Okay this review is about 4 years late! This quarantine made me binge watch kdramas! So here I go with LOTBS review.
First of all one of the best story lines ever! Park Ji-un knows how to write some feel good drama! this fairy tale turn modern twist story will keep you on the hook from the very beginning to end! Lee min ho as Prince Charming and Jun Ji hyun as the mermaid that fell in love with a human.
Lee Min ho is truly a great actor. He embodied his character really well. From a high elite Dam Ryung of the Joseon era to Jun Jae of the modern time, he knew how to keep us love both characters on their own way.
Jun Ji hyun as mermaid is phenomenal! I can’t think of anyone else that can portray that character better than her. She has the right physical appearance and she has the right approach to the character. Her comedic performance will keep you literally laughing out loud ! she did very well!
Their chemistry is soooo good! I’ve been following The Eternal King of lee min ho and I tell ya, his chemistry with Ji hyun is way better than his co star in that show. It’s so good that you would wish they are a true couple. With that said they both acted really well on this.
The story is one of a kind. Yes I know most kdrama is all about destiny and fate kinda thing, but man oh man this one I have never seen before. the story from the past is bound to repeat itself. now it’s up to our lead actors to change it. For the sake of the drama it did! They managed to change their fate into a beautiful happy ending. Ahhh!!! I cried of happy tears! ??
So this drama has it all! Comedy, romance, suspense, history, Love for the family, test of friendships and a whole lot more! Go watch it! You will not be disappointed! I promise! jun Jae and sim cheong forever!!! ?
