A slew of failed novel/manhwa adaptations in recent years hasn’t dimmed K-dramas preference for this genre, nor has it dimmed my interest whenever there is an adaptation based on the source material story.

I’ll hold my opinion until the drama arrives, despite the seemingly improbably odds that this ambitious project can succeed. Upcoming tvN drama adaption of popular manhwa Bride of the Water God now has a bride to go along with the already cast water god.

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.
