• LOL, can't they just use gorgeous hanbok like the original manhwa? And that hair... Not even the water God could save the mess.

• Lol the makeup is pretty awful too... They could've gone for understand, regal, instead they went for ott cartoonish style

• OMG I have never want to curse the drama gods as much as I do right now. What in the world is with the hair and the horrendous feathers..and the makeup is just pale skin and a ton of eyeliner. Is the Water God suppose to look like a goddamn peacock and got lost after taking a dive in the water. The costume design just looks so tasteless and cheap. URGHH the frustration

  • wtf are you a blind hater?? lmao. Looking at it, that actor NJH fits the Water god role, he looks ethereal, his got pretty face for a man, suits the lesser god or angelic or spiritual being drama roles, he looks yummy yum yum lol.

    • Agreed

• His makeup is terribly awful!! Yikes :-( I don't feel like watching this drama now.... I may try only because of IJH if he can get more screentime than what's shown on the preview

  • Hahaha I know right..all of that effort would have been spared if you swap the roles..to me actually IJH actually has the Godlike visuals they are looking for, tall facial ethereal features can be just a little with good makeup withput going over like this on IJH and voila we have Ha Back.he has more onscreen charisma and more chemistry with SSK than NJH just from the teasers and behind the scenes alone aigoo?.

    NJH seem to be more comfortable with Krystal based on behind the scene and press conference.He should have been the human but handsome role IJH is playing since he looks better without the wig and Clown makeup.

    Or better still the director wanted to cast young upcoming or underrated actor.Then Lee Soo Hyuk was still the best choice for this..No need for the ridiculous wig and makeup..just give him a gorgeous hanbok and give him back his Gwi Hair but straighten it nicely.Perfect Habaek.Acting is decent enough..The voice already fit for a god character.He can be dark and sexy without even trying.NJH is trying to lower and have a booming voice from the teaser, it sounded a bit ummm weird..while LSK that's his natural voice..anyway let's wait and see..all the best BOTWG!!!

    • Muahahahahaha.. I miss Gwi.

  • Yes totally!! I wish IJH can be Habaek...

• Gosh!!!! The designer and stylist need to take a look at Three smiles Peach Blossom for fantasy styling which is done right. Less is more... :-(.

  • The styling in Eternal Love/Peach Blossoms is actually similar to the look of the characters in the original Bride of the Water God manhwa. Ah what could have been.

• I think it was right for the production team to move it into a modern setting. K-dramas do not have the budget like C-dramas to make fantasy series NOT look cringe-worthy.

• Seeing that wig was just the laugh I needed after an annoying day!! ITS SO TERRIBLE ???????WHY??!!! It looks like they just pulled it out of the Party City bag and plopped it on his head without even shaking it out!! ???????? Amazing.

• Looks like they were just trying to make him look more like a woman than a water god??? This whole production has made me side-eye TVN but Circle and Forest of Secrets have restored some of my faith in the network.

• The 5 minute trailer got me laughed so hard due to his monologue alone. It's so funny lol (and not in a good way).

• IMO I don't think that is bad actually it fits and he looks alright for me anyways

  • I kind of like it too. But-to each his own.
