A very pleasant drama , which does not experience a crisis of boredom in the middle of the series.
The main characters are very interesting. This is the first drama in which I saw Lee Min Ho and I must admit that I liked his acting very much. His look expresses a lot of emotions. You might also be satisfied with Jeon Ji Hyun's actress. Between them you can feel romance and love. It was very pleasant to look at them.
I liked the "work" of the cheaters very much. It held a little bit of tension, it had a little fun and above all made Heo Jun Jea attractive in my eyes.
I like the fact that the main characters quite often get physically close to each other (of course not going beyond the limits of decency, so much emphasized in dramas). This makes the drama pleasant and funny.
As for the fantasy theme, it is not presented here in an original way. It's hard to believe that sirens would swim in a costume covering their chest. I shouldn't pay attention to this,. After all, there are age limits here. Well, I like authenticity, reality even in film or series productions that deal with supernatural phenomena (that's why this issue bothered me a little).
Despite the nice feeling after watching the whole drama in 3 days, I would like to briefly point out its disadvantages. First of all, the character of the main character's brother (played by Lee Ji Joon) is illogical here. I miss a clear reason why he changed his attitude towards the problems he was facing so suddenly.
What's more, I also missed a shot of Heo Jun Jae's brotherly friendship. The younger hacker was treated as a meaningless character, and that's a pity, because I think the three of them had an interesting potential.
The drama replicates a recurring pattern, typical of romantic comedies - "if something bad is happening, I won't tell you about it". This is not how relationships should function. If we show some ideal world (their love is perfect), let's at least show how important is honesty in a relationship. It's no harm to be honest about what our lovely mermaid had to do. Really, such a melodramatic ending is not very convincing, especially when we shout out loud "why couldn't you tell him about it?". Her behavior made no sense.
However, I think that drama is recommendable, especially for those who want to rest and relax after a hard day.
