You can't judge how you'll enjoy a drama base on reviews, take it all with a grain of salt. I would say , Always try it out. It will either click or not. I watch a drama for the "feels" and don't go deep into it. It's my escape (fantasy).
Reply 1997 was highly recommended and I absolutely HATED it! It was soo annoying and the Noble sacrifices. The brother thinking because he likes her and do things for her in a sense she belongs to him.....blaaah...stupid love triangle. I FFW soo much and thinking I would like it because of the high rating it has to be good...nope...

The story itself is a bit scattered. It may be that it was trying to accomplish too much at once and wasn't able to execute on anything very well. I had a very hard time keeping engaged with the story and the lore of the Immortal Realm in particular. The original work would certainly fall into the mellow drama category. This drama is more of a romantic comedy. The constant pull between mellow drama and comedy is very distracting to the overall telling of the story.
Unfortunately, casting Nam Joo Hyuk as the lead character Habaek turned out to be a poor decision. Nam Joo Hyuk proved to be much too green to pull off the 3000 year old Habaek. Though he is cute and charming in parts ... other moments seem down right cringeworthy. Even though Habaek is supposed to be a bit of a man child, the childish demeanor washes away most of the sex appeal of the original Water God. Out of all the things I've seen Nam Joo Hyuk in, this is probably easily his weakest performance. I feel like he never really gets used to acting the part of Habaek.
Actually the character story that I was most intrigued with was Shin Hoo Ye played by Im Joo Hwan. I feel like Im always is cast as deep, complex characters. I loved CEO Shin story arc. His backstory and character development was so compelling, it ultimately distracted from the lead couple. Still rooting for a Happy Ending for Hoo Ye!
Though this drama was far from perfect, there were some charmingly touching parts. I did enjoy watching it. I just probably won't be revisiting it anytime soon.

Nam Joo Hyuk's acting is so good, his face is great at conveying emotion so it really tugs on the heartstrings. Gong Myeong was great, as was Krystal.
The OSTs could have been better, but I usually don't think about those.
I thought the ending was great as well. It takes a lot to get me to cry at dramas now that I've seen so many but this did a great job.
I believe that the people who are writing poor reviews are because they didn't really watch it at all.

I don’t know what these negative reviews are saying. I watched it with no preconceived opinion and fell in love with the two main casts and the story line. It was sad and felt sadder as the drama came to a close. I loved it and would watch it again. The scenes were beautiful, the music great and the storyline unique. Nam joo Hyuk is incredibly beautiful and he definitely looked like a God. I would want him to watch over me anytime. This is not the Goblin as nothing can be as traumatic and heartbreaking as the Goblin. However the plot has its own merit, and although it does not follow any manga, as it shouldn’t, it stands out by itself, with its own storyline. Esta resenha foi útil para você?
The storyline, particularly the character of The Gods are a bit strange, but still enjoyable to watch.
The main characters are having an adorable chemistry. Sometimes I feel that NJH's acting was a little bit weird, but I am still in love with him no matter what :p. SSK's acting was really good, natural and has meaningful expression, Idk why there is some people hate her acting, I just couldn't agree with them.

Each character was not used to its full potential. The romance was okay, but it could have been so much more. To me the main plot was never really fully used.
You take the character role of Mu Ra / He Ra. They made her more like a 2 year old spoiled child throwing a tantrum all until the end.
Like I said so many holes so many things they could have done yet didn't. It is really sad because the had an awesome cast .
Would I watch again? yes
Was the music great? love the music it was awesome
Overall I am giving it a 7 mostly because I love the cast and the music.

The main characters, HaBaek and YoonSo. Loved, loved, loved them. I love the way HaBaek was a wanna-be cold guy, somewhat funny, sometimes naive, I liked the way YoonSo wanted to hide her weaknesses, instead of just being a fragile wreck unlike so many dramas like to portray women. Not all woman are emotional train-wrecks that fall crying like a baby when something happens. She was strong, even though her life was crappish, she kept going, even when everything was falling apart. I loved it about her. It has some realism in it. Out of dramas, in real life, when something bad happens, when a lover goes away, or someone die, your life just keep going, sit and cry like a baby doesn't help,we have to find a way to survive. That's why I liked her so much, if you ever had been in a situation like this, you would understand. Is a very well written character.
Many people say the Shin Se kyung acting was bad. Seriously, I'm very critical about acting, and I can't see why . I mean, her character was supposed to be a strong one, so pardon her if she had not so many desperate crying scenes like so many other dramas, maybe thats why people say it was bad?? (I'm just trying to understand) I Can't see any flaws in her acting.
About NamJoo well, can't say otherwise about him as well. He was portraying an arrogant king god, and he did it well. Let's skip that is always a joy watch his cute face, for so many hours haha x))
From what I could notice, when people see a cold characters, in dramas in general, they take it as bad acting. Ive seen this in so many other dramas and the same happens. You see, when a character is supposed to be cold, not emotional, they gonna show less emotions, naturally. That's not a flaw or bad acting, that's how the character is supposed to be. For what HaBaek was supposed to be, NamJoo did a very good job.
The plot was good enough, if I have to complain about something is this show, it may be a little about the plot. Sure it wasn't a perfect one, but is better than so many plots that I have seen in popular shows everyone likes.
So, overall is a good drama.
Would I recommend this??? Yeah, this show was good, was funny with a cute romance, with good characters.

A prince charming who is more than a prince "A Water God". Yes ! And a common girl who is struggling in her life. The story created to show a link between people from these 2 different world was interesting.
Acting was fine but could have been better. Amazing music, songs and cinematography. You will be hooked to the story without any second thoughts. Binge Watch Alert !You might end up binge watching.
PS: Do not watch it if you are looking forward for a sensible story. Its a fairy tale !

Krystal's Moo Ra tried very hard to be the voice of reason but often her words are fallen on deaf ears. Yeah, you can read it as just jealousy but admittedly the girl as points and can be clear headed at times. This is my first time watching Gong Myung in a drama and he wasn't bad. Bi Ryum was the Loki of the series in the beginning and I wanted to know what he was up too at all times. However, there was a quick turning point that I won't get into.
The rest of the cast was functional. I felt like they tried to develop themselves more but was head back. They were involved and had their own storylines but those lines were forgotten or ignored later.
Overall: There are some hot steaming kissing that will leave you completely unsatisfied. Much like the rest of the story. If you are a Im Joo Hwan fan (new one over here!), then watch only his parts. You'll easily get the rest of the story without wasting much time. If you are head for the adaption, save yourself the trouble!

now don't get me wrong, it is BAD, maybe the worst drama that I've seen this year, but the worst it gets the more you want to watch. at some point I thought they were doing it on purpose, no one can make such thing and not realise the quality of it.
the story is a mess.
the acting, horrible
there was no chemistry between the protagonists.
the female lead was annoying and her "tragic" story made her look like a b*tch.
every episode they introduce two new useless supporting characters.
there was that episode with unnecessary and incredibly bad cgi.
the antagonist seemed more like a steven universe villain reject.
and the wigs... THE WIGS.
now if you want a reason to watch: KRYSTAL. yes, her acting was stiff and soulless, but she served looks on every single scene that she was on

Unlike many other dramas, this one had a very disappointing beginning of the story, while it progressed into something that I really enjoyed. Believe me, it got soooo much better towards the end. The biggest issue for me were the characters. Was it the acting? Was it supposed to be like that? The actors couldn't act out simple scenes and made me feel quite awkward, actually. Nam Joo Hyuk's acting in particular. I've seen many of his roles before but playing Habaek didn't suit him. Furthermore, let's take a look at the main female character. I hate it when the female lead is presented as weak and as a crybaby. However, with many negative reviews, I wouldn't completely neglect some of the aspects of this drama. The main focus for me was the OST. Aaaand that's why I gave the music a solid 10. The songs were heartfelt and perfect for the drama, kind of reminded me of Goblin's OST.
Overall, the drama isn't as bad as the people review it. Sure, the acting sucked and it was filled with plot holes, but there are many great scenes that filled me with joy. Would I rewatch it? Probably not. Would I recommend it? Sure, for those of you who have seen all of the brilliant romance dramas out there and you have nothing better to watch.
