... that a Korean Buddhist temple (pictured) is related to a legend where a man turned into a snake after his failed love with a princess?

Source: 옛날 당나라 태종에게 어여쁜 공주가 있었다. 그런데 그 공주를 짝사랑하는 청년이 평민이었다는 것이 문제였다. 신분의 차이로 사랑을 이룰 수 없었던 총각은 상사병에 걸렸고, 분노한 왕은 그를 죽인다. 하지만 죽어서도 공주와 함께 하겠다는 총각은 상사뱀으로 환생해 공주의 다리에 달라붙었다. (Once upon a time, Emperor Taizong of Tang had a pretty princess. However, the problem was that the young man who had a crush on the princess was a commoner. The bachelor, who was unable to achieve love due to differences in status, became lovesick, and the angry king killed him. However, even after he died, the bachelor who wanted to be with the princess was reborn as a lovesick snake and stuck to the princess' leg.) Kangwon Domin Ilbo

- Comment: I have visited this temple and found the legend interesting. The hook can be reworded but I want it to be about the legend.

Date, size (over 300 prose words+list, not a stub), spotchecks, hook, QPQ (not needed) - all GTG. With the caveat that I find such hooks effectively WP:DYKFICTION-failing, but WP:DYKFICTION is explicitly about creative works, and here we have a temple. But it's amusing how effectively a "plot summary" is ok in such cases. Shrug. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:13, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- If the hook mentioning a fictional story is a problem, I will reword it to ALT1: that a Korean Buddhist temple (pictured) has a gate and a pagoda related to a legend where a man turned into a snake after his failed love with a princess? KimYubin (talk) 05:11, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
