Review – Legend of the Blue Sea
A profoundly unspecial fantasy romance. Oh, how I wanted to love this show! But every little thing about it was so enormously contrived and flat. The “romance” was just a nonstop series of cliches and ridiculousness. Just like in the show Tomorrow With You, the writers and director seemed to think that putting two attractive people opposite each other is all it takes for everyone around the world to collectively sigh. Well, this gal groaned. Loudly. And because I wanted to like it, it just made it worse. It was like forcing yourself to enjoy a treat way past its expiration date… it was just dry and a bitter reminder of all the other dramas that have done this better in the past. You know, the fresh ones.
Plotline, basic version: A mermaid comes to land following her one true love… but if she doesn’t win his affection in return, she will die.
Overall Rating – 5/10. A Can Of Anchovies When You Ordered Fresh Salmon.
More Grumbling and Ranting and Spoilers follow….
