In fact, you stupid viewers, the high priest was there the whole time watching over Habaek. It's almost ridiculous how the high priest shows up at the end to reveal Habaek fulfilled his (completely bogus) mission to discover the reason for hiding the divine stones in the human world and therefore doesn't need So-ah's wish to return to the heavenly world.
We don't get to see many heavenly beings, except for our crowd faves chillin' on Earth with the divine stones (which, btw, didn't serve any purpose or possess any power at all). I know taking away Habaek's powers moves the story along (otherwise, why would he even need So-ah in the first place?), but I just think it was a missed opportunity. Habaek holds unimaginable power.but we only get two glimpses of that power when he saves So-ah's life, twice. Did he enter the human world 13 years ago, or was it before? Is this the only human identity he's had so far? What ever happened to that mark that transferred to his body when Joo-dong was struck by lightning? Was Joo-dong ever going to get that back? Also, his entire backstory was giving me a headache. He finally backed off from pursuing So-ah, but after 15 episodes of him challenging Habaek, it wasn't any fun to see him be the nice guy. His character's lackluster episode 16 ending was super unsatisfying. Hoo-ye had a good few episodes where he embraced his evilness and confronted Bi-ryeom, and then immediately spun wildly out of control and needed So-ah to bring him back from a self-loathing precipice. Just seeing Moo-ra and Bi-ryeom walk off arm-in-arm in their characteristic love-hate manner was the cherry on top of an otherwise fast-paced ending.Ī few points really stuck out to me during that rushed episode 16 finale: At some point during all the melodrama, I was more interested in the secondary love story between Moo-ra and Bi-ryeom, which isn't good news for our main couple, but it did make for a satisfying ending for those two. Krystal's turn as Moo-ra was a great casting choice. I thought his co-star Shin Se-kyung was making the biggest effort, and her character's constant crying and wallowing honestly balanced his wooden-board delivery. Setting aside the drama giving him the cheesiest lines, he did a great job of convincing me he couldn't act. I was actually so disappointed that most of his acting was really straight-faced and stoic. He was absolutely adorable in that, and I was expecting him to steal the show in Bride of the Water God. I had high expectations for this drama, as Nam Joo-hyuk effectively made everyone and their mom fall for him hard in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo. A beautiful and famous actress, Moo Ra has a one-sided love with Habaek and understandably dislikes his wife.īi Ryeom (Gong Myung of 5urprise and Drinking Solo) is a wind god who secretly loves Moo Ra and holds a grudge against the man that she loves. Moo Ra (f(x) and Heirs’ Krystal Jung) is a water goddess. A CEO of a resort, Hoo Ye also happens to fall in love with So Ah and therefore becomes Habaek’s main rival. Hoo Ye (Im Ju Hwan from Uncontrollably Fond) is a demigod. So when she meets a man who claims to be the legendary water god and who expects her to serve him, her diagnosis is that he is simply delusional. However, So Ah is a realist with no time for superstition. Her family is allegedly cursed to serve the gods forever. She has her own practice, but she is also buried in debt. When the god of water descends upon Earth and seeks the help of his destined bride, he first has to convince her that he isn’t a delusional maniac. Nam Joo Hyuk ( Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, Scarlet Heart: Ryeo) and Shin Se Kyung ( Six Flying Dragons) star in a modern retelling of a supernatural romance. The drama’s original broadcast period is from Jto Augon tvN. The Bride of the Water God is a modern take on the popular historical fantasy manhwa Bride of the Water God. Re-watch value: 2 out of 5 stars Synopsis
