Provenance

Where it came from

Bride of the Water God, known in Korean as Habaek-ui Shinbu, was created by the mangaka Yoon Mi-kyung and serialized in the magazine WING across the mid-2000s. The series reimagines a classic Korean folktale in which a girl is sacrificed to a water god, transposing the myth into a complex fantasy narrative focused on the intricate dynamics between the titular deity and his mortal bride.

Yoon Mi-kyung is widely recognized for her delicate, ethereal art style, which characterizes the manhwa’s visual identity. The series received significant acclaim for its atmospheric storytelling and detailed character designs, successfully bridging traditional mythological elements with modern romance tropes. Its popularity eventually led to a spin-off television drama adaptation in 2017, solidifying its status as a staple of the fantasy manhwa genre.
