Storyline
Lee Min-ho plays two characters, Kim Dam-ryeong (from Joseon era) and Heo Joon-jae (from modern era).
Jun Ji-hyun acts as Se-hwa (a mermaid during Joseon era) and Shim Cheong (a mermaid in the modern era).
Dam-ryeong and Se-hwa have an ill-fated love whereby the former was killed by greedy noblemen (going after mermaid's tears), and the latter decided to die together with Dam-ryeong.
Fast forward to modern era, Joon-jae, a con-artist who met up with Shim Cheong while he was in Spain for vacation. Joon-jae slowly built up his feelings for Shim Cheong though he knew about her mermaid's identity.
Joon-jae unexpectedly discovered Dam-ryeong's belongings in an exhibition. Dam-ryeong left a message (for Joon-jae) about his dreams. Dam-ryeong mentioned that history would repeat itself with Joon-jae and Shim Cheong both ended up in tragedy.
My View
I could still remember the time when Joon-jae (who was able to listen to Shim Cheong's mind) went crazy listening to Shim Cheong all the time.
There was this cute part where a fellow merman (Jo Jung-suk) taught Shim Cheong how to earn monies by crying. Their tears literally turned into pearls.
Shim Cheong's character is pretty adorable having all sorts of childish actions while staying at Joon-jae's home.
