Description Made even more delicious by the arrival of Sun King Suba and the spirited Grandma Pat, the flavor of legend deepens once again. Author Lee Ji-eun, who sparked a "legend" sensation with The Legend of Patbingsu and The Legend of Friends, now returns with the legend of the watermelon. While walking home along a mountain path late at night after a trip to the market, Grandma Pat encounters Suba, the Sun King. Round and tumbling like a pig or a ball, Suba was originally a heavenly dragon who shone the sun to help all living things grow. But after a two-headed dragon, coveting Suba's wings and sunlight, bit off his wings, Suba barely managed to escape down to earth. Desperate, Suba begs Grandma Pat for help — but instead of being treated like a king, he's mistakenly called "watermelon" or "King Watermelon," adding to his confusion. As Suba asks, Grandma Pat spends all night making rice cakes and stacking fruit into towers to prepare a ceremonial table, while Suba prays devotedly to the sky, both on land and in water — but nothing goes as planned. In the end, it's Grandma Pat's brave and bold action that helps Suba win back his wings from the two-headed dragon. True to his promise, Suba rewards her with a treasure said to be as precious as a dragon's wish-fulfilling jewel, before disappearing back into the sky. What treasure did Sun King Suba leave behind for Grandma Pat? And what connection does it have to the legend of the watermelon? This is a delightful, satisfying, humorous, and touching fantasy that speaks up for those in tough situations. Grandma Pat's warm-hearted, easygoing charm — first seen in The Legend of Patbingsu — shines once again in Suba the Sun King: The Legend of the Watermelon. Her stubborn insistence on calling Suba "watermelon" no matter what, her warm and generous willingness to help this strange creature, her fearless move to summon the two-headed dragon and trap it in a gourd bottle (as if mocking Suba's passive prayers), and her cool, unbothered reaction — "Well, nothing to be done about it" — when the precious dragon's gift ends up scattered all over the country, all bring a satisfying, laugh-out-loud humor that goes beyond everyday comedy. While Suba, the Sun King and dragon who governs the growth of all living things, tries to solve his crisis by setting up offerings and praying inwardly to heaven and earth, Grandma Pat's solution is direct and straightforward. Beneath this lighthearted and playful legend of the watermelon lies the author's perspective: that prayer alone, without real action, cannot solve a problem at its root — that facing challenges head-on and confronting them directly is what truly leads to a solution. Eye-catching looks and delightfully unexpected characters bring this fan-favorite story to life. Author Lee Ji-eun, who has long held dragon stories close to her heart, finally reveals her own vision of a dragon in Suba the Sun King: The Legend of the Watermelon. While we usually imagine dragons with long whiskers, piercing eyes, and tough, unbreakable scales, Sun King Suba looks more like a watermelon-shaped beach ball. With short legs that flail helplessly when he flips over, lips so pursed they seem to take over his whole face, a piggy tail, and a round, plump body — there's hardly a trace of a traditional dragon to be found. Yet this adorably cute Suba is, in fact, a heavenly dragon! Turning our expectations upside down, author Lee Ji-eun casually presents this lovable Sun King who governs the growth of all living things. And what about the two-headed dragon? This charmingly awkward creature, who complains that having two heads means it can never decide which way to go, transforms the moment it gets hold of Suba's wings — suddenly acting as if it could rule the world, and facing off against Grandma Pat in an epic showdown. And just how adorable is the two-headed dragon when it crawls out of Suba's poop! With its unexpected character twists, thrilling storytelling, and scenes that bring a smile every time, Suba the Sun King: The Legend of the Watermelon is set to be a hit this season. Now, let's dive into the wonderfully imaginative world of Suba that author Lee Ji-eun has so lovingly created!
