Story:
This comic isthe first korean manhwa I've read and thought that it was really good.

The setting of the story goes all the way back to our chinese ancient history. Where gods and demons exist in different dimensions.

This story evolves around a relationship between a god and a human. Unlike from those we usually see on shows where gods and human cannot fall in love, here in this story it is not at all impossible.

It talks about this young beautiful girl by the name of Soah, from a poor family in a supisitious village. She was offered as a bride to the Water God, known as Habaek, as a price to pay to end their drought.

When she arrives at the Water Kingdom and met Habaek, to her surprise it is actually a young boy around the same age as her little sister.

Never did she expects that the man she only comes to meet at night, Mui, is the original form of Habaek, who is the young boy she only meets in the day.

However, Mui who is the Habaek has a dark secrets that he never revealed to anyone and it seems that all the other people Soah met in the Water Kingdom seems to be hidding something.

In a unkown environment with no one she could turn to for help, she has to strive her way through and to survive the ordeal and also, to answer her own desires as to who she really loves.

As for Habaek, he seems to have a past that keeps haunting him and the people serving him are all not exactly loyal to him.

Having said that, he used to love one human women by the name of Nakbin but was killed by her own brother. He always make a promise to her that as long as it is Nakbin, he will always come back to her.

But Nakbin who is supposed to be dead, has returned not too long after Habaek has taken in his bride, Soah.

Soah, who has been proposed to by Habaek was put in a test when Habaek was drugged by Nakbin, to make Habaek fall completely head over heals for Nakbin.

Will Soah be able to be together with Habaek?
Will Habaek be able to fight his fate and be with the girl whom he truly loves?
What is the Great Emperor scheming and who is Nakbin that has reappeared when she is supposed to be dead?

This story will make you want for more and there is always a twist in it that makes it interesting to read.

I enjoyed reading it and I read it twice. Amazing, isn't it?
