Cast of Half-baked Drama Adaptation of Bride of the Water God Attend Wrap Party

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 24, 2017 by ockoalaAugust 23, 2017
Group of four stylish individuals outdoors.

Lightning in a bottle is impossible to replicate and even trying something similar in genre is a risky move to make the comparisons all the more stark. tvN finished airing the K-drama adaptation of fantasy manhwa Bride of the Water God this week and the entire thing went down like me munching on a bag of somewhat stale potato chips … Continue reading →

K-ent Remarks on tvN Drama Trend of Male Leads with Godly Abilities Taking Over for Chaebol Types

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 9, 2017 by ockoalaJuly 8, 2017
Two male actors smiling at events.

The Korean media has noted the similarity of recently premiered tvN’s Bride of the Water God with the network’s last big hit drama Goblin, namely on the trend of creating powerful male leads with godly abilities and good looks. OSEN recently wrote about how the cable network is leading the charge with what may become a trend in male leads … Continue reading →

Nam Joo Hyuk Trades in Laughable Fantasy for Modern Good Looks in New Stills and Preview for Bride of the Water God

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 29, 2017 by ockoalaJune 29, 2017
Four characters in distinct styles and settings.

Nam Joo Hyuk was one of those who made it out alright in the hot mess K-drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo, looking a dash more modern as the 13th prince but still suitably decked out. He should be the most relieved that the upcoming drama adaption of manhwa Bride of the Water God moved the setting from the fantasy … Continue reading →

Bride of the Water God Releases Moody Drama Poster Contrasting with Slapstick Episode 1 Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 24, 2017 by ockoalaJune 24, 2017
Fantasy drama poster featuring four characters.

Talk about whiplash in moods as the first group drama poster for Bride of the Water God arrives followed by a completely different tonal one for the episode 1 preview teaser. It’s like the static posing of the cast promises a dark ethereal gothic drama but then the viewer watches the episode 1 preview full of straight up humor and … Continue reading →

Shin Se Kyung Radiant for Cosmopolitan Korea and Readies to be Bride of the Water God

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 23, 2017 by ockoalaJune 23, 2017
Fashion images with diverse styles and poses.

Nam Joo Hyuk gets equal the scrutiny as Shin Se Kyung when it comes to whether they are suitably cast as the well know manhwa lead characters in Bride of the Water God, but I know K-drama fans and the acting critique will certainly be harsher on her when the drama airs. He’ll be handsome and broody and get a … Continue reading →

First Drama Poster for Bride of the Water Has Nam Joo Hyuk Cradling His Damsel Shin Se Kyung

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 20, 2017 by ockoalaJune 19, 2017
Romantic embrace between two characters.

The first official drama poster is out for tvN fantasy drama Bride of the Water God and lordy does it amp up all the swoony romance elements. There’s the water god Nam Joo Hyuk holding his bride Shin Se Kyung in a dip position, with her enviable clavicles on display thanks to an off the shoulder lace dress. This is … Continue reading →

Nam Joo Hyuk Shows Off his Powers to His Bride of the Water God Shin Se Kyung

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 19, 2017 by ockoalaJune 18, 2017
Romantic moment between two young adults.

There’s quite playful vibe in the central romance in the K-drama adaptation of Bride of the Water God. In all the OTP previews so far, even when it tries to be uber romantic I sense the leads being young with a glimmer of curiosity in their interactions. That bodes well because I like Shin Se Kyung the best when she’s … Continue reading →

The Drama Cast of Bride of the Water God Goes All White for Poster Shoot

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 17, 2017 by ockoalaJune 17, 2017
Group of five people in a green field.

  Whatever the quality ends up being with the drama adaptation of Bride of the Water God, it’s looking like the drama has enough fan base and the cast buzzworthy to bring in the viewership curious to check it out. I guess casting idols and younger leads has that upside, and I for one am genuinely interested to see how … Continue reading →

Woman in red dress, looking contemplative outdoors.

We’ve only see the water god and the bride in all the previews so far for upcoming tvN drama adaption of Bride of the Water God, which is fine for fans of leads Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung, but clearly it takes more than the two leads to make a compelling story. Now we finally get to see … Continue reading →

Nam Joo Hyuk Tries to Woo Modern Day Psychiatrist Shin Se Kyung as his Bride of the Water God

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 12, 2017 by ockoalaJune 12, 2017
Couple talking in a serene outdoor setting.

I can sense that tvN is trying hard to sell upcoming drama adaptation of Bride of the Water God and I can’t say it’s not working. For me at least, I can see the heavy handed approach but still can’t help but be enchanted enough to want to tune in. New stills are out showing Nam Joo Hyuk’s water god … Continue reading →

Nam Joo Hyuk Shows off his Water God Prowess to his Bride Shin Se Kyung in New Drama Teaser Set in Verdant Greenery

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 11, 2017 by ockoalaJune 10, 2017
Couple standing in a green field.

Goodness is tvN selling the romantic drama heck out of the upcoming adaptation of Bride of the Water God. There hasn’t been a couple-centric drama teaser that isn’t centered around hitting audiences over the head with oh so much super romantic moments capturing essences of what dramas sell as romance. First came the under the cherry blossom tree in the night, … Continue reading →

First Look at Nam Joo Hyun in Fantasy Period Attire as Habaek in Bride of the Water God

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 7, 2017 by ockoalaJune 8, 2017
Promotional images for the 2017 drama.

Taking a period fantasy setting away and moving the narrative into modern times is fraught with peril even if done carefully. Even if it works there will be fans of the original story that miss watching it as the source material presented. I’m on the fence with the upcoming tvN drama adaption of Bride of the Water God. So far … Continue reading →

tvN Drama Bride of the Water God Releases Second Fish Tank Romantic Meeting Teaser

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 4, 2017 by ockoalaJune 4, 2017
Romantic scene with two characters underwater.

The powers that be at tvN better have a good reason for doing a teaser scene for upcoming drama adaptation of Bride of the Water God that straight up ripped off a key scene from the teen angst adaptation Romeo+Juliet. The moment a fish tank came into play I was transported back to Leo and Claire and their magical eye … Continue reading →
