[ENGLISH TRANSLATION] Lee Min Ho x Jeon Ji Hyun "Legend of the Blue Sea" Preview before tonight's 16th of November Premiere Broadcast - 16.11.2016

CxWF0xeUAAAZccv.jpg

[NEWSEN; Reporter Yoon Ga Yi] The most awaited SBS Wednesday - Thursday Drama "Legend of the Bluea Sea" raised the viewer's expectations by release a new still cuts and publishing 3 detailed points/reasons why viewers should watch the drama, ahead of its long-awaited premiere broadcast tonight, the 16th of November.

The Wednesday-Thursday SBS Drama "Legend of the Blue Sea" (Written by Park Ji Eun / Directed by Jin Hyuk / Culture Depot of South Korea / Production House Studio Dragon) will start their broadcast on November 16th. Drama “Legend of the Blue Sea†would be a fantasy romance filled with laughter and fun. The drama will also have unpredictable events as the very last mermaid on the planet will meet the con-artist and will have trouble adapting to the human life, There will be a connection tying their past that will cross over to the future as the story unfold. The story line was promised to give the audience a brand new experience.

3 reasons:

1. The Mysterious yet pure last mermaid on Earth with her struggle to adapt to the human world. The mysterious yet pure mermaid brought by Jeon Ji Hyun with her new two legs will let viewers laugh and show freshness with her apperance, while she can also swim like the dolphins. Vieweres has anticipated what kind of appearance that Jeon Ji Hyun will bring, and how will the human world look like on the eyes of this pure, innocent mermaid.

2. The delightful apperance and episode telling the story of the charming, yet genius con-artist. We have seen from the released still cuts and photos that Heo Jun Jae, brought by Lee Min Ho is a genius con-artist with senses and full of emotions. With his so-called "Ethic Sense and Consciousness", makes him insisted that he only pull scam on "Bad People". His beautiful visual can't be denied and women can't help but to fall over him. His ability of combining characters with astonishing transformation that can change every moment, not to mention for example his ability to do Hypnosis and control human brain (opponent, most likely) with his knowledge in brian science when his opponent look at his eyes. Viewers are looking forward and imagine the episodes which he will fight together with the trio (Lee Hee Joon and Shin Won Ho).

3. Star studded staffs and casts that couldn't be find and seen everywhere.
The combination of big names as leads such as Jeon Ji Hyun, Lee Min Ho, writer Park Ji Eun and director Jin Hyeok is enough without explanation, ready to make difference. The crew that work on the drama also previously work on "Misaeng", "Oh My Ghostess!" and "Signal". Meanwhile, famous Cinematographer Choi Sang Mook has been hired on board to work on the drama, previously work on great music and cinematography for "Love in the Moonlight", "Goong", "A Family" and "Ireland". He is expected to bring mistery to the fantasy romance.
On the other hand, Yoshimata Ryo, a famous Japanese composer has also come on board. He was known to have wrote number of themes including Japanese Movie "Between Calmness and Passion" and "One Million Stars Falling from the Sky". How can we all expect a good synergy and effect between the best actors, staffs and crew.

Meanwhile, the drama “Legend of the Blue Sea†is scheduled to broadcast its 1st episode on 16th of November 10 PM KST, continuing and taking the time slot as the follow-up of “Incarnation of Jealousy†with Wednesday-Thursday airing schedule.

OST Bckground song

 

 

 

LYN – LOVE STORY (THE LEGEND OF THE BLUE SEA OST)

Always in the same dream
With an unfamiliar face
In the frozen time
I faced you

I think I was a little scared
That this would be only a dream forever
But now, even when I open my eyes, it’s you

This is love story
I can’t hide it
My eyes that only look at you
I can’t close them

This is amazing
Even if I get everything in the world
I can’t exchange it for you, my love

 

Some day, at least once
It will come to me
That person, that love
I will find it

It will hurt a lot
But even if you ask me again
It’s truly love

This is love story
I can’t hide it
My eyes that only look at you
I can’t close them

This is amazing
Even if I get everything in the world
I can’t exchange it

This is love story
that I can’t hide away
In your heart
I want to deeply fall asleep

This is love
This is happiness
In case this is a dream
I can’t open my eyes

This is my love story
I love you, only you

Fantasy-romance drama gets off to strong start

 

 

Cxb4dnlVEAAqpkP.jpg

 

SEOUL, Nov. 17 (Yonhap) -- A new TV series about a mermaid navigating her way through the modern world has got off to a strong start thanks in part to the star power of its cast.

 

"The Legend of the Blue Sea," a new fantasy romance on SBS TV, recorded a viewership rating of 16.4 percent nationwide and 18 percent in the capital area during its first episode Wednesday, according to media ratings company Nielsen Korea.

 

The figures are considered high, as recent dramas have mostly struggled to surpass even the 10 percent mark.

 

Jun Ji-hyun, a leader of the global spread of Korean pop culture known as "hallyu," plays a mermaid from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) who travels to the modern world in search of her love Heo Joon-jae (Lee Min-ho). Lee, a hallyu heartthrob, plays a genius conman with a knack for magic and hypnosis.

 

The Wednesday-Thursday series pairs the actress with screenwriter Park Ji-eun, who wrote the script for Jun's last TV work "My Love from the Star." The drama took hallyu fans by storm in 2013-2014.

DRAMA RECAPS
Legend of the Blue Sea: Episode 2
by girlfriday | November 17, 2016 
 
bluesea02-00259a.jpg&key=e587007b64ebe20
 

I’m really loving the tonal pendulum of this show, which is both sadder and funnier than I expected, but so well executed in both extremes. The comedy really ramps up in this second hour, sending us on a totally ridiculous farce of a chase that has me in stitches. But no matter how outlandish the comedy, the heart of the emotion is always there, making it easy to empathize with our mermaid who’s adrift on land and our con man who’s adrift in life.

 

Joseon, 1598. Newly appointed mayor Dam-ryung lights wish lanterns by the sea with local children, and accidentally lets one loose too early, sending him down the shore to collect his wayward lantern. But he discovers that someone else has found it first, and is surprised to see that it’s the mermaid he’d released back into the ocean.

 

The old fisherman who had witnessed their parting narrates over the scene: “It is a connection that should not have been made. But they are already linked, and so that connection will continue. They will meet again.â€

 

Hearing this, mermaid-hunter Lord Yang chuckles and interprets it as a very simple roadmap to recapturing the mermaid: follow the mayor back to her.
