When Soah's impoverished, desperate village decides to sacrifice her to the Water God Habaek to end a long drought, they believe that drowning one beautiful girl will save their entire community and bring much-needed rain. Not only is Soah surprised to be rescued by the Water God - instead of killed - she never imagined she'd be a welcomed guest in Habaek's magical kingdom, where an exciting new life awaits her! Most surprising, however, is the Water God himself... and how very different he is from the monster Soah imagined.

3.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful manwha,
By
This review is from: Bride of the Water God, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
A beautifully drawn manwha/manga, even if some of the images are a bit stilted (one character looks as though the same image has been used and used again in each scene). Lots of lines, carefully drawn, although some might be turned off by such "busy," distracting artwork. And some artwork is just thrown in, without any particular reasoning except to look pretty. Otherwise, a simple story: young lady, sacrificed to water god, who is weak by day so is in the shape of a boy (and he turns into a full man at night, which our leading lady doesn't know, thinks this is two different people, Habaek and Mui). She spends most time just wandering around while everybody else does the action (which shows how sheltered she is here). I wish I could have seen more of her learning about this world, not just simply accepting it (although it is her nature to accept things, it seems). Not a lot of angst here or action. I do wonder what will happen in the next volume. I don't anticipate this being a long story. And, no nudity, sex, or violence.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty art, reasonable story line,
By
This review is from: Bride of the Water God, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
This book had the most beautiful introduction--a picture of Saoh in her bride-to-be outfit, and colored too! The book's art is absolutely gorgeous, and every page i wanted to just stare at the art in awe. Each character has a unique outfit and facial features(no worrying about who's who!). I thought the flying wolf and the mother of Habaek (Seowangmo) looked especially interesting.
As for the story line, it's entertaining enough to keep one reading. However since this is just the first book in the series, mostly every scene has unanswered questions and mysterious interactions with characters. The characters are still kind of flat, although all interesting and likeable in their own ways. I'm just hoping the second book doesn't turn the plot into a cheasy romance like the tons of other mangas out there.

Good for a new writer/artist,
This review is from: Bride of the Water God, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
I am absolutely enchanted by this series already and I've only read the first volume. It's Mi-Kyung Yun's first manwha, so some of the paneling is awkward and the story is a little disjointed (I wonder also if it is in part due to the translation from Korean?) thus far, but shows promise!
The story is darling and I do expect it to be a cheesy shojo romance, but those are the types I love.
