I am so happy that November 16th is gonna coming soon! Now we have the teaser already for Legend of the Blue Sea and who's excited other than me?!
The teaser gives us a glimpse of Jun Ji Hyun, first as a mermaid, and then in human form—although it looks like she’s still got a ways to go in acclimating to the ways of humanfolk. Her eccentricities are on full display as she confronts the genius scam artist played by Lee Min Ho, who doesn’t know what to make of her.
In the teaser, Jun Ji Hyun’s initial voiceover says, “You will not be able to remember me anymore. But still… [they’re] pretty. They sparkle. Your eyes.”
Then Lee Min Ho jolts awake in bed in the morning, and finds his place littered with remnants of food, and finds her huddled among his clothes.
She kicks him back, and he warns that he won’t go easy on her just because she’s a woman… just before she sends him flying across the room. And then, she quietly “hangs” herself back up in his closet.
The dynamic reminds me a bit of the oddball-fantasy-creature feel of My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, which I loved because the character was such a lovable weirdo who saw the world in new and interesting ways.
It looks like Jun Ji Hyun is going to be as adorable and feisty as ever, and she’ll likely overturn our hero’s life, in all the best ways.
The show is looking cuter and funnier as we see more of it, so my fingers will be in permanently crossed position until it finally launches next month.
Legend of the Blue Sea premieres on November 16 on SBS.
