A/N: Hi everyone! I'm so so sorry for not posting in such a long time, and I know...my other story is coming. I will try to update my other story soon for all those who are reading it. I've just been so busy with final papers and my final exams are coming as well, so please be patient with me.
Now, I needed to post this story up first since it is actually a collaboration between my friend RemRem (it's a nickname) and me. Yep, she is a major fan of the manhwa 'Bride of the Water God' and the folklore of it too. This is her first attempt at fanfiction since she is more of an original story kind of person. While anyways, I'm posting this for her since that is how great of a friend I am (and just between us, it is mostly because she's too lazy to make an account and do it herself). Basically, the plot and OCs are all hers (I've never actually read the manhwa but according to RemRem it is amazing), while I help with some writing and dialogue. RemRem thought it would be cool to do a modernized version of the story since the original manhwa is set in the past. I agreed that it would be an awesome idea and RemRem just had such an interesting plot of how she wanted to do it. So here I am, on the same boat as her, as we try to retell the tale of the Bride of the Water God modern-style with a mix of magic, mystery, alternate dimensions, and a whole lot of other crazy stuff!
The story has features, elements, plots, and characters from the original manhwa, but the new female protagonist is an OC (RemRem's creation). She did not have the heart to change the other main character, the Water God himself, so he is still the original from the manhwa. The plot will be quite similar to the original manhwa in terms of some big scenes, but there will be new major plot twists and addition of very interesting OCs! The settings will vary from original to those adapted from the manhwa (for example, the Water Kingdom will remain identical, maybe with some modifications here and there, but still the same as the original).
So as for the disclaimer: The original story 'Bride of the Water God' belongs to Yun Mi-kyung. Also, there are guest appearances of characters and references from 'Skip Beat!' and all those belong to Yoshiki Nakamura.
Other than that, from RemRem and I: Please enjoy the story! Read and Review please :) And if people like it then we will continue. XOXO
