The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea

For generations, deadly storms have ravaged Mina's homeland, believed to be a curse from the once-benevolent Sea God. To appease him, each year a maiden is sacrificed, hoping to find the 'true bride' who will end their suffering. When Mina's brother's beloved, Shim Cheong, is chosen, Mina bravely intervenes, throwing herself into the turbulent waters to save her brother from certain death. Swept away to the wondrous and perilous Spirit Realm, a magical domain teeming with lesser gods and mythical beasts, Mina discovers the Sea God himself trapped in an enchanted, death-like sleep. With the help of a mysterious young man, Shin, and a motley crew of loyal demons and spirits, Mina embarks on a desperate quest to awaken the Sea God and lift the curse from her people. However, time is not on her side, as a human cannot long endure in the land of spirits. Moreover, sinister forces within the Spirit Realm conspire to keep the Sea God from ever waking, forcing Mina to navigate treacherous political currents and ancient secrets in her bid to save both realms. This enchanting tale reimagines a classic Korean legend with a feminist heart.
