Synopsis

"If the life that you had regained, was one that I had breathed back into you... Is it too much to hope for you to love me back with that life?"

The year is 1926, in Japan-occupied Joseon. 17-year-old Soo-a is an illiterate handmaiden working for the household of a prominent Japanese collaborator. One day, she discovered an injured young man lying unconscious at the beach, an independence activist called Eui-hyeon. The sweet and innocent Soo-a nursed him back to health, and Eui-hyeon told her the tale of the "Little Mermaid," a princess of the sea who saved a prince from his death. Having fallen in love with Eui-hyeon, Soo-a was determined to meet him once again. But she knew not then, of the fate that awaited the "Little Mermaid" on her quest to reunite with her beloved.

Honestly one of the most tragic, beautiful, well written, heart wrenching stories I've ever read. Every character was written with such depth, they all had their stories and it was portrayed beautifully. It is realistic and not as full of fantasy as what I usually like to read.

I've learnt so much about the history and the lives people led during these times. About the passion and love somebody has for their country and what they are willing to sacrifice. I hated some characters at first, but as I kept reading, I understood and sympathised with their choices.

The art, the story, the characters are ...

This is one of the best manhwas I have read and I have read quite a few. The plot was amazingly paced with many heart-wrenching twists, I cannot elaborate more without spoiling so I will leave that. But this manhwa is honestly amazing, I would 100% recommend it... It shattered my heart into millions of tiny pieces but the art and storyline are so amazing that I could not stop reading despite this.

I suggest you read this and other manhwas written by the author as they are all amazingly illustrated and written. I cannot stress how much I love both this author and this manhwa, ...

Preliminary (39/109 eps)
yay i get to be the first to review this total masterpiece (no spoilers here!!)

its not finished so i cant say anything about the ending. personally for me the ending either makes or breaks a manga (or in this case manhwa) so well see.

anyways if u want a historical romance drama thats a total tearjerker this is the right place for you. i read the whole thing in one sitting and sobbed the entire time.

the art is also beautiful.

it was just such an emotional rollercoaster. the plot is crazy like my jaw was on the floor.

mc is not some lame ...
