa(as I'm only about 63 chapters in). you would realize that the show is portraying her kinder than she is in the manhwa(or that's what I think. I'm not very fond of Mura in the manhwa).

Of course, the show is only based upon the manhwa and is placed within modern times(which the manhwa isn't), but the characters seem to be accurately influenced. I don't think the doctor is more so weak than she is shaken, and she is actually taking much of the situations she's in like the manhwa character she is based on. She's taking more of an observant, less hands-on reaction to everything.

forsythia Jul 18 2017 8:54 pm @richard rodriguez he is call joo dong..the god of land..but so far he had not been shown in this drama. not sure whether the other 3 gods know his face. his identity is still a mystery

Ayla Jul 18 2017 8:49 pm I really enjoy the whole entirety of the drama. However, it does feel a little bit slow. I wished that there would be more progress in the storyline in the future. It jest feels like the few episodes have been repetitive. But overall I'm looking forward to the next episodes!

richard rodriguez Jul 18 2017 8:14 pm Just like to know? Who is the third guardian of the stone?

Korean Drama Lovers Jul 18 2017 11:24 am i do seriously trully love this drama soooo much! the story is unpredictable and keep makin' me want to watch moreee and moore. anyway both main characters acting was not that bad. Nam Jo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung acting are good too! their chemistry drive me insane! kkkk good luck for you guys! xoxo

kpopfun Jul 18 2017 9:13 am This korean series is intriguing. Keeps thinking what will happen next, i think this is one of the best dramas of the 2017. The main characters are indeed good. So dont bash, just enjoy watching. If u dont like to watch them, leave them alone. Its not giving out bad comments trying to give other story concepts or pairing others, its the idea of the whole drama.

Koreans really have talented artists, and also, its a good thing they know how to develop their talents so much of acting. They do not stick to those that are known or best artists but develop the new or young ones too.. Thats why most of koreans do not just act, but also are good in dancing and singing-a real talents!wow!

Dheags Jul 18 2017 4:12 am This drama make my everyday always love water. and everytime i have problem i wish Habaek could help me and stay by my side :). Hello from Indonesia

Pondering stranger Jul 18 2017 1:25 am I think this drama has a potetial to succeed for international viewers, I don't see reasons why people bashed shin she kyuk, I've her other drama like six flying dragon, tree deep root and the girl who see smells and she is good, as for Nam Jo hyuk well he is quiete good considering he is a junior and blessed because he got a lead role, I noticed him in SHR as baekha, I like him there I think he has a lot of room for improvement

For his role on this drama I give him 7/10 so far coz I'm done with ep 5 and waiting for more of this drama I think the actor has nothing to do with it he portrayed his character well they just follow their character in according to the script but hopefully the director PD and writer would stop portraying the doctor as a weak one, they have to realized that viewers loves a strong but weak women.

There are great kdrama with NR or low rating but was able to enter the international market because of the story line not because of the good looking actors and actress.

Right now I am anticipating more intense scenes from all the character and fast moving facade of this drama I love crystal too its been so long since I've seen her and hopefully the writer won't make her a foolish goodness because there is no gods like that.

Aside from queen for seven days ( though its NR) Bride of the Water God is already on my list

But hoping that they could give us a lot of mystery suspense action on this

Please don't make doctor a weak one, who always needs to be save and don't make moora a foolish clingy childish brat god because there no such thing like that for gods..

I am just basing my comments about gods about the mythology of Poseidon Venus Zeus and other gods.

Writer wake up please you must based your story on these gods besides habeak is a water god which is Poseidon in my own opinion

Fighting to all

From Philippines

Bouchra siroua Jul 18 2017 12:45 am Why is she always facing danger?? It's becoming boring at this rate

Bon Jul 18 2017 12:41 am Both main leads are good in acting. Not great, great but descent, considering they're not that senior in movie industry. I just hope the director isn't going to make the girl doctor annoying, pathetic and clingy. We've seen too much of that characters already.

Reyna Jul 17 2017 11:55 pm I have this show a try and it's not as bad as people say it is. I feel like it has an interesting concept and could become a quality show if they keep the way things are. Even though some parts are kind of cringe worthy and I'm sick and tired of Soah's screaming and crying. Shin sekyung's not as bad as an actress as before but still meh. I also wasn't expecting Biryeom to be so..sadistic? I'm only on episode 5 but if they keep making Sekyung cry and whimper and scream all the time I'm dropping it. And it's such a shame they made Moora's character into some scaredy cat snobby actress. Sigh. Times like this make me wish that they would've just followed the original storyline. And where is Judong and Yohee? I hope Yohee turns out to be Yeom mi.

Itag Zaelani Jul 17 2017 9:41 pm i like this drama. whatever with the comment before it shows. i like the looks of krystal and how funny SSK. i hope this drama will get high rating for next episode. Bride of The Water God. . . FIGHTIIIIIIIINNNGGG!!!!!!

Opiqshuhaj Jul 17 2017 7:55 pm I feel Nam jo hyuk act like lee jong suk. Its not bad thing but sometimes make my mind thinking lee jong suk haha. I love the story its so interesting and think funny romatic. Overall so far this drama is fine. I can feel this drama will get high rating.

lucy Jul 17 2017 6:58 pm i reallllllly like this show. i was skeptical at first but OMFG its so amazing and entertaining. looking forward to more episodes and interesting performances from the cast and hopefully more positive reviews/ratings.

BotWG fighting!!!!!!!

Dori Jul 17 2017 5:12 pm I don't get it...why are you hating SSK so much? Her acting is bad? I enjoy watching her. She is beauty and she is talented. I know i know...everyone has it's own taste. When i think of bad acting there is only one name that comes to my mind...park shin hye...her acting is always the same. What i don't like is that you can see that she is just acting. It doesn't feel natural. And OMG the kissing scenes...and everyone is loving her so so much. I don't get it but like i said...everyone got it's own taste so PLS stop complaining. Watch it or leave...

Kim Jul 17 2017 12:38 pm When i read the manga now i really understand that Se Kyung did a very good job in this drama. I just watch this drama because Se Kyung only. Why ? She has quality , every drama with her lead role always become big success. And i really glad its doesnt matter if u think she dont match the lead because she already receaving so much love from korean fans ~ Include me ofc. Sekyung is bae. Sekyung is the best actress with a lot of awards ❤

Polo Jul 17 2017 11:14 am Nam joo hyuk's acting is not that good at all he got famous cuz of his pairing with lee sung kyung that's all his acting is little down

Geraldine Jul 17 2017 8:09 am I'l make it short & simple. I love the story line, the whole cast & everything. There maybe hates especially with the female lead...just because they love Nam Joo Hyuk's girlfriend which is totally unreasonable. But we are also here who are waiting every episodes with excitement, so cheer up guys. "Bride of the Water God" fighting!

Candy Jul 17 2017 2:27 am Really Love it..Bride Of The Water God...Fighting.... Can't wait for tonight... ^_^

Nathalie Jul 16 2017 6:51 pm I watched till episode 4 without reading the comments first bc i already saw the article about it in Korea and i kinda agree to them. It's not very good. The ratings is low tho, now i know why. It's not so great, it's just fine... just fine.

Ary Jul 16 2017 5:29 pm Kinda boring. The lead actress not good at all. Njh i think he's not inthere for the role.

peace Jul 16 2017 9:57 am honestly..the way SSK dance and sing in karaoke room.. its like how kim bok joo sing and dance.. or maybe its just me..or..nvm..

KSHnJJHForever Jul 15 2017 11:56 am i wasnt really excited abt the drama.. As ssk was d lead actress, but have to say she broke my beliefs. She is a fine actress. I kinda feel her role. Njh is just superb as water god. The posture n the fun element is evident. All the other characters r perfect yet intriguing. There is a mystery surrounding them which I kinda like it. After goblin, this is the one drama I m excited as hell. I just wanna know how servant of god will be his bride

Rhyss Ikram Jul 14 2017 11:56 pm So far so good....captivating enough. SSK acting is good....what is captivating about her are her eyes & voice. Such soothing & calming voice so different from other actresses' voices that seem to get (irritable) to your ears...haha. Bcos of this story, saw her in 'when a a man loves' & 'the girl who sees smells' she is a beautiful actress there. From scarlet heart to fairy weightlifting..Njh has the potential to become even better. Njh is trying hard i believe to make his role workable...though at times it can be a little bit stiff. Hope the story will develop to be more promising as well as carry on to be interesting till the end... fighting..

emma Jul 13 2017 8:40 pm The reason why the Water God lost his power probably is to equip him to become a better God King, through So-A's hardship and emotions and her insecurity with her childhood, rejection from Moo Ra and... The two leads have great Chemistry and very convincing due to great acting. Shin Se-Kyung never disappoint, she's one of very few Korean actresses that can really act. Congrats, the drama is very entertaining.

Hana Jul 13 2017 6:20 am Nam Joo-Hyuk was the best in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo. Had his role down great. I really enjoyed that series. But for this particular role, the arrogant water god that he is supposed to be, just isn't there.

Amy Jul 12 2017 9:01 pm Spoiler alert. Dont read unless you watch till episode 4. I dont know why many hating on this drama. All of you haters' comment frustrating to read. He lost his power and you all keep hating on that? Seriously? You watch kdrama for magical powers and actions? Kids, go watch a superhero movie if this drama dont do it enough for you. Btw, he did not lost his power for all 4 episodes. He has it in first episodes. Still have some godly learning ability all throughout the drama. It returned on episodes 3. Maybe it not exactly the same as the manga version but this is an adaptation. Not a live-series of the manga. Get over it. I can say it remind me of the anime 'Hataraku Maou-sama'. Going to human world and trying to find a way back. Plus, it is fun to see him trying to live as a normal human. Loving the romance and struggle of the female lead. Not yet having a big picture of ehat is going on but overall it is flowing nicely. Not too fast and not too slow on plot development. The amount of fanservice scene though, I give two thumbs up for that. ;-)

Habaek Jul 12 2017 8:42 pm The manga version of the Water Good looks more like Park Hae Jin though...

Krystal Jung, my girl, is nailing her character in this drama. I'm just somehow sad that they deviated from the original manga.

ddd Jul 12 2017 8:37 pm first impression "bad" i cant see the chemistry between the leads

dramaK Jul 12 2017 7:32 pm I thought this drama is adapted from manga, but its so different from the manga...

kdrama fan Jul 12 2017 6:37 pm ?????? i love the whole story.. i hope the writter will end this in a happy ending okei?! pls pls pls.. dont compare this with goblin..

Panda Jul 12 2017 9:48 am Honestly the drama has so much potential and it's not bad but what made me want to watch it is because they can use so much with him being a god and with his powers but it really seems like nothing is going on without him having powers, plus he lost the co ordinates as well so the whole purpose of him coming was just thrown out of the window. I was so excited with episode 3 because at the end his power came back and the. All of a sudden it's gone again and we're back to square 1. The plot just isn't moving because it's not focused on anything. I don't know whether the plot is for him to save her from the murderer or if it's for him to find the stones or if it has to do with the battle of the gods or what, it's actually confusing. But I want to keep watching because I'm really hoping that he will get his power back and then the storyline can continue. Because all we've watched so far is watching the future king of the gods struggle to find something to eat and just shouting about how great he supposedly is which I find annoying because we haven't even witnessed his greatness even before he lost his powers. I'm also sitting here watching the female lead struggle to look alive when she's with her mentally disabled patients and barely listening to them as well which I don't know why I am triggered by it but it's not very professional but the drama has potential it just requires patience

THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM GOBLIN Jul 12 2017 8:58 am First of all, the manhwa that the bride of the water god is adapted from was created way before goblin. The manhwa was made in the early 2000s.

Hoo-Ye is so handsome!!! I ship him with Soah so much ??? #JusticeForHooYe

JJ Jul 12 2017 5:22 am It's easy to understand!! i think this drama really interesting. Worth watching!! Don't compare it to goblin please, it is completely different. If your standard is Goblin, then you'll have to wait for next season and pray :)) lol

Bo Jul 12 2017 4:14 am I'm in love with this drama, don't mind the negative comments and comparison with other dramas. It's cute in it's own way, and chemistry between 2 leads are deepening. I'm dying waiting for next episodes. I hate ongoing dramas!!

KDramaLovers Jul 12 2017 2:19 am @mylene : totally agree with you... I also get tired to see the god cant do anything here. because, in manhwa He still can do something great (before the second curse). But, let believe them. Actually, I really watching this drama with fresh and clean mind and dont want to compare with the manhwa. since this drama is spin off and the story almost different. So, yeah I just enjoy his drama just like other drama. What I love from here is Gong Myung and Krystal really similar to their character!! I really glad the staff choose them as Bi Ryum and Moora! 'Cause I can't think someone else to play those 2 character :D

and from this drama I start to love Shin Se Kyung. I have to admit SSK fit to be Soa character. before this I dont like her character in her previous dramas. But, here, She is so beautiful and can potray Soa well :)

Tristan Jul 12 2017 1:34 am I'm not a big fan of fantasy drama & it takes a lot to catch & keep my interest but let me give a shout out to the writer, director & entire cast for a great job. After the thrillers, mystery, action dramas & movies I just watched, Bride of the God is a good break.

The beautiful and talented Shin Se Kyung whom I've missed seeing on screen in a while is rocking her role. Both leads are doing a great job, they make an adorable couple & their obvious chemistry works well. They'd make a lovely real life couple too I reckon.

I guess some viewers aren't getting the groove of the story-line so aren't enjoying this drama as much. Too bad. I don't read mangas but I think the route the writer took this drama to isn't that bad. Anyway, if you try to over analyze the plots (esp since this is fictional fantasy) you'd be wasting your time since even in myths & legends, you can't stereotype all gods to be the same, whether they're powerful or not. They're all different just like humans are different.

mylene Jul 11 2017 8:23 pm i still love this drama even if there are lots of negative comments/reviews. i just hope they fix their storyline or this drama might flop. majority of the viewers love a lead cast, especially a god, to be capable and not just a poor god who lost its power. come on, i, who really love this drama got tired of watching a poor god who cant do anything at all!!! i am just hanging because i am anticipating the love that will bloom between the god and his servant, but if they still drag that part then i may have to drop this drama. i will just read the manhwa.. first 4 episode is really not that captivating, hopefully next episodes will improve.

tewel Jul 11 2017 12:00 pm This drama is awesome

kurdish fan Jul 11 2017 6:48 am This drama is great I don't get why people are hating it obviously not as great as the original manhwa but its still a good drama. If you hate this drama then why are you even bothered to write a negative comment about the drama ... If you hate it then that's your opinion , keep it to yourself :]

PearlMilkTea Jul 10 2017 11:45 pm Why people said this is dissapointing when I think it's not bad at all esp the third episode. I starting to like this drama so much.

Habaek is love Jul 10 2017 7:56 pm @leilani i don't understand how you can't understand the storyline. it is easy to folllow. plus, the writer is truly clever. there are a lot of hidden meaning in every scenes in this drama. every scenes totally talks about their character. if you want to know more about the scenes and the behind meaning of it, you can check on the soompi forums for this drama. people in there are very good in detecting the writer's intention on most scenes. go and read it and you would be surprised with it.

Leilani Jul 10 2017 6:45 pm Decided to see what this drama was all about since i'm waiting for the newest episodes of "Queen for Seven Days" and "Ruler: Master of the Mask" to come out (which are two very good dramas btw; totally recommend). I was excited to see two of my favorite actors/actresses starring in this drama. I've never read the manhwa and heard it was loosely based on the original. I don't know if it's just me but this drama makes no sense! All I got from the first two episodes is that this "Water God" needs to find a precious stone with the help of his female servant who is a human. The story is so stagnate though, it's irritating. The different scenes throughout the drama don't correlate or make any sense and the way this drama seems to be going it seems like it won't get on track at all. I don't hate this drama and will try to be patient with the storylines' progress but right now i'm very annoyed with this drama and it's definitely not what I expected it to be from watching the promising first 3 minutes of the episode.

Tiffany Jul 10 2017 6:34 pm I am absolutely in LOVE with this drama!! I really love the actress and omg nam joohyuk. Great story line - I hope this gets many views! !

Saw Jul 10 2017 3:43 pm Very disappointed story , already 3 episodes doesn't bring Ny sense of making sense , actor try best and still he is keeping audiences to continue, but leading actress look lost, we need to send her hospital indeed . How come scripture tried to kidding God . Director might have dream to beat Goblin series but it is beyond his or her level.

bom bi di bom Jul 10 2017 10:57 am people were like " this is a disappointment, I don't like the story blah blah blah... while me enjoying this to highest limit. I understand we all have different taste so I don't mind if you dislike it.. as long as I'm enjoying this. Idfc ... shoutout to all the people who like this... party party peeps...

Lina Jul 10 2017 10:06 am Shin Se-Kyung natural beauty natural beauty natural beauty lovely couple good luck best of best drama

Lina Jul 10 2017 8:17 am Yoon So-A natural beauty natural beauty natural beauty

blackpink in your area Jul 10 2017 7:33 am im so excited to see krystal in the drama ! cant wait for her appearance, interactions and chemistry! especially with gongmyung and his hair omfg? sorry ssk, but i hoped that krystal was the lead but she wasnt:( and njh hair is kinda awkward? but the drama is still worth the watch ! hwaiting !

Kdramaaddict Jul 10 2017 12:47 am i wanted to continue and give this drama another chance but i couldnt....i dont see a connection between the leads....shin se kyung is not my favorite actress and i just dont like her dramas and the way she acts...i feel like this drama is focusing on the good looks only, at least find someone who can act.... i have to let this drama go sorry :( all the hype and it was a let down..

Mackenzie Jul 09 2017 11:24 am in my opinion i believe this drama is good so far but honestly i don't see the chemistry between the actors in the first two episode. i don't know if its only me but it wasn't as good as the chemistry in other dramas he has started in. i will keep on watching the k drama as its good but i don't feel chemistry within the characters. i haven't read the mangwa as i wanted to see the drama first. ill give this k drama an 7/10 but it may increase throughout the drama ongoing

Redvelvet Jul 09 2017 10:23 am I've heard about this new ongoing drama based on manhwa in the same name, but the articles said the story not really like the manhwa, it's spin off. I don't know, i just haven't read the manhwa yet, but they said in manhwa they set the plot in the god and goddess world. Imho, it is difficult to adapt plot setting like that to drama you guys most like today. Can you guys imagine how the plot be like? In this 2017 year? No, this is my opinion and no offense, i respect how the crew team write they own story, still based on manhwa, but they add 'spin off' on the article. So if you guys expected this drama would be absolutely same with the manhwa, sorry i think you'll dissapointed. And i just wanna say come on, this is spin off, not the manhwa's live action. Don't compare this act or that act that in or not in the drama, so just enyoy it!

Caroline senti Jul 09 2017 9:29 am I was so exited for this drama... I have watched almost all the teasers of this drama.. the first episode itself was awesome. .... the second episode where oppa joo hyuk kissed her.... it was amazing.. unexpectedly the kissing scene was so early... looking forward for the upcoming episodes.... #Fighting!!

Anna Jul 09 2017 7:34 am Only 2 episodes and I'm loving it so far! Yes I've read the manhwa as well, and this version is entirely different obviously. However, I really do appreciate and enjoy the elements of 'the unknown', the twists and the surprises! I love NJH's acting here, he's definitely improving over the past years (looking forward to his future projects!). To my surprise, SSK did a wonderful job here as well. In my opinion (lemme stress that again, IN MY OPINION) SSK is quite of a 'wildcard'...sometimes her acting was awkward and her face looked stiff, but there were times when her acting was soo on point! I'm happy I gave this a try! It's definitely worth watching, can't wait to see the next episodes :D

Kim So-Hye Jul 09 2017 6:51 am Dear @seiko please understand they difficulty to make this drama..so please be patient for this drama because drama don't have to be precise with the real one..my suggestion is if you don't like this drama make your own drama

Dori Jul 09 2017 5:07 am Please stop being disappointed! You already have the manwha and this is something different! I think it's worth watching. Just put the manwha aside and give it a try! When the acting is not the problem just try to sit back and enjoy the acting. Stop thinking of the manwha. For me the story is interesting and the actors are great (as always) i will continue watching and i hope you can enjoy it a little more! <3

Seiko Jul 08 2017 9:22 pm Totally disappointed. Maybe my expectations for this drama were too high. In the 1st episode they destroyed everything that made the manhwa so perfect. I don't hate the actors neither their acting, but the writer completely failed changing the most important things of the story. I wouldn't be so mad if they change the title. This is not Bride of the water god, it's something else. It feels like they stole the name to create a boring story. I hope someone in Taiwan would make a better drama for the manhwa. The story deserves it. And for the people that doesn't understand why the fans from the manhwa are so angry, well...most of us waited years to read the story. It was a long way from the begining to the end. We loved the characters and were expecting to love this drama.

kdrama addict Jul 08 2017 3:44 pm shin se kyung is back:) with the hottest male lead

Marie Jul 08 2017 10:04 am I read the manhwa but I eventually dropped it because the bride was too childish for my taste. Glad that they didn't do the same here on the drama, based on the two episodes released so far. Also loved how they changed the setting of the story by placing them into the modern world.

ha baek Jul 08 2017 8:46 am im so disappointed with the drama. They call this adaptation but the only thing similar to the manhwa is the title and the character names. it was really different, not in a good way but in a kinda disappointing way. Did they just use the title of the manhwa "bride of the water god" given that it's a popular manhwa to promote this? They should have just come up with some original title with the same plot they are hving now. That would eliminate some of the negativity. But as it is, the deliberation of lines arent that good too and the comedy was kinda forced. I dont mind the acting though but it could still have been better.

LiyaLeon Jul 07 2017 9:47 am After watching the 2 episodes, Nice and romantic. Can't wait

Ally Gabrielle Jul 07 2017 9:13 am I love it..first 2 episodes are entertaining..now i am waiting for Monday and Tuesday for the next epiisodes..Cant wait for his power to return...

Su hwa Jul 07 2017 8:56 am I like the drama. Can't wait till next week

Drama Viewer Jul 07 2017 8:46 am Saw first two eps. Awesome drama. Can't wait to see what happens next. Amazing visuals, fun premise (she's a psychiatrist and thinks he's crazy, he's a supreme being who has lost all his powers, LOL!). Great interactions, chemistry, hilarious situations, some parts that make you think/serious. Really draws in the viewer (=me). Try it for yourself; it might be your new favorite.

Mili Jul 07 2017 8:11 am I have watched the first two episodes..i think it is great..i don't why the ratings are not increasing/why people are bashing njh and ssk for their acting..i think they are pretty good.looking forward to the next episodes..hope it keeps me fully hooked..bride of habaek cas FIGHTING!! ??

donahmeee Jul 07 2017 3:14 am i enjoyed the 1st and 2nd ep! .. im huwaaiting for Gong myung in 3rd!!! so far so good!

no name Jul 06 2017 10:59 am @Andy this is a spin off of the manhwa, modern settings.all change but the title remain but still good

At least the bride here isn't childish. what a relief.

Andy Jul 06 2017 9:48 am I thought this was going to be a historical drama, am I missing something?

despacito Jul 06 2017 7:57 am advice to people is that don't look at comments or ratings ...just see it for yourself then judge because you might miss a great drama if you just rely on negativity... this is a good drama for me not perfect but I'm entertained... and many people are loving it already...there maybe negativity but it's not as many as the people who loves it...

Rhyss Iqram Jul 06 2017 4:48 am After watching the 1st 2 episodes....i like. Hoping that the story & the plot will get better by each episode. The lead actor & actress are good. Shin Se Kyung is what i called as an 'innocently attractive' lady....she's a natural.. good drama & good job there. Thumbs up to the director...keep it up

Tesalonika Jul 05 2017 10:03 pm 2 episodes isn't enough for me!!!!! i can't wait for the next week anymore!!! please time goes fasterr:(

Wayne Jul 05 2017 9:08 pm I watched 2 episodes so far and no sign of Beautiful Krystal but she should appear in episode 3. I'm watching this K-drama because My Favorite Actres Krystal is in the cast. The story seems confusing so far but it should become more easy to understand after all of the cast members have been introduced. This K-drama is a fantasy romantic comedy and will definitely be more interesting once Krystal is in some scenes as Mura. I love her acting skills and she always makes her character seem very dynamic and believable. Also Krystal's amazing beauty enhances every scene that she appears.

Michelle Jul 05 2017 6:30 pm Wow!! the story is amazing because it have a lot of mystery in there.

i will watch it until the end!!

good job!! best drama!

Yatie Jul 05 2017 4:30 pm First ep quite slow but I love ep 2, so interesting. So sad I have to wait for next ep ?

Chandria Jul 05 2017 3:17 pm I really really really love the characters but is it only me? I've been watching drama and reading manga/comics/cartoons whatever you call it since 2007 and when I don't like it,I won't continue. (mostly because the plot is really bad and the actors can't give justice to their given roles) I'm not expecting that this drama will be exactly like in Manhwa but atleast give justice to it. I'm reading the comments and obviously, there are a lot of negative comments so please fix it. I don't want to say that "Ohhhh this drama is really exciting, i'm looking forward to it" when it's not. Lol people, be honest not because we love Joo Hyuk so much (or any of the other cast) doesn't mean we won't tell the truth. The story is too plain and boring. I know it's just the first two episodes so we can't judge it but nahh, the first episode should leave a big impact to the viewers.

Pam Jul 05 2017 9:46 am I loved it!! It's quite a good drama!! And funny, too!! The main lead, Nam Joo- Hyuk's acting is awesome, he looks so handsome!! Just loved it!! Definitely recommended!! Looking forward to it!!

ferlyn Jul 05 2017 9:30 am I was waiting for this drama for almost 3 months. finally it's already being aired. I love both lead characters. I recommend you guys to watch their other drama because you'll love their acting.

Lay Jul 05 2017 9:10 am Based on the first two episodes, it's not bad and not that great either. I think the story line is weak or maybe it's the scriptwriting but yeah, it's not giving me the feels. But I may still watch it and give it a try for the next episodes since I like the casts of the drama.

Dramalover Jul 05 2017 7:22 am The ratings already surpassed 3% which is actually very good for a cable channel like TVN. I think people would enjoy it more if they stopped comparing and enjoy the drama as is.

vv Jul 05 2017 7:16 am love the actors and actress but the storyline too slow and flat, so its a bit boring

baek n so ha Jul 05 2017 7:11 am omg that ost and last scene were everything... my heart actually fluttered.... am sooo excited for what is t come. ...for those who haven't watched this I advice u to ignore some of the comments and watch it.. its nice.

Martin Jul 05 2017 4:07 am 2 episodes were good and funny so far can't wait for more :D , and please stop comparing the manhwa and the drama.

Sam Jul 05 2017 4:03 am Storyline is not pretty but shin she kyung is pretty

Dhana Jul 05 2017 2:56 am Drama is very boring . I have not watch that maghna but still boring. I just like shin se Kyung

dee Jul 05 2017 2:55 am Can't wait for upcoming episodes!

Jun Jul 05 2017 1:13 am I always looking forward to this drama since this early year. Idk why people dislike the characters especially se kyung. Damn. she is gorgeous and her acting is not bad either! I think people prefer the original story from the manhwa and not this modern setting? Thats why? But it isnt wrong to like this adaptation right?

The first episode was hilarious and i like it! Nam joo hyuk really doing his best to fit the role! I mean he usually the naughty type- but he has to act like someone who doesnt know anything about human world lol. I hope much people eventually support this drama! Fighthing habaek and soah <3

Kornetz Jul 04 2017 11:47 pm I don't know why the rating is low, the drama is good and i think the acting is good too..

I think korean people should watch it with their brain without hear what others people said.

Clementine Darrah French Jul 04 2017 9:53 pm I like tge drama i like their chemistry but the flow of the story is kind of different from the manhwa but its interesting.So moora in here she dislike habaek but in manhwa she like habaek but im its not tragedy because soah died in the end.☺??but fighting Bride of the Water God cast im going to watch it till the end saranghar #namjoohyuk#shinsekyung#gomyung#krystal#limjuhwan

Jang Jul 04 2017 8:01 pm Let's support this drama! keep it up!

Shirls Jul 04 2017 3:31 pm I think it is too early to judge this show but i really liked the first episode

Queen Sheba Jul 04 2017 2:52 pm This is funny, the Water god and his servant, and the divine realm painter, (cant imagine what'll happen to him) lmao. Have yet to see how the story unfolds, very interesting. NJH is so pretty, a godly handsome man, no wonder its him. Keep fighting NJH, IJH & "The Bride of Water god"! (sorry Im Christian, so I write with small "g" for an unknown god to me, but will see this drama for my biases, aja aja fighting!)

Wayne Jul 04 2017 1:49 pm Krystal is why I will love this K-Drama <3

primbye Jul 04 2017 11:20 am Keep waiting the next episode.. ?? fighting Nam Joo Hyuk oppa ??

Kpopers Jul 04 2017 11:15 am I absolutely love the cast members!!! Every single one of them! They all fit the characters really well in my opinion, maybe just the fact that So Ah is supposed to be more emotionless and more dark, but nevertheless I love SSK!

Bon Jul 04 2017 11:02 am It's too early to tell whether they have chemistry or not or this is worth to watch or not.

Habaek's bride Jul 04 2017 10:58 am as an avid manhwa fan of BOTWG I don't mind the big change...it's enjoyable anyway... many people are already liking it ...it's just that here it doesn't show much because of some hateful comments...for me It's not perfect but It's good and funny at the same time...thumbs up for the drama ...guess we can't really please everybody... hating is natural part of being a human ... so it's okay...

Safira Jul 04 2017 10:14 am I don't know why there are so many hate comments on the first episode. I think it's too early to judge. Am I the only one who thinks that the first episode is really entertaining? I can't stop laughing during all the moments between Ha Baek and Nam Soo Ri! Their interaction is sooo cute I'm dead lol. And the chemistry between Ha Baek and Yoon So-A is there, though. So yeah I'm looking forward to next episode! NJH looks super cool with long hair and highlighted

dian.mas Jul 04 2017 7:03 am Good actor but no chemistry... Good visual but bad plot....

Kel Jul 04 2017 6:59 am Ju Hwan deabak!!! Good job.

letty Jul 04 2017 6:38 am this drama is great and very funny,no regrets so excited for the next episode.......i think if u haven't read the manhwa like me u will enjoy more but even if u have read it, it still has a very entertaining start and the production said it is going to be different from the book and all actors are doing a great job xo i don't understand the so called"disappointment"

anne Jul 04 2017 6:33 am i've watched the first episode and I was entertained, i'm actually looking forward to episode 2. let's not be quick to judge, it's only the first episode

Kittyweese Jul 04 2017 6:12 am Watched the first episode and not as bad as comments are making it seem. Only read the first four books in the series and although the plot is different, I think NJH is doing a good job so far. SSK not one of my favorites, but not doing badly either. I think if fans would accept the story for what it is and not make comparisons to the books, they would enjoy it much more. Movies and TV show almost never do books justice. Will not put this at the top of my favorites list, but the first episode was interesting enough to keep me watching. Give it a chance. . .

Andreea Jul 04 2017 5:55 am so many hateful comments...it`s annoying... i really enjoyed the first episode, i laughed a lot; i cannot understand where is all this hate coming from NJH and SSH did a good job, i`m hoping people would be more supportive

Josephine Jul 04 2017 1:35 am Very entertaining premiere. Look forward to the following episodes.

Tunaina Jul 04 2017 12:36 am I'm not going to lie but I almost fell asleep. I knew about the drama because of Krystal and I was disappointed that she wasn't in the first episode. The drama did not have the normal kdrama flow. I thought that some if it was just unnecessary.

Haileyyoo Jul 03 2017 11:52 pm I already watch the episode 1,but why I cannot into this drama,even with good actors and actresses there i think I wouldn't continue to watch,poor me

Hachiko Jul 03 2017 10:15 pm I loved the manhwa of this drama. I'm a bit disappointed with episode 1. A lot of details from the manhwa has not been inculed. The plot is totally changed. I don't know how this will go on. I guess im saying this because I read the manhwa. It was already exciting during the first chapters of the manhwa. But this first episode of the drama for me is a Meh. I was expecting more. But, I'll still give this a chance. It's still early. Hoping to see more and to actually see the manhwa in the drama.

jajaja Jul 03 2017 9:00 pm poor chemistry between the leads. it's so obvious how nam joo hyuk is reserved and distancing himself with shin se kyung especially off camera. (can't blame him though) but I hope they can put it aside and act their hearts out ?

Goblinn Jul 03 2017 8:42 pm Don't judge too fast, it's a good drama..

Nam joo hyuk acting is right because he is trying to be a god..

The watcher Jul 03 2017 8:05 pm @Arai - you can watch moon chae woon in criminal mind..tq

some of you who have read the manga version must have high expectation of this drama..unfortunately, this is only the spin off of the manga version. If you watch one of the trailer, it was stated there that this drama is only a spin off. That's why the story totally different from the original version...for those who think this drama is a waste of time...there are few new kdrama that will be aired soon. let's together make our self free from hatred as it will only caused high blood pressure...hahaha..sorry for my bad grammar...hahahaha...

rey Jul 03 2017 7:48 pm i wanna cry watch this drama because njh always everywhere with empty eyes and force voice sounds. :(((((((

Goblin Jul 03 2017 7:47 pm I cringe so much watching episode 1. have no hate against any actors in this drama but this adaptation is totally MEH

Gab Jul 03 2017 7:08 pm After reading the comments I saw many bad comments. I haven't read the manhwa (is it manhwa the manga version? I'm not sure, sorry) yet. But we should not expect that this Drama version must be exactly the same as the korean manga. They are trying their best to make this drama great. So pleaseee let's not hate it. I understand that you're quite upset because I've also watch lot of movies that I've already read in books and it is soo different from the book version. I'm sure they really try hard yo make this so please Guyyys let's just support them.

Hieleo Jul 03 2017 6:36 pm Such a waste.

Choo Choo Jul 03 2017 6:30 pm They should've at least retained his transformation as a child. It was one of the most important plot line in the manhwa. :(

K Jul 03 2017 6:18 pm @ha baek You have a point, personally I read that manhwa and I was extremely disappointment when I saw the cast (mainly the male and female lead :/) plus the fact that they changed the setting from historical to modern, it took out the beautiful of the story. Idk how this drama will go but good luck to them (and maybe they'll make a original version of botwg in the future with actors that fit habaek and soah!)

Ha Baek Jul 03 2017 4:06 pm I cant make myself like nam joo hyuk and shin se kyung, i have no hate towards the two but throughout watching episode 1 i cant help but think this drama could have been better with a different male / female lead. Nam joo hyuk still looks like a high schooler and his acting is still stiff at some moments. I cant relate to him at certain scenes, it is not that convincing enough, as an actor you have to let your viewers feel your emotion too, but as for me watching him, I feel nothing... Although i wont deny he's improving.

Donly Jul 03 2017 12:44 pm I think this drama is so different from the korean manga. I prefer water god in that manga than water god in this drama. For everyone who was read the manga , i think so difficult if made its drama. The audience will compare between manga n drama.

Zahra El-Fajr Jul 02 2017 2:36 pm Nam joo hyuk with new drama saved my life. I'll give review before watch because if for nam joo hyuk, i will love this drama. ♡

Kira Jul 02 2017 10:57 am Omg Nam Joo Hyuk

Labonee Dewan Jul 02 2017 7:00 am Exeptional!! I just cant wait to watch... Though the story was from a manga, still i think it would be more beautiful n fantastic than the manga.. Fighting Nam Do Hyuk!!!

Safiyya Jul 01 2017 4:49 pm When I read the Bride of the Water God(Manga), the story was so different they change a lots of scenes. I was telling the truth. Before you watch this drama, you should read first the manga before this drama. I think the drama was the part 2 of the manga.

Arai Jul 01 2017 6:23 am Actually I'm quite disappointed because MCW declined the role... she will be perfect for this drama in my opinion. But it's ok, I think SSK is a good actress too :)

azmil Jul 01 2017 3:13 am wow finally the fantasy drama of nam joo hyuk...i am from nepal and i'm eagerly waiting for this drama

Clarkdale44 Jun 30 2017 11:32 pm @NGS you really read the entire thing in a day? If yes then i salute you..

I know it will be hard to carry the original story but this is the type of plotline that requires 30+ episodes without any major modification to the original script. Basically what i and many others wanted was the original story set in historical era. They have made plenty other 50+ episodes dramas, it shouldn't be that hard to properly make this adaptation.

Well anyhow what can i say. It's just that i feel very disappointed because they are using the name of one of the best manhwa i have read and making it's TV adaptation in such a way.

I am still gonna give the first episode a try for the sake of this drama's name.

NGS Jun 30 2017 10:51 am Actually Gongmyung and Krsytal are catch my attention here.... Imo, they are so much resemble to their character from manhwa. Krystal is so beautiful here.... Even when I read the manhwa, Biryum is my 3rd favorite (after lead character). I like his character and look at the teaser Gongmyung is the really fit of Biryum style <3 <3

NGS Jun 30 2017 10:44 am @Clarkdale44 kinda agree with you with "I would've preferred if they had kept the original historical setting" ... After knowing the drama spin off of manhwa, I spent 1 day to read all the chapter of the manhwa. (actually I happened to see this manhwa in bookstore but didn't really interested to read. never imagine it will be this big ) . the manhwa is beyond anything, so well written and draw... I really amaze by the manhwa... cant sleep to think about it xD The saeguk version is cool!! But, yeah like you said this one is spin off... I think it will hard to carry full the original story... But, this drama look interesting too :)

D.Drama.Fanatic Jun 29 2017 9:25 pm Ummm... ok.. im a bit wary abt this drama... the historic elements were what i loved.. i jst hope they manage to retain the charm that the manhwa had

sugarpie2u Jun 29 2017 7:44 pm woh.. the trailer looks good! Deabak!!!

Davia Jun 29 2017 7:18 pm I love Shin Se-Kyung's acting. She was great in The Girl Who Smells, Six Flying Dragon's, High Kick, Fashion King (one of the worst written dramas ever except the acting overall was great). Just because the character that she had to portray in some of the dramas was pathetic doesn't mean her acting wasn't amazing. 'When a Man Loves' was such a boring drama that I couldn't finish watching it. She is a subtle, nuanced and refined actress which some people don't get. I'm happy to see that she's going to be in this. I hope the drama will be good.

love Jun 28 2017 8:30 pm omg I can't wait to watch this drama! >_<

Clarkdale44 Jun 28 2017 5:47 pm OK.. So it's a spin off... I guess i was expecting too much...

Clarkdale44 Jun 28 2017 4:45 pm Well... I would've preferred if they had kept the original historical setting(nothing of present whatsoever).

I have read through manhwa and it was well beyond anything i have ever read...

Although i like Shin Se-Kyung but i still think she is too young for the role of Yoon So-A. I wonder why Moon Chae-Won declined, she would've been perfect..

I just hope they keep the original storyline as much as possible.

Anyway let's see where the first episode stands... Looking forward to it...

Johys Jun 28 2017 11:20 am @agustaf I saw that drama and i didn't like her either, butttt when i saw her on Six Flying Dragons i totally change my mind, she really grown up as an actress, so i can't wait to see this drama. Habaek Fighting!!!

Layla Jun 28 2017 9:15 am I just saw the preview, it looks really interesting and I'm so in love with second leads. Honestly don't known much about the female lead but she looks really cute!!! All I have to say is that Joo-Hyuk pretty much had the same face expressions throughout the entire preview which I find very funny but I'm still looking for to enjoying this drama. Hope for good ratings like Goblin!!!

Dian Jun 27 2017 10:56 pm Haters are going to say all hate comments but they are still gonna watch the first episode. Don't judge a book by its cover (pun intended). But the series hasn't started yet. In cases like this, the least expected turns out better than the most hyped actress that could ever be wished for. With that said, everyone has the right to there own opinion but at least you should wait till it airs... see ya later.

VickyD Jun 27 2017 10:30 pm Anybody here excited because they read the Manhwa, well i am for one

Mylene Jun 27 2017 7:56 pm One of my most anticipated drama for 2017. This will be my favorite drama packed with my favorite actors. Hwaiting!!!!

Vic Jun 27 2017 3:48 pm I think Nam Joo-Hyuk is a very charming celebrity but this acting can be a bit lacking (no hate intended). I guess he is very popular in Korea since he gets role after role so quickly, best of luck! Btw super excited for the second leads!!!!!!

Samantha Jun 27 2017 11:16 am I'm excited for this drama. All my fav actors and actresses!! I don't know why everyone hates Shin Se Kyung so much. Her acting is okay and she is absolutely beautiful. I've seen a lot worse than her in dramas and movies.

Also I love Krystal <3 and Gong Myung <3! Fighting~!!!!!

ohmygee Jun 27 2017 11:00 am AYEEE I'm so psyched for this!!! I love Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung's not that bad of an actress. I saw the teasers and I'm guessing their chemistry's going to be great too. Can't wait till ep 1 comes out!

agustaf Jun 27 2017 9:56 am aaaakhhh i hate shin se kyung so much...... why the director choose her to be lead????? i've been watch many drama with good and bad acting . but shin se kyung is the worst actress i've ever seen!! last her drama i watch is sensory couple, and their chemistry is so baadddd!!! se kyung can't show any expression, her expression so flat, and i can't feel anything. if i could vote for the worst acress, i will choose her. arrrghh!!

Ahjusshi Jun 27 2017 8:47 am I feel like nam joo hyuk keeps being distant at shin se kyung, he also looks serious even at pres con & bts XD is lee sung kyung watching boy? Also i dont think there's anything wrong with shin se kyung, her acting is okay, ive seen much worse actresses than her. Fighting team!!

KeL Jun 27 2017 4:44 am Im Ju Hwan fighting!

bxrnxngj Jun 25 2017 9:40 am OMG!! All cast is my favorit ^^ Gong Myung Oppa Fighting!!! Can't wait~

marinel Jun 24 2017 10:42 pm I really love this manhwa, reading it since I was young, so excited to watch this version

nancy Jun 24 2017 10:03 pm Perfect cast those who are complaining about cast I think they don't know about them. The cast is perfect for this drama I like everyone lead actor's to supporting actor's .Lim ju hwan my favourite (shine or go crazy),gong myung(drinking solo) Năm joo hyuk (weight lifting fairy Kim bok joo and moon lovers, cheese in trap ) and shin se kyung (a girl who see smells and six flying dragons) I m so excited or dying to watch it

Karin Jun 24 2017 12:53 pm Another Goblin oriented drama, I'm expecting it will be good as Goblin,looking forward on this drama

Hansangki Jun 24 2017 6:45 am Idk why a lot of people complain about cast, about the time of the drama story. Just.. pls trust tvn and let's support the drama will ya?

chunu Jun 23 2017 8:24 pm Please guys no haters here .... If you dont like it better dont watch it ... Why are you complaining about the cast they look perfect ... Dont waste your time ........ I dont think the story is getting ruined or something ... I prefer the modern One then the historical ......sincerly i am trlling the truth the real manhaw is little difficult to understand so i gave up in it .... And looking forward for the drama ...

izanxmi Jun 23 2017 11:30 am I can see that a lot of people are hating on the lead actress because they can't seem to cope with NJH acting with anyone other than LSK. That's freaking pathetic. This is an industry. Why care? This lead actress is perfect and you'd know that if you even bothered to give her a shot. But no, you downgrade her skills and talents, all-the-while, covering up her greater qualities with made up excuses to why you dislike her. Here's what I think you should, for those of you who just love NJH and are hating on SSK-> go read a damn fan fiction and lay off the drama. You don't have to watch it and I'm sure there's someone out there that's gonna make a fanfic on this and instead of having SSK being the lead, it'll be LSK.

Slay Jun 23 2017 11:00 am @wayne me too! I think i'll only watch this for Krystal since the trailers seem to be romcom it way different from the manhwa. The manhwa has intense story with romance (idk how to explain it). I'm dissapointed ): since it's my favorite manhwa of all time damn the art and the storyline. But i just hope the best for this drama, fighting Krystal!!

Slay Jun 23 2017 10:56 am @wayne me too! Krystal is already like god and omg she's like a goddess. I'm waiting for this drama since ages ago but i'm a bit dissappointed when the trailers look like romcom. The manhwa is intense with beautiful romance (idk how to explain tho), maybe it has a little comedy but i like the intencity of the manhwa. So far i'm not getting it in the trailers but i guess i watch it just for krystal, it better be good, finger cross!! Krystal fighting!

cutechloe Jun 23 2017 10:06 am teasers look beautiful! waiting for it!

BOTWG Jun 23 2017 9:11 am @vix Ahhhmmm excuse me just so you know Bride of the water God is a manhwa and it came first before Goblin way way back...so you just can't say another Goblin drama... If only they turn this into a drama after the manhwa was published then you wouldn't have the courage to say that or should I say another Bride of the water God drama...to all those people who are saying that this is just another Goblin then do your research first... getting a little info won't harm you...

Wayne Jun 23 2017 6:09 am My interest in this drama is mainly because of my love for it's co-star Beautiful Krystal Jung ? My favorite actress & celebrity

Kdrummer Jun 23 2017 5:41 am i didnt know NJH wld act in this sort of dramas, but he's a pretty good actor. but SSK? her acting is sorta fake. i especially dislike her crying scenes. synopsis looks interesting tho, its my kinda drama, so i'll jist watch it anyways.

Alistair Jun 23 2017 3:24 am Okay, so I'm not that excited about this. But I'm going to watch it regardless because of Shin Se Kyung. Honestly, I disliked her acting as well. In a few great shows that I watched I felt was ruined because of how bad an actor she was, she's gotten A lot better now though. A few of her recent performances were way better than before, and she's gone from absolutely terrible, to decent. I'm sure she's practicing and working on her acting because for me the results are clear. I'm slowly becoming a fan of hers, so it's a little off-putting to see people disliking her so much. But I understand since she's not the best actor.

ayça Jun 22 2017 9:29 am it s look like interesting

lory Jun 21 2017 8:52 pm i love Joo Hyuk but i don't like his partner n ds drama. They don't fit for each other.

Lucinda Jun 21 2017 5:10 pm I really love Shin Se Kyung ever since High Kick Through the Roof. Can't wait to see what her work will look like this time.

Han Jun 21 2017 2:31 pm No teaser for Lim Ju Hwan and Krystal ?,they are the main cast as well right ??

eline Jun 21 2017 12:42 pm firstly, i don't like the female lead. not even a bit, she's way too expressionless and her eyes never gave me any feelings in any drama she's in! i don't want to hate on her but there's more and better actresses out there that can channel their feelings and expression better than hers imo. plus this drama has a unique plot, i think it's a shame that they casted her instead of another lead, i mean it's like wasting a perfectly fine plot by using a not good female lead *sigh*.

probably not gonna watch the drama but let's see, hope it turns out better than her previous dramas tho, fighting!

vix Jun 21 2017 10:12 am another Goblin like drama.

OMG I love thisssss!! Jun 20 2017 5:21 pm I can't waaaaiit!!!!????

Nohate Jun 20 2017 9:48 am I dont like nam joo hyuk's hair in this drama. It feels like they are trying to make him look mature but to me his face is still like a high schooler. He's so much better with his character in WFKBJ

I. Missmajy Jun 20 2017 7:33 am I read the comic, and really interested with the story and it draw. I like Bi ryum but at last he choose to die with Mura because he really love Mura. But I think the plot of the drama will be really different from the comic. And I'll be wait for it.

shin Jun 20 2017 3:54 am looooooooooove the actress

Iraynay Jun 19 2017 12:36 am Lim Joo Hwan n Nam Joo Hyuk :-b the story seems interesting

Iraynay Jun 19 2017 12:32 am Lim Joo Hwan n Nam Joo Hyuk? the story seems interesting

Acidlulluby Jun 18 2017 4:37 am Transfer 6 won hehe ;) Can't wait!!!

Kitty and Maika Jun 16 2017 6:14 pm OMG! Shin Se Kyung is the best actress! She is the beautifull, charming, kind - hearted girl!

Janna Jun 16 2017 4:34 am Oh my I love this actress, she is perfect and beautiful I can wait for the drama, Nam joo hyuk and Shin Se-Kyung

CLofLiloan Jun 15 2017 7:51 am I think Kang Haneul's role will be the Orabeuni of Soa or her human admirer

Gabrielle Victoria Johnson Jun 15 2017 7:05 am I can not wait! Yeah!!!

nancy Jun 15 2017 6:40 am I love the cast....lead actress is perfect

saanjh Jun 14 2017 5:19 am I love lead actress .....she is perfect. .....If u watch six flying dragons and the girl who see smells. ....u know she is great actress

Lackey Jun 12 2017 11:00 am why don't y'all like the female lead tho??? i just saw The Sensory Couple and she was really good there. is there something wrong with her acting?

nancy Jun 10 2017 6:50 am Teaser 4 love it.......still so many days for drama I can't wait I'm dying

LovesHallyu Jun 09 2017 11:09 am OmG!!! the trailer it is so cool.... i am looking forward to the tv drama. i have read the manhwa. even if it is set in a modern era. i know tvN will never fail to entertain us. i hope to those who have negative feed back. just stay chill and relax wait till you see the whole series. before you give feedback if it is worthy of our criticism. tvN will provide surprise to there adaptation. like cheese in the trap, misaeng. and there wonderful tv dramas such as reply 1988, bring it on ghost, oh my ghost, signal, cinderella and the four knights, etc and ofcourse the very successful Goblin. let us provide support and love to the actors, actress, staff and director.

Mischa Jun 09 2017 3:07 am Oh dear.. i can see A LOT OF people here feels dissapointed that the producers didnt bring historical version out of it.. I do feel the same guys!! since i've read the manhwa first.. its a shame.. ?

Also, most comment here kinda regret that SSK got cast as the main lead.. i think i know why.. her acting skill is just average.. below average.. but what kind of power we have here? Lets see how much rating this drama can get.. (i think i know already) ?

aster Jun 08 2017 3:45 am Yes, the aquarium scene... thats romeo and juliet

Allison Flores Jun 08 2017 1:32 am Anyone else get Romeo & Juliet vibes (Leonardo DeCaprio Version) from teaser 2 :)

Dinulak Jun 07 2017 9:55 am Wow..teaser is beautiful one..i am looking forward to the modernized version coz i got bit tired of the manhwa..it is sooo long..but beautiful..their costumes are awesome hehe..looking forward

nancy Jun 07 2017 7:05 am I love every teaser of this drama....High hopes Both leads perfect......Other cast perfect....modern fantasy...love it....There are already too many historic....ruler,sassy,and queen of seven days (my favourite. )..upcoming historic my only love song,the kings love. ........so its better they have modern story...and I know there are few moments also there with beautiful costumes dress up like teaser 3.......so excited ......For the drama

neutralisment Jun 07 2017 7:05 am @Lackey It seems like it'll be a mix of both era. Newest trailer showed us a brand new look of NJH as the Water God.

Lackey Jun 06 2017 2:23 pm @senru you're right, there's already too many historical showws going on now/ Tbh i'm getting really tired of them. I'll be watching this, they have a good cast and the plot seems entertaining. i never read the manhwa so this should be a nice surprise

Jin Jun 06 2017 12:26 pm I read the manhwa and I am kinda disappointed why they turn it into a modern version. The historical setting made the manhwa beautiful but they took it off. :( I understand that they want to make it relatable and maybe they turned it into a modern version to catch attention of the viewers but still the beauty of the manhwa was ripped off.

still looking forward on how the story will flow. Hopefully it will be exciting with each episode in it. To all the cast, fighting! To Nam Joo-Hyuk oppa, keep making us proud! To the whole production team, you can do it!

PS: Give us more teaser! Please don't disappoint us! Hehe

Capital WHY?? Jun 05 2017 10:26 pm why did they modernized it???!!?!?!?

i was so looking forward to the historical settings of it........

i really really want to watch the original adaptation of this manga.......

however.... i'm happy that they actually made a movie version out of it.....

i love it.....

senru Jun 05 2017 5:57 am Thank god it is set in modern world bcuz already there are many historical drsmas in year2017 ..I'm looking forward to it..

wahh? Jun 03 2017 6:46 pm It's modern? But the manhwa setting was historical and fantasy kind of thing. Wae??? Smh. Way to kill it for me. I was looking forward to the colorful setting and costumes that could possibly come to life... Ehh, well that's not really gonna happen now. Let me guess, he's some kind of CEO of some water corporation and she has to marry him in order to save her people, something along those lines. Well I'm out.

Mai Jun 03 2017 1:00 pm I read the manhwa and from what I remember it was historical. Sooa was a human sacrifice for Habaek right? Anyways, I'm looking forward on how the story plays out in a modern setting.

chunu Jun 03 2017 6:26 am I thought it was historical but seems like there is little twist in drama. .. Though I love.....it Twist in modern world Daebak.. ..

Unhappy Jun 02 2017 11:46 am Wow.... I hope this drama will be good and won't disappoint us. Probably if this drama would made by Chinese it would be better, because korean dramas usually are made in modern world, there aren't any fantasy and chinese dramas, on other hand, are more fantastic and are following the real story. So i hope they won't make this story another romantic korean drama( except Scarlet heart, i liked this one) Thank you and good bye -_-

Jongup's Bread Jun 02 2017 12:59 am Nam Joo Hyuk and his water loool

(because he's always a swimmer...and now he's the water god... okay-- I'll just go haha)

Tahlia Jun 01 2017 10:52 pm I really thought this was a historical drama...

Alyssa Jun 01 2017 2:49 am Lee Sung Kyung is better with Nam Joo Hyuk, Kinda sad about it but best to watch! I'll support it tho. Saranghae oppa!

Ajasni May 31 2017 11:35 pm Nam joo hyuk oppa congragulations for ur new series i hope u will act with lee sung kyung unnni . fighting oppaaa we will always support u sarangaeyoooo opaaaaaa

wanti May 31 2017 12:51 pm whoaaa can't wait this drama XD i want to see Nam Joo-Hyuk oppa ❤❤

nancy May 31 2017 6:16 am I m waiting for this drama love the main leads and other cast members are also good I like the first trailer of the drama I thought it's going to be historic fantasy but it luk like modern version.....its okay with modern part I just want fantasy. ...I like the fantasy most

Ayaa May 31 2017 5:29 am I'm really disappointed that they didn't go with the original setting. I was really looking forward to all the beautiful costumes and the dynamic between the leads. Too bad they turned it into just another romance drama.

winnie May 30 2017 10:46 pm Wait, I thought it would be a historical fantasy ish story because of the book..but from the 15 second trailer..it doesn't look like it

Bilat May 29 2017 2:06 pm Omg im so excited! I've read this beforw way back in highschool and now its a drama woohooo nam joo hyuk ???

Babylon May 28 2017 12:28 pm Can't wait for it ❤️!

dmtry May 24 2017 8:40 pm I am excited for this upcoming kdrama <3

Smriti May 24 2017 12:39 pm Waiting for this drama desperately? Specially appearance of Nam joo hyuk

Miss M May 23 2017 9:14 am The important things for a drama are the plot and the chemistry between the actors and actresses. Knowing that NJH was in his best chemistry in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, i'm kinda pessimist about his chemistry with SSK for this drama. Idk. I'm not sure tho. Let's wait and review it again later haha

sd1_2 May 21 2017 10:31 am i hope that the drama release soon

fan May 20 2017 1:08 pm I love the casts even the cameos except NJH and GM. Too rookie for this. Unlike SSK and Krystal. The guys are unexperience.

ale May 19 2017 4:56 pm Honestly, this people are as irritating as possible. 1. No, there is no way to put Lee Sungkyung, I don't know if you know but in dramas it is difficult to put the same actors of other dramas, the couple swag will not stop being a real couple because of this, stop being annoying, in addition there is a word called professionalism. 2. Krystal is a great actress but not for a leading role so there's no point in staying fresh. 3. Stop judging Shin Sekyung for one or two dramas you've seen, she's much more than that, she's been in the industry a long time and then they called her is clearly because she can do it, you're not even professional to understand things.

Ryama May 18 2017 8:05 pm I like the female lead and also her acting..but honestly she is not the right person for this character..if only still can have a chance to change..SSK I like u but u just not at the right place here..

Hmmm... May 18 2017 6:23 pm I read the entire series of the manhwa. Lemme be honest and state my thought. I don't think Shin Se Kyung is the right actress for So-A.

Caroly May 18 2017 5:50 pm I read the manga and loved it. I hope the drama will be good!! ?

@GoodGirl May 18 2017 9:26 am Any updates ???

Kiki May 17 2017 3:36 am two syllables name is not common in korea but still not rare..

Kiki May 17 2017 3:31 am and I think Krystal is a Mura but change to Hye Ra. Characters' name in two syllables is not common but not rare in korea..Like Gong Shim, Lee Shin, Lee Seol, Namgung Min. even four syllables like Im Me Ah Ri.

mj May 16 2017 9:47 am wait wasn't it a manga before being a manhwa? i remember reading a manga of similar story, where he actually transforms at night or something like that? >.< I actually wanted soojung to be the main lead ughhh... anyways.

NOS May 15 2017 2:59 am Love all cast except Krystal

Mui's lover May 15 2017 2:56 am The people who have read the manhwa do you think that there will be more chapters in the future or not ? I think the story has not yet finished.....

yranaxia May 15 2017 2:11 am I bet it will be a historical drama. Don't know about the manhwa but, it is difficult to change the background of the story, I mean from historical to modern one. Plus, the characters' name is in two syllables, just as how joseon people have. And the scenery is in a village, so it must be in joseon. Am I the only one who sense the similarities to 'Deokkaebi Shinboo' as in Goblin? It would be great to watch it in historical drama...^_^

abthurd May 14 2017 6:32 am I don't like Shin Se Kyung's acting that much and Nam Joo Hyuk is just average for me. But I'm gonna watch this because the screenwriter for this drama is the one who wrote Misaeng. Misaeng is amazing and so I'm having a high expectation on this drama really.

Vousmevoywez May 11 2017 4:37 pm Yaaaassss krystal slay yaaasss i love you!! Make them $$$$

Pomme May 09 2017 9:25 am @anonymous17 Euh... Queen of mystery is a KBS2 drama and Bride of water god will be in tvN. You're wrong, sorry...

Anonymous17 May 08 2017 5:26 pm I predicted that this drama will start airing on may 31 because this drama will take over "queen of mystery" and "queen of mystery will stop airing at may 25 and this drama will start airing the week after queen of mystery finish airing.

rida Apr 28 2017 4:33 pm ive read the manhwa and I LOVE IT cant wait for this drama

Axel Apr 25 2017 10:34 am Based on webcomic "Habaekui Shinboo" by Yoon Mi-Kyung (The Bride of the Water God by Yun Mi-kyung) Published: 2007-2014, 24 volumes

But this will be in the modern days ( <-- But I am not sure about that )

Peach Apr 25 2017 8:39 am I thought this drama will become like from joseon era! But the behind the scene both actor (NJH & SSK) are wearing normal clothes (not hanbok) :o did anyone know anything about the details? Anyway, i cannot wait to see my baby NJH! Fighting!

Lee Seo Hwa Apr 25 2017 8:32 am What is this drama about? That plot sounds like from Joseon era ! 0___0

mrs.nam Apr 23 2017 7:28 am omgs! can't wait to see my babeee, nam joo hyuk ??

Taylor Drew Apr 23 2017 4:43 am I believed that Shin Se Kyung will do her best to make people impress on her acting on this drama! pls don't hate her just bcs of her boring appearance in running man or other drama... maybe she's not good enough back then, but who knows in the future! those haters.... huh... pathetic. ? btw, Can't wait to see NJH !!

0ttoke Apr 22 2017 5:00 pm OMG! I'm SUPER excited for this! I've read the manhwa and I loved it so I can't wait to see how it's going to turn out!!

Jaan Apr 21 2017 12:39 pm Nam joo hyuk and shin se kyung will be cute together ..........looking foreword for it... Btw whn it get going ?

Allaiza Miranda Apr 20 2017 2:47 am OMO? I will wait for this kdrama ... I think I will really love it ?

Baekjana Apr 18 2017 7:06 pm Suuuuuper excited for this kdrama?????

khorleth Apr 17 2017 11:13 pm moon chae-won declined being the lead role? wae? such a waste I wanted to see her doing that drama *sad*

Lu Apr 17 2017 5:38 pm Gong Myung fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3333

Bela Apr 16 2017 1:46 pm sooooooooo~~ excited!!!!!! I love shin se kyung and cant wait for this drama cause the two lead roles are played by my two favourite actor and acress many are talking about it being a comic or somethong like that so im going to check that out, but sad that shin se kyung isnt so appreciated

Hana Apr 16 2017 9:55 am Y'all are hating on Shin Se Kyung before anything has even been released about the drama yet...pathetic. Anyways I loooove the cast. Krystal, Nam joo hyuk, and my big adorable baby Gong Myung..perfect?

Ty Apr 16 2017 9:49 am Omg Gong Myung I missed you since drinking solo!!! I can't wait!!!

Mrs.Raizel Apr 15 2017 8:36 pm I'm so curious about this drama... coz i love this comic... Oh God!!! Can't wait to release! ?

Hannah Apr 15 2017 1:59 am Will they follow the ending of this web comic?

Bang Apr 14 2017 12:54 pm I can't wait for the release date!!!! Nam Joo Hyuk!!!

Alice Apr 13 2017 9:37 pm I saw a video of a list of kdrama to look forward this 2017 and this was part of it, and the video shows a pic of Krystal while it says "So-A" Finding out that shin se kyung will be playing hmmm i dunno, her acting does not really impress many and when she guested in running man she's boring. I wish they could change the lead or have Krystal play it.

TBH Apr 09 2017 5:20 pm Oh my god ... I honestly don't like shin se kyung, what should I do ? I wanted to look at this drama but now... if you ask me why? I would just say look at fashion king, I really don't have word to say, she was expressionless... Bad actress...

Vid Apr 05 2017 10:19 am @Jimee...I'm too curious to know who is the child actor playing haebak during ...And I too couldn't find complete version of this manhwa...I read it before their announcement of making of this drama and was very happy by to know it's been made into a drama

JiMee Apr 04 2017 12:16 pm OMG! OMG!! OMG!! I just finished read this manhwa (tbh not actually finish till END because I couldn't find any complete translated TT,TT) I think this is the the best romance fantasy manhwa I ever read!! I became not mood because I can't read until END... I hope there are any translator finished it till end TT,TT

I'm really really really looking forward this drama!!! Tbh I'm a bit disappointed they changed Moon Chae Won.. I like her.. And who is HyeRa btw?? I'm curious who will take the roll the little HaBaek!!! >_<

veegemdoll Apr 03 2017 1:39 am IDK but this cast line up makes me nervous. Fighting, Nam Joo Hyuk!

Jenny Apr 01 2017 7:25 pm They should hv cast high end actress/actors for this!! Nam Jo Hyuk? Not bad.. but not good enough.. Shin Se Kyung? *deep sigh.. i dont know why im not impressed with her acting.. her personality in RM was worse.. i dont even know whether im gonna watch this or not.. love the manga tho.. ?

Nzr Mar 29 2017 5:20 am I hope, the story not about historical drama, want to modern drama

Bouchra siroua Mar 29 2017 1:37 am I heard this drama won't be played in a historical era but in modern days, I hoped that they just stick to the original manhwa but it will apparently be different

ToBeHonest Mar 25 2017 4:24 pm @Armiora...That's what it's said. She declined it.

Vianca mae Mar 25 2017 9:29 am When will it be aired this drama

lhove Mar 25 2017 1:57 am since its nam joo hyuk ,i will definitely watch this drama... the actress is also good in acting.. ive watched some of her dramas and she's a good actress also.. but still for me, i think it's much better if the actress is lee sung kyung... it's going to be fun to watch if that's the case...

dj Mar 24 2017 3:39 am No matter what others say im gonna watch this drama so cheer up and give you're best make those bashers eat what they said ^_^

miyuki Mar 22 2017 5:22 am can't wait to watch this. Hope this drama would be better than the manga.

Armiora Mar 21 2017 4:26 pm Moon Chae Won wasn't declined. SHE declined because she didn't want the roll! Learn to read people and have a little faith. Shin Se-kyung is a good actress.

Yue Mar 21 2017 1:37 am I was curious to see more of Nam Joo Hyuk's project after Weightlifting Fairy, but considering the female lead is Shin Se Kyung, I'm going to pass on this one. Shame, they could've cast a different actress if they couldn't get Moon Chae Won. Shin Se Kyung is just meh for me.

Beskamilia Mar 20 2017 11:25 am Wow i love all of the cast , i cant wait for this drama , when it is going to be realeased ?

Aecelle Mar 19 2017 8:59 am I don't feel the lead female actress. Why Moon chae won declined?! It would be much better if its moon chae won. or best lee sung kyung! :[

Ivana Mar 17 2017 5:48 am We want Lee Sung Kyung! We won't watch this if it:s Lee Sungkyung!

ya Mar 14 2017 5:31 am This drama's plot reminded me of a manga called "Suijin no Ikenie", with few differences.

mimallo Mar 14 2017 2:56 am just read 2 chapter of the comics, seems promising <3

Carol Mar 13 2017 3:38 am I personally loved the manga so I can't wait for the drama to start airing! So excited and the fact that Nam joohyuk is playing the lead makes it even better

minmin Mar 10 2017 9:24 pm i love namjoohyuk so much.

N Mi Daing Mar 06 2017 9:21 am Se-kyung Unnie !! I love her.I think her acting skill improves in " Sensory couple" and "Six flying dragons". I'm waiting to see her.

nev Mar 06 2017 4:14 am Shin Se Kyung the best

nev Mar 06 2017 4:12 am Shin Se Kyung Jjang so exited - when is the first reading????

BokJooNHyung Mar 06 2017 3:45 am Would be more exciting for me if it's lee sung kyung ??

XOXO Mar 05 2017 8:31 am Wow thanks i have been looking forward to when SHIN SE KYUNG will be cast again. Anticipating this drama. I think the main roles fit each other perfectly.

Lei Mar 05 2017 7:49 am The drama looks interesting but I wish they cast any other girl instead of Shin Se-Kyung.

Tan Mar 05 2017 7:46 am I am so tired w/ swag couple fans smh. Move on plz

Joanna Mar 04 2017 9:18 pm I don't recall Se Kyung much, even though I have watched dramas with her in it (probably a testament to the unremarkableness-- or just my memory), but she does come off to me as a little... ill-suited for this role. However, I do look forward to Joo Hyuk and how he manages to pull off such a character-- I only recall seeing him as slightly more upbeat characters.

Nana Mar 04 2017 11:53 am Is there any chance to change the female lead? so sad its her. not because i didn't like her but she just not the good choice. hopefully still can manage to change.

Ana-Maria Mar 04 2017 5:48 am OMG!!! I can*t believe that a manga I have read some time ago will transform in a korean drama!! I cant wait to see this!!

Greenluvs Mar 03 2017 12:49 pm I like the leads. It seems to me people complain about SSK out of habit by this point. Move on from WAML and FK, people! She played the roles in those dramas as they were written. It's the dramas themselves that sucked. She did an excellent job in "Girl Who Sees Smells" and "Six Flying Dragons."

Mina Mar 02 2017 3:19 pm OMG AMAZING!!!!!!! Love the cast, the plot and just everything about this drama! And please don't just comment hate and judge it like that when you haven't even seen it! Give it a chance because this drama seems to deserve it (And stop hating on Shin Se Kyung, she's a good & beautiful actress!! Spread love :) <3

Susan Mar 02 2017 11:03 am Why should Shin Se Kyung ??? Does Korea run out of better artists than Shin Se Kyung ???

Lovi Mar 01 2017 10:31 am Too bad its SSK. Bad choice. Better change!

Caijed Feb 28 2017 5:36 pm Utterly disappointed. Such a fan of this manhwa and I doubt these casting can do justice. NJH has his charms but I'm uncertain if he could pull this off but let's give him a chance. But for SSK.. **sigh** She can really cry but her facial expression doesn't change much. I'm like "Has she gone through excessive platic surgeries that her face muscles are all dead?" About the supporting characters, there are better actors and actresses too so why them? After my long wait, this is what I'm gonna get? **Sigh**

NOT WATCHING

Elly Feb 27 2017 7:42 am Please not shin se kyung..not her please..

anhrol Feb 27 2017 5:25 am Yaiii finally shin se kyung,,,with nam joo hyuk..cant wait...

_Helena_ Feb 27 2017 4:00 am KYAAHHH!!!! I Literary screamed the moment I learned that there will be a live-action series!!! For the people that are behind this drama : Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for making this dream a reality!!! Bride of the water god is my most favorite manga of all time, so I'm really hoping for a good show. Love lots!!!

Mileruichi Feb 26 2017 10:05 pm @shanta actually It did happen before.ji Sung X Hwang Jeum Eum Worked together on Secret as a couple and then again in Kill Me Heal Me

Mileruichi Feb 26 2017 10:02 pm I was one of those who didn't like shin se kyung's acting at all. But after seeing her in SFD she toally changed my mind. Not sure how is going to work the chemistry between both leads, but since I love this cartoon I Can't wait to see how this turns out

joan Feb 25 2017 10:29 pm hope more tv series to come nam joo hyuk ?

김연희 Feb 25 2017 9:25 pm I Hope Moon Chae Won eonniee..

Anya Feb 25 2017 11:15 am agree. hwaiting joohyuk & se-kyung. it's not hard to be respectful, don't like the cast? do not watch, no need to be offensive.

Juliet Feb 25 2017 11:10 am I will wait to see if its going to be good, i will not bash their acting because some comments are harmful and people seems to forget that actors are humans too, it hurts to see people bashing on your acting when they should try to accept or give a chance to see if you are improving. So please, try to support HUMANS because its their job, if you ever felt sad because of someone bashing your work, how those people must feel? Even more on South Korea where they are so much criticized.

nev Feb 25 2017 2:00 am @mimyoko since in kdrama a lot of viewers associate the ability of acting with the character - then yes you do need to know something about acting and although you do not need to be a professional to have an opinion you do need for evaluating and those of us who come from such a background have a better opinion about shin se kyung than a lot of other kactresses

mimyoko Feb 24 2017 9:37 pm @Chrissy don't need to be a professional to assume whether a cast is weak or not. That's like saying you need to be an artist to assess whether a painting is the best painting in the world or straight up trash. Just sayin'....

Keytie Feb 24 2017 2:05 pm Finally, we have the confirmed cast. I'm happy and excited for Nam Joo Hyuk for his new drama and i can't wait to see it. As for those who still insist that Lee Sung Kyung should be the lead, well in korean drama history, it is very rare that they repeat on screen pairing and though we ship LSK and NJH, we have to understand that they will be in different projects and all we have to do as their fans is to support their future endeavors. Before we judge the chemistry of the cast, we have to wait and watch it ourselves and show our love for joo hyuk oppa.

HiShou Feb 24 2017 7:27 am They finally have the cast finalized!!! I have been waiting for this for two months!!! Too bad Moon Chae Won declined :<

nev Feb 24 2017 5:39 am Shin Se Kyun such an outstanding actress can do any genre can into character body and spirit can do down to earth as well as ethereal just amazing

Chrissy Feb 24 2017 12:56 am @Hilda so you're professional on casting now? you should find a job on this then lmao.

dean Feb 24 2017 12:00 am the only acceptable actor here is Gong Myung. i mean i like nam joohyuk, krystal and shin sekyung, however i'm doubting their chemistry. nam joohyuk x krystal sounds alright, but joohyuk x sekyung? hope the producers would rethink about this cast, especially for soa's role

Hilda Feb 23 2017 11:13 pm What a weak cast... They can't act and they don't attract ratings either.

Hi Feb 23 2017 9:13 pm @shanta umm.. you're a joke tf

Indah Yosani Feb 23 2017 4:08 pm i will waiting for this drama? nam joo hyuk is the best

Lissa Feb 23 2017 3:44 pm i agree but do not call actors awful without watching the drama they can actually improve with time, don't be such close minded.

shanta Feb 23 2017 12:51 pm WLFKBG couple shippers could you just take a break from watching drama until you get over with the couple? or you can just watch that drama again. "please take Lee Sung Kyung as the lead role", have you ever seen 2 main lead actors acting in a different drama as the couple again within a 1 year gap?I'm sure you haven't because that's called a "comeback" which doesn't happen unless its been 3 or more years of pairing so please grow up!

As you can see on the title this is not Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo Part 2 but Bride of the Water God! we need classic couple not swag couple. just because we got Nam Joo Hyuk here you guys making a fuss which is damn annoying, we the real Manhwa fans are already disappointed with the casts, you "swag couple" shippers are putting salt on our injury.

shanta Feb 23 2017 12:28 pm The drama haven't even started but i'm already disappointed because of the casts. they should have taken moon chae won with another mature actor because the manhwa was too mature. but i'm still ok with Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung but Krystal makes wanna puke. just No, not her! this drama is already taking risk by prerecording but why take horrible actors like Krystal? its not a joke.

Sonam Choden Feb 23 2017 12:08 pm If Lee Sung Kyung took the female lead role then the drama could get many viewers as they are the swagggg couple and many people around the world are liking them very much and many ship them together.❤️

chocolate Feb 23 2017 7:49 am yoooo....waiting.....wen will it start????

Hoosier Feb 23 2017 7:47 am Nam joo hyuk and kim yoo jung would've been just perfect since both proved their performance during weightlifting fairy and love in the Moonlight I don't see any chemistry potential between him and shin se kyung but we'll see

DOHere Feb 23 2017 7:47 am the male lead doesn't fit the character :(

Leão Feb 23 2017 7:18 am I really like the cast. The lead role it's ok, I prefer Shin Se-Kyung than Moon Chae-Won, Moon Chae-Won is to much older! Shin Se-Kyung is 27 years old but she have that look and feeling younger that feet in the character So-A perfectly. And the Nam Joo-Hyuk is perfect too, he is so hot and awesome, I don't have any negative feeling about him! Krystal and Gong Myung for supporting roles are really a good choice too, Krystal have that stong personality and Gong Myung was really cute in his last drama, so for me, they feet the roles! I'm so excited for this drama, please come quick!!!!

Elijah Feb 23 2017 2:26 am I really like Kim Yoo Jung as So-A but it's okay Shin Se Kyung got the role. I like her acting in "the girl who sees smells", she's also cute...

Park Ra Feb 22 2017 5:52 am Lee Se young please make female lead role !

Aye Feb 22 2017 5:12 am So excited to see nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung as a couple. I think they cute couple and look so great together. Sorry my English so bad. It's so embarassing but i just want to give support to this drama.

jenny Feb 21 2017 12:40 am Why can't they offer Lee Sung Kyung to play the lead role with Nam Joo Hyuk?

Judy Feb 20 2017 8:50 am Kim Ji Won is perfect for Soah. Shin Won Ho fits the role of Hoo Yee. And Gong Myung for Tae El Jin. Please reconsider.

umichang Feb 20 2017 6:10 am Please I hope Kim Ji Won will take the role of soa! She fits the character so much! Who's with me?

geetoriya Feb 20 2017 3:37 am Nam Joohyuk, Shin Sekyung and Krystal are my babies!!! Aaaargh am looking forward to see this drama so badly ^3^

suk2014 Feb 20 2017 1:10 am After goblin, tvn drama quite flop nowadays.

dianaaa1 Feb 19 2017 11:16 pm I loved the manga so i was highly anticipated about the drama version. But alas seeing the rumored cast se-kyung joo hyuk ..... I'll definitely pass no offense

unknown Feb 19 2017 9:09 am and moon chae woon decline the offer. i hope lee suu kyung would be the lead female role

PointFul Feb 19 2017 7:11 am Why not these haters that make no sense shut up until a couple of episodes is aired? I have always been highly anticipating dramas with great cast because I believed they'll slay and kill their roles. Unfortunately, most of them disappoint. NJH has improved a lot already. Why not give him a chance? tvN makes impossible possible as much as possible, even defying age gap (Let's Fight Ghost).

Say it's ruined until it's ruined.

Donna Andrea Sallan Feb 19 2017 12:59 am I'm so exciteddddddd

Park chi Ra Feb 18 2017 12:18 am Please accept! I love you both, no matter the distance is far different ages. You must have good chemistry. I hope you become the best partner of the year. You are my favorite guys :)

a136 Feb 16 2017 5:32 pm I honestly have no problem with whoever the lead actress will be, so I'm just stopping by to support Nam Joo Hyuk - he is an amazing little sunshine that deserves the best

kei Feb 15 2017 10:10 pm Kim Yoo Jung!!

lalola Feb 15 2017 9:29 am kim ji won would be great as female lead??

kangsora4SO-A Feb 13 2017 9:18 am Since moon char won turned down the offer for so -a, it should be given to the beautiful kang sora or jeong EU gene from moorim school, these are middle aged girls that will be fit for the role, not some under aged girl or an ajuma. Jebal

leesoohyukfan Feb 13 2017 9:10 am Wish there would be room for nominations, I don't even know if they care to read our comments here, but pls in case this comment gets to them, I am strongly of the view that Lee so hyuk be given a chance in bride of the water god pls, am imagining him playing the role of habeakbin dis manwa drama cos its gonna fit him perfectly. Give him a try pls, TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

rochiko Feb 12 2017 10:14 pm it will be good if gianna jun will play soah's role, cos it fits her face teehe!

maniacchaos Feb 12 2017 12:37 pm okay, I'm a fan of this manhwa as well as a fan of both actors, its seems that just like previous few manhwa/webtoon drama, the writers of the drama change some parts of the story to fit the screen better. I'm fine with moon chae won as the lead when i can anticipate what type of soah she's going to act as. BUT NOT NAM JOO HYUK!!! (I'm seriously a die hard fan for him) i love habaek/mui character but NJH does not have the evil face that mui have XDD (seriously the evil yet handsome look). I'm fine with female lead but not the male lead. just change the male lead, give the usual evil actors a chance to act as an evil face bishounen XDD. age gap in the acting industry is just a small matter, dude there's like in reality grandpas with little girls married. its not like the actors are gonna marry each other, there are just ACTING!!!

STFU Feb 11 2017 11:04 am why all this hate? You're hating MCW and NJH just because they we're casted? really like really? It's so low don't you think haters? Whether they accep it or not lets just be happy okay? They were casted for a reason, if it will turn out great then good and if it would turn out bad then its not any of our lost. It's TVN's lost. So what we need now is seat back, relaxed and just wait for this drama to air. Then that's the time we critize things because really you didn't see anything yet but then you go juding. Just like what the saying goes "Don't judge the book by its cover" ????

itsme9 Feb 05 2017 8:33 am T.T I'm hoping the female lead would be Lee Sung Kyung. :3

kudos Feb 04 2017 11:41 am Pls. stop mentioning about goblin here before it creates a fanwar 'cause for sure a lot of people will compare this drama to that drama. Some people praise it too much while me ehhh!? ok next topic. so frustrated that they change the saeguk setting to modern setting like what the? the saeguk setting was the best part in the manhwa and they were to change the most beautiful part of the it. as a manhwa fan changing even a little thing in it would be like losing a part of me. I don't care if other's find it so funny but if you're a fan you would understand.

Mclovers Feb 04 2017 7:03 am Everyone has its own opinion..But you're being harsh to some actor which don't suit to your taste.. if it is the producer choice don't you think they don't study it carefully before they offer the role..If the cast don't suit you're taste then fine..Just don't watch it. Simple as that..Don't complain as if TVN owe you.. they put lots of money in this drama why demand your wants..Win or loose it was there choice ..Just be grateful and respect producers choice of casting in this drama..

really Feb 04 2017 3:58 am many protest because of age gap too big??? But many drama actor and actress have age gap and they still can acting together and give good chemistry. I will support this two lead!!!

kisscandy Feb 04 2017 3:47 am last year when goblin cast kim go eun many said she's not pretty~~ bla bla bla but the story and their acting superb!!! so the actor and the actress their choose to acting this drama based manhwa, please support it.

Ew Feb 03 2017 4:39 am MCW is good, but with a kid whose acting is below average? TVN must be drunk

alin Feb 03 2017 3:58 am kim ji won would be perfect choice for the female lead she is the only korean actress that fit the manhwa female image.i read though that they have completely change the story and the time of the original manhwa.i don't get it how could they do something like that in the first place?the manhwa is quite popular and have a loyal fanbase.lets hope for the best.

kdramaismydrug Feb 02 2017 5:47 pm Since someone commented Kim Ji Won. I hoped her and Kang Ha Neul :)

Athena Feb 02 2017 1:20 am Kang Dong Won and Kim ji won will be a perfect match for the main leads character for me. If only Won Bin isn't married he fits Habaek's character too. Tvn should really choose smartly the actor and actress to portray the characters or else it would be a disaster or maybe a flop since many people nowadays tend to criticize. Although I know we can only suggest ..it wouldn't reach tvn either but I somehow hope they will read and listen to netizens suggestion.well anyway goodluck to this drama.

Belle Jan 31 2017 11:01 am I hope they both decline the offer! specially the female lead. she looks so older than Nam joo hyuk. And neither of them justify the manhwa character

king yow Jan 29 2017 7:30 am I kinda think that Chae Won and Joo Hyuk will accept this because tvn makes such good dramas nowadays plus the fact that it's a popular manhwa but there's still a part of me hoping that both will decline the offer. They aren't the one I imagine portraying Habaek and Soah's character but if it's final already then let's just see how this will play out. If it's gonna be one of the best or one of the worst live action.

christine233 Jan 28 2017 6:38 pm i really want kim ji won...ethereal beauty,sharp face,pointy nose she is perfect for soah character and she can act..now for Ha Baek i can't think an actor that resembles him perfectly...

tirashine Jan 28 2017 6:36 am I love the Nam Jo hyuk, but I dont agree that she became his leading man. He looks younger than his female lead. less suitable if they are paired in this play they look like brother and sister. Perhaps this role more suited to take Lee Joon Gi or Byun Yo han :)

J-LYN Jan 28 2017 12:35 am For the main male lead, he should be mature, more like in his early or late 30's..the character is not suited for a male that in his 20's.. and for the female lead.. kim ji won resemble the female character in the manhwa.. im not against of moon chae won but just her face is not suited for the character ( just my opinion though ).. for the male lead actually, its just for me.. but SO JI SUB kinda pop up in my head because of his body..or KIM BUM :) or LEE JUN KI or JUNG IL WOO ( to bad he's in the army ) now that im thinking again.. KIM SOO HYUN is also okay for the role.. haha also TAECYEON..

i just hope whoever they get can really portray the characters.. :)

Pocco locco Jan 27 2017 1:53 am Kim yoo jung isn't suited for Soah I might bet YEH more /kim ji won / Ha ji won more.a mature actress. I'm ok with nam joo hyuk but i dont think he's suited for the sexy image of habaek with a dragon tatoo on his chest. I kinda want a fierce looking man for the male lead's role but I hope it wouldn't be LJK. Chang Wook or soo hyuk would suit more.

Habaek Jan 27 2017 1:42 am To those who wants a younger cast for this drama I advice you to read the manhwa first before mentioning the name you want. I know tvn wants their cast to be in 20's but they should really choose a mature leads because that's how the story goes. If they would change the story and do it like a young teenage love story then I wouldn't watch this even if I waited for ages for this to see into the tv screen... It will ruin the manhwa for me and I might say that they shouldn't have adapted this into a drama in the first place.

EhHyoHyoHyo Jan 26 2017 4:24 am I agree with the others, Nam Joo Hyuk has plenty of time to grow in this field. Pairing him with a seasoned actress like Moon Chae Won isn't fair. With actors like Byun Yo Han, Eric Mun, Hyun Bin and Lee Jin Wook, Nam Joo Hyuk has some time to go before he can match their talent. Anyone one of the aforementioned would do a great job alongside Moon Chae Won. With TvN, I expect the integrity of quality to be valued more than the next cool kid on the block. Beautiful faces are plentiful in the world, but great dramas are rare and remembered.

etincelle Jan 26 2017 1:41 am Oh no! Not nam joo hyuk. He is a rookie actor and his is acting is so bad. On top of that he looks like a mama-school little boy. If ever NJH accepts this role, please MCW, refuse this work, you are too talented to work with rookie actors

vanessa Jan 25 2017 10:48 am i really wanted to see kim ji won and lee soo hyuk as leads they have the right visuals...but i am glad on the other hand that they are not because they have completely change the storyline of the original manhwa....hope to see them together on a project in the future!

winter Jan 25 2017 5:20 am The cast really bad for the roles. I love this manhwa I am very disappointed. the best choice for the role is lee joon gi or park hea jin.

praise Jan 24 2017 12:10 pm Jung eun ji resembles the manhwa drawing & moon chae won is 2 30 ,well I think the writer changed the age description , nam did improve in wlkbj ,hope he does well ,who knows ,surprise .

kisscandy Jan 24 2017 5:34 am their gap only 8 years, so it will be okay, many drama have big gap also, but their still can act together so I really hope they both accept the role peace!!!

vid92 Jan 24 2017 4:28 am i like both nam joo hyuk and moon chae won actually i like them in their other projects , but i think njh will suit as moei/habaek during night with that physique but acting and chemistry with MCW who is much older than her...i doubt and MCW i dont think she could fit in soah's role it should be given to younger actress and i like her acting....and waiting to know whch child actor will play habark during day!!!!

Han Jan 24 2017 12:28 am Really disappointed by the fact that the male lead is Nam Joo-Hyuk (wtf, this is going to ruin one of my favorite manhwa). He lack so much. This should not be another idol drama!!

Bouchra siroua Jan 23 2017 10:47 pm Are they serious about this cast?? I love both of them and especially moon chae won but if they accept the offer i'll just pass! I don't want my favorite manhwa to be ruined because of stupid producers! I'm quite sure that the one who recommend this two did never read the manhwa! Otherwise he won't suggest someone who is 33 to play the role of soah! And a baby boy like nam joo hyun to play habaek/mui

katie48b4 Jan 23 2017 7:59 pm I get it that NJH is charming, good looking, kinda famous now a days and not to mention has great body structure but that isn't enough in order for him to justify Habaek's role... I really can't picture him on portraying that role. I tell you this mr. or ms. casting director knowing Moon Chae Won's ability on her craft, she will surely eat him (NJH) alive...he's way off par with MCW's acting, please reconsider to give this lady a more deserving leading man that she can go head to head on with her acting talent...

tirashine Jan 23 2017 7:26 pm OMG!! Nam Joo Hyuk.. Moon Chae Won please accept! I love you two guys one my favorite .

pixelsticks Jan 23 2017 2:09 pm If Moon Chae-Won, then offer the male lead to LEE JOON GI. He can handle the strong dramatic acting and desires a modern role. He has worked in Jung Yoon-Jung written dramas before (Arang). tvN would be a great fit for him. And he looks great wet!

cutechloe Jan 23 2017 11:05 am Seriously I like both nam joo hyuk and moon chae won but frankly I worry about them paired up together of both of then really accept the offer. Plus the story line seems to be better fit for elder male lead and younger female lead. Well may be the writer going to change the story to something different since they cast these actors for the characters.

Dwinda Jan 23 2017 8:50 am I think Moon Chae Won is capable as the lead female role, great actress. But for the lead male role....... nam joo hyuk, well.... you should find another actor who has great acting.

Ara Jan 23 2017 8:40 am I'm not sure about this pairing. The age gap worrying me.

Kdfan Jan 23 2017 8:16 am I like moon chae won but why is the male lead nam joohyuk jyuk! ! Someone else please

jjw Jan 23 2017 4:53 am I love Moon Chae Won and I've been looking forward to her comeback but why the heck the male lead has to be Nam Joo Hyuk??! I hope chaewon save herself because it doesnt seem Nam joohyuk will back off this role. He's so greedy to take lead role here and there when his acting skill is so bad. Still remember his awkward acting on ep 1 of weighlifting fairy in scene of his head hurts. Its so bad that i have to drop the drama right away.

Marilyn Ongkiko Jan 23 2017 3:54 am Both actors fit the roles, visually and acting capabilities. Will wait for this show. I hope soon.

Biscuit Jan 23 2017 3:16 am I'd love to see Nam joo hyuk play this role. His acting had greatly improved in Weightlifting fairy to be honest people should give him a chance, but I wish the age difference between the leads wasn't so much here. Sometimes it looks awkward when the lead actress much older

NoHate Jan 23 2017 3:07 am I Love Nam Joo Hyuk and he is currently my ideal type but I love Moon Chae Won more. I dont know how their chemistry would work out but I like to see what will be the come out. Who knows? Their chemistry might turn out great. but i really wish to see Chae won with Kim Soo Hyun or Ji Chang Wook ???

IS Jan 23 2017 3:06 am Moon chae won??? Oh no!!!

Evergreen Jan 23 2017 2:37 am No, not a flower boy. Put a good actor like So Ji Sub or Ji Chang Wook, not a rookie like Nam Joo Hyuk please

lessie Jan 23 2017 1:48 am Yoo jung and joo hyuk. These will be a good catch. Please change the leading lady. KYJ for the leading role <3

kevin Jan 23 2017 1:43 am Give to yoo jung the female lead role

woobin Jan 23 2017 1:42 am Kim yoo jung is really a good actress. Give her the leading role.

Julia Jan 23 2017 1:24 am It's so annoying to see Nam joohyuk is everywhere when his talent and acting skills isn't even half good. A lot of idol actors even act much better than him.. Siwan, Hyungsik, Jinyoung B1A4 and GOT7 and Sungjae. I've given him chance enough since School 2015 but his acting is nowhere to be deserving even a rookie award. Go improve your acting some more before taking a lead role or just stick to modelling!

fera Jan 22 2017 10:31 pm nam jo hyukkkk <3 really happy to see you in drama again . i really like you in wiightlifting kim bokk joo , fighting oppa <3

noodle Jan 22 2017 10:07 pm I don't like the lead male since his drama school 2015, I like the female lead though. I hope he decline it and get a better actor to do the job.

Lexi Jan 22 2017 10:04 pm I was worried because a lot of people were wishing to see NJH-KYJ pairing for this drama before...and also I heard that the web toon seems to have a lot of seductive scenes but I'm glad that she is saved from this pairing and this drama thank god! She is still young, some fans please be considerate of her age you can't just be greedy and throw your casting dream everywhere.

But condolences for MCW fans. This drama is from Misaeng scriptwriter and it was broadcasted in tvN, so I think it will be a great opportunity for MCW to come back after big slump of Goodbye Mr Black. I can see their chemistry because even though MCW is a noona, she still looks so young and petite while NJH is really tall and looks manly but...yeah acting skills...

Let's just hope NJH's acting is improving lot since Weighlifting Fairy Kim Bokjoo and enough to portray this role. Good luck! ^_^

No chill Jan 22 2017 8:55 pm Nam Joo-Hyuk get a lot of lead roles because he is handsome, hot maybe, tall, and a good swimmer. But his acting is whatever. I'm excited for Moon Chae-won but if NJH being shameless accepting this role with his mediocre acting skill, then imma pass.

TJ Jan 22 2017 8:46 pm Moon Chae Woon is great actress but the male lead...Meh. he should stick to model not acting so sorry he's just handsome,FYI this drama will air september same as "While You Were Sleeping"

tami Jan 22 2017 8:43 pm Moon chae won ??? I miss you. Comeback dramaland w/ this interesting drama pls ?

Stop Jan 22 2017 8:37 pm poor moon Chae won I hope they change male lead. Nam Joo Hyuk's acting is not enough to portray this role. He is harmless in small roles and rom com roles but not for this. He has a lot need to be improved. Nam Joo Hyuk I like u but pls not be greedy and take this lead role. Learn step by step from small role. Your acting in WFKBJ still awkward at times. A lot. Yook sungjae is much better actor than NJH but recently in interview, he was asked what kind of roles u wanna try in future but he said he don't want to be greedy and wanna learn more from variety of small roles. He said that when I think he's ready for lead role material already since his acting is so good. So pls learn from him!

Water God's bride Jan 22 2017 5:12 am Most wants KYJ to portray Soah but for me I object. I have nothing against her and I don't hate her either but she's young for this drama. If you have read this manhwa you should know BOTWG is an adult love story with so many seductive and sexy scenes and I don't want tvn to remove that due to age issue. I already let it slide for Moonlight Drawn by clouds even tho' they removed love scenes because of KYJ but not for this one. I hope tvn will cast an adult actress to portray Soah. I have faith in tvn's choice. Pls. let this be 1 of a memorable drama in 2017 because this is my favorite manhwa of all time and I waited for so long for this to have a live action...and as a fan you want the best for BOTWG...

Djsherahz Jan 21 2017 8:20 am Please please kim yoo jung for the lead actress..

aine Jan 19 2017 5:17 pm I don't think Kim Yoo Jung is fit for this, I think she's too young. This manhwa, I think is somewhat matured for someone like Kim Yoo Jung. Maybe 20's and above can fit in this role.

tuo Jan 19 2017 6:39 am kim ji won can act and looks like soah!!plz anyone but not underage little girls again.....

bea25 Jan 18 2017 11:52 pm Kim Yoo Jung for the female lead please... I'm very curious the amount of chemistry that she and Nam Joo Hyuk will display on the small screen...

cutechloe Jan 16 2017 7:54 am nam ji hyun should be good fit for female lead too. when will the leading actor and actress, the casts be finalised? really too excited to wait for it!

Swagcouple?❤ Jan 12 2017 11:59 am Hope Lee Sung Kyung will get the role and paired up again with Nam Joo Hyuk. Their chemistry is daebak. It may be seem impossible in Korean Drama to be paired up again, but at least we are hoping them to reunite again in drama.????

kimchi Jan 12 2017 7:51 am Hope Kim Yoo Jung willbe the main female role. Wanna see the chemistry between Nam Joo Hyuk and Kim Yoo Jung.

Nicole Jan 12 2017 4:59 am I want Lee Sung Kyung to be have the main female role because Nam Joo Hyuk and Lee Sung Kyung are dating in reality. So why not. Their chemistry would be way better!!

Bella Jan 12 2017 12:48 am I want kim yoo jung as female lead in drama because i want to watch chemistry joo hyuk & yoo jung

F Jan 11 2017 6:53 pm I would love to see Kim Yoo Jung in a fantasy drama! Really curious how Nam Joo Hyuk and KYJ would be together :)

Night Jan 11 2017 5:44 pm I cannot wait to watch this!! I've read most of the manhwa, and I love it. Please make it good ^.^

JEBAL Jan 11 2017 3:27 am LEE SUNG KYUNG has literally shown how versatility works! I SWEAR TO THE OLD GODS AND NEW! this role might even get me into another realm if sung kyung for soah happens. please tvn #tvn i've never seen such a genuine chemistry exists in the real world not until i watched weightlifting fairy. now im flipping desperate. im gonna be shook or might as well be depressed if this won't happen :(((

or does seo kang joon fits the lead role too? or min jae or seo in guk or ugh please push sung kyung to be soah. she's dope. versatile like a sewing machine. and all in all. incredibly talented. i am her so yeah! make it!

amen.

Nuu Jan 11 2017 1:11 am I want Joohyuk with Sungkyung or Yoojung. Kim Sohyun would be nice too!!!

Yuva Jan 10 2017 11:49 pm I like this manhwa so much. Please don't make me disappointed because they say it will not in the historical story but modern story. I hope that will be the only one change. Don't change the other please. I love Mui (Habaek) so much. Don't ruin Habaek image please

Icha Jan 10 2017 1:20 pm Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk please~ ♡♡

WANDA Jan 10 2017 12:27 pm Oh they are making a drama of this I started reading it, but never finished still not sure how the whole sacrifice stuff will work.

Fiq Jan 10 2017 8:07 am Kim yoo jung and joo hyuk PLEASE and kwak dongyeon as the second guy

Alysson Jan 09 2017 6:15 pm Kim yoo jung and nam joo hyuk!!!!

Bok joo shi Jan 09 2017 8:27 am Nam joo hyuk n lee sung kyung please

Bok joo Jan 09 2017 7:53 am Nam joo hyuk n lee sung kyung please

Baechuuu Jan 09 2017 7:21 am Lee Sung Kyung for the role of Soah please ?

HiShou Jan 09 2017 4:04 am The more I read the manhwa the more confused I am as to how can they possibly change the setting to modern time.

Kim Bok Joo Jan 08 2017 11:13 pm Nam Joo Hyuk ♥ Lee Sung yung !! Please !!

Hasi Jan 08 2017 7:47 pm If Nam Joo-Hyuk accepts this role, the female should be either of his age of younger preferably as he has a very cute young face, the female lead must match to have good chemistry. Just my opinion. I think Gong Seung-yeon would perfectly fit the role. Anyways hope for the best.

#TVN PLEASE Jan 08 2017 11:17 am lee sung kyung has shown how versatility works on the table! this role might get me in another galaxy if happens. please tvn #tvn i've never such a genuine chemistry exists in the real world not until i watched weightlifting fairy. now im flipping desperate. im gonna be shook if this won't happen :(((

Ami Jan 08 2017 11:07 am Omo kim yoo jung please ❤️❤️❤️❤️

swagcouple Jan 07 2017 12:44 am Mr director.,,,if nam joo hyuk is a male leas in this drama. can u let lee sung kyung become a female lead in this drama..their chemistry was sooo great..pleasssee.

Marie Jan 06 2017 7:10 pm If NJH is the lead star, please let the female lead be Lee Sung Kyung again. I really love their chemistry in WLFKBJ. =) Didn't like his chemistry with his previous partners. Eyes seem dead & emotionless compared to when he is with LSK. =)

cutechloe Jan 06 2017 11:18 am oh Shim Eun-Kyung will be a good candidate for the lead female too!

cutechloe Jan 06 2017 11:08 am if nam joo hyuk really becomes the leading actor in this drama, kim yoo jung or kim so hyun will look good with him. since kim so hyun is casted for 'ruler: master of the mask' so this option is out. kim yoo jung is really having busy schedule recently, doubt if she will accept even if the role is offered to her... hope they faster finalising the casts and schedule, can't wait ^_^

Kdrama lover Jan 06 2017 4:24 am Kim yoo jung and do kyung soo please

Awanda27 Jan 06 2017 2:24 am I hope that the lead actor for this drama is nam joo hyuk!

cutechloe Jan 05 2017 4:21 am i really like nam joo hyuk and wish to see him again with a successful work. i never read the comic and dont really know the story so i cant imagine how nam joo hyuk portrays this leading character. i do read some comments below about nam joo hyuk kind of not suitable for such character so i am a bit worry too. however, its up to the him and the agency to consider and decide. anyway if he does accept the offer, i am looking forward. it may seem not mapped to the character but who knows he can make it awesome and prove his acting? good luck!!!

tami Jan 04 2017 7:50 pm I think he does'nt suit habaek or mui charactera. I am big fan of this manhwa. So i don't want tvN ruin this drama!!!!!!! Mui is cool, misterious and strong characters. Sexy tho So why you cast a person with cute smile and warm aura? -_- But whatever i will watching this drama whoever the cast. So goodluck nam joo hyuk ?

CrayCray Jan 04 2017 10:24 am I hope that the lead actress is Nam Joo Hyuk, they really have good chemistry on screen.

Vienna Jan 03 2017 11:00 pm I'm kinda not rooting for NJH. I really want see JCW in this. But if NJH confirm the role, hope he can show us acting improvement. I'm curious for female cast

jaide Jan 03 2017 10:51 pm yaayyy Nam Joo Hyuk! I wish he will accept the offer. And I wish Lee Sung Kyung will be the lead actress too. I want them to be paired forever haha

minnysab Jan 03 2017 12:08 pm JH should accept the offer he can nailed it. I started reading the manhwa since 2012 and still ongoing. I hope they can find a good lead girl like a little bit matured because she will face a lot of trouble as the story goes.. I hope it will be good! coz' the manhwa is really daebak!!

abilash Jan 03 2017 11:53 am jung eunji plssss

Martin J Simwaba Jan 03 2017 10:35 am I hope he agrees, i love him so much in weightlifting fairy Kim Bok Ju

myxblush Jan 03 2017 8:13 am Kim Ji Won pair with him then. I was hoping for Kim Soo Hyun + Han Hyo Joo. Don't think that's gonna happen...

Keiko Jan 03 2017 7:31 am Han hyo joo please!

Bouchra siroua Jan 03 2017 3:42 am I really love nam Joo hyuk, but also as a huge fab of the manhwa, I don't think he will fit the role habaek! :/ :/
