Summary: from Good Reads
Humor, drama, and a bit of horror combine, as human bride Soah tries to uncover the truth behind her strange husband's predicament and his previous wife's early, brutal demise. While Huye distracts her with flirtations and the dreadful goddess Murah becomes increasingly jealous, strong-willed Soah is determined to find out why her powerful, moody husband is cursed to live in the form of a little boy during the day, returning to his true, adult body at night. Soah's inner strength and determination saved her village from drought and famine in previous volumes — now she must pit her guts and guile against the unpredictable elemental gods in order to find happiness in the new world she's trapped in.

* Bride of the Water God, with its enchanting, romantic storyline and elaborate, breathtaking artwork, was the top-selling shojo manhwa in Korea in 2006.


Feelings: 
Soah is struggling to find out if Mui and Habaek are the same person, but before she can find anything out for sure she is sent back home. I'm not sure why but one of two things is happening one many of the other people do not know that Habaek and Mui are the same person or two they are all keeping it from Soah. 

Soah is sent back to her village and there she has no memory of her time in Habaek's kingdom. She is torn between wanting to know and not wanting to know. I enjoyed the differences between the world of the Gods and the human world in this volume.

The story does not move quickly between volumes, however, it slow pace of the story is made up for by the quality of the drawings.
