Unload quickly!
Hurry, hurry!
Hurry!
The waves are getting bigger!
-=Episode 1=-
My goodness! Look at all the fish!
What kind of miracle was this?
Aigoo. Hurry and pick them up.
Aigoo.
Wow. This is a great harvest! What a prosperous year!
This is the first time I've seen something like this.
Fill the baskets!
This is so great!
Hurry.
What is this?
Come here!
That fish is a person!
Where is it?
The mermaid... Where is the mermaid?
Over here.
A real mermaid!
Let me see!
Be careful, my Lord!
Why?
It's said that if you raise a hand to a mermaid,
she can suck out your soul,
and erase your memory.
What are you talking about, you idiot?
I have heard,
that is how mermaids protect themselves from humans.
I have heard that many sailors who came upon a mermaid
ended up losing their minds.
Well, that won't happen to me.
I don't plan to raise my hand to her.
I will use my knife.
Did she understand?
Anyway,
today I'm going to reward all of you.
Yes.
Seong Ga, are the banquet preparations going well?
Yes.
I wonder when the new magistrate will be arriving.
My Lord.
Although many magistrates have held office here before,
this is the first time we've had one as handsome as you!
Is that so?
Yes.
Ever since I was a student at Seonggyungwan,
I don't know about my academics,
but no one could beat me in looks.
Should I say I was "far above", or maybe "towered above" sounds better?
It's too bad such a handsome man is already a widower.
I'm sure you'll break the hearts of all the women in the village.
My Lord...
have you ever heard of mermaids?
Mermaids?
Yes.
The fishermen say that when mermaids come ashore, they grow legs.
So they can even live with humans.
That's just an old legend.
Although there are always stories about mermaids,
no one has actually seen one before.
What's the difference between that and crazy ghost stories?
Is that so?
Today is a special day when our new magistrate takes office.
So I will treat all of you to a a fascinating sight.
My Lord.
This is a real mermaid.
This is not some legendary mermaid,
but a real mermaid that I caught myself.
You...
intend to do what with that mermaid?
They say there is an eternal flame in Qin Shi Huang's tomb.
Do you know what the secret of that is?
Mermaid oil.
They say oil extracted from mermaids is extremely fine.
Even the best whale oil cannot match it.
It can last many years without spoiling.
It is incredibly valuable, nearly priceless!
For being faithful to my country and living a good life,
I have been blessed with this great fortune.
Being faithful to your country and living a good life.
I regret having to say something like this to you.
What do you want to say?
I made some inquiries before taking this office.
Inquiries about what?
You.
You paid 2,000 nyang in fishing taxes in advance,
in order to be appointed to your government position.
Afterwards, you taxed the fishermen more than 3 times that amount.
That's a serious crime.
Your timing is very unlucky.
Not long ago, His Majesty gave an order.
Officials who burden the people with excessive taxes
will receive severe punishment.
We used to resolve this issue with 100 lashes.
But now you must have a trial.
Then, my lord...
please tell me what I can do.
Or... is there something you want?
Anything.
Anything?
Anything.
How dare he humiliate me in my own town.
Just wait and see.
A mermaid cannot survive once it leaves the sea.
I will definitely recapture that mermaid.
And then,
that fool of a magistrate,
I will also personally take care of him.
Look. Look over there.
What is that thing doing?
Is she trying to drag him into the water,
steal his soul and erase his memory?
I heard mermaids only erase memories they want to erase.
However,
it would be better to avoid taking that hand.
Mermaids and humans live in such different worlds.
Whether the fate turns out to be good or bad...
what use is there in having a bond?
The Legend of the Blue Sea
We should get off now.
Mom, I'll press it.
My Sa Ae wants to press the button?
Yes.
Okay.
I'm Kim Myeong Hun. I'm a lawyer.
I'm the one who called you. Nam In Jung.
I won't get into trouble for buying stolen goods, right?
What's this?
Tada!
A gift.
Thank you, Sir.
You know, you're like the Harry Potter of con artists.
You're actually better than Harry Potter,
because you're better looking.
Exactly!
THIS IS THE PROSECUTORS' OFFICE.
OUR ELEVATOR IS OUT OF ORDER.
Okay.
We're sorry for the inconvenience.
We're nearby, so we'll be right there.
Yes.
Okay, let's go.
Hey. Get up!
Come on.
Go on.
You said you were close, but that was fast.
Good work.
Just a moment!
Chief Go didn't come?
Why did all of you come?

I didn't recognize him because he's wearing glasses today.
Work hard everyone.
The elevator is broken. You'll have to use the stairs.

PROSECUTORS' OFFICE SCHEDULE
RM 730. PROSECUTOR LEE SHI JUN
Aigoo. Seriously!
Such a small matter isn't worth talking about!
Don't you know Judge Lee's character?
- Oh, Han Seung Taek! - Yes.
I'll call you again later.
You brought your wife with you today.
Please sit down.
Would you like something to drink?
We're fine.
- Please sit. Please sit. - Okay.
RM. 730. PROSECUTOR LEE SHI JU.
The color is back in your face!
Prosecutor, I previously discussed this with you.
This is President Han who contacted us.
This is the madam of Myeongdong Capital.
Myeongdong Capital?
Just as I explained to you before,
that high school student in Gangnam who committed suicide,
wrote their son's name in his suicide note.
That kid was crazy.
He should just jump off and die if he wanted to.
Why did he have to mention my son in his note?
Why blame my son?
Just because some idiot died, should he have to suffer too?
My son has his college entrance exams soon.
He shouldn't have this on his mind right now!
You have about one minute.
The prosecutor is about to return.
Let's go have some lunch.
I'm really hungry.
What would you like to eat, Madam?
What's going on?
Fine. It's all fine.
But what can I do for you?
Make sure my son is cleared.
We have a secret account in the Virgin Islands.
It's not that good.
What?
I said the Virgin Islands is not that good.
It's supposed to be a haven for tax evasion.
If it's famous for that, how can it be any good?
It's too risky.
Is that so?
You should take this opportunity to change your hiding place.
I know a place that's pretty good.
What place?
A small island in the Mediterranean Sea.
Wow. The scenery is absolutely...
quite spectacular.
Yes, Madam.
I have just confirmed the amount.
Of course. We're all in the same boat now.
If anyone should seize that account, not only would our prosecutor be removed,
but your company would be investigated for tax evasion. Understand?
Just cheer on your son for his exams.
Fine. Then I'll say goodbye now. Okay.
Wow. All neat and tidy.
I've had the best feelings about this job.
Hey, Tae...
Hey, you're just leaving without a word?
Wow, unbelievable.
Forget it. He might be rude, but he can hack an account in 2 seconds.
I really hate it when people leave without saying goodbye!
Then what about you?
You're the rudest jerk of all.
The Eastern Medicine Book says sweat comes from the kidneys.
If your palms perspire a lot,
you might have a problem with your kidneys.
It's like that.
Ah, kidneys.
A Korean medicine doctor can tell that from just a glance?
It's my occupational disease.
I just wanted to get some rest on my vacation.
But I can't seem to turn a blind eye.
It's my humanitarian spirit.
It seems you're a compassionate person.
We're about to land. I'll open the shade for you.
Okay.
Isn't it beautiful?
I've been to many countries,
but there's no sea as beautiful as this one.
You're right.
When I flew here once before,
an old man who had lived here a long time said
this sea is still home to mermaids.
Sure.
It's true.
A long time ago,
mermaids lived many places in the oceans,
but they're basically now all extinct.
Most of the mermaids remaining on the planet live in this sea.
Mom, look there! It's a mermaid in the sea!
I read him a fairy tale once,
and now he thinks mermaids are real.
Who is it?
Who's there?
What caused this mess?
What is going on here?
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Are you Chinese? Japanese?
That's not it. It feels like you're South Korean.
Hey. That was my favorite.
Why are you...
This hotel's security really sucks!
Hey, that's mine!
So your specialty is sneak attack?
How dare you stare at me like that!
What are you holding in your hand?
Let me see. Open your hands!
My neck nearly twisted around.
It's so early, I haven't stretched my muscles yet.
I'm already warmed up now...
I'm already warmed up,
but I don't feel like fighting this early in the morning.
So if you give me what's in your hand, I'll forget all of this ever happened.
What is it?
My watch?
A ring?
If you're crazy, you should just wear a flower in your hair.
Stop confusing people.
Hello?
Please call the police.
Somebody broke into my room.
Yes.
You're in trouble now.
If you end up somewhere else like this,
just say "sumimasen". [sorry in Japanese]
Don't embarrass our country. Understand?
That's what I always do.
Hey, repeat after me.
Su-mi-ma-sen.
Sumimasen.
Just in case you try to run.
Look here. Look here.
Good.
But, what is it that you've stolen?
Seriously!
A cherry.
Hey, you just...
Oh, I'm so sorry. I apologize.
It's okay. It's okay.
What kind of security is so unprofessional?
Come this way.
Let's go.
Excuse me.
I'm just asking,
but do you need to cuff her?
Couldn't help it. There's a risk she might run.
Oh, okay.
I'm just saying... She didn't steal anything.
Well that's because we caught her before that happened.
You're lucky.
There have been a lot of thefts in the area recently.
She's a prime suspect. Very much so.
A prime suspect, my ass.
That kid is missing a few brain cells.
Come on. Let's go.
Let's go!
Come on. Let's go.
Let me see.
What is this?
I sent you a photo.
Check into it quickly.
It seems like jade.
The Hong Kong auction in 2013. Do you remember?
It's similar to the one I saw that time. Very unusual.
The owner?
She also...
is very unusual. Not normal.
Hey! Hey you! Look at my hand.
Focus! I'm talking to you.
Why did you break into that hotel?
What were you trying to get?
You've been to other hotels too, right?
What are you smiling at?
You won't even answer my questions but got the nerve to smile?
Do you think this is some kind of joke?
Easy. Easy. Easy.
That's right. That's right.
I believe that fates begun on an airplane should end on an airplane.
No meeting privately after we land.
I'm a woman who follows that principle.
Because of you, I have broken my own code.
Well, Min Ji, it seems I'm quite smitten with you.
But why are your hands so small?
My hands?
Just look. Your hands are very small.
What is this?
How did you do that?
How did I do that?
Incredible! That bracelet must be at least 400 years old.
It's probably 99% to 100% pure jadeite.
If it's genuine, then it's worth about $6 million.
First, let's get a look at it.
Who is the bracelet's owner?
Are you with her now?
That's very pretty. Is it for me?
No.
What?
I just... wanted you to see it and ask if you thought it was nice or not.
I'm glad you said it was pretty.
I'm giving this to my mother.
My mom really likes platinum.
I have to leave first.
What did you say?
- I'll see you later. - Wait...
That bracelet has some engraving.
It's Chinese.
"Dam Ryung." It seems like a name.
Dam Ryung?
Things always seem to fall into your lap.
You find a prize while on vacation.
What now? Should I come there?
What are you doing here?
I've got nothing more to ask you.
She didn't steal anything. Please let her go.
You don't tell me what to do.

She is not a stranger.
Then, what was she doing there?
She is actually my wife.
Your wife?
Yes. We just got married. Look. She's wearing a dress.
We need to be on our honeymoon,
but can't...
because she's stuck here.
I am so sorry.
I will release her right away.
Okay.
A gift.
Thank you so much.
Congratulations!
I'm sorry about this morning.
I was heartless.
I apologize.
Right.
I guess you wouldn't want to shake hands with me yet.
We'll just take things slowly.
But... your bracelet.
I meant it's pretty.
Pretty.
Let's go.
I will buy a gift for you as my apology.
It's a red light. You can't go.
But really, what planet did you come from?
It's over there.
Hurry up.
Just a moment. Wait here.
Try these.
Put them on.
Right.
You should wear these.
Don't run around barefoot everywhere.
What's up with a woman's feet looking like this?
Go back inside.
JO NAM DU
Just wait a little longer. I'm with her right now.
Excuse me.
Do you know where she went?
She's in the fitting room, isn't she?
Six Million, where did you go?
HOME FOR MISSING CHILDREN
So carefree.
Why is a grown person in this place...
Hey. I told you to wait.
Don't you know what "wait" means?
If you leave without telling me, it makes me worry.
Are you okay?
You didn't get hurt?
Right.
You didn't get hurt.
What's that?
You know how to smile.
You must be hungry.
Let's go and eat.
You love to eat.
Tell me, did you come from the jungle?
Are you a wolf girl?
Why do you do things so instinctively?
Here. Watch me.
Like this.
Try it.
That's it!
Good.
We... have already gotten closer, right?
So in other words...
You've got something there.
Is it your first time seeing fire?
Why do you look so surprised?
Do you like it?
It's pretty.
Finish eating.
KIM DAM RYUNG
I have to go somewhere.
Wait here for me.
Material, hardness, transparency, color.
It all matches what you said.
It feels genuine.
Then let's meet up right away!
Should I come there or you come here?
I have fences and buyers ready for it.
I told you I wanted to go somewhere first.
Where are you going with a treasure like that?
TOWER OF HERCULES. HERCULES LIGHTHOUSE
Somewhere. The end of the world.
End of the world, my ass!
You need to settle with me!
- Don't be.... - Just wait for a week.
Will you please leave?
Business hours are over.
We're closed. Closed.
Do you speak English?
Hello.
Do you understand that?
She's crazy.
People like that. Because of her, we're getting off work this late.
Pretty.
That's mine.
Give it back!
Wait.
The word "wait" means something good is going to happen soon.
That even if I'm far away for a moment, like a wave,
my friend will come to find me.
I don't need to worry that a shark or scary person is nearby.
I don't need to be afraid.
Why is a grown person in this place...
Hey. I told you to wait.
Don't you know what "wait" means?
If you leave without telling me, it makes me worry.
Are you okay?
You didn't get hurt?
Right.
You didn't get hurt.
It means my friend hopes I'm not hurt,
and makes my heart feel warm.
It means something good will happen soon.
Special thanks to Kim Seong Yeong and Krystal

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW
Hey. The light!
I'm not even surprised anymore.
It's not like she's only been weird once or twice.
What is love?
It means you surrender.
Tomorrow night at 10 pm,
It means big trouble.
