(tvN - 2017) Bride of the Water God - Nam Joo Hyuk, Shin Se Kyung, Lim Ju Hwan,

qis13 · Post time 22-2-2017 12:52 AM

Shin Se Kyung's character is So Ah, a neuropsychiatrist. Due to her father's stronger love for humanity than his own family, she had to cope through tough childhood and spent years studying and working part time jobs to pay off her father's debts and eventually open up her own doctor's office. Bride of the Water God is a spinoff of a historical fantasy comic of the same name. If casting goes trough, it will be Shin Se Kyung's comeback drama after Six Flying Dragons and her first cable drama since debut. Jang Yoon Jung (Misaeng) is writing the script and will be directed by Kim Byung Soo (Nine, Three Muskeeters).

Krystal's character Hyera (Mura) is a strikingly good-looking actress wo knows of her identity as a god and has been living among the people or hundreds of years. Hyera has a one-sided love on Habaek and dislikes So Ah. Gong Myung is set to play Bi Ryum. (tn: not much details on Bi Ryum, aside from he's a "pivotal character")

Lim Ju-hwan considers role in ‘Bride of the Water God’

By Jie Ye-eun (kpop herald)

Model-turned-actor Lim Ju-hwan on Friday denied media reports that he had accepted an offer to play a role in tvN’s upcoming drama “Bride of the Water God.”

“It’s true that Lim received an offer to play a role, but nothing has been confirmed yet,” said Blossom Entertainment, which represents Lim.

Meanwhile, Nam Joo-hyuk, Shin Se-kyung, Gong Myung and Krystal confirmed that they would star in the drama on Feb. 23.

“Bride of the Water God,” a spinoff of a romantic-comedy cartoon series, will air in the second half of this year.

DRAMA CASTING & NEWS

Im Joo-hwan to play main rival in Bride of the Water God

Im Joo-hwan (Uncontrollably Fond) is now in contention to join tvN’s fantasy-romance drama Bride of the Water God 2017, which would have him joining Nam Joo-hyuk (Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo), Shin Se-kyung (Six Flying Dragons), Gong Myung (Drinking Solo), and Krystal (She’s So Lovable) in the main cast.

The drama takes aspects of the manhwa story, which was a fusion historical featuring a water god who is offered a bride sacrifice in times of drought, but modernizes the setting and adapts them to modern-day Korea. Nam Joo-hyuk will play the water god Ha-baek, with Shin Se-kyung as his bride; Krystal’s character is a goddess who has lived among people for centuries, and has a one-sided crush on Ha-baek. Gong Myung is described as helping Ha-baek while also harboring a one-sided love on Krystal. Let’s just say there’s a merry-go-round of sad crushes afoot in this drama.

Im Joo-hwan, meanwhile, is set to play Ha-baek’s primary rival, who in the original storyline was another water god who gets Ha-baek jealous when he gets close to his bride. In this version, he’ll be the CEO of a resort (which Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim’s Yang Se-jong was previously in the running for) who gets off on the wrong foot with the heroine: He runs into her when she goes to the bank seeking a loan and inadvertently causes her embarrassment. He then attempts to take on a project to develop a particular spot of land, but it stalls when Shin Se-kyung refuses to sell.

I guess Im Joo-hwan has been relegated to second leads and rivals now, which is a darned shame because he’s a talented, nuanced actor and seemed poised for a strong career following Tamra the Island. But his follow-ups didn’t really take off and and his post-army roles have been mostly supporting (Shine or Go Crazy, Oh My Ghostess, Uncontrollably Fond). Well, at least I know he’ll deliver, even with limited screentime.

Bride of the Water God 2017 has now finished casting its main lineup and plans to hold its script reading and first shoots later this month.
