While I am glad that Bride of the Water God deviates heavily from the manhwa, I do wish they had kept Habaek’s child form in some way. There’s so much comedic material they could’ve gotten from that.

    Does he like poof into a kid and poof back to being adult? If so, I would feel bad for the CG or whoever’s in charge of changing him to child form if they do that. It’s not convenient to do in a drama.

      He is child in the day & can take adult form only at night but the female lead doesnt know.. causes a lot of hijinks and missed identity in the manhwa.

      Would’ve been fun to have that done well in the drama.. but i dont see it being incorporated even later in the series.. unless some sorta curse befalls him from the kissing? Namsuri did seem worried bout his powers

      Rainbow Unicorn explained it well, but I don’t think it’s necessary to show the transformation onscreen (I don’t think they really did in the manhwa). Personally if I were to write it though, I would make it so she finds out pretty quickly that Habaek and the kid are one and the same. It was really stupid in the manhwa that she couldn’t figure it out and in modern setting I don’t think it would make sense for her to just befriend a random kid. It’d be funny if she just ended up having to take care of him while in kid form knowing it was him and having to explain to the people she knows why she has a child following her around all of the sudden.
