With nowhere to go, Shim Chung is taken in by Joon Jae, who also finds his con partners, Jo Nam Doo and Tae Oh, hiding out in his home from a vengeful past victim of their scams.

Main cast: Shim Cheong is a mermaid. She follows Joon-jae to Seoul after developing feelings for him in Spain. He names her Shim Cheong, which means "extremely stupid", as she is highly ignorant about the common things on land. She has super strength and the ability to read and erase one's memories.

Review: It is my first Kdrama and I really enjoyed it. It was a mix of romance, comedy, action and fantasy which I loved. — It was just super fun to watch. Another thing I loved was the chemistry — The two leads were amazing. I never got bored. Every episode was interesting.
