The Legend of the Blue Sea Episode 7

Oh, my gosh! A male mermaid and it's played by one of my favorite actors!!!!!

Oh, my gosh! A male mermaid and it's played by one of my favorite actors: Jo Jung Suk. Oh, wow! The way he taught her to make money was perfection. The bags on their faces and of course it was THAT drama. >_<

Other dramas I've been watching have made me truly realize how totally awesome the writing is for Legend of the Blue Sea. Even with all the Easter Eggs, guest actors, and extra bits! The story has stayed cohesive and fluent. Moving along the present and past stories perfectly! Not to mention that I can feel the build up between Shim Chung and Heo Joon Jae. I have faith that they're gonna just as amazing as their past life romance.

Speaking of past lives! Can it be? Are the best friends going to survive in both the present and future? Oh, please do! I really like the character in both carnations. Man the past story is wonderful and truly loved how Kim Dam Ryung threw those pearls out there to save his woman! Stick it to that evil concubine. It's true that I feel like they'll have a tragic end, but I love the romance.

I love the friendship that Shim Chung has with that little girl. It's so sweet and it highlights how naïve Shim Chung is. How clueless about the cruelty of the world. That's why I wanted my (yummy) male mermaid to tell her that it's not the mermaids fault for not changing. The truth is people are capable of being wicked, evil, and cruel. Mermaids just aren't aware of these things and are something they have to learn. Mermaids and humans are different.

I was wondering if there was gonna be some kind of catch about how long she could be on land and some kind of consequence on a time table. Interesting. Though I wonder how the male mermaid is alive? His job allows him to be in water and land. Isn't that the key then? She just needs to periodically go to the sea/water? Some plot holes there, but I'll be patient for it to be better developed.

Right now I can't laugh (my face got smashed and my lip is cut up and currently swollen), but I couldn't help it. I actually had to pause the episode so I could get my face under control. (I think I tore my cut still though!) Just try not to laugh! Just try!

I really want to keep seeing my lovely Jo Jung Suk! It says one more episode--to keep the jealousy going--and I'll be bummed when he's gone. I like at the end that the male mermaid hinted that he knew He Joon Jae's job wasn't on the up and up. It was sweet seeing that he was thinking about changing . . . for her. What a fun cliffhanger! Girl just pretend you're skinning dipping. ^_-

(Though if she truly wants his love letting him know the truth is key. Secrets like that will only make things end. Up front is the best way. That way you know right away if that person is worthy of you. Be brave girl.)

Also, really looking forward to how all those artifacts will have a connection to the story later on.
