Drama Review: Legend of the Blue Sea
playbuzz

Legend of the Blue Sea is Korean drama that just recently ended and I have to say I'd recommend this series to anyone even if you don't normally watch k-dramas. It's a romantic comedy and the heroine's acting skills are one of the main reasons why this series is so good. She's a mermaid that left the ocean one day and she meets a guy when she breaks into his room for a cherry(of course she doesn't understand she was stealing). The fact that she doesn't understand human societal rules is made even more comedic by detail that she doesn't know how to speak at first. She communicates mainly through her facial expressions and the male lead just continues like she understands everything even though there's several indicators that she's not getting a thing.

It gets even more entertaining when the get into the main story. The male lead is a con artist that's hiding away on vacation in Spain when he meets the heroine and he ends up being found out by one of the people he's scammed. He ends up returning home and the mermaid goes after him.

Her powers and as well as limitations of being a mermaid keep getting her in all sorts of situations and while all this is happening, it turns out that history is repeating itself and all the characters are reincarnations of people who lived a long time ago and suffered a tragic fate so now they've come back to rewrite fate.

Overall, the drama has a great story but what I love the most is the characters. Aside from the heroine's silly acting, there's also a bunch of hilarious side characters that she makes friends with like a homeless woman who loves quoting philosophy and a lonely little girl who teaches her proper morals and the value of working and having a job.

Legend of the blue Sea while being a comedy, also has it's sad moments and this series really left me feeling melancholy when it ended so soon(of course I binge watched it in a couple days but it was still too soon). I sincerely hope more people will try this series I found it by chance and thought I would stop after one episode except I ended up having to force myself to sleep after episode 10. This is a great series for anyone who enjoys fantasy and a bit of magic like I do as well as a good romantic comedy.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
