Legend of the blue sea is a Korean drama having 16 episodes and starring Lee Min-Ho and Jun Ji-Hyun in the lead.
I loved this drama a lot and would highly recommend people to watch it. It tells a love story between a man and a mermaid. The story begins in an historic era where Dam Ramyeon falls in love with a mermaid named Swa Hwae but have a tragic ending but now in 2016 they meet again fall in love again.
Spoiler Alert
After watching it there are several questions in my mind first being were, they trying to show parallel universe or reincarnation? If it was parallel universe then that says why things were repeating itself but if it was reincarnation how come the entire people of that time and this time are reincarnated at the same time? Also the fact that every one of them are able to recollect their past self somehow.
The negative characters. They were portrayed vaguely and so was their ending. The biggest negative character that I feel in this series was Father of Hoo Joon Jae, like seriously that man lived with no guilt and after one sorry that too over voice mail he died and people forgave him. He was wrong in so many ways and I hate him the most in the entire series. He was happy with his wife and son suddenly the second negative character Kang Jiyeon his wife classmate enters he let himself get seduce by her, divorce his wife, separate the mother and child with no accurate reason, does not care for his biological son at all, every damn time wronged him, didn’t look for him when he left home but during the time he was bound to retire makes a will and gives everything to his biological son and tries to find him, and not give a damn about his step son and wife whom he literally chose. Like seriously man how dumb are you and for 17 years they are together and he don’t know anything about his second wife not even her real name. And dies just like that. I wish they made him atleast.
I wish they showed more past of Hoe Chi-Hyun, he was shown as a negative character but he was not negative in my point of view, I feel sad for him, I wished he had not died either
Then I wanted to know more about the girl who was hybrid in the past and hence could hear the mermaid but what about the present life her parents had already divorced so she could not have been a hybrid then how come she could hear the mermaid?
Most annoying part of the series is the memory loss. Every time anyone lose their memory they felt like they were missing something and tried hard to remember it. But the three year leap, everyone looses their memories since Sim Cheon was a major part of it they must be feeling they are missing something major but they don’t they just move on with their life.
Though I loved the series these things keep on puzzling me but all I can think is it’s series so just go with the flow, the plus points are the major cute and innocent scene when the mermaid comes to the land for the first time. It makes us warm inside and excitement goes on till the end and many things happen that makes you wondering that this really didn’t happen right now. All in all its very enjoyable.
