The Legend of the Blue Sea (푸른 바다의 전설)

August, 1586, Hyeupgok-hyun, Gangwan-do

Hurry, hurry.

I'm going!

Episode 1

What fortune is all this? - I know, right?

Just pick them up quickly.

Wow, it's a full harvest! A year of abundance!

I've never seen something like this.

Hurry and put them in the basket. - Yes, yes.

What is this?

Come quickly.

Is it a human or a fish?

Where's the mermaid?

This way.

It's a real mermaid.

Here, here, here...

Be careful, Sir! - Ah, you started me!

Why? -They say that if you touch a mermaid without caution,

the mermaid will take the human's soul and erase their memory.

What nonsense are you talking about?

I heard that is... a way the mermaids defend themselves against humans.

I heard that there are some seamen who went crazy, by touching mermaids.

Well, that doesn't matter, since I won't be using my hands on the mermaid but

using a sword.

Does it understand?

Anyway, I intend on giving you people a big treat today.

Yes, yes.

Sung Ga, is the feast preparation going well?

Yes.

When is the newly appointed town head arriving?

Sir, many town heads have come and gone,

but it's the first time seeing someone with such great features.

Is that so? -Yes.

Ever since the time I studied in Sungkyunkwan (university),

I'm not sure about the academics, but I never lost first place for visuals.

'Head and shoulders above others,' or 'high and lofty,' shall I say.

It's a pity that such a great person became a widower so early in life.

You really would be melting the hearts of the ladies in the village.

Sir, have you possibly heard about the mermaid?

Mermaid? -Yes.

The people of the boats say that, when mermaids come to the land, they gain human legs.

There was a case that they married a human.

Those are all old stories, aren't they?

Although there are rumours about the existence of mermaids, no one has actually seen one,

so how is it different from a ghost story that causes delusions for people?

Is that so?

Today is a happy day when a new town head has come.

I am thinking of showing everyone a very rare sight.

Sir. It's a real mermaid.

Not the kind of mermaid that is told in an old story,

but a real mermaid that I caught myself.

You...

What do you intend on doing with that mermaid?

At the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, there supposed to be a never extinguished flame.

Do you know the secret to that? It's mermaid oil.

They say the oil extracted from a mermaid is of best quality.

Even the whale oil, that is supposed to be the best oil, do not compare to it.

It doesn't rot, even if you leave it for a long time.

So this is just.. the value can't be priced.

After doing my duties and living with goodwill,

I guess these kind of fortunes come.

To someone like you who does his duties and lives with good will,

I'm very sorry to say this but..

What may you happen to be saying..?

I privately checked before starting my post here.

By what do you mean? -You,

You had prepaid over 1000 nyang worth of tax, and acquired a government position,

and collected over 3 times of that amount from the fishermen.

That is a really bad crime...

and the times are even worse. Recently, His Majesty has declared that those who make profits with tax,

and make the citizens suffer should be punished severely.

Normally it would be punished with just 100 hits...

Ah, but this time it seems to be the case of taking one's life instead..what a pity.

Then, could you please tell me

what I would have to do?

I mean, if there's something you would wish for..

Anything.

Anything?

Anything that is.

Anything you say...

How dare he comes to my land and causes me disgrace.

We'll see what happens.

A mermaid cannot survive, leaving the sea.

I will definitely put that mermaid in my hands again.

And that naive town head...

I'm going to get rid of him with my hands.

Look, look over there. What is that wily thing doing?

Is she trying to drag that town head guy into the ocean

and take his soul and erase his memory, isn't she?

They say

mermaids only erase memories that they want to erase.

However, it would be better not to take that hand.

The worlds that a human and mermaid live in are clearly different,

whether it's good or bad destiny,

what use is it to form ties with it?

It's time to get off. -Mum, I'll press it.

Our Seo Won is going to press it? -Yes.

Ok.

I'm Kim Myung Hoon. A lawyer.

I'm Nam In Joong, who called earlier. It's true that I won't get caught buying stolen goods, right?

Oh, what's this? - Oh, my!

Ta Da! It's a present.

Thank you, sir!

You know, you're like the Harry Potter of con-artists. Oh no, you're better than Harry Potter.

Because your visuals are better.

Exactly.

It's the Public prosecutors office.

our elevators broken so..

Ah yes, sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, it's right in front, so we'll be there right away.

Yes.

Ok, let's go. Hey, wake up.

Let's go. - Hey, go!

I guess you came quickly since you said you were nearby. - Ah, yes.

Work hard.

Just a moment.

Chief Go didn't come? He was the one who always came.

Over there.

Ah, I didn't recognize him because he's wearing glasses today.

Yes, then please do your duties.

It's broken. I think you need to go by the stairs.

Elevator out of order. Work in progress

Status of reservations for the interrogation room today

Aigo, I'm telling you! That can't prove the identity!

Don't you know Judge Lee's style?

Ah, Mr. Han Sung Tae. - Ah, yes.

I'll call you back. Oh, you came together with your wife. Please have a seat.

Would you like some tea? - No, it's okay. - Have a seat.

You look even better now! #730 prosecutors organization chart

Mr. Prosecutor, I had told you about him before...

This is CEO Han, who brought this work to us.

This is Myungdong Capital's madam.

Myungdong Capital?

I told you about it before. You know, in Gangnam Jeil High School,

a student committed suicide, but his suicide note had her son's name written on it.

He's the crazy idiot.

If he's going to fall, then he should fall by himself and die. Why write my son's name on there?

Why does my son have to go through this, because of a crazy idiot died?

My son will be taking a college entrance exam soon.

Now is a crucial time to take care of his mental health.

Come out within a minute. The office owner will be coming back soon.

Should we go for some lunch? Ah, I'm hungry.

What do you like, madam?

What is this!

It's good. It's all good but, I can't really do much for you.

Just get my son cleared.

Our secret account is near Virgin Island...

That's not that good.

Excuse me? - Virgin Island is not so good.

What? - That is a tax haven.

When it's supposed to be a haven, how can it be so famous? Can you even hide there?

That's true...

Why don't you move it and then hide? subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

I know a pretty cool place.

Where is it?

It's an island in the Mediterranean sea. I heard the view is amazing there.

Oh yes, Madame! I've just checked the amount!

Of course! We're all on the same boat now.

If anyone gets a hold of that account then of course, our dear Prosecutor would have to step down

but your company would be left in the dust with tax audits-You are aware of that?

I'll be praying for nothing but success for your son's college entrance exams.

I'll be hanging up now, alright.

Damn, it's so clean!

I had the best dreams with this gig ahead of us.

Hey, Tae-...

Hey! You're not even going to say bye?!

That little... - Leave him alone, he doesn't know how to say bye but he can open doors in 2 seconds.

I hate it the most when he just goes without saying bye!

What, and you do? You're the one with the crappiest mannerisms.

In the text that was compiled by royal physicians during the Joseon Dynasty, they call perspiration, fluids of the heart.

Having a lot of perspiration on your hands signifies that your heart might have some problems.

Oh, my heart.

Herbalists can really tell with just a glance, can't they.

Nothing but an occupational hazard. Darn-I really wanted to just rest during my break.

But from humanistic aspects, I couldn't let it go by unnoticed.

You must be a man with a lot of love.

We'll be landing shortly so I'll go ahead and open your blinds.

Yes ma'am.

Isn't it beautiful? I've been to a number of countries

but there isn't a place that can match the ocean here.

You're right.

When I flew around here a long time ago, I heard something the from elderly men who've lived here for a long time,

they said that mermaids still live in these waters.

Oh! Of course.

It's true!

A long time ago, mermaids lived in any parts of the ocean

but now most of them have disappeared

and they say the last mermaids that remain on this Earth, live in this ocean.

Wow!

Mom! Look there!

It's a mermaid in the sea!

I read him a fairy tale once and now he thinks mermaids are real.
