My Love from the Ocean (Lai Zi Hai Yang De Ni / 来自海洋的你)

Since 2000,

3 new marine species have been found

each week on average.

According to the ongoing marine organisms census plan,

there are still 5,000 marine fishes

and millions of other marine organisms

to be found.

Also,

humans have never stopped researching

about the mysterious merpeople.

Despite some clues proving its existence,

the fact has never been confirmed.

= Episode 1 =

= Hai Yan City =

Happy now?

Great, you look perfect!

Professor Dai reminds you that

some new books will come in today,

so go to the bookstore after breakfast.

Got it.

You're so nagging.

Hey.

Where's my dad?

There's a fishing club gathering today,

so he's sailed out.

Did he say when he'll be back?

No.

But he told me to take care of you.

Take care of me?

More like supervising!

= Once Bookstore =

Here's your books.

OK.

Please sign here.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I am Dai Xi.

I run this bookstore for my dad.

I grew up under his over-protection,

but I love going on adventures

and exploring this world full of mysteries.

= Haiyan Institute of Biological Sciences =

You're so cute.

Here, your ice water.

Thank you.

When's your last shower?

Come on.

It's probably just a mosquito bite,

kind of itchy.

This video topped the most searched list

as soon as it came out last night.

Although these legendary species

have been shot before,

it's the first time to capture footage

of a mermaid this close-up.

Mermaid?

According to marine biology,

it's really hard for this kind of

human-fish species to survive in the ocean.

So it's probably just a legend.

And they won't look like the ones in fairytales

through long-term evolution.

But how can you explain the video?

Probably just a prank.

It looks way too much like a human.

It's definitely fake.

I prefer to reserve

my opinions on this.

I'd rather believe it.

As a scientific researcher,

shouldn't you be doubtful

on all unknown things?

Oh, I see,

can't believe you're double-faced.

Huh?

In the day,

you look professional in a lab-gown.

But right after work,

you'd become this super cutie,

reading fairytale books to sleep,

am I right?

I don't even have time to date right now.

You've got me, still wanting to date?

My bad.

Shu.

Shu.

Coming. Your noodles.

Here's yours, Dai Xi.

Thank you Shu!

This one's yours, Gu Yan.

Why gave me so many?

You're too skinny, so eat more.

I'm skinny?

Yes!

Recently,

strange sudden deaths have occurred

in our city and other regions.

The deceased appear to have chapped skin

and salient eyes.

The reason is unknown for now.

According to the forensic doctors,

they have all taken this same unknown medicine.

Seems it's not safe in the city.

Be careful when you're alone.

It's OK. Don't worry,

I have you.

Clingy girl!

Hey, hurry up and eat,

and leave once you've finished.

It's not safe for me to go home at night.

It's too safe for you!

Tsh.

You're back?

The bookstore was closed

when I went by in the afternoon.

Where did you go?

Dad, let me help.

Hey, don't bother.

You'll get the smell.

Why did you go catch so many fish?

We can't finish them all,

and it's so cruel.

Well I can finish them myself, OK?

And I can share them

with our neighbors as well.

Plus, the joy of fishing

is the moment when they bite on.

You can't release them

as they'll die soon anyways.

Dai Xi,

you're a big girl now.

Don't just leave the store willfully.

My students went for the books the other day,

but it was closed.

My bad?

Who else to blame?

Dad, I was wrong.

Forgive me this time.

Alright, alright!

It's too late.

Go take a shower and go to bed now.

OK, dad,

good night then.

Recently, strange sudden deaths continue to appear

in our city, Japan, Taipei, Bangkok and other areas.

The deceased are all well-known people.

They all appear to have chapped skin

and salient eyes.

According to forensic doctors,

they've all taken the same unknown medicine.

It's still under investigation.

= Bangkok, Thailand =

Who sent you here?

Spin wants to meet you.

Today!

Today alright!

= Ad. Chama Garden =

Move!

Stop!

Enough.

What's this about?

Robbery?

The bounty hunters proving their abilities

is also a part of the examination.

Cicada's my boxer.

He's quite famous in Southeast Asia.

I heard that

you're the most powerful hunter.

I didn't expect you're so young.

I'm interested in you.

But what I'm interested in

is your price.

This ring

was stuck with the shipwreck 30 years ago

in an unreachable hole deep down.

Dangerous undercurrents surround it.

And many people died in the ocean

for this mystery ring.

How did you get it?

It's personal.

Offer your price since you know

its value.

You can do much better

than being a bounty hunter.

Work for me.

Thanks,

but I'm not interested.

Is that interesting coin you're wearing

a Syrian silver coin?

How much would you sell it for?

Not selling.

Someone gave it to me to look after,

it'll be back one day.
