KOREAN TALE OF MERMAID AND RESCUER
THE top-rated Korean entertainment channel ONE dazzles with the new drama series Legend Of The Blue Sea, starring reigning king and queen of Korean drama, Lee Min Ho and Jun Ji Hyun.
The series airs every Thursday and Friday at 8.10pm, within 24 hours of its Korean telecast.
“Following the runaway success of Scarlet Heart, we are elated that viewers can enjoy the next big Korean drama of the year exclusively on ONE,” said Virginia Lim, senior vice-president and head of content, production & marketing, Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia.
“Legend Of The Blue Sea has all the makings of a hit drama and viewers will be truly captivated by its massive star power, an intriguing premise, and impressive cinematography,” she says
Legend Of The Blue Sea is also the highly anticipated comeback drama for both its leading stars. The series marks Lee Min Ho’s return to the small screen after three years, and it is the first drama for new mum Jun Ji Hyun, who gave birth to a baby boy last February.
The 20-episode drama is helmed by renowned writer Park Ji Eun (My Love From The Star) and acclaimed director Jin Hyuk (The Master’s Sun, City Hunter). The series tells the tale of the centuries spanning love of the world’s last mermaid and the man who saved her.
In the present day, Lee Min Ho plays a conman, and hilarity ensues when he crosses paths with Jun Ji Hyun’s mermaid character as she attempts to adjust to life on land.
