My Mother, The Mermaid

If mermaids auditioned for family therapists, this cast would be booked for weeks. Na-young abandons her overseas trip to hunt down a vanishing father, only to find her mother swapping scales for slippers in a coastal hometown. The real surprise? Mom’s the one who really knows how to hold her breath.
