Description
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.

The plot is complex indeed. There are many secrets waiting to be revealed. Nevertheless, the art work is amazing. One of my favorite manhwas of all time. I love how she puts so much detail on little things (and important things). I really can't wait for this manhwa to be completed! I'm looking forward to the development of her characters.I hope it won't turn out to be a disappointment because I have such high hopes for it.


EDIT: 9/30/2014
Wow..I followed this manhwa ever since it was scanlated in english..I loved it at first. The artwork was like no other..but the plot!! (or maybe the lack of !) Honestly, I'm only still reading it because of the artwork -___- I gave up on understanding the story after the chapters had hit the 3 digits.

Not an eveil mother in law plot

I think everyone has mentioned how beautiful the earth is. Probably the best manga artwork of all time. The plot is ok. It is not a evil mother in law plot or wateva rather it is quite complex. However just because it is complex doesn't necessarily mean its really good or anything. Every single character here really do have their own agendas and own selfish purposes. So much drama here which really overshadows the romance. Not much romance really. I mean the chapters where Soah and Habaek have been separated by far outnumbers the chapters that they have been together really.

The manhwa is pretty, but the storyline is meh-ish. You learn next-to-nothing about the characters throughout the story after the first couple of chapters, and then whilst reading, you come across this weird mother in law and you're like... wtf is going on? The art is beautiful yes, but the story sucks, some parts dragged over like 2 volumes. She needs to get a new writer, seriously.

I generally don't read manhwa, because so far the ending has always annoyed me. This one though caught my interest and i broke my rule (i'm actually buying it). I LOVE it (still mildly worried about the ending though).

For those of you guys who have said that there has been no character development since the early chapters, or that the plot line has not developed, i only have one question. Are you sure we are reading the same manhwa?
The characters are very complex, especially in regards to loyalties and their true personality. The sheer amount of layers that have been built on these characters is impressive, more impressive by the fact that it seems natural.
The plot as been progressing, with many twists and flashbacks and perspective changes. There is sub-plot upon sub-plot upon sub-plot. I think it is a masterful work, which has been very cleverly created and layered.

I can't wait for more (happy ending happy ending), and I have to add that i LOVE the artwork.

The art work is stunning. The whole sixty chapters so far have been visually captivating. The story has had some interesting twists and I'm looking forward to finding out what will actually happen.

Plot is lacking

It's very pretty, yes, but 60+ chapters in, and nothing's. happened. yet. You know exactly as much about the characters as you did as when the chapter was in the teens, and there is only a vague ominous rumble due to the tired, rehashed "evil mother-in-law" subplot. There's nothing overtly bad about this manhwa, but the author needs to sharpen her writing skills.

good at first, but then....

The art is gorgeous and consistent, I give it full marks. I can say otherwise for the story line and the characters. The story line over time gets pretty dull. The characters seem interesting at first, but again, as the story line progresses, none of the characters have developed and their reactions to everything is predictable. It's just like GodofMadness said, they have minimal facial expression. They look like beautiful statues. :\ It's a mediocre story with great art (although the body drawings are too elongated and awkward at times). I'll still keep at it. I want to see Soah and Habaek get together. The 'love square' is irritating but so Korean...so I try to ignore it as best as I can.

Yeah, the art is good and all - What bothers me is the lack of facial expressions the characters have, as If they lack emotions. Also some characters are hard to distinguish, the author tends to draw the characters so much alike, I find it pretty annoying sometimes.

Starts of well but...gets a bit boring

When I started reading this I was all "Kyaaaa! The art's so goooorgeous". The guys are really hot (cool?) and all...but as you read on and somewhat get used to the art, the plot gets a bit boring, and I don't feel much apprehension, in other words, I'm not that excited to see what's coming next.
I don't get what's so special about Soah to have guys falling for him, she might be pretty, but she doesn't show much character, she hardly has any character at all or maybe I couldn't notice it?
I don't know the general opinion but personally I don't really like the love triangles in Korean manhua/dramas. They're kind of annoying. There always seems to be unresolved feelings left, I don't feel that way with Japanese love triangles. Not to mention there is almost always four people in it (love square? lol) -in case there's any confusion: main girl character X prince Charming I ( they fall in love), prince Charming II (also falls in love with heroine), and girl number II whom prince Charming I loved in the past although she didn't return his feelings, but has changed her mind and wants to get her prince back.
All in all, manga is for bored people to read, the plot may not be so great (maybe not yet) but the art's worth reading.

I don't think you can find another manwha as beautiful in the sense of artwork as this. Even the price of the licensed one is rather beautiful...way too beautiful for my budget, for now at least.

I think I know where the story is going, and let me emphasize on the two words 'I think'. I might be wrong.
It's a little complicated to explain, and I don't think it'll make sense if I type it out. For now, it only makes sense in my head.
And I like what I think is the whole story.

Referring to comel, I like that you gave a good score to this title but my nerves got pricked when I saw the words 'Another idea, please'.
It already has been pricked a couple of times when I saw people bashing at other titles, even titles I don't have interest in.
Do you actually know how hard it is to come up with a good plot that hasn't already been used?
Let's see you come up with a plot that no one will complain about, hmm? Remember, everyone is a critic.

I guess it's time to reign in my temper. Just smile and wave, winter, smile and wave.
