It’s now looking like a one-two and three punch for the upcoming K-drama adaptation of manhwa Bride of the Water God, done with a twist of course. The adaptation announced last year that the screenwriter of Misaeng, and Arang and the Magistrate, was adapting the original source material. Later on came the addition of the PD of Nine: Nine Times Time Travel and Queen In Hyun’s Man as the vision behind the camera. Now is the third good news with Moon Chae Won considering the offer to be the titular Bride of the Water God, opposite the already confirmed casting of Nam Joo Hyuk as the Water God in question. The story is being moved from the fantasy ancient times era to modern Seoul so it’ll be interesting to see the cohesive vision beyond the leads bringing the two-dimensional characters to life.

If she says yes to the offer, this would be the best drama for me in 2017.
hmmmm, let us just wait and see
I am not sure lol,but if the 1st episode is awesome,and solid till the end episode (like goblin). And I Still want lee soo hyuk as habaek. Lol
Is Nam Joo Hyuk actually confirmed for the role??
No
Moon chae won is lovely and talented but she doesn't look like the manhwa character....hmmm
agree
I hadn't heard that NJH had actually been confirmed. I am one of those that was rooting for him when he got Weightlifting, but I don't know about this one. The writer is solid and has experience with fantasy so hopefully they get the right people for the roles.
Beautiful pairing... looking forward to this if confirmed!
I think NJH always get a character that revolve around water ^___^ not that i complain coz i can see him shirtless kekeke. I'm sorry to be out of topic.
Yes. Its confirmed. In fact he was confirmed a long time ago. Its just that when the news finally broke, to allay netizens who almost always cries foul when rookies or idols are used, YG back pedalled. He defintely needs a strong actress to hold it together and MCW is a good candidate for sure.
So MCW can be dragged down by him and it's no problem.
how will MCW be dragged down? Why are you so negative?? She is an actress and she will get paid if she accepts this drama, regardless of the ratings. What is your problem here?? Can't believe these haters!!
She could decline if she has an issue with it.
She was with an actor of her caliber in her last project Goodbye Mr Black and the drama was still a flop...
She should be happy to get this offer from a strong screenwriter and PD.
Nam Joo Huyk is cast because of his swimming skills...As the title of the drama suggests, this is a drama will probably requires a lot of scenes under water...And he's got the physique for that...perfect I would say...
Besides that, I have no problem at all with his acting.
I really hope he accepts the role, this is an incredible opportunity for him.
If people have a problem with his casting, just skip the drama instead of being so overtly negative.
we've seen over and over again that strong cast does not necessarily equal success and being an ok actor (or a starting actor) in a well written and directed drama can be a hit.
2 examples: Hyde Jekyll and I: Hyun Bin who is an A list actor couldn't get even 5% ratings for the drama despite his amazing acting.
and Boys Over Flower: Lee Min Ho. He was a nobody when he got that role and we all know what happened to him and the drama.
So please people stop whining before the drama even aired...you don't know the vision of the PD and the screenwriter and nobody is forcing you to watch...
peace!
Is he already confirmed? Do you have Link?
...I lowkey want China to make the drama version. The costumes and scenery would've been beyond breathtaking. I don't think Korea has ever successfully translated a manhwa or webtoon onto the small screen.
Yes, I understand your sentiment and I am 100% agree with you
also this manhwa's main allure is its art. most people want to see the gorgeous art come to life. by making this modern its kinda lowering expectations for the drama
agree. I hope the cinematography can really showcase the beauty and costumes of the manhwa... with a beautiful cast...
I never thought of it but China would definietly bring it
I like Moon Chae Won, but I can't see her as the female lead of this manhwa
