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 →
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 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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
