Side notes: If thinking in general these stories that adapt classics aren't usually as long as this manhwa series is. Though I've not read the original H.C. Anderssen's Little Mermaid novel but still I felt that this is a lo-ong version.^-^ Although the story is okay but sad (reason why I didn't like it so much as a kind nor do I like it now). This manhwa ... paces too slow at the beginning so I's mostly flipping pages to get forward. The art is quite good and detailed - only thing that makes it a bit passee is the style that anchors it to the beginning of the 2000 and a bit earlier. Still it probably fits to friends of historical romance (that I'm not >.< ) but one needs to be patient 'cause the translation processes really slow.
P.S. I'm also thiking about the age limit... there are some scenes that make it easily go to the border of R17 and it probably fits readers of that age better than the younger generations but still... it depends so much of the reader and as I remember I read anything and everything at that age regardless the content if the story got my imagination working.^-^
