History Webcomic / DivineBells

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Hong-Ryung looks like a paler version of his father, Do-Ahn, with a personality akin to that of his mother, [[spoiler:Ga-Bi]]. [[spoiler:His younger sister, Yu-Ha, has the exact opposite situation, with her mother's appearance and her father's personality]].

* WarriorPrince: Aside from Hong-Ryung, there's Mu-Hyang and No-Woo, all three of whom have significant battle prowess. No-Woo seems to have the most battle prowess of the three [[spoiler:prior to Hong-Ryung regaining his divine powers]], that said, Hong-Ryung's best weapon is long-range and Mu-Hyang is never dragged into a serious battle ([[spoiler:thanks to a role as palace-guardian getting severely injured before the story's conflict really gets moving]]).

* TheMole/ ReverseMole: [[spoiler:Ha-Hyeon in a really complicated and convoluted way. She ultimately turns out to be a mole acting as [[TheMole a mole]] for Baek-Yeom]].

* WarriorPrince: Aside from Hong-Ryung, there's Mu-Hyang and No-Woo, all three of whom have significant battle prowess. No-Woo seems to have the most battle prowess of the three [[spoiler:prior to Hong-Ryung regaining his divine powers]], that said, Hong-Ryung's best weapon is long-range and Mu-Hyang is never dragged dragged into a serious battle.

* TheMole: [[spoiler:Ha-Hyeon; since she's ultimately working for Baek-Yeom till the last minute (then she betrays him), she only vaguely qualifies as a ReverseMole.]]

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Ha-Hyeon dies in Hong-Ryung's arms in chapter 134.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone?: [[spoiler:Ga-Bi has this when she realizes she is pregnant and that faking her own death took this second child away from Do-Ahn]].

* NoSenseOfDirection: Ga-Bi manages to get lost in her place of residence and [[Cloudcuckoolander wonders whether her house disappeared]]. Dan has this as an InformedAttribute.

* HowDareYouDieOnMe!: No-Woo pulls this one a lot, generally as a means of encouraging Mu-Hyang, Hong-Ryung, and Hoa-Back to survive. Chapter 83 has a particularly good example. Ji-Eun pulls a toned down version of this at Wi-Jin for his [[spoiler:needing to be rescued from the brink of death]], considering her personality, it doesn't signify any fondness though.

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Hong-Ryung has this, since both of his parents were GoodParents. His half-brother, Mu-Hyang, likewise has this, although [[spoiler:Do-Ahn [[HappilyAdoptedadopted him]] (rather than begot him)]] and Chui-Bi is alive and constantly trying to kill the younger brother [[spoiler:Mu-Hyang is so close to]].

''Divine Bells''[[note]]Also known as Godly Bells [[/note]] is a [[{{KoreanWebtoons}} Korean webcomic]] by Lee Hye. It is a {{Fantasy}} {{Drama}} with a major [[{{TheQuest}} Quest]] set in a [[{{MagicAndPowers}} magical land]] divided into six countries. The titular [[{{AnimateInanimateObject}} bells]] choose their own masters and they determine the status, prestige, and influence of the countries their masters rule, [[spoiler:however, they were sealed away for a long time, so the matter is rather more complicated]]. The presence or lack of these Bells also has great influence on the political status of each country. In particular, the political future of Myung-Joo's King, Hong-Ryung seems doomed without a Bell, but at equally great peril if he obtains one.

When the owner of three of the eight existing Divine Bells dies, leaving them to choose new owners, however, these particular bells always pick the same country. Except this time, and the resulting turmoil leads to a race to find the original creator of the Bells, a mysterious priestess named Ga-Bi.

* DeadpanSnarker: Ha-Hyeon, No-Woo, and Ji-Eun. Other character's sometimes take up the mantel, such as Do-Ahn to his courtiers, or Hong-Ryung when giving a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech (it seems to run in the blood).
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Hong-Ryung has this, since both of his parents were GoodParents.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ji-Eun; Wi-Jin at is left [[spoiler:imprisoned]] in chapter 96 wondering whether her personality is good or bad.

** The ending hints that [[spoiler:No-Woo and Mu-Hyang]] will be this once they marry (it's a [[MaybeEverAfter probably ever after]]). Their proposal is [[WackyMarriageProposal likewise unusual]] and not simply because they propose ''to propose each other''.

* SeeksAnothersResurrection: What turns out to be [[So-Hee]]'s motive for following the BigBad, and is briefly the suspected motive for [[Ha-Hyeon]].

* SeeksAnother'sResurrection: What turns out to be [[So-Hee]]'s motive for following the BigBad, and is briefly the suspected motive for [[Ha-Hyeon]].

* StealthHi/Bye: Ji-Eun, thanks to her powers and temperament.

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Ha-Hyeon's goal itself is harmless, the means, not so much.]]

** This extended lifespan is [[WhoWantsToLiveForever not considered a good thing]], which [[spoiler:Ga-Bi]] in particular is troubled by. For [[spoiler:Ha-Hyeon]], this is coupled with NotGrowingUpSucks.

* SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: [[spoiler:Baek-Yeom's ultimate goal is this, and he starts a pointless war to enable him to commit mass-murder to obtain the means of obtaining the means to do so. He doubles as an OmnicidalManiac.]]

* CameBackWrong: What appears to be the situation with Jin-Won. Turns out, [[spoiler:he was DeadAllAlong]].

* HowDareYouDieOnMe!: No-Woo pulls this one a lot, generally as a means of encouraging Mu-Hyang, Hong-Ryung, and Hoa-Back to survive. Chapter 83 has a particularly good example.

* PerpetualFrowner: Ji-Eun in spades; it's even lampshaded by Hong-Ryung at one point.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Changes with several plot-twists. At first, it appears to be the current emperor of Dae-Hyun, Hyun-Joo. Afterwhich, it is revealed that Hyun-Joo is simply being manipulated by a person from one hundred-fifty years ago: Baek-Yeom, now reincarnated as his brother.]]

* DeadpanSnarker: Ha-Hyeon, No-Woo, and Ji-Eun. Other character's sometimes take up the mantel, such as Do-Ahn to his courtiers.

* MarryForLove: The previous king of Myung-Joo, Do-Ahn, was unwilling to marry [[spoiler:Ga-Bi]] if it were ''using'' her, however, when he thinks "What if I do this because I want to?" he gives her an [[WackyMarriageProposal unusually phrased proposal]].
** The ending hints that [[spoiler:No-Woo and Mu-Hyang]] will be this once they marry. Their proposal is [[WackyMarriageProposal likewise unusual]] and not simply because they propose ''to propose each other''.
** [[spoiler:Jin-Won and So-Hee]], while the groom was alive, anyway.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Hong-Ryung give quite a few of these, the first of which is in chapter 17 to Dong-Hyung. He also gives a long rather scathing one in chapter 100 to Hyun-Joo, that one is ultimately [[InspirationalInsult productive]]. In chapter 132, Hong-Ryung gives one to Baek-Yeom; unfortunately, Baek-Yeom's response to being called insane is "Of Course."
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Mu-Hyang for Hong-Ryung, and it's completely justified (not that it needed to be) considering the risks Hong-Ryung takes in keeping Mu-Hyang at the palace by keeping his illegitimacy quiet.]] [[spoiler:Ha-Hyeon for Ga-Bi.]]
* WarriorPrince: Aside from Hong-Ryung, there's Mu-Hyang and No-Woo, all three of whom have significant battle prowess.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Subverted by Mu-Hyang: he's actually a FakeDefector.]]

** Yun and Guk-Yool's relationship consists of this.

** Not dissimilarly, when Mu-Hyang believes he is dying, [[spoiler:he thinks that No-Woo is only there in his head, so he ends up [[NotSoFinalConfession explaining himself]] and giving a slightly [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove anguished]] DyingDeclarationOfLove. This is at first somewhat played for laughs, once he realizes that No-Woo ''is'' real, but returns to being something of a TearJerker when he faints.]] Later, in chapter 109, [[spoiler:No-Woo nearly has him give one in direct language, and Mu-Hyang [[InterruptedDeclarationOfLove complies... only to be interrupted]].

* PlayingWithFire: Gang-Hui fits this to a T, fiery temper and all.

** For example:[[spoiler:The significance of the stone which breaks in chapter two is found out during the last twenty-five (or so) chapters, when Yu-Ha speaks of Ha-Hyeon. This turns out to be tied to her BerserkButton.]]

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Ha-Hyeon dies in Hong-Ryung's arms.]]
