Legend of the Blue Sea opens up with the new mayor Dam Ryung during the Joseon dynasty and he is shown a 'new gift' by the corrupted and evil nobleman Ma Dae Young. The new gift turns out to be an extraordinary beautiful mermaid Shim Chung who was caught stranded at the beach net.
Dam Ryung's eyes didn't flick much upon seeing Shim Chung instead he talked about the corruption plans instigated by Ma and his cronies. In order to cover his guilt, Ma released Shim Chung back to the sea after Dam Ryung asked for the favor. A village man said that a mermaid has the power to erase the memory of the human when she touches the hand. However she can choose not to do so. Fate has bonded the two together as Dam Ryung meets up with Shim Chung again whenever he lights up the lanterns nearby the sea.
We fast forward to the future where the doppelganger Heo Joon Jae is a professional swindler. He works alongside with another swindler Jo Nam Doo and IT geek Tae Oh. They swindled rich men to rich women from different areas. Joon Jae stumbles across Shim Chung who barges into his villa. He thinks she is a screw loose so he sends her to the police station. The mermaid doesn't speak a word but her actions cracked everyone up. Her supernatural power sends police and people all over the place. Joon Jae pities her and takes her in to stay with him. In fact he was only eyeing on the 400-year old jade bracelet worn on Shim Chung's wrist that belongs to Dam Ryung.
I'd say some of the graphics especially on Jeon Ji Hyun's mermaid tail doesn't seem so real but I can bear with it. Jeon's usual antics and expression were priceless and made everyone laughed. However when she smiles sweetly at the camera, it has certainly melt many hearts.
The overseas filming area is fantastic and scenic. Minoz fans would be thrilled to see Lee Min Ho back in action as the fuzzy hilarious role. For I know I'd be looking forward to tune into SBS channel on every Wed-Thu for this drama prime time.
