I can't wait for this to air....looks so good!

Noooooo....the trailer is already making me tear up! I don't want to see Jisoo this way. It'll be hard for me to watch this... :"(

Oh...and I forgot to mention that this romance basically incorporates lots of drinking and alcohol. There were hardly any eps where the female lead isn't drinking and getting drunk. And the actress is pretty good in breaking out in tears at the drop of a hat. She cries at anything but mostly due to all the dumb and stupid things she does and then facing criticism from everyone around her especially the "mother in law". The beginning of the episode will tell you exactly what kind of person the female lead is. She has absolutely no common sense or pride and will often create scenes which was one of the things that attracted the male lead to get her to act as his gf to deter his mom from trying to get him married. And what adult male lets his mom blackmail him into marrying someone? He is a plastic surgeon who makes good money but is threatened by his mom that if he doesn't get married he will lose the home he loves. I would have just called her on it...and if he loses his home...yes...I know this home has a special meaning to him but to allow his mom to threaten him?.....NO....then go and buy another one....a better one!

One of those annoying romances where the female lead is this self sacrificing people pleasing martyr who wants to take the blame for every thing that goes wrong around her. The male lead is too stubborn to say what he really feels and allows his mom and others to judge his life. There are so many misunderstandings in this rom.com and so much stubbornness on the parts of the leads that if they had just talked things out, the drama would have concluded much earlier with less stress and aggravation on the parts of viewers. There is the typical conniving ex that tries her hardest to get the male lead back and the constant rejections on his part doesn't deter her. The second leads are always rearing their ugly heads and interfering with the couple. But despite this, I kept watching because I wanted to see the leads finally find their way to love despite the constant push and pulls, stops and starts between the two. There are funny hilarious laugh out scenes which kept me going from this frustrating romance. Also there were a lot of inconsistencies in this drama which indicated to me that the editing process for this drama left a lot to be desired. The incident with the chicken and ginseng soup pot was unbelievable; the female lead would constantly leave in the middle of her job to go to the beck and call of the male lead's mom and basically drop whatever she was doing to answer to the "mother in law" - that was simply ridiculous. At what point does one just say "NO!" I have about 4 more eps to go so it better be good to justify all my aggravation watching this!

I loved this drama and how it ended. But totally not happy with the pairing of Tae and Shi Ah. Shi Ah didn't deserve the adorable Tae with her bitchy personality and she didn't redeem herself in my eyes at all. She needed to be on her own to reflect how she could be a better person in the future. Tae deserved someone better! I don't know why people didn't think there was chemistry between LMH and JJH - I thought they were totally adorable together and I loved their acting here. Some of the storyline plots were unrealistic but then again this is a love story between a human and a "mermaid" so reality has to be suspended here. I loved LMH here as I did when he was in King Eternal.

This drama has been put on my Top 10 list for romantic dramas. I can't say enough about this drama - absolutely amazing with the leads and their supporting cast. Jo In Sung stands out with his awesome portrayal of a man who has had to live with the guilt of what happened that fateful day and who eventually spirals down to mental illness. Incredible story that will leave you with a gamut of feelings culminating in such a perfect ending!
