"Bride of the Water God 2017" is a best seller by Yoon Mi-kyeong about a water god named Ha Baek (Nam Joo-hyuk) and a female doctor named So-ah (Shin Se-kyung) whose family has been serving the gods for generations.

Ha Baek comes down to the human world to collect a stone that holds the power of the royal throne when the waters turn red for the first time in 2,000 years. He comes to Seoul in the year 2017 and meets So-ah. This drama is comparable to the previous hit drama "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God".

At the premiere of the drama on the 27th last month, director Kim Byeong-soo said, "Some novel-originated dramas are criticized for their characters. It was priority to find handsome actors that look like gods. I needed them to look fantastical".

"Making a fantasy drama was pressuring because of "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God". I edited the scripts over and over again. "Bride of the Water God 2017" is a drama anyone can enjoy. I want to deliver that gods are with us whenever we need them".

"Bride of the Water God 2017" is directed by Kim Byeong-soo from "Nine: Time Travelling Nine Times" and writer Jeong Yoon-jeong from "Incomplete Life".

Nam Joo-hyuk said, "The original is pressuring for me but I decided to do it because it seemed like fun. I felt the script with my heart and I think that's what helped me to be natural about it". Shin Se-kyung said, "The original novel is popular and it's pressuring but I look forward to watching it in drama".

"Bride of the Water God 2017" starts on the 3rd at 10:50PM. Then it shows every Tuesday and Wednesday at 9:45PM on tvN. It will also be broadcast in Southeast Asia.
