"The Legend of the Blue Sea" is a fantasy love drama broadcast on South Korea's SBS TV on Mizuki on November 16, 2016, it has been nearly four years since then, and I remember that it was very popular when it was broadcast, unfortunately I only recently watched it in its entirety, and I feel that both the plot and the acting are very online.
Starring Lee Min-ho and Jeon Ji-hyun, the drama is a series of stories that occur in the process of adapting to land life after the mermaid, a mermaid in danger of extinction on modern Earth, and a series of stories that occur in the process of adapting to land life after the mermaid in the danger of extinction on the modern earth meets the genius swindler of the city. Even now, the two leading actors are still popular and highly reputable actors, and the CP formed at that time was also pleasing to the eye.
The mermaid played by Quan Jixian in the play is both an ancient Shihua and a modern Shen Qing, who came ashore with the purest and most thorough heart and fell in love with a man on the shore. As a mermaid, she has a special ability not only to turn tears into pearls, but also to erase the memories in the human mind that she wants to erase.
Lee Min-ho also plays two roles in the play, which is not only the ancient upright and brave county order, but also the modern genius liar who "fights evil with evil", his fate with the mermaid is predestined, even if the memory is erased, the love for her in the heart has never changed, and this love will eventually push the two to walk together.
Fate has entangled the two in their past lives and this life, enjoying sweet love at the same time, crisis also ensues, accompanied by their reincarnation is also accompanied by villains, namely Ma Daying, Jiang Ruixi, Xu Zhixian. During the Joseon Dynasty, the evil merchant Yang Shi (modern Ma Daying) always wanted to capture the mermaid, extract fish oil from her, and use the mermaid's tears to obtain endless wealth, while his lover (hyun-hyun Kang Seo-hee) aided in the abuse, and in one arrest, Se Hwa and Kim Yong-young eventually died under the harpoon of Yang's son (hyun-hyun Heo Ji-hyun).
Under the hint of fate, all this will eventually repeat itself in modern times, Jiang Ruixi is Heo Joon-jae's vicious stepmother, Ma Daying is her lover and a murderer, and Xu Zhixian is also driven by interests from the original "filial piety" to an accomplice to his father. In the crisis after crisis, the two also realized that the tragedy was about to happen again, but Shen Qing was glad that this time he blocked the gun for Junzai, protected him, and then returned to the sea alone to heal his wounds, and when he recovered, he returned to Junzai again to stay with him, and the two finally sweetly together and lived a happy life.
Judging from these introductions, everyone may think that this is like a tragedy, but in fact, on the contrary, there are many laughs and very happy when watching.
Mermaid Shen Qing just came ashore because she didn't know anything about human life and made a lot of jokes, she didn't know how to eat with tools, she didn't know the language of human beings, she didn't know anything about the world, but she was a full foodie, full of delicious food and handsome Xu Junzai, and Quan Jixian's superb acting skills also made this role more joyful.
And Xu Junzai is a genius liar full of money, although he cheats money, but he cheats the money illegally obtained by the chaebol tycoon, and at the same time, he is brave and brave, always helping the vulnerable. He's been saving money since he ran away from home in high school, hoping to one day find his mom and buy her a big house. When he first met Shen Qing, he was also interested in the jade bracelet, but he didn't expect to put his heart into it for a bracelet.
The interaction between the two is always very interesting and loving, but Junzai, who is outwardly disgusted with Shen Qing, always can't help but care for her, love her, prepare her a lot of delicious food, and give up her disgraceful career. In addition, Zhao Nandou, Che Shiya, Tai Wu and other characters also bear many funny scenes, and the cameos of Che Taixian, Zheng Xiujing and others are also surprising.
Zhao Nandou is also a person who sees money and opens his eyes, it is he who led Junzai into the world of fraud, with a thick dialect tone, a cheerful smile, great affinity, although he loves money, he pays attention to principles and is very moralistic.
Tae Wu is the little friend of Heo Joon-jae and Cho Nam-doo, the taciturn Hua Mei male hacker, who is unmatched in hacking and counterfeiting and other technologies, whether it is a key or anything, as long as it passes through his hand, it will be able to unlock it, and he is a universal terminator. At first, he liked Shen Qing, but in a fraud mistake, he confessed Che Shiya in order to break the siege for Joon Jae and NanDou, and triggered a series of funny plots.
Che Shiya is a cultural relics researcher, secretly in love with (also can be regarded as Ming love) Junzai for seven years, and therefore has hostility to Shen Qing, but there is no bad thoughts, mistakenly thinking that Tai Wu likes himself and is a little complacent, but also a little narcissistic, and finally with Tai Wu.
Overall, this is really an interesting little sweet drama, and all the staff are acting online, even after so many years, it is still not outdated!
