I wasn't gonna grant so many stars.
Let me explain. The show mixes two love stories. As the secondary story took A LOT of room, and I really didn't care, I ended up watching only half the show.
Even skipping most of it, I found some scenes were too long and too repetitive. Basically, the guy keeps going after the woman and keeps getting rejected. Over and over.
Still. At some point, I started to really feel for the leads and to root for them. It is, undeniably a very beautiful love story. Joo Won's unwavering feelings sort of reached out to me, and moved me, churned me. Even after I turned off the screen, the couple stayed with me, the thought of how wonderful it would be if such a love existed.
Then, I went for the soundtrack and found that the main song is actually sung by Hyun Bin. While I'm not a fan of his, I totally fell for his warm voice. That was my coup de grâce. Every romantic moment from the show came back at me and I realized that it was beyond beautiful. I truly wish they had made a short series with just the Little Mermaid and the Prince... Princess?
