K-Dramas with conmen

How can a mermaid from the Joseon era survive in modern society?
&nbsp;
Shim Cheong (Jun Ji Hyun) is a mermaid who follows her one true love, a nobleman’s son named Kim Moon from the Joseon Dynasty to modern-day Seoul. Moon’s modern doppelgänger is Heo Joon Jae (Lee Min Ho), a highly-skilled scam artist who first becomes interested in Shim Cheong because of a jade bracelet worth $6 million that she wears.
&nbsp;
With nowhere to go, Shim Cheong is taken in by Joon Jae, who also finds his con partners, Jo Nam Doo (Lee Hee Joon) and Tae Oh (Shin Won Ho), hiding out in his home from a vengeful past victim of their scams. Shim Cheong discovers a rival for Joon Jae’s heart in Cha Shi Ah (Shin Hye Sun), a researcher at KAIST who deals with ancient artifacts.
&nbsp;
The plot takes a sinister turn when a dangerous killer named Ma Dae Young (Sung Dong Il) is sent by Joon Jae’s stepmother to murder him in order to make her own son the heir to Joon Jae’s fortunes. Can Shim Cheong survive her strange new environment while also helping Joon Jae avoid the dangers that await him?

But Oh Young is a blind, untrusting woman who also has lost everything she has loved. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she became estranged from her mother and older brother.
