Sometime during August, 1958, newly appointed governor Dam Ryung stays for a night at an inn. During that evening, the owner shows Dam Ryung a captured mermaid named Shim Cheong. Later that night, Dam Ryung releases her into the ocean and, before she swims away, she reaches out her hand to Dam Ryung which he briefly holds.
In the present day, Joon-Jae is a smooth talking conman with magician like abilities. He works with Nam-Doo and Tae-O. For their next score, Joon-Jae impersonates a prosecutor and swindles a large amount of money from a wealthy suspect's mother. Joon-Jae then travels abroad and stays at an oceanside resort. Meanwhile, Shim Cheong is swept up in a tidal wave and washed ashore near the oceanside resort. She sees Joon-Jae.
My Thoughts:
My goodness, this drama is super funny that I laughed so hard. It was so damn enjoyable and the slapstick comedy is to die for. This is a drama to watch for sure. I am still only at episode 4 so I have nothing much to say yet about the plot other than the smooth way they blend comedy into the plot. There are times when the story just needs a break from all the cool and serious stuffs and then includes the comedy factor and sometimes they will input the seriousness that we need. The interchange is clever and well-executed.
I will say one other thing, the actor and actress did a damn fine job to liven up the comedy and I have to say that the actress worked hard to make the show all the more enjoyable. The exaggerated acting was just on point that it was not too much to take in at once. The drama is just getting started and I am expecting a lot for this drama especially since this is a fantasy drama, so anything can happen and variables are everywhere. The potential is endless. I seriously can't wait for the next episode...
