(I Just A Simple Person & Watch Any Drama That Pass By Saw It And Just Watch It With Put 100Percent My Focus And All Feeling Inside While Watching) ... I Saw Alot Of Comment On This Drama Have Bad & Have Good ... Well I No Need To Mention it Cause Guess What I Watching Drama Only For Enjoy Myself And Understanding The Full Points Of The Drama With My Feeling Whenever The Screen Show Up ... No Need Go To Judge Or Comment Something Bad Or Whatever Else On The Drama You Watch That Makes No Points ... The Whole Things That Make A One Perfect Complete Drama Is Not Easier Then You Same As Us Whatcher Think ... It's A Long Process And Done Alot Of Afford Inside To Give Us Watch Nicely ... We Should Really Be Gladful For It ... For Me This Drama Show Like Fantasy About Gods And All Those Emotions That Been Show Inside That Really Make Me Fall In Love With This Drama ... And It's Should Deserves More Support, Love And Likes For It. And Don't Forger About The Actors And Actress Also Did A Very Great Job On Acting Really Need To Congrats Them And Have A Big Thumbs Up ... I Feel Very Thankful And Blessed To Whole Of This <3

The storyline was on POINT, applauding the writer(s)! Even though there was not a lot of martial arts in this project but it was still worth watching. This a drama series the whole family can watch. The main cast did phenomenally and the supporting cast was amazing. Nam Joo Hyuk is truly a God and whoa another great kisser! His acting abilities were very good and now I will have to see more of him. I looked at most of the ratings on this one and can't understand why this is not rated any higher than it is. Oh well, hopefully, my 10 will boost it up. Even Shin Se Kyung did an awesome job. I will have to see more of her as well. The romance chemistry was there on both main leads since this had more than two main leads, I'm talking about NJK and SSK. The full team "The Bride of Haebak" I will kotow3x's with respect!

This drama had overall a very mellow feeling about itself, that is the word I think describes it the best. The plot was straightforward and not complicated, generally paced rather slowly. The first episodes started off more comical and dramatic at the same time which was a fun contrast but later on these characteristics were fading as the plot was progressing. Surprisingly, the last episodes were suddenly packed with information which felt rushed compared to the slow pace of the majority of episodes.

The little turns in the plot gave a lot of time for characters to interact and I liked the way the main ones especially were portrayed - they felt realistic and flawed and each had their aims to realise; the acting was also on point. The comedy showed mostly in the first episodes felt like not done on purpose - the comedy resulted in editing and the way the scenes were filmed. Actually, throughout the whole drama I admired the way the camera was playing with angles, they were creative and impressing.

I must say the drama was nice to watch - the cinematography was fun and the gods ensemble were dressed in stunning clothes. It definitely wasn't a plot-focused drama, but I enjoyed watching it and I would recommend it as a form of relaxation.

Although the plot is a little confusing and the story doesn't make really scense the acting was Magical and was really worth the time to watch it! I found great chemistry between the lead characters too!
I've read many negative comments and reviews about the acting of the heroine and I totally disagree. She was amazing and her acting was unbelievably realistic! About the male lead I am going to say two words: pure perfection! The rest were also amazing in acting!
The only thing that caused this drama low rates was the plot, because it didn't help the characters to amaze you
But I recommend it! You won't be excited about the plot but the couple is really cute and fitting! They deserve to be watched! They acted perfectly! It was really touching!
All the characters are really attractive combined with amazing acting skills!

Had the niche for a great drama but blah. Production was measly with the CG effect, not great at all, which is sad considering this story is about magical elements. This is based on the comic but I don't expect the drama to be like it...and I wanted to like this drama so much that I watched all the way to episode 10. However by the end of the 10th, I got the gist that the writer had no idea on how to pull off this screenplay. The writer utterly failed to deliver it. Her muse got tired of running or got lazy with plot building and settled for a random paycheck rather than manifest a great show because she probably outdid herself, lacking the ability to combine multiple plots together. This drama had one too many things going on and each one of them with a plot-hole the size of a crater. The story was all over the place. Forget the main plot. Add the side plots of the demi fire god who lost his memory, the land serving as a portal, the lost map thing, the loose low class god running around and somehow though of the lowest rank still manages to render the great god future king Habaek powerless (really is beyond me but whatever), the other two earthling gods who lost the stones because they were playing around.......All this came out to be errr...'So What The F***'....none of these scenarios helped move the story. It was like a merry-go-round of one bad idea after another.

This was a drama with a good casting, though poorly directed cuz chemistry with the leads was just OK. But I did like the music (the only thing worth anything). I recommend this to anyone who doesn't care for story-building and character development, and only watch for the romance then I guess, up to you. Though really, if you're only after romance, plenty of other romance drama with better stories.

Overall - 2 stars for the cast and music. I had such hopes for this drama when it was first advertised but the writing was too horrible for me to give it any other rating.

Rewatch - NO.

Beautiful story. Great actors and actresses especially the main leads - male and female.
Great blending - height and facial features match them well. A must see TV series. Rewatch value is very high.It's one of my fave KDramas. And I am endorsing this to all those who love KDramas.
I happened to like stories with a sense of mystery and love. And love that defies all sorts of roadblocks regardless.
This story will make you realise to believe in love and in your self. Self worth is everything. Believe in your self and listen to your heart. Those messages are but part of this story.
Plus all is fair in love.

It's so interesting that even my family liked!!!

My mother and sister hate kdramas but they loved this one!

A story about a God getting to know the human world, I find this idea very funny and original!

I think this story it's really exciting, the romance between a God and a human girl, how cute! The romance is sweet and lovely and the little bit of comedy in it makes it even more interesting to watch.

The scenarios and the effects are extraordinary , they made me deeply immersed in the story.

In my opinion the actors are amazing, handsome and pretty funny, they were well chosen.

In some parts of the drama it gets tiring to watch bu,t after that it gets better, and they clearly know how to make suspense in the end of each episode!

I liked the music in this drama, it's calm and sweet, it fits in this genre of series. And some of the songs got stuck in my head.

I liked the ending, but i think it could be a little different, but it wasn't bad.

I would recommend this drama for people who have a lot of free time since it's a little long and to people who like sweet romances with a bit of comedy.

I wouldn't rewatch this drama again because I feel like it would get boring once i watch it again.

I gave up on this drama. I managed to get up to episode 11, and I just can’t get past that point.

It was an adaptation of a manhwa that iIenjoyed reading.. and that was basically the only reason I was making myself watch the episodes. It started off well enough, but the changed plot from the manhwa I foubd to be uninterestinf, the pace slow-moving and the characters unlikable. The cinematics are gorgeous. Too bad there wasn't anything else I could like about it.

There were other things I want to watch and it couldn't hold my interest enough to finish it.

I don't think it's worth your watch time

Well to be fair I liked the story somehow. Watergod loses his power at the earth and tries to get them back. But i have the feeling it went out too long. Also, I really *really* didn't like the female lead. Her acting was tolerated at most. She was so stiff, even I could've done better. Even st the crying scenes. At her newest drama "a historian rookie" it seemed like she has improved but it still wasn't the best. I've dropped it after some episodes because it became slowly boring for me. I didn't read the manhwa but its seem like the people who did, didn't like the show either and I think this says it all

Perfectly decent drama

This has been on my list for a while and as I recently saw comments talking about how bad it was, this pushed me to watch it! My takeaway is that though it wasn't a mind-blowing drama, I really don't think it's worth the heavy criticisms. I'm particularly surprised to see such dislike for Shin Se-kyung - I thought her acting was perfectly good, I enjoyed her character and I've seen far worse actresses get far less critique. Nam Joo-hyuk as Ha-baek gave a subtle performance, perhaps a touch too impassive at parts, but I thought it suited the role - I was reminded of the phrase "still waters run deep." I thought the second lead was great, often the second lead can feel like a pointless filler character but his background and struggles moved me. Anyway, I found this to be an enjoyable watch and it left me feeling happy and content. Some of these harsh comments make me wonder if we watched the same thing!

I really love this drama. It is a fictional drama but It is a really good one. The acting of the actors was really good. They didn't disappoint us. Though, at times the story became a bit unclear and confusing but overall It was a nice drama. This drama has both humor and seriousness. The humor in the drama is really cute. And the couples really suit each other. I was just a little confused in the ending as I was unable to comprehend it but It was a really good drama and you should definitely give It a try. I really liked how the evil controlled himself and was actually good and meant no harm. So yeah, It should be given a try. Overall, Its a nice drama.
