It tells the story of a mermaid's survival in the human world after she loses her lover as well as a beautiful love story.

This drama tells the love story of a con artist and a mermaid who travels across the ocean to find him, based on a classic Joseon legend from Korea's first collection of unofficial historical tales about a fisherman who captures and releases a mermaid. Shim Cheong (Jun Ji-hyun), a mermaid, and Heo Joon-jae (Lee Min-ho), a witty con artist, are the main characters in the series. Their story is juxtaposed with the parallel story of their Joseon-era incarnations, the mermaid, Se-hwa, and town head, Kim Dam-ryeong, focusing on rebirth, fate, and unrequited love.
