The Little Mermaid, Kdrama not Disney

Take my favourite childhood cartoon, stretch it by ten times its duration, remove Ursula and all the lovely Menken melodies, replace it with the stomach growls of a perpetually hungry Gianna Jun, throw in the neuralyser from Men In Black, and you've got this Legend of the Blue Sea. A tad too formulaic in many spots, but one is tempted to overlook them all, as the pleasant young official always has. The parallel storylines, and seemingly inevitable historic doppelgangers raise a lot of questions, but ultimately, it all ties together all right. The fishy bits were rendered quite well too.
