41. The Korean Ocean Legend

Princess Ariel returned to the big screen but not everybody liked it. If you're looking to replenish the thirst for a good legend story this summer, this Korean drama may work for you. An old Korean record from the 16th century shows that there were multiple mermaid sighting back then. Suppose it's true, what if one of those mermaids is still alive, and walking among us? Unlike Ariel, this Korean mermaid is neither a princess nor a delicate creature. She is physically a lot stronger than humans, can learn a language overnight, and can transform between legs and fin whenever she goes in and out of water. But the Korean mermaids have one fatal weakness. Once they fall in love with a human, they must earn the love back otherwise their heart will get hardened, killing them eventually. The Legend of the Blue Sea is a perfect romantic comedy to enjoy in the summer as if it's taking us on a vacation by the ocean.
