We are seriously lacking new live-action TV series and movies related to isekai (parallel world).
I've watched every English title in every listicle I can find through search. :blobbonecry: I'm currently going through the remaining Korean titles I still have in my watchlist.
Parallel world, or isekai, doesn't have to be science fiction, it can be fantasy. I guess it's easier to write time travel stories? While I love time travel―especially if its time travel is complex—parallel world stories are more interesting.
More! :ablobbonebongo:
PS When it comes to books, we have plenty. But there are times when I just want watch.
According to Sebastian, the mer king, like any other long-lived kings and gods, fell in love with a human princess. Eventually she gave birth to a little girl, and they call her Ariel.
The mer king's sister, that nasty octopus sea witch, revealed the existence of the mers to the humans, and the witch attacked them. The mer king had no choice but to do two things:
He erased the memories of the humans, including the princess's.
He took Ariel, and turned her human legs into a mermaid.
Years passed, Ariel grew up. As she is half-human, Ariel was always attached to the surface world. Her innate human curiosity is her life.
Then the events of the Little Mermaid live-action happened.
The mer king simply returned Ariel's human legs. And Ariel was right that she felt living in prison, because that's exactly what her father did, and she was never meant to be live as a mermaid.
During their wedding voyage, they met the two little girls of the northern kingdom. Ariel quickly grew fond of them as the sisters both love to sing like her.
Years later, the two sisters grew up. During their coronation day, Queen Ariel and King Eric visited them.
Unbeknownst to them all, King Eric is actually the older brother of Elsa and Anna.
