The Bride of the Water God

A manwha made by Yoon Mi-kyung.
This is the story of a girl who was sacrificed by her people to be the water god's wife to please the God enough to bring back the long awaited rain.

The girl was ready to face the monster that was the water God, expecting him to be ugly and cruel, but he did not appear or seem to be what she had expected!

What attracted me to this manga is the art style. I see the vibrant colors all over the cover. The details of the characters' traditional outfits, the flowers that seem to be growing on every page of the manwha and the male characters who are as powerful and mysterious as they are good looking. I'm sure every  fan girl out there would understand. -winks-


Nope, that little boy there is not their son. Actually, I have not read that far enough to know if they were able to have a son.

The manwha had an interesting start, one that would make you wonder: what would happen next? when will the couple be honest with each other?
See here, the water god is the another one of those mysterious hunks who had experienced a heartbreaking love life in the past and now becomes a cold but relatively kind and caring husband to the mortal that has been offered to him to be his wife.

In this manwha, there are scenes you might be looking forward to, like the one on the left. It's not something unique either, but it sells! The artist noted that this manwha may contain mature content like scenes suggesting rape and violence. As for me, I think this is completely harmless as long as you are of legal age.
I find the romance a bit boring, monotonous, serious and kind of masochistic. It's that kind where the girl has to cry a lot and the guy gets to hurt the girl in every possible way both intentionally and unintentionally.

Little is revealed about all the characters, so one will need to read on to know. I don't find this manwha special but it's entertaining enough. Drama addicts and hopeless romantics would love this kind of storyline and pair.  

Here's a link for those who are interested to read this manwha. It's still ongoing, I have no doubt that you would be able to catch up with the story in no time.
