Drama Review: Legend of the Blue Sea
playbuzz

Legend of the Blue Sea is Korean drama that just recently ended and I have to say I'd recommend this series to anyone even if you don't normally watch k-dramas. It's a romantic comedy and the heroine's acting skills are one of the main reasons why this series is so good. She's a mermaid that left the ocean one day and she meets a guy when she breaks into his room for a cherry(of course she doesn't understand she was stealing). The fact that she doesn't understand human societal rules is made even more comedic by detail that she doesn't know how to speak at first. She communicates mainly through her facial expressions and the male lead just continues like she understands everything even though there's several indicators that she's not getting a thing.

It gets even more entertaining when the get into the main story. The male lead is a con artist that's hiding away on vacation in Spain when he meets the heroine and he ends up being found out by one of the people he's scammed. He ends up returning home and the mermaid goes after him.

Her powers and as well as limitations of being a mermaid keep getting her in all sorts of situations and while all this is happening, it turns out that history is repeating itself and all the characters are reincarnations of people who lived a long time ago and suffered a tragic fate so now they've come back to rewrite fate.

Overall, the drama has a great story but what I love the most is the characters. Aside from the heroine's silly acting, there's also a bunch of hilarious side characters that she makes friends with like a homeless woman who loves quoting philosophy and a lonely little girl who teaches her proper morals and the value of working and having a job.

Legend of the blue Sea while being a comedy, also has it's sad moments and this series really left me feeling melancholy when it ended so soon(of course I binge watched it in a couple days but it was still too soon). I sincerely hope more people will try this series I found it by chance and thought I would stop after one episode except I ended up having to force myself to sleep after episode 10. This is a great series for anyone who enjoys fantasy and a bit of magic like I do as well as a good romantic comedy.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
