O que dizer desse dorama, que tem uma cinematografia deslumbrante. A historia é narrada em dois tempos, senda um na era disnatica e outro na era contenporanea, e particulamente achei muito legal, por que na maioria quando tem esse detalhe a serie fica entediante e acaba perdendo o foque da narraçao. E aqui não cada tempo é uma justificativa do que aconteceu ou estar pra acontecer. O DORAMA É SOBRE UM ROMANCE ENTRE UM HOMEN DE FAMILIA RICA QUE SE APAIXONA POR UMA SEREIA. E OBVIAMENTE ESSE AMOR SOFRE MUITO INTERFERENCIA TANTO DAS PESSOAS QUANTO DO AMBIENTE, POIS UM MORA NA TERRA E A OUTRA NA AGUA. E PRA PIORAR ELE É COMPROMETIDO E ELA POR SER SEREIA AS PESSOAS TEM BASTANTE MEDO POR ASSOCIAR ELA COM OS EVENTOS CATASTROFICO QUE ACONTECE NO LUGAR .
e por conta disso eles não vivem esse amor, mas em uma outra vida eles acabam se reecontrando, só que detalhe ela esta como humana por pouco tempo. Mas durante esse tempo ela conveve com as pessoas e é muito engraçado por que ela nunca tinha feito isso é tudo bastante novo, a mesma virou dorameira. Eu fiquei chocada, pq tipo um personagem de dorama que vira dorameira eu fiquei😳😳😄😄 então ta, né. Ela tentando imitar a estatua ou quando tentava comer os peixes no aquario é hilario.
A TRAMA FALA DE ASSUNTOS REAIS TAMBEM, TIPO.
COMO UMA ESTRUTURA FAMILIAR É DE SUMA IMPORTANCIA PARA AS CRIANÇAS , E QUANDO ESSA BASA DESMORONA E A UNICA ALTERNATIVA É O DIVORCIO, SÃO OS PEQUENOS QUE LEVAM O MAIOR IMPACTO, E ISSO FOI TRATADO NO PERSONAGEM HEON JEOON - JAE. O PAI DESCONTAVA O DIVORCIO NO FILHO, A MÃE DO POBRE FOI EMBORA POR MOTIVOS BANAIS. APESAR DELE SER RETRATADA COMO UM VIGARISTA. No fundo a criatura so queria a atençao de uma pessoa que realmente gostasse dele, e notamos seu amadurecimento quando ele revive o amor com a sereia. Não curte muito o final pois aquele canalha do pai dele teve um fim mediocre, só a morte foi pouco. O vilão tambem teve um fim bem mediano, entao teve coisa que nao gostei, mas de resto eu curtir.

mergulhei nesse dorama e me apaixonei
eu lembro de quando estreou, lembro de ser um dos primeiros doramas que acompanhei e assisti na vida, ah, bons tempos...tudo é bem vívido na minha mente, a excelente atuação, a boa dosagem de comédia, drama e ação, os momentos marcantes, todas as músicas (perfeitas por falar nisso), foi um dorama muito lindo de assistir, muito mágico!
cheguei a rever com minha mãe e minha melhor amiga um tempo depois, elas amaram!
eu super recomendo, pode assistir sem receio, é quase certeza que assim como eu, minha mãe e minha melhor amiga, você vá amar!

A história e a atuação são os pontos altos!
Esss dorama é incrível em todos os sentidos! Eu caí de paraquedas nele e se tornou um dos meus favorito. A trama do principal ir relembrando os personagens da sua vida passada, e mostrando que eles são consequências ou pessoas tentando mudar (ser perdoadas) pelo que fizeram na voda passada é muito intrigante e emocionante. Além disso a sereia vivenciou todas as épocas dele e ficou esperando por ele até que ele lembrasse dela, isso foi muito lindo mesmo soando triste. E era muito poético quando ela chorava e as lágrimas dela se transformavam em pérolas. O casal principal tinha muita química e era muito fofoo. A sereia conversando com ele por olhar até que ele entende e responde aí MARAVILHOSO ;( quero reverEsta resenha foi útil para você?
Ainda apaixonada pelo drama
Esse foi um dos dramas que estrearam bem na época em q entrei no mundo dos dramas asiáticos,e eu sempre assistia ao trailer,mas continuava deixando na minha lista.Uma pena eu ter esperado tanto tempo para assistir,pois a história é super legal e diria que até única,os personagens não ficam se separando por qualquer coisa o tempo todo,e principalmente n tem aquela coisa de se separarem por serem "diferentes" (no caso por ela ser sereia e ele humano).
Achei super interessante o passado e o futuro se conectarem,acho q foi uma das coisas q tornou a história mais interessante.Os personagens são muito engraçados,e em certos momentos faziam vc dúvidar deles,mas sempre dava certo no final.
Sobre o final,achei um pouco previsivel,mas gostei do q ele fez kkk Ah antes de me esquecer,amei a amiga dela q morava na rua,que também era amiga da personagem dela em My love from the star kk

Completamente apaixonada
Esse drama ficou anos na minha lista, comecei ele uma vez assim que lançou mas acabei dropando nem passei do primeiro episodio mas resolvi dar mais uma chance para ele esse ano pq na minha cabeça esse drama nn tinha como ser ruim por motivos de: Sereia,Lee Min Ho e Park Jinyoung! Literalmente, nn tinha como dar errado essa combinação, tudo que eu mais gosto junto!Enfim, comecei ele de novo esse ano e me apaixonei perdidamente. A historia realmente é maravilhosa o elenco também e as Osts nem se fala uma mais perfeita que a outra
O que eu mais gostei foi o fato de ser um amor de outras vidas, eu realmente adora essa temática em qualquer tipo de dorama, saber que eles estavam destinados a ficar juntos aquece muito meu coração e dessa vez não foi diferente. Eu realmente senti química nesse casal e os beijos... Era cada beijo que meu deus do céu, realmente me surpreendeu
Eu acho que vale muito a pena assistir e se deixar levar pela historia de amor dos dois que é perfeita
Só tiveram algumas coisas que me deixaram incomodada que no caso eu decidi nem tirar pontos, já que o drama foi tão bom , me surpreendeu e me deixou feliz por bastante tempo eu acabei decidindo nn rebaixar a nota por conta de pequenas cenas e ações dos personagens
Mesmo com essas pequenas coisas que me fizeram passar raiva ele ainda merece a nota máxima!
Estou mito feliz por ter assistido ele nessa época, foi algo que me deixou muito feliz na quarentena e acabou me alegrando bastante todos os dias em que eu assistia
Agr me deixa que eu vou ali chorar pq nunca vou ter alguém como o Heo Joon Jae na minha vida...

Fun. Touching. Plus light-heartedly questioning the matter of course of human interaction
"The Legend of the Blue Sea" refers to a very old Korean legend that originally tells the lovestory between a mermaid and a fisherman. However, the KDrama is just loosely based on this fairy tale.In the rich Korean folklore of "Imuldam" (mostly oral shamanic songs, myths, fairy tales and folk tales) which is still very much alive today, there are frequently supernatural beings that move around in the earthly dimension - whether mermaids, a nine-tailed fox, a Goblin, or other spirits. These "Imuldam" are particularly inspired by shamanism and Buddhism. KDramas repeatedly pick up motifs from this tradition and find contemporary ways to keep them alive and reinterpret them. The special attraction arises from the fact that our human world receives a different value, appreciation and perspective through the eyes of those non-human creatures less influenced by time and space.
"The Legend of the Blue Sea" is based on a mermaid caught in a net by a fisherman in the early Joseon era. Then he fell in love with her. However, mermaids rarely feature in Korean folklore otherwise. The topic makes a nice link to western tradition and that's probably how it was intended. Also, parts of the KDrama play outside of South Korea - in Spain.
At the same time, the story takes up another, widespread and popular motif in KDrama orbit: reincarnation. Most of the time it is about souls that were not able to complete certain experiences in the past and are confronted with these or similar situations again in their present incarnation - in order to do things better or differently. In "The Legend of the Blue Sea", the historical fairy tale from back then and its version, transposed into the present day, are developed in parallel in two narrative threads. Just as the protagonist (and also another character) slowly (again) remember their past life, we, too, experience what really happened back then. Eventually the question arises whether life must necessarily repeat itself or else other decisions could be made.
Actress Jun Ji-hyun obviously enjoys her character as a humorous, mischievous mermaid, innocently and ignorantly experiencing the modern human world. With her performance she definitely jazzes the story up. Her sometimes almost naive trust, which is a bit reminiscent of a puppy in places, stands in warming contrast to the distanced, calculating coolness of her Jack of Hearts in 2017. The picture is completed by - here and there - being able to look back into their Joseon past, where he rather personifies an amorous, honorable nobleman.
Ultimately, this KDrama offers a well-designed dramaturgical variety of telling an enchanting love story in two different ways - and at the same time (with a twinkle of an eye) questioning the matter of course of human habits and interaction.
It´s fun and touching.

I will start with the leads, who are of course major, and a great match. Lee Min Ho and Jun Ji Hyun are awesome to watch together. They look great, they play off of each other well, their chemistry was great at first, then just ok, but they still did not disappoint me. The supporting cast was also great! Heo Joon Jae's partners in crime were a great non traditional bromance. I loved Shim Chung's random friends as well, especially cute but wise Seo Yoon Ah (played by the impressive young actress Shin Rin Ah from "Marriage Contract"). It even had some good villains (which I won't spoil), and an awesome cameo (that was a really nice surprise). So, why didn't i love this show as much as I should have? The plot is very VERY mediocre.
The concept is great, especially in the beginning. It's The Little Mermaid, mixed with Splash, with some thriller elements thrown in. Legend is mainly a romance, but there are some action thriller moments, and there is definitely comedy too. The story, I think, tried to do too much and became more convoluted, and less interesting. There are flashes into the past that are meant to make me care more about the plot, but I just became annoyed because to me it was all so predictable, and repetitive. I wasn't exactly bored by the plot however. I still enjoyed watching because the cast made it entertaining, but the story just felt like it was dragging along at times. Eventually the mystery thriller story resolved, and what aimed to be an emotional love story didn't make me tear up once. Suddenly all that great chemistry turned into two stars doing what's expected, and was more flirting than substance, and tears without emotion.It did have a decent final episode to tie up the loose ends, which i appreciated, but didn't love.
What about the soundtrack? It was too cheesy and literal for me. I'd rather have the music be good, or forgetful, but this OST was a little distracting.
Overall this is a decent romance, with a cool mermaid twist. It reminded me of "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho", and if really you like that drama you may see some parallels too, and at least be entertained. I did love the mermaid look, and its definitely worth mentioning that the mermaid scenes look really cool. So if you are in the mood for a fairytale style romance, I think this is worth watching, but it's probably not one you will stay up all night marathoning through. Honestly, I will probably forget this drama after a while (the only way I would rewatch this), and 20 episodes were too long, but I am still glad I watched.

"STORYLINE OF ME BEFORE WATCHING IT"
At first, I was not going to watch this because Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo has the same airing week as LOTBS and I feel like the viewers liked WFKBJ more than this and some say that it's boring and cliche, so I don't want to watch it. Then after months, a friend recommend me to watch it but I doubt that I will like this drama. But after finishing this, I think that LOTBS is GREAT! WFKBJ is better but LOTBS is great too! Here are the reasons why:
PLOT/STORY - I really like the story. I don't know why you think that it's boring. Yes, I have to agree that it's a bit convoluted or complex because of things going on, but that's what it is all about to be honest, to have it's thrill and having questions in our mind about what will happen next. Yes, I also have to agree that it is predictable, maybe it is just me that likes the drama being predictable on some scenes. But some scenes are not predictable for me, I was always questioning myself about what will happen next (maybe I am a clueless person that's why I can't think outside the box LOL). I love the reincarnation idea too! Well to be honest, I'm almost going to drop the drama because of the start of episode 1, but because of the funny moments of the mermaid, it made me want to watch more.
This drama made me laugh because of the mermaid & the cast, clenched my teeth and curse words because of the villain, & tense because of all the thriller. And it really ended out well. I gave it 9 and not 10 because even though it's a great drama, there are still questions that are unanswered and I wish that you made the ending very detailed. I'm not a harsh & strict critic so yeah. :D I cried but just a few seconds for the main couple but it didn't emotionally hit me COMPLETELY, but it made me emotional though.. Like 75%. So in short, the story was great and even though it's complex, it still works for me and gave me mixed emotions.
ACTING/CAST - Okay, I got to agree with you that the main characters which are the couples (Cheong and Joon Jae) missed something. I don't know if it is that chemistry or closure. There are times that I smile because of their sweet scenes but the couples didn't made me jump with joy and scream (because that's how I will react when they have great chemistry), but I didn't. I just smiled and cry a bit. I kinda giggled though with Cha Shi Ah and Tae Oh's development because they are so cute. I think the cast did well. The villain character (the woman) really made me clenched my teeth and scream with anger, because she is that good. Other casts did so well too so I don't have problems with the others. I think Lee Min Ho's acting is great, what the eff are y'all saying?! He doesn't have emotion sometimes because that's the personality of the character. Good job!
MUSIC - The songs are not memorable though but it really fits to the drama. I don't get why you find the theme song cheesy, it sounds perfectly fine for me (or maybe because I can't understand the lyrics because I am not Korean)
REWATCH VALUE - I am not that kind of person to rewatch some korean dramas but I would watch this again but for a very long time.
I'm going to miss this drama though because it is really good. I would recommend you guys to watch it. :) (for those who are way more outdated than me that didn't watch this yet LOL)

LOTBS was a solid drama that I fully enjoyed watching week after week. Was it amazing though? Maybe not so much. I definitely enjoyed LOTBS far more than I would care to admit, as there was some lack in plot direction-sometimes the same problem would meander for a few episodes, or the villains had too much screen time not being threatening so it wasn't compelling. The villains were not that smart, plain out. They were stock and annoying to me. They didn't pose much threat and I was just not a fan, honestly. I couldn't relate to them whatsoever except for one. Lee Ji Hoon gave substance and sympathy to Chi Hyun as a character.
Now, the beginning in Spain was lovely visually and a good start to the drama. The plot of LOTBS is pretty simple: you get the mermaid on land antics, then the starting to care to actually caring relationship. It's nothing new, but I still loved watching it. It could be that Lee Min Ho is the best I've ever seen here. He's emoting well and I no longer think his acting has huge limitations because he's portraying so many different emotions here-romantic, familial, and family.
The OTP between Joon Jae and Shim Chung was cute and touching at times but I felt like it lacked a bit of something. I think there was some emotional disconnect in some scenes. As a whole, though, Lee Min Ho and Jeon Ji Hyeon had good chemistry and are visually stunning together.
The bromance was spot on! If you like bromance, then this is the drama for you. I love Joon Jae, Tae Oh, and Nam Do together. They are just too cute.
I was a little disappointed that the story became more about reincarnations, rather than mermaid folklore. The drama did drag in some spots here and there so it could've benefitted from a tighter episode count.
I liked the OST a lot! It had nice instrumentals and the theme songs were very fantastical and appropriate to the story.
LOTBS wasn't the next DOTS everything thought it was going to be. However, I did enjoy this drama a lot throughout its run. It has all the elements to be a great star-crossed lovers romance, but it just lacked the extra oomph. Despite that, I still recommend it for its light-hearted, romantic fare that veered melodramatic in the latter half, but pulled back to the fluffiness I love eventually.

+/- Plot:
Is anyone feeling the trend of reincarnation this season? I mean the two most competing shows (in my opinion) of Winter '16-'17 both had this weaved throughout their storylines. I love the idea of reincarnation and how our fates are continually interwoven, especially how romanticized it is in the KDramaWorld. I also liked the fantasy aspect of the drama with Jeon Ji Hyeon as a mermaid, I could see there was a lot of mermaid theorizing that went on behind the scenes and I appreciated that as I felt that it was a nice touch. As for the actual storyline, it's main focus was the romance of course, but they also tried to add an element of suspense/thriller at some points and I felt that was the additional route they wanted to take they should have had a bit more background on Ma Dae Young's character and why he had such grievances against the world. Although they slightly touched on this in one of the last few episodes I wasn't completely satisfied.
As for the romance and the light-hearted areas of the plot I thought they were well planned out and came full circle at the end. I will say that there were some pretty funny/cute moments that make the drama memorable.
+/- Acting/Cast:
Jeon Ji Hyeon is the reason I actually started watching this show. I think she is amazingly beautiful and innocently comedic, a rare combination to come across. I love how she's not afraid of putting her beautiful image on the line to pull out some comedy. She's slightly reminiscent of Mary Tyler Moore, which I greatly admire. Not only does she have beauty, she's also very talented as an actress in my opinion. Although her character wasn't too complex, I think she played it very well and it was fitting.
I'm sorry to say it but I'm not a fan of Lee Min Ho, there's just some aspects of his acting which I find subpar. It felt like he was crying every other episode, and not that I object to a man crying (he had just reason to), it's just that I didn't feel the conviction or the heart throughout the scenes. I probably would've been more moved if they didn't have so many scenes of him bawling his eyes out making his make-up splotchy. And when he performs his 'cutesy' romantic scenes he just doesn't make me swoon like other actors, it just doesn't feel genuine.
Unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan of the romance between Lee Min Ho and Jeon Ji Yeon. I felt that there was just something missing between the two, they didn't quite have the spark as some other small screen actors. I had much more favor for Ji Yeon and Soo Hyun in Love from Another Star.
As for the other characters, they did pretty well as a whole. I throughly enjoyed Lee Hee Joon and thought he played his part extremely well; he really kept me questioning him through the end. And Shin Won Ho was especially adorable throughout the show, although he didn't have many lines he still made me giddy with his smirks. (I admit, I was initially opposed to his ending, but I'll accept it since I wanted a happy ending for Cha Shi Ah too).
As for the bad guys, I will say that I was put off by Kang Seo Hee and Ma Dae Young, but I've had more burning hatred for other characters in different dramas before. They were fitting for the roles, however, I felt they could have taken it up a notch. And ultimately, I just felt sorry for Lee Ji Hoon's character. I wasn't in love with him, I just slightly felt for him and his circumstances. Sad to say on Lee Min Ho's part, but Ji Hoon's final moments in the show might have been one of the only times when I was even slightly close to tearing up.
+/- Music:
The music was decent, I mean there was nothing that stood out about it. I would say the only song that really stood out to me was Lee Sun Hee's track, which is because I'm a big fan of her. Other than that, there was nothing outstanding, but the OST did it's part in the drama.

Great acting by all the main and supporting actors, though, and I do love the juxtaposition with the Joseon period to now. The cinematography during the old scenes were visually stunning and added an extra layer of interest. I think the director learned a lot from YWCFtS and you can tell he stepped up his game for these scenes. The first half is worth a watch just for these scenes.
It drags on way way way too long though.
