In volume 3 we're treated with a view of the village Soah grew up in, since she's sent home thanks to Habaek's whim. It's not at all clear why Soah is sent home except that Habaek is feeling guilty for trapping her in Suguk with only gods for company. I was actually pretty amused by the bet Mui makes with The Sovereign. If Soah recognizes Mui when he comes to fetch her and calls his name after having lost her memories, than Mui wins (wins what it isn't clear). If Soah fails to know his name, Mui is supposed to give up his memories like Soah did. It definitely sets up a fun dynamic where Mui is looking in on Soah in the human world when she can't remember who he is. Also in this volume, Soah manages to create a situation in which Habaek has to remove his robes and she gets a peek at his chest (a chance to confirm once and for all if Habaek really is Mui). I think Habaek is very cute and petulant and I wish we were given more scenes with him and Soah, but since she can't be physically attracted to a child, we really don't. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"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, but 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"--Publisher's web site.

In the end, Habaek makes the choice for Soah and sends her back to her family with her memories erased. Will Soah somehow find happiness with people who never expected to see her again, or will she somehow remember Habaek and return to him?
This volume left me feeling confused and annoyed. Mi-Kyung Yun continues to tell this story in the slowest and most confusing possible way. Was I supposed to know the true identity of the woman who visited Habaek? Why was the flashback to Habaek meeting and traveling with Yeon-Hwa important enough to devote 14 pages to it? As far as I can recall, Yeon-Hwa was never previously mentioned.
The revelation of what Soah's previous life was like should have been more shocking and surprising, if only to Habaek, and yet it just was. From what I could tell, Soah could have told Habaek the truth and he wouldn't have batted an eye, so her worrying in the previous volume and the beginning of this one was useless.
Soah spent a huge chunk of this volume beautifully sad. From the look of things, Volume 4 will probably feature a lot of Habaek being jealous but swearing that he isn't, while Soah continues to mope around sadly.
Extras:
A couple full-color pages, three 4-panel comics starring the author and a couple of her assistants, and a short afterword by the author.
