Dang I really wanted to like this drama but this fell short for me :( When I saw the trailer for this drama I was so excited ! argh... I honestly wasnt feeling the drama or the storyline... It wasn't well developed...

Male lead is super cute btw!!He is a dragon but has been stuck for 5000 years ? and can't go back into the ocean aka his home because he doesnt have the ni ling ( or a special scale). This is because he gave it to this little girl. The little wanted to use the scale to save her village from dying. The little girl disappears and the dragon thinks the girl tricked him, thus making him not believe in love... Fast forward, he meets a girl similar to the girl from before. The female lead is a daughter of an official in the court. She is loud and proud. Turns out they are neighbors and they start to fall in love with each other, with the encounters of few evil characters . One tries to get into a marriage with the female lead but she doesnt like him. The other evil is the dragon's elder brother who tries to get the special scale for himself to get higher powers/stronger? ( i believe)

here comes the rant
1) the little girl part was like not even important ... why included it. I mean it would of been cool to include if she was her reincarnation or somehow the little girl turned out to be the female lead but it obviously wasn't because of the time frame...
2) storyline was very choppy and not developed well.. The female lead had blind hope that someone will help set her dad free from prison ?? In the town there was the case of people getting killed and stealing hearts, claiming it was an evil dragon... how did they make the connection it was the male lead who was the dragon?
3) honestly did not understand why the dragon's evil brother had to hire the human ( who's evil) to try to set up his brother? The evil people who did evil things was actually pretty successful... I mean if you want the special scale, you can just killed the female lead? why go through so much to frame the male lead when he doesnt even have the special scale anymore...
4) romance was not very believe able, did not have much chemistry. Dont get me wrong the male lead is good looking but the chemistry between the leads was just lacking... although they did have this one cute moment of kissing ( pretty passionate) and then they went underseas....
5) towards the end it got so messy... like cramming in a lot.. It should of ended at like 21 ep, then it just dragged. She sacrificed for him to get back into the water... Male lead tries to do something to save her...

I liked the music though!!! very nice. sad that 24 episodes did not meet my standard :(
