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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
