Description
Dive is an animated film showing South Korea's rich history of folktales and inspiring Riew to draw upon "The Tale of Shimcheongjeon," also known as "Sim Cheong: The Dutiful Daughter." The main moral of this folktale is to highlight the filial piety, sacrifice, and redemption that Sim Cheong undergoes throughout her struggles to restore her blind father's sight. In doing so, she sells herself to sea merchants and learns that she must sacrifice herself to the sea. Impressed by her filial piety, the Dragon King, also known as the Sea King, returns her to the human world. In this act of self-sacrifice, Sim Cheong is reborn with truth and reunited with her father.
