Meet the con man trifecta of Legend of the Blue Sea


 


leg1.jpg


 


Lest we’ve forgotten that the gift that keeps on giving, aka Legend of the Blue Sea, doesn’t just star Jeon Ji-hyun (You From Another Star) and Lee Min-ho (Heirs), stills of Lee Min-ho and his fellow con men have been released. Actors Lee Hee-joon (Yoo-na’s Street) and Shin (Big) complete the swindling trio led by brilliant con man Lee Min-ho.


 


SBS’s hotly anticipated Legend of the Blue Sea is a fantasy romance drama written by You From Another Star scribe Park Ji-eun and directed by Jin Hyuk of City Hunter fame. Based on an old folktale about a mermaid caught by a fisherman, Legend centers around the last mermaid on earth, played by Jeon Ji-hyun, and the con man who’s stuck with easing her transition from an underwater existence to a life on land, played by Lee Min-ho. It’s a story that spans centuries, and we’ll be shown how our characters evolved from past to present.


 


Lee Hee-joon plays Jo Nam-doo, the sly and quick-witted decoy who can convincingly put on any act and lure people in with his inviting demeanor. While Lee Min-ho’s character Heo Joon-jae is the mastermind who conceives the schemes, Nam-doo is the one who lays down the tracks so the con can commence. Shin plays Tae-oh, the technician with flower boy looks who can unlock any door in two seconds, clearing whatever obstacles may obstruct them.


 


If you love a man in uniform, then you’ll love Lee Min-ho disguised as a pilot with aviators on. Sadly they’re not all in uniform, but Lee Hee-joon in a pinstripe suit gives off a dandy feel, and Shin looks effortlessly cool and casual in a leather jacket. I’d clamor to join this squad. Believe it or not, the show finally premieres next week. The biggest question will be whether it will meet the hype or fizzle despite the A-list wattage. We shall see!


Legend of the Blue Sea premieres on SBS on November 16.

Jun Ji Hyun Explains How The Mermaid Is Different From Her Previous Role As Cheon Song Yi

 

 

Jun Ji Hyun recently talked about how her mermaid character differs from her character in a previous drama.

On November 14, SBS’s upcoming drama “The Legend of the Blue Sea†held a press conference, where Jun Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho were present as the main leads.

 

While the two actors talked about working together, Jun Ji Hyun also shared how the mermaid is different from her previous character on “My Love From the Star.†“Because mermaids are not a common topic in Korean films and dramas, my character feels more refreshing. It’s exciting to think that I can show more things,†Jun Ji Hyun began.

She continued to talk about her character, saying, “She’s different from Cheon Song Yi. I know that a lot of people are expecting a character that is beyond Cheon Song Yi. Everything is new to the mermaid. There are situations that happen when the mermaid encounters new things, and viewers will be able to feel a different kind of enjoyment and see a different role when they see how the mermaid accepts these things. There are also a lot of scenes that take place underwater.â€

 

“The Legend of the Blue Sea†will air its first episode on November 16 and will be available exclusively onVikiAre you excited to see Jun Ji Hyun as a mermaid?

Actress Jun Ji-hyun plays tough mermaid in new series

 

SEOUL, Nov. 14 (Yonhap) -- Top actress Jun Ji-hyun will return to the small screen this week to play a tough but gorgeous mermaid navigating her way through the modern world.

The "hallyu" star, who is best known for her portrayals of wild and mysterious characters, has been cast in the role of Shim Chung in the SBS drama "The Legend of the Blue Sea," a fantasy-romance that also aims to be fun.

Shim Chung is a mermaid from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) who travels to modern day Seoul in search of her love Heo Joon-jae (Lee Min-ho) and stumbles upon a genius conman with a knack for magic and hypnosis.

"When I first heard that I would be playing a mermaid, rather than being worried, I was really excited," Jun said during a promotional press conference held in southern Seoul Monday. "I thought the character of a mermaid is not something that can be seen easily in movies or dramas and therefore very new. I was excited at the thought of presenting a lot of different things."

The Wednesday-Thursday series is the actress's first TV work since "My Love from the Star," which took hallyu fans by storm in 2013-2014. Lee also contributed to hallyu, or the global spread of Korean pop culture, through his role in the 2009 series "Boys over Flowers."

   Jun said she chose the new series partly for its screenwriter Park Ji-eun, whom she worked with on "My Love from the Star." She stressed, however, that her character would be completely different from that of the top actress she played in the previous series.

"In terms of their similarities, it's a hurdle I have to overcome and something I'm constantly thinking about as I act," she said. "(For Shim Chung), everything is mysterious and new. So in expressing that and her acceptance (of reality), I think we will be able to entertain viewers."

   Despite all the fun she's had filming the series, Jun said she never wants to play a mermaid again.

"I like swimming and am quite athletic but being in the water and playing a mermaid really pushed me to physical and other limits," she confessed with a laugh. "I tell myself everyday that I will never again play a character that's limited to a certain occupation that involves water or fire."

   Jun and Lee agreed that it took time to grow comfortable with each other as they had never worked together before and were both busy learning their characters. Lee even said he was intimidated by Jun at first because of her presence.

"Once we became comfortable, our reactions to each other and our chemistry became smoother, so I'm hoping this will bring good results," Lee said.

The series was inspired by a Joseon legend about a mayor who rescued young mermaids from a fisherman and returned them to the sea.
