Plot
Set in the 17th Century, Jang Beo-jin (
Seo Woo)
is a young female diver on Tamra Island. She doesn't particularly enjoy
her situation and dreams of one day leaving the island. One day, to her
shock, she discovers a young blond haired man laying on the beach. The
young man's name is William (
Pierre Deporte)
and he is a shipwrecked British citizen. Another young man named Park
Kyu enters the island under the disguise of one of the many convicts
sent to Tamra Island. In actuality, Park Kyu (
Lim Ju-Hwan)
is a budding government official known as a Seonbi. These three young
people then become involved in a hilarious love triangle.
Notes
- "Tamra Island" or "Tamra-do" is an earlier name for the South Korean island now known as Jeju Island.
- Beo-jin works as a female diver, commonly known in South Korea
as "haenyo" (literally "sea women"). The 2004 South Korean film "My Mother the Mermaid" covers this line of work in detail.
- Actress Seo Woo
could not swim prior to landing the role of Beo-jin Jang. She then
trained intensively for three months to play the role of a haenyo. [1]
- Due to low vierwship ratings (5% weekly average) 'Tamra, the Island" was cut from 20 episodes to 16 episodes. [2]
In response to shortening the series, fans of the television show took
out an advertisement in "Hangyerye Newspaper" (한겨레신문) in protest. [3]
