The only thing good about Bride of Water God is Im Ju Hwan (and the cinematography). Everything else is just meh.
As for the plot, it feels like the writer forgot about it, which is very disappointing because I have high expectation from Misaeng’s writer. The plot is shallow, simple, disjointed and has too many fillers.
Characterization is severely disappointing, all the characters in the drama are completely different from the manga. It feels as if the only thing that is the same in the manhwa and the drama is the title, everthing else is different. This bring me to the question, why would they want to make an adaptation if they are going to change 99% of the source material? I would be forgiving if they ended up giving us a drama that is better than the manhwa, but this is not the case here. The manhwa dragged and is full of noble-idiots, but its setting is interesting, and well, despite being a great noble idiot, the manhwa Habaek was interesting as a character. But in the drama, everything goes downhill, the powerless Habaek is so ordinary and NJH’s lack of acting capabilities could not even help that.
I ended up watching to the end for Im Ju Hwan’s great acting, and fast forwarded all scenes except the scenes that has him, his secretary and So Ah’s assistant. Can we have a spin off with Im Ju Hwan’s Hoo Ye as the lead character? Of any drama with Im Ju Hwan as the lead?
