Episode 7

His pulse is weak.

His tendons, bones, and flesh are damaged, and in that area, blood clots have been formed.

If it gets into his heart...

If that's the case, what happens?

He won't be able to overcome the coming crisis.

I believe he was beat up by a group of people after he fell off the cliff.

It seems like my friend secretly hid my lover

and fell upon this calamity while coming back down.

My Lord, about my concubine making a ruckus in your office the day before yesterday.

Please forgive her.

She was afraid that the evil omen that brings death might have entered the government office.

It seems like she was out of her mind worrying about that.

So, I reprimanded her to the point of tears.

I see.

Yes.

A few days ago, ever since that corpse was found at the beach,

the sentiment of the village people has become panic-stricken.

So you must have also been disheartened. I am very sorry, Sir.

I see that you have some rare and precious fruit.

Ah, yes. It is a tangerine.

Although I am of a lowly position, I have a taste for good food.

So I got it through a boat coming from Tamra Island (today's Jeju Island) after much difficulty.

Is that so?

This inn is probably the only place able to eat this kind of fruit in this village, right?

Of course. The price is exorbitant.

But this tangerine was found while examining

the corpse found at the beach.

On the day that he died, the last person he met was you.

You met him that night and offered him a drink, along with this fruit.

He died from drinking the alcohol spiked with poison, and you threw him on the beach.

However, the traces of poison were not found during the initial examination.

On the first day that snow fell and water froze, the corpse was frozen like ice, but then

it was different during the second examination of the corpse.

As the frozen corpse thawed, fatal poison extracted from blowfish eggs was found.

My Lord, I am ignorant and cannot understand what you...

- Look here! - Yes, Sir!

We have found the blowfish-egg poison in Yang Seung Gil's stable.

My Lord, it's unfair.

Your servant does not know anything. I've been set-up.

My Lord!

Let go! Won't you let go?

Come!

What do you think you are doing?!

Please, cooperate with us.

If Se Hwa is alive, then I will spare your life.

Who is that? I don't know.

If you don't know, then you will die.

Even if I can't find Se Hwa,

you will die in this place.

Look here! The town head is bewitched by that wily thing and is trying to destroy the village.

He is trying to save that mermaid who brought rainstorms and caused people to die!

Try stepping out just one step.

Do you think all these eyes and mouths will stay still?

Oh, no, you can't!

My pearls!

I'm sorry, I came too late.

Se Hwa, you liked listening to my dreams, didn't you?

Are you listening?

In my dream, we were born again.

We met again and were together.

You came from a far away ocean to meet me.

And though I could not remember you,

you were already in my heart.

♬ She became a mermaid ♬

Se Hwa.

Wouldn't you like to listen to more of this story?

♬ A sad story ♬

Legend of the Blue Sea

I need to confirm something.

Yeah.

You... Can you try saying these words?

What words?

I love you.

Then are you mine?

Are you surrendering? Did you lose?

What?

I was going to be the first to surrender when the first snow falls.

I really did not know you would surrender first. Are you mine?

No matter what I say, would you believe me?

What are you talking about?

You said you love me. That's what it means, right?

Let's say you love someone.

- That means that you surrender. - What is "surrender"?

It means, losing. You lost. In other words, if you love someone,

no matter what that person says, you will believe everything.

- That means you are in trouble. - Why?

That means that you belong to that guy. If he says to do this, you do this.

If he says to do that, you will do that. If he tells you to believe lies, then you believe lies. That's love.

So is it okay to say that to a guy or not?

It's okay.

No! You shouldn't.

If you say things like "I love you" to me, that means you are mine.

If you say things like that to me, I'll probably use you to do things and lie like crazy.

I'll take all your possessions.

That is supposed to be love. Isn't that it?

Ah, geez! Who would utter such nonsense?!

♬ Even at this moment. ♬

There's someone. Someone good.

Who is it? A guy?

Yes, it's a guy.

So, it's a guy. He is a nut job!

What's a nut job?

He is a crazy jerk.

Seeing how he says things like that, he is a total sleazeball and a womanizer.

Those are all bad words, right?

Right. You should not hang out with that kind of punk.

Was he really good to you? Huh?

When it was raining, he put an umbrella over me, and he held my hand when I was alone.

Ah, hand...

I'm sure he will do anything... to seduce a girl.

He made me ramen.

Ra... ramen! Wow, ramen!

Did he tell you he'll go into your house and eat some ramen before leaving? (A common pick up line in Korea)

Wow, what a dark-hearted jerk!

He is not a dark-hearted jerk.

He is a good person.

If he was such a good person, you should be next to him, not by me.

And let me make it clear, in case you misunderstand... When I said earlier...

"I love you," was not because I really loved you,

but I was telling you to say that so that I can confirm something...

I love you.

- Should I say it again? - No, that's fine.

I can say it again.

No, don't. It's fine.

Don't say it.

- Where are you coming from? - From a ski resort.

Did you have a date?

Date, my butt!

She was begging about snow, so I just took her there briefly.

That's a date. Isn't that right, Tae Oh?

This dude keeps glaring at a person all the time nowadays.

- Do you want some? - No, thanks. You can eat all the tangerines you like.

Do you want some?

Did you and he have a fight?

No, we didn't.

Then why is he in such a bad mood?

Yo, upper room!

Hey!

What is it?

Since I can't fall asleep, I keep thinking these useless thoughts. Are you still meeting him?

- Who? - Who else?! Earlier...

Ramen! Are you still seeing him?

Yes, I am.

You are?

I see. You are seeing him.

Well, how does he look?

He is pretty.

His eyes are sparkling.

He must look like a girly boy.

You should be most careful with guys who look like that! What good is a guy who looks pretty?

Those guys are lustful inside!

You... So did you tell him that, too?

What?

You know. Those words you said earlier at the ski resort.

I love you?

Yes. That. Did you tell that jerk that, too?

I love you.

Yes, I did.

Why?

To you, those words must be so easy.

- Saying those words to just anyone. - I don't say it just to anyone.

What did you do well that you are raising your voice?

You get up! Who told you to come down, eh?

Go back up.

But, well, maybe it's a good thing.

Honestly, I felt a bit burdened, worrying that you had a special feeling towards me.

Good luck with him.

I will. I came to work things out with him.

Good, then!

Must be nice! Good luck! Hurry and get back up!

She came to work things out with him? Then, why is she here?

Haha, isn't she a funny girl?! Ah, annoying.

So annoying.

Se Hwa!

Se Hwa! Se Hwa!

What was that?

What kind of dream was that?

This ajussi is our Joon Jae's friend.

Dept. Head Ajussi Nam

010-0960-1303

He cannot answer the phone. You will be connected to voice mail.

Hello?

Oh, what's up?

Dept. Head Nam? He hasn't come to work yet.

What? How?

Is he that kind of person? So where is he now?

Okay, let's hang up for now.

What happened, Father?

Dept. Head Nam drove while drunk last night and got into an accident.

Ajussi doesn't like drinking, though.

How would you know? How can you tell a person by looking at his appearance?

So, how badly is he hurt?

Should we go visit him at the hospital?

He is unconscious. It seems serious.

Really?

Oh no. What do we do?

When you go to the hospital, let me go with you.

Okay, let's do that.

(2) 8/21/2016 Incheon International Airport Disguised as a parking valet, he stole a luxury car and ran away

It's been three months. During the three months, that punk Ma Dae Young,

without having confirmed any additional criminal activities, his whereabouts are still in the dark.

You said that there is a possibility that the Hoehyeon-dong loan shark murderer could be him.

There is.

No, it is highly possible. But we only have a suspicion. We don't have evidence.

There was no money or belongings that were lost. So, in that precinct,

they see these debtors that disappeared overseas as suspects, and they told me not me to butt in.

He was a loan shark and a person who had a lot of people holding a grudge against him, so that's possible.

If it was due to a grudge, they would have planned it well. But look at the time and location.

It was in broad daylight at three in the afternoon.

Anyone would be able to witness this while passing by.

But then, this was done very suddenly and impulsively.

Ma Dae Young has an anger disorder.

With just that, nowadays, there aren't just one or two people who can't control their anger.

It was really meticulous. It's really clean without any fingerprints or traces of DNA.

This was done by someone who is always prepared to murder.

But it seems our superiors don't want us to focus on that.

If an escaped criminal committed that kind of crime? Then we would be cursed at more.

Hey! Do you think that's important?

Then what is so important to you?

You, punk, go catch that dude who feigned false identity in Yeoyido.

The one who erased all the CCTVs and took off.

I have a feeling I know who that is. I will catch that slimeball after catching Ma Dae Young.

You are so dead, you punk!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

The female employees at the aquarium thought Yeongdeung Police had such a handsome detective

and were about to start a fan club. Then they saw your profile and they were so disappointed!

Why are they disappointed? He and I look pretty similar!

According to Ahn Jin Joo's SNS, she will be attending a seminar for International Middle School Preparation.

Communicating to SNS followers. VIP invitation

to International Middle School - Zeal for Education. This is Helicopter Mom's way.

She's leaving at three. She's probably going out of the house at 2 to 2:30.

The family's chauffeur has the day off. Ahn Jin Joo's driving skill is a bit lacking.

At that moment, Tae Oh will call using the English Academy's number and distract her.

Yes, I am Elizabeth's mom. Really?

Our Elizabeth, oh my! Was first in English oral competition? Oh my God!

Are you not hurt anywhere?

I don't think so. Yes. Omo.

Please just call this number. Since I am busy, I will be going then.

Oh my!

After you make your face seen, your second meeting would be at the seminar.

- Okay. - What are you doing?

Good morning.

- Let's go. - Where are you going?

Where would we be going? To work.

We're going to work.

Going to work. What work are you going to do?

Ah, that is... The work that we are doing is...

To say it simply, it's like getting a person's heart?

To let a person realize his or her own fault.

Although there definitely is a problem with the way they accumulated their wealth, and yet they are beyond the perimeters of the law.

To those people who fall into that blind spot,

we take appropriate actions.

We also redistribute the wealth.

For the country's sake.

A civil servant?

I saw it on TV. The ones who work for the country are civil servants.

We are not. Just because they work at a public office doesn't mean they are doing it for the country's benefit.

So, Heo Joon Jae does a cooler job than a civil servant.

Well...

Heo Joon Jae, I knew it.

Why am I making excuses to her?

I know, right? You were really shabby, listening right here.

Then, should I say it? That we're conmen?

I don't feel good about that word.

Hey, should we make a new name? A cool one?

- What are you saying? - Okay, okay. We're late. Let's go.

What is this?

Here.

Check this house.

Hey, hey.

Ma Dae Young! You bastard!

Ma Dae Young, bastard!

Ma Dae Young!

Why are you doing this?

Wow! Score!

So cold.

I am hungry. Should we go to the convenience store to eat?

Okay.

Hey! Seo Yoon Ah, you live in rental apartments, right?

- So? - My mom said

as the rental kids started coming to our school, our neighborhood's quality went down!

Your mom is a divorcee, right?

My mom said so.

Kids like you have such a messy family education.

So, she told me not to play with you.

I also don't want to play with you. Can you please move?

This is not a place for people who live in the rental apartments to pass, you know.

Can you turn around and pass there?

You!

Hey! You pushed me! You? To me?

What are you doing? Put me down, please.

You should not bother your friends.

Let me down, please.

Hurry and promise me, that you won't bother your friend.

- Mommy. - Oh my. What's wrong?

Elizabeth, what's wrong?

Hurry and come.

Yes. The car is still here.

Thank you for earlier, Unni.

But what is divorce?

Divorce is when people who got married break up.

Why would they break up?

You also don't know that, Unni? They break up because they don't love each other anymore.

They don't love each other so why did they get married?

They were in love when they got married, but then they changed. That's why.

My mom and dad probably loved each other when I was a baby.

It's just that they changed.

Why would they change?

What do you mean "why?"

It's just that they all change.

Even those who are not divorced are staying together not necessarily because they love each other.

They are living while enduring it.

Really?

Unni, do you know why I'm working hard going to the academy?

No.

My mom... might love me now,

but if I don't study hard

I'm afraid she might not love me anymore.

I'm afraid she might send me away.

That's why I work hard and go to the academy even though I don't want to go.

Let's go.

That hair, it may appear messy as if it wasn't prepped.

It's so calculatedly elegant. Where is it?

Where is it?

At which shop did she get it done?

Mom! I told you it's that Unni.

Is it you?

Are you the one who told my daughter off?

How could it be? The outfit does not match at all.

It may look like the soup and rice being served separately, and yet they match so marvelously well. What is this weird feeling?

Who coordinated that?

It's because she bothered her.

So funny. Who are you?

Are you her mother? Are you the school teacher?

These days, even school teachers can't just...

When did Chanel and Dior collaborate?

Oh my! Why didn't I know that?

Mom.

I am Seo Yoon Ah's friend.

In the future, I won't let you go if you bother my friend.

You promised.

Wait.

I... have a lot I am curious about, but let me just ask you one thing.

Which dermatologist do you go to?

"I don't go," "I was born with this skin," "I don't even take care of it and it's like this."

Don't even think of saying those nonsense lies.

Answer me. Where do you get taken care of?

It's not in Seoul. It's very far.

I knew it. So, she goes out on an expedition. Oh, my!

Which country...

Oh, my world. Which country could she get...

What is it? It's past 3.

I know. It's strange.

The car is still there.

She must have gone out and just came back.

Wait.

I'm going to rest today. Culture shock! When did Chanel and Dior collaborate?

I'd appreciate information exchanged. This is FaPe's way.

This is FaPe's way.

Fashion people?

Seriously. Today was such a waste.

I'm really not feeling this. Can't you look into something else?

You're at it again.

Hey! I will be stopping by somewhere.

You guys go on first.

- Where are you going? - You don't need to know, punk.

You don't even have anywhere else to go...

Could it be? It's probably not him.

My Joon Jae.

But why are you doing this?

This is the only thing I am good at.

You could just use that talent somewhere else. You are very talented.

Like you are one to talk!

- Then what about you? - It's Hyung.

Hyung, what happened for you to start this line of work?

So people need to meet the right people.

Winter 2006

Searching for Mom. We got separated when I was ten.

Her name is Mo Yoo Ran. Her birthday is...

We could have met at the office if the interior renovation was finished. (Sorry) to be meeting here...

Can you really find my mom?

- Your mother's hometown was Cheongbuk, Jaecheon, right? - Yes.

She's the only daughter of a really rich household.

But after her parents passed away, she made the mistake of cosigning a loan that went wrong.

She lost all her inheritance. After that, none of the relatives contacted her.

Yes, how did you know?

How would I? It's my work.

Can you please find my mom?

But then,

because she hasn't reported her moving,

she doesn't have a permanent residence, and she doesn't seem like she's remarried.

It is very hard to find her the usual way.

In the end, you will have to get an expert. But then the fee would be...

Ah, the fee.

Wait.

Would this much be okay?

Of course, that man just ran off with that money.

You should not worry about that part.

I will find him for sure.

I will be calling you after a week. Bye

Yes.

You conman!

Ahjumma, he is a conman! Don't give him money!

No.

- Give me back my money! - Let go! Let go! - My money! My money!

How many days were you there?

Half a month.

Hey.

Don't you want to work with me? I like people who are tenacious.

If you go around finding your mother like that, only your legs would hurt.

You need to have money to find your mom. To put it bluntly,

you found your mom but then what would you do since you have no money?

When would you earn enough money ripping off a young kid like me?

- What? - You should rip off people who have a lot of money.

If you are going to deceive someone anyway, you need to invest in time and finance.

If you consider the financial efficiency,

wouldn't it be more profitable to steal from rich people, using the same effort?

There are so many bigwigs who can't report it even when they are ripped off.

Just until I find my mom. Just until I get enough money to buy a house for her.

You already gathered enough to buy her a house.

I did. It's just that I haven't found my mom.

Dog Nam Doo also worked hard to find my mom.

But he couldn't find where she is.

Please look at this, Hyung.

What is it?

If it's the same person's x-rays. The other hospital said it was switched with another patient.

This is the same person.

Really?

You can just look at the bones and the fracture. Look here.

The widths of tibia and fibula and the way they are stretched out are the same.

This one has a fracture and this one is in the healing stage.

- Oh? - Why?

The bone has stuck together but there is still edema.

Usually, the swelling disappears and then the bone sticks together but then for this person the bones fuse first.

Can this happen?

Hyung, what's that... How long does it usually take for the fractured bones to fuse together again?

It's a case-by-case basis, but still,

for the fractured bone to fuse together completely, about 12-16 weeks.

Hey, even with a hairline fracture, it's maximum 3-4 week with a cast.

What if, in just one week, this became this?

Does that make sense?

Right. It doesn't make sense.

Hurry and go. I am busy.

What is that? So scary. What if she's really a zombie.

Hey, as if.

I think that woman... Beyond just losing her memories

or lacking a bit, disregarding those, there's something.

I know. I also think so. But I can't get a grasp of what that is.

Hello? Did you find the stamped wooden box? Really?

Who is the owner?

Kim Dam Ryeong?

Even the name is cool. Okay, I'll be right back.

Oppa, I need to get back now. It looks like we found the owner of relics we excavated from a wrecked ship.

Wait. Wait. The name of the owner is Dam Ryeong?

Yes. He was a town head of Heupgok Hyun in Gangwon Province. Why?

Oh, it's nothing. Go in.

See you later.

Make sure Joon Jae and that girl aren't doing anything at home. Keep an eye on them, okay?

Dam Ryeong.

Dam Ryeong, Dam Ryeong.

Why are you doing this?

What do you mean, why? That's what I want to ask you. Are you going to jump from here?

No, that's not it.

Don't try to fool me. You even took off your shoes. Stand up. I've seen many people like this...

Sit here.

Would you like some barley tea?

It's hot.

No, wait.

Let's just talk.

I've lived here for a long time, so I barely remember how to speak the language from there.

This language is more comfortable.

I got it.

Wow. Who would've known

that I would meet a mermaid in the middle of Seoul?

I also thought I was the only mermaid in Seoul. I was really surprised.

No, but what were you doing there earlier?

I was hungry. I don't have money,

and it's time for a meal, so I went there to eat.

You don't have money?

Hey, I guess you don't know anything yet.

Like what?

You really didn't know about this?

These are our tears. What are you doing?

These count as money here.

This is money? Why?

If you don't know, just memorize it. These count as money here.

And when you start to tear up,

just do this and collect all of them.

This helped me so much in my life.

Ah, I cried a couple of times. I should've collected them.

The bigger they are, the more valuable. So instead of uselessly crying small tears,

hold it in, and cry thick tears. Thick. Sobbing.

Small tears are about $20-$30 each, and thick ones are $40-$50.

The most valuable are the pearls that have a pale pink sheen to them.

The pink-tinted pearls? The ones that come out when you cry from happiness?

That's right.

But as you live here, very happy moments

that make you tear up don't come often. I cried that kind of tear just once.

Then I should cry a lot and give all my tears to Heo Joon Jae.

Who is Heo Joon Jae?

He's a good person. He works harder than a civil servant for the country's sake. Art of Fraud:

He's a cool person whom I like. Committing Fraud through Neuroscience

Wait. So you didn't come up for a short visit to sightsee?

But you came up here because of a guy you liked?

Hey, you really don't know anything!

- How long has it been since you got here? - One month.

The guy you like, is it one way or both ways?

I mean, do you like him by yourself or is it mutual?

It's just me right now.

You're really hopeless! You should have thought it through before coming up.

How can you act so haphazardly...

Ah, this is why, while living here, I talk so much to the fish that pass by.

I told them to let the mermaids know, "Don't ever come to Seoul because of love." You never heard that?

No, I haven't heard.

Ah, these kids... Are they getting caught or forgetting while on their way? These fish heads... (known to have 3-second memory)

Why can't I? Why can't I come up to the land because of love?

Listen carefully.

You have a time limit.

The moment that a mermaid leaves the water for land, her heart starts to harden.

Even if your legs don't, you heart has a time limit.

There is only one way you can continue to breathe

and keep your heart beating on land.

It is only possible when the person you love loves you back.

There is no other way your heart can continue to beat passionately.

If not, it isn't too late, so return to the ocean, idiot.

So why did you come here without measures?

But still, for you to surface and

to make a decision for you to walk, there must have been some kind of catalyst.

That guy must have said something to you.

He told me to come to Seoul.

Of course. What did he want to do once you came? Did he ask you to date? To marry?

To go to famous eateries...

That's it?

He also told me to come see the fireworks.

Fireworks?

You are really an easy girl.

Can you decide so easily on love with specialty restaurants and fireworks?

Was there any progress during your month here?

Yeah. Just one look at you.

I can tell you're someone who will continue to make no progress.

Should I help you?

How?

All human males are the incarnation of jealousy.

Jealousy?

If you don't know, memorize. Jealousy is the fastest path to love.

♬ No, no, no, no, no ♬

I think it would be good if we started with a makeover.

Should we try to get some money for shopping?

Hold it. Hold it in,

and then cry thick. Thick tears.

Tae Gong Shil, I love you.

You...

Hello. I've heard a lot about you.

Who... are you?

I'm Yoo Jeong Hoon.

Please take care of me in the future.

Take care of what?

- My darling is... - Excuse me?

I heard she was living in this house for a bit.

I heard it was a house full of men, so I was a bit concerned.

But now that I see you, I'm assured.

You're assured? I don't think I have assuring type of face.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Dear, how about you tie your hair tomorrow? Your neckline is pretty.

Like this?

Hey. Go in now.

- Go on in. - Go on in.

Go first.

- Go in first. - No, you leave first.

I'll be more at ease if I see you go in.

No, it's okay. Leave first.

- Just go in first. - No, leave first.

- I'll leave after I see you go in. - Go first.

He said go in!

Just go inside!

Wait.

Why again?

I just want to see her face one more time.

Click.

I'm taking a picture. I'll be looking at it when I miss you tonight.

Like this? Click. Click, click, click.

Ah, you're so cute.

Hey. Go inside.

He isn't the type of guy to drink and drive.

I can't understand it either.

Since that day was my second son's last day of vacation from military service,

we decided to have dinner at home together.

On such a day, why did he drink and go all the way there?

It seems like an intentional accident.

How could it be? The police say it's a driving under the influence case.

It will just make things harder for you to think that way.

It's me. Me!

What are you doing?

- Hey, let me look at the bracelet. Just once! - Are you going at it again?

- I just want to confirm something. - Confirm what?

There is something.

Aren't you going to tell me the truth?

Well, Si Ah is currently working on artifacts from a shipwreck.

The artifacts belonged to someone named Dam Ryeong.

Isn't it interesting? It is possible that they are two different people with the same name.

However, if it's the same person

it will be more than $6 million! Let me have it appraised at least.

- Hyung, do you know why I keep that bracelet? - Why?

So that I can return it to Cheong when she leaves. If I give it back to her now,

people like you won't leave it alone.

You are really strange these days.

Do you all of sudden aspire to be a decent human being?

Leave.

Heo Joon Jae, you're scary. I'm leaving.

Se Hwa!

Strange things keep happening since I've met that dummy.

Whoa, my Cheong, did you know how to doll up?

Whoa, dressed like that, you look beautiful!

Doesn't she, Tae Oh? Look at him. He's speechless. Whoa.

What the...?

It's cold. It's winter.

Joon Jae, Cheong's also wearing a skirt!

Change into a pair of pants.

Why? It's the one you bought for me last time.

- Do you think I bought it for you to wear when going outside? - You didn't?

I bought it for you to hang in the closet.

Do you think that makes sense?

Of course, it does! Not all clothes are made for wearing. Some are made for being hung in the closet!

Go change it to pants and leave your hair untied.

Hey, why are you trying to regulate her her hair and clothing? Are you her student affairs teacher?

I'm the house owner. Hyung, you go and change your clothes as well! Are you Rudoph?

All of you'd better listen to me. If you don't want to, then leave.

Whoa, my Cheong, your chopstick skills have improved a lot!

Cheong, where are you going today? Do you want me to give you a ride?

Yes, I have plans later...

Don't you think you need to clean the house or something to pay for your stay here?

Of course, I can clean. I saw how Tae Oh does it.

It's quite dusty these days because we haven't been able to open the windows to circulate the air as it's been cold.

Wipe down well so there won't be any dust.

I can do that.

It's my house. I'll make whomever I want to do it.

Also, you'll see a fan in the storage. It will be very dusty.

We won't use it until next summer.

That's why we have to clean it now.

Are you the evil step-mother? (as in Cinderella & etc) Cheong, just run off!

Don't you dare! You won't be able to step out at all before you finish them all.

What is it?

I forgot my phone.

Ah, it feels nice!

Why do you think the mermaids are on the brink of extinction?

Because we don't change.

Humans change but, like idiots, we don't change. That's why we get stabbed in the back.

Humans change?

They do. The woman I loved did, too.

Even though she said she'd love me forever.

When she found about who I really am, she left. Just like that.

At first, I regretted coming to land.

It was hard, but it's our reality.

There is no human on earth who can accept us as mermaids, the way we are.

The man you love is the same.

So, get your act together

and don't ever get caught.

Epilogue

Hello, could I have a moment?

Excuse me, but could I ask what you do for a living?

I'm a civil servant.

Oh, a civil servant. I see.

You know civil servants. We don't make big money, but it's stable,

and our jobs are tenured and give pensions.

Frankly, it is a job to provide support for someone comfortably.

Ah, I do know that, but...

Could I ask you a question, too?

What do you do, Mr. Heo Joon Jae?

If it's hard to answer, you don't need to.

Anyway, please do take good care of my Cheong for the time being.

Well, you don't need to ask me to do that. I will make sure...

I mean, WE will figure it out.

You would think the time is... and the opportunities are... always available to you, don't you?

They are not!

What is he? What is he babbling about, acting all cool?

He's a joke, seriously!

♬ So frustrating that you don't know ♬

♬ Fool, I love you right now ♬
