I am so happy to see Wendy back and producing music after her terrible accident in 2020. She has recovered, is looking fabulous, and her fellow Red Velvet members are supporting her like crazy. So, I had to get a copy of Wendy Like Water, her 1st Mini-Album to support this vocal queen. Keep reading to find out what comes with the album, my thoughts, and where you can pick up a copy.
Things to know about the Wendy Like Water 1st Mini-Album:
- There are 2 versions of this album:
- Photobook (shown)

- CD
- Photobook (128 pages)
- Cover
- Postcards (2 versions)
- Bookmarks (1 of 2 versions)

K-Points: 478/5
Honestly, this album is everything that I hoped for from Wendy. It’s beautiful and ethereal. This is the kind of solo release that Wendy deserved for her return, and I couldn’t be happier. I absolutely love the photobook, and all of the colors Wendy is wearing are amazing on her.
If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions over on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for Red Velvet RBB, which you can watch below:
So should you get yourself a copy of this album? I don’t think you can go wrong with anything done by Wendy. She is an incredible vocalist and I love seeing more work from her. That being said, this mini-album is a lot more chill than her releases a Red Velvet, so if you want to buy a more peppy album, go for one of their other releases.
Where Can I Buy It?
I picked up my copy of this album Music Plaza LA. You can get a copy here for $24.99, plus shipping. Additionally, if you have never used Music Plaza before, this link will get you an extra 5% off of your first purchase! You can also order a copy of the album from eBay, as they typically have good prices. This link will help you with your search. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the Rakuten extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over $80 back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!
If you’ve never used Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers on there as well!
Rakuten also has a Google Chrome extension that will tell you as soon as you log onto a site that has cashback with a little pop-up in the corner so that you can ensure you are saving money!
Can I get it on Amazon?
Yes! You can pick up a copy using this link for about 30 dollars, with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you can get a 30-day free trial using this link here. I will not lie, the free 2-day shipping, plus all of the free music and videos are totally worth it. I also now use it for books for my Kindle Paper White too, and it is honestly a lifesaver. They have a program called Kindle Unlimited where you can check out 10 books at a time, read them, and put them back in the Kindle library. The program costs $7.99 a month, and you get the first 30 days for free with this link.
Are you as excited as me to see Wendy back, K-Nuggets? Let me know in the comments below!
사랑합니다!
