The drama is about a deity who is almost all powerful but needs to find some stones on earth so he can be the king of all deities. He lands on earth looses his powers and meets a psychiatrist, who turns out to be his servant. Now he needs to gather the stones and go back to claim his throne. But wait! For some mysterious reason he lost all his powers, his map and deities who were supposed to hand over the stones to him- avoid him.
I will start with the good stuff, the actors were cool, they did an awesome job, the scenery was beautiful and the beginning was quite hopeful (In terms of story development). I read somewhere that the land of water was actually shot in an Indian Mahal, so kudos to the production team for making that happen. There were many highs and lows in the plot that kept you hooked. You could feel the hard work everyone put in the project, the graphics were really cool and characters were likable.
I expected so much from this drama, because I used to read the manga. When I first read the story I was enchanted. I was expecting to feel something like that, alas I was disappointed. They should not have said that it was an adaptation of the manga.Frankly speaking I don't know what it was either. You can't call it an adaption because of how much it sways away from the original story and characters, but you can't say it's a drama inspired by the manga either because of the basic things it picked up. Some people are calling it a spin off but , no it isn't? I can only say that it was a lazy attempt from the writer's side. They put so much water in the soup that now its just dirty water. So now you can't have it as a meal and absolutely not as a drink. (That was mean I am sorry, It's not like my drawing is any good)
They tried to kdramafy the manga. You know, numerous love triangles, walking down the street, going to amusement part, the lovable sidekick etc.
But was it worth watching? ABSOLUTELY
Why, you ask? Well, my friend, I was only disappointed because I read the manga. Because if I hadn't, I know that I would have loved it one hundred percent. I wish I could have seen the red dress of the bride from the manga in the drama but its okay. the characters were so Kawai that all is well.
Confession: I did not read the entire manga so my opinion doesn't even count.
