Relationship Chart and Teasers for "Bride of the Water God"

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

The story revolves around two central characters who each represent a different world: Nam Joo Hyuk from the world of the gods and Shin Se Kyung from the world of humans. Nam Joo Hyuk plays the water god Habaek who finds himself in the human world in 2017, while Shin Se Kyung plays a neuropsychiatrist named So Ah whose fate is to serve the gods. In the map, the relationship between them simply says, “You thought they were just a master and servant, right?” Habaek’s brief character description also reveals that he is 2800 years old and a god that can take the form of animals, as opposed to a heavenly god. He is also described as the next king of the gods.

f(x)’s Krystal plays Moo Ra, a goddess who is living in the world of mortals as a top actress. She is the same type of god as Habaek and the map reveals that he feels a deep and lasting friendship for her while she treats him as both a childhood friend and a liegelord-vassal relationship that goes “almost as deep as love.” Her character description states that she is 2800 years old and seeks worship from human beings. Her relationship with So Ah is described as “trying to ignore her with an effort, jealous, and wary.” Gong Myung plays Bi Ryeom, a heavenly god who is also 2800 years old and described as a “troublemaker.” He has a bickering relationship with Moo Ra since they are childhood friends. His relationship with Habaek is also described as childhood friends but also liegelord-vassal. His relationship with So Ah in both directions is described only as “cloudy.” Finally, there is Im Joo Hwan, who plays Shin Hoo Ye. He has no relationship ties to anyone else and is described as a businessman with a face from the gods.

Remaining supporting characters also have no relationships mapped out but are accompanied by short character descriptions. Nam Soo Ri (played by Park Gyu Sun) will be the comedic relief character who throws himself into waiting on Habaek hand and foot as his attendant, while Yoo Sang Yoo (played by Shin Jae Hoon) is a nurse at So Ah’s hospital with no sense of tact and too-blunt honesty. Choi Woo Ri plays So Ah’s best friend, Jo Yeom Mi. Shin Ja Ya is So Ah’s former schoolmate, while Shin Dong Man is her wealthy grandfather and uncle to Shin Hoo Ye. Jin Gun is described as a mysterious “lower-ranked god” who is Bi Ryeom’s subordinate and shadow.

“Bride of the Water God” will premiere on July 3

I haven't been able to find the 5 minute preview with subs, so this video is unsubbed but still worth a watch

lmao

Who else is watching this? I'm going to make discussion posts, it's been a while since we've had a fun mess of a drama to watch together.

I'm going to watch this, but I feel like it's going to be terrible. However, I think it was a good idea that they seem to be going the comedic route to make the drama enjoyable.

[by-venoms-sting.livejournal.com]

Yeah this show seems like it has the potential to be a mess so I'm mainly watching it because I feel like lots of other people are going to be watching (a lot of the time I enjoy talking about shows more than I like watching them lol) and it could be messy yet entertaining (like Missing Nine until the last episode).

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

lol, that's why I'm excited for this show, just to complain about it with other people. I'll forever be angry at that last ep of Missing Nine, it was so fun before the WTF of the ending.

I love what he wears as the water god.. why can't this take place in the world of gods.. >_> and 2800 actually seems kinda young for a god..

"f(x)’s Krystal plays Moo Ra, a goddess who is living in the world of mortals as a top actress"

i believe it tbh

[xxmannequin.livejournal.com]

Watching this, I'm expecting it to be bad, but at the same time I'm praying it won't be as bad as Hwarang :///

[jaelissi.livejournal.com]

*throws salt over this comment*

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

i am so excited for this. these historical dramas just suck me in no matter how cheezy and complicated they are.

[hibaalhadid.livejournal.com]

I'll watch it for fun, lets do this

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

It's gonna be trash. I can't wait!

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

When I saw this pop up on dramafever, I got super excited because it sounded like the premise had the potential to either be really good or really bad, and I was leaning towards the really bad side. I'm definitely going to give this a try.

[citzera.livejournal.com]

I'm going to start this with absolutely 0 expectations and hope for the best..
Hopefully it'll be better than average but we'll see.
I'll camp out in the discussion posts tho!

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit cautious about this but let's see how it goes.

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

Im gonna watch it!!

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

I love the theme so maybe Ill watch. The explanation of Krystal character tho, I had to re-read since it sounds like a fan explanation of her lmao

[callherblondie.livejournal.com]

I will be bc of Im Joo Hwan. I would follow that man to hell tbh lol. And this show might possibly be as bad as hell bc lbr I hated Uncontrollably Fond but I stuck with it for Im Joo Hwan.

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

He deserves much better roles than he gets, I'm bitter he's stuck playing second leads to lesser actors. I adored him in What's Up and he hasn't gotten a lead since then and I'm sad.

[callherblondie.livejournal.com]

ITA. I think he did have a lead role in some show w/Kang Sora that was one of those daily shows with like a million eps, but I didn't watch it bc...I'm not really a Kang Sora fan. :/

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

As long as its not as horrible and terrible as Scarlet Heart tbh.

Its enjoyable to watch messy show but when it crossed the lines (aka SH) and left you frustrated and mad, then I will want to stay far far away from it. I love myself too much so I'm not going to do the same mistake again. :P

[fritterish.livejournal.com]

Is SSK that bad of an actress? All I see on twitter is that this show's gonna be automatically bad because of her. Anyway I'll be watching for Krystal.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

lmao anyone who says the show will be bad bc of her must be a njh/krystal fan. she's better than both of them

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

She's gotten much better over the last few years, I really don't think she's going to be the problem in this drama haha

[baekpedaling.livejournal.com]

That long blue hair <3

[365daysafter.livejournal.com]

Read what happened at the end of the manga, glad I stopped reading it a while ago

Let's hope it's more interesting than the manga

[jaeslurpy.livejournal.com]

i'll probably be watching this. it looks like it has some funny moments which is probably what will suck me in.
