As a fan of Lee Min Ho I can say all his charms were perfectly squeezed together into the character Heo Joon Jae.

The story was interesting but as it progressed it felt unnecessarily long and drawn out. The whole “I’m a conman” was used to pick up the story whenever it got a bit slow so it soon lost all credibility and potential. In all this drama does a lot... too much. There are so many elements from different genres it looses itself and becomes your typical crime drama.

It upset me how the fact she’s (sorry I forgot her name haha!) a mermaid just gets forgotten by the end. It’s never really explored after the first half despite being one of the main plot points. The only reason it’s there is to add even more tragedy to Joon Jaes life which at that point is old news.

The OST isn’t that memorable but does it’s job by setting the tone, but sometimes it’s a bit distracting.

Despite all of that however, i always come back! This makes it sound terrible but I always put this on when I’m going to sleep. The whole tone and atmosphere is addicting added with the direction and cinematography that gives it the mystical vibe. The story as a whole was trying to achieve too much but what came out as a result is a refreshing drama that is entertaining to watch purely for entertainment. If you want a drama that you can dissect I really wouldn’t recommend this to you but it’s definitly worth a watch nonetheless.
