What I got right - Predictions on Finale of Bride of the Water god (Habaek)

*Spoiler Alert*  
*Do not scroll down, if you haven't watched the finale of Bride of Water god (Habaek)*


We can safely say that I didn't get everything right.  But I also didn't get everything wrong!
I got one right! Just one!  LOL 


So this is what I got right in my predictions of the finale. 

"So Ah will know what happened to her dad.  Her dad saved her... but actually died saving her.  She will cry her heart out."

Unfortunately, I didn't get to think about the servant's crest into the equation.
I'm so tempted to start talking about my thoughts about the finale here. 
But I want to save that for another day.  


Curious what other predictions I had for the finale?

Bride of Water god (HaBaek) - Final Episode Predictions

Here are just some of my theories or predictions for the finale of Bride of the Water god (HaBaek)
Some of these might be far of and I don't expect myself to be right.
  • Hoo Ye is the son of Habaek and his first love, Nakbin. Why was it that Hoo Ye was found hiding with Nakbin in a cave. Did Nakbin give birth to him there? Is that why Hoo Ye was so protective of her? Also, he is a demi god (half god half human) -- so it could make sense his dad is Habaek and Nakbin, a human, as his mom.
  • Hoo Ye is the one who saves So Ah - but there is a twist - not that he's the god of death
    • Twist: Hoo Ye is So Ah's lost dad. Hoo Ye lives and dies then lives again. And maybe part of his life he was also a dad of So Ah. Maybe that is why he is drawn to her and keeps hearing a male voice saying the lines that So Ah told him when he was at the farm to calm him down.
  • Hoo Ye was an emperor or a king in his past life. It looks like his luck and fortune are always good in the human realm compare to being in the gods realm because they just keep him in the cave.
  • Hoo Ye is the son of the fortune teller friend of So Ah, in the past life.
  • Hoo Ye and Bi Ryum are brothers - maybe Hoo Ye was a son of a Sky Country god.
  • So Ah is going to live in the realm of the gods to live with Habaek since she has no family left
  • So Ah will know what happened to her dad. Her dad saved her... but actually died saving her. She will cry her heart out.
  • So Ah will die as it has been predicted, while Habaek will try to wait for her to be reincarnated.
I know some of these are far out and contradict each other. But these are just the random theories / predictions I have at the moment. Wanted to post it before actually watching the finale.
We shall see later what part I actually got right. Lol

Bride of Water god (HaBaek) - Quick Review




This is just a quick review of the Korean TV Drama, Bride of the Water god (Habaek).  

Just finished watching the 15th episode of Bride of the Water God (HaBaek) 

I'm a bit confused. They say this is the episode before the finale.  Today they will post the final episode on the DramaFever.com site.  But after watching the 15th episode, I just got more questions rather than revelations.  I get it that they are waiting for the finale for that.  However, with so many questions I have, will one hour be enough to answer all the questions?  Are they planning to do a season 2?  If they are, I don't think I will watch it.  It was already hard to finish it.  I only did it because I already invested hours of my time to it.  

The drama is poorly developed.  Specially when this is a screenplay of an already famous web comic, Manhwa, of the same title - Bride of the Water God.  Based on my research for that said Manhwa, the storyline doesn't seem to fit.  I get it that they did try to put some parts of it when they showed HaBaek's first love and how he was cursed to transform from a child form during the day to his original adult self, when the sun sets.  But they since have not gotten back to that in the drama.  With only 1 episode left, they have left me and other viewers scratching our heads.  

Fans of the manhwa were also not pleased with what they did with the storyline.  I'm not oppose to any changes as long as it's for creativity's sake.  But so far the drama feels like eating a supposedly delicious food but it just lacked seasoning.  It's just too lacking.  

Many have left bad reviews regarding the male and female protagonists acting. I don't think it's a problem at all.  And they said they lacked chemistry.  I don't agree with that as well.  
I really feel like it's the story itself and the very slow pace.  It felt like we could have scrapped out so many parts of the 1st and 2nd episode.  It took them so long to try to establish the characters.  While at the same time, the storyline felt misdirected.  They left us with our imagination of what happened in the past that we don't know much of.  And the fact that they did make changes from the original story, they can't assume that we will know the backstory when even the actual fans of the manhwa are not watching because of their disappointment.  

Technically speaking, this is not a complete review since I have not watched the final episode yet.  It will be available later in DramaFever.com.   But I feel like I want to put this review out there before I watch it.  I will update this review after I watch the final episode.  

But at this point, I really feel like I didn't enjoy this Korean Drama as much as I had expected.  

I will be back later to update this.  


For the meantime, read my blog regarding my theories of the ending.
