Amazing series! ☺️❤️ I'll write right away that the review will be long, but read to the end, I think u'll like it and u'll even agree with something) at the end, my little note about the series and the real world).
It gives off a bit of a vibe like the OST "My Demon", the same tragic love, seemingly with an impossible happy ending -, ending happily)
I like series where they mix historical events with reality mixed with magic)! It's so cute?! Gives some kind of ray of light in this everyday life..
A very beautiful love story of the main characters) I liked the plot, although in general it was a little cruel and illogical in relation to Sim Cheung
In the scenes where Heo Joon, for example, treated Sim Cheong badly, took off her bracelet and left her in a shopping center, kicked her out of the house, laughed at her and at the same time worried about where she could go or disappear..well, it was necessary to immediately treat her normally, not kick her out and teach her how and what to do, life in general, so that she would not get into troubles because of him..and so some kind of sadism glorified by the director lol ?
There were many hilarious moments with her, of course, at the beginning, when she did not know how to behave on earth and got into comical situations, and already returning to earth for the 2nd time she behaved "like an experienced woman"?
Also this vile friend of Heo Joona, Jo Nama Doo, who wanted to make money on the mermaid after finding out who Sim Cheung really was, but she didn't lose her head and erased his memory! ?? Bravo! I thought the director would screw up this situation and make it tragic again lol but everything turned out really cool lmao in general, there was a clear moment when Nam Doo caught her off guard, I thought that Heo Joon would be the first to see her as a mermaid..
Heo Joon is great! ☺️ the romantic love line was built very beautifully when he realized that Sim Cheung is a mermaid and protected her later (his actions were not always adequate*) such touching beautiful care) I enjoyed watching, I really enjoyed the script!?? I can't call it cloyingly sweet (although of course it turned out sweet and romantic) but extraordinary care and experiences were shown ..! The actors conveyed these feelings perfectly and looked good together☺️? very harmoniously selected for this role! Jun Ji Hyun & Lee Min Ho did a 100% great job! It was really nice to see them together!))
And Teo, such a modest guy, quietly took pictures of Sim Cheung hahaha
As for Cha Shi Ah and Teo, asians like this kind of plot line, in which the rejected heroine in love suddenly switches to his nondescript friend! It's a bit illogical since in life this is rare, for some reason women are shown in this role as not being able to choose but falling in love with the first person they meet out of desperation just to not be alone... in real life, most adequate people still prefer to choose guys based on their taste and not on the principle of "the dream of my heart refused me, well, ok, I'll be with his friend"?, this is somehow very disgusting ??‍♀️
I was very worried that in the end the Heo Joon & mermaid couple would not be harmed by his friend Nam Doo, since it was not entirely clear who ultimately killed them in their past life and who betrayed them, I was very afraid that this person would turn out to be Nam Doo in the end when he decided to play along with Heo Chi Hyun and kill Heo Joon .. but he did not do so, but revealed the plan of Heo Joon's non-native brother
Although Heo Chi eventually shot and hit the mermaid.I did not expect that she would protect Heo Joon with herself, and in general this scene could have been avoided if Heo Joon had dodged in time and Sim Cheung had not arrived initially, it is not clear why Heo Joon did not devote her to his plans in advance in order to avoid problems, but this was conceived in the script ..
It was frankly disgusting to watch how Heo Chi Hyun, non-native son, does not even try to save his father He Il Cheung, who provided him with a wonderful life, watching how his mother slowly kills He Il Cheung every day.. but if he really wanted to do the right thing or at least pay tribute to his care and love, he could have told Heo Joon the whole truth and saved his father! These are really such vile people and how they are ready to pass on for the sake of money.. Heo Chi Hyun would have left something from the inheritance anyway.. his actions surprised me of course.The only situations that were not revealed were how Heo Joon received the inheritance and what happened to Ma Dae Yeon..
The result: is a beautiful, very touching love story between a man and a mermaid with such tender, heartbreaking care? (Lee Min Ho just burned with tender love in Jun Ji Hyun’s gaze!) that you involuntarily become imbued with their feelings! ☺️ There is no naked passion here that makes u bored in TV series where the line is something like "met... fell in love... well, we can f*ck now" ??‍♂️, but strong feelings of love of a person who is ready to wait as long as it takes just to be with his beloved and who really suffers from separation but is ready to give everything just so that his beloved is comfortable... A wonderful film, after it there are no cloying sediments from untruth and all this pink snot, it seems so real... So tender... So deep ❤️
And now about real life ? if in reality all guys treated women with the same care and love, experiences as Heo Joon to Sim Cheung, then couples would be the happiest on earth lol but of course this does not happen often ..( or in most cases lol ) ... very rarely, remember ur friends... where a person cares about another not because he needs something from him in the future, not because of money or one night, but because he really loves and he enjoys caring and making another happy) ..yes this series is very far from reality and at the same time real, well probably because the actors perfectly conveyed this atmosphere of true love? I can say this series should be recommended to men, as a guide to action lol then there will be more happiness in life and koreans will stop being offended by idols?
