The Legend of Shanhai

Drama ENT (China)

Set against a stunning deep-sea dreamscape, The Legend of Shanhai is a magical musical blending fantasy, adventure and the bittersweet journey of growing up. In the whispering waves of the North Sea, young Beiming dreams of the skies beyond his island home. Swept into a mysterious undersea world, he meets Kun – a mighty fish longing to soar. As they brave whirlpools and sea beasts, Beiming learns that true freedom lies in embracing both roots and wings. Inspired by ancient Chinese mythology, this lyrical tale is a soaring ode to family, dreams and self-discovery.
