Synopsis
When the god of the Land of Water, Lord Ha-baek visits Earth to retrieve the sacred stones required for him to claim the throne of the Divine Realm, he seeks the help of neuropsychiatrist So-ah, the only remaining descendant from a middle-class family fated to serve him for generations. Because she does not believe that Ha-baek is a god and mistakes him for suffering from a mental illness, she initially resists him. However, after she meets the god of the Land of the Sky, Bi-ryeom, the goddess of the Land of Water, Mu-ra, and the demigod Hu-ye, she decides to aid him in his quest.Cast
