BULGASAL MONSTERS & MYTHS

Bulgasal / Bulgasari

The legend narrates the story, from late Goryeo and is about a frightening monster that kept growing as it ate up all the metal around. People tried to kill it but could not succeed, and thus named the monster ‘Bulgasal (Impossible-to-Kill). The name Bulgasari is also interpreted, in a different set of Chinese characters, Killed-by-Fire.

Jomagu

In the drama, it is shown as the monster with three eyes, who is nourished with corpses. The legend, however, tells a story about a gluttonous monster, who grows up when someone hits it. In a varitation of another myth, it is mentioned to be related to underworld monsters.

Teoreokson ( water monster of Yongsan River )

It is said to be the water monster and is different than water ghost as instead of possessing them, the monster eats them. The peculiar thing is that this monster steals a person's ponytail before it attacks a person.

Gapsangoe ( monster of Mount Gap )

Dueoksini / Dokeoksini

A creature that kills people by crushing their heads figuratively or literally. It is said to be related to Dokkaebi (Goblin) but is more brutal and monstrous being than the common goblin.

@thatprolificauthor helloooo!

honestly your genres are just a combination of everything I want to read! I absolutely love romance, but having a bit of fantasy or mystery intertwined (it doesn't even need to be like the main plot) makes the story more vivid and so much more entertaining to read!

AND THE INHERITANCE GAMES STOP. THAT BOOK IS SUCH A GEM. Let me know your thoughts on it! <3

OKAY. BUT WHY AM I ALSO GETTING INHERITANCE GAMES VIBES HERE, TOO. The clocks in his family's mansion seems like a key to something! Seriously, I'm intrigued! I would love to know the premise of this book, and some of the main tropes featuring it. Also, is Dennis a vivid/strong character, or more of a soft-spoken/reserved one? How do you forsee his character arc to go (towards positive development or negative development overall)?

Lots of questions, ahhhhh

me, desperate for some writer friends/mutuals

The Kumiho is a shapeshifting creature of Korean legend. A nine tailed fox who has learnt to take human form, they typically transform into beautiful women to (literally) eat the hearts of unlucky young men.

There are many tales of shapeshifting, multi-tailed foxes (with nine being the desirable number) but what sets the Kumiho apart from the others is the source of their power. Each Kumiho is said to carry a bead, called a yeowoo guseul, which their power comes from. They are able to drain the energy of a human by inserting and retrieving the bead from a human’s month (under the guise of kissing). 

This is a risky method - if a human steals and swallows the bead they can grain incredible knowledge.

One upside to being a writer is you can write your own comfort fic. The downside is you still have to actually write it.
