- Story Text:South Korean drama sensations Gianna Jun and Lee Min-ho promoted their new television drama "Legend of the Blue Sea" on Monday (November 14) in Seoul.
The fantasy drama "Legend of the Blue Sea", which is inspired by Korea's historical tale about a fisherman capturing and releasing a mermaid, tells the story of the mermaid who came into the present era from 1392-1910 Chosun dynasty.
Jun, who last acted in the mega-hit drama "My Love From the Star", took on the role of the mermaid.
"I was so excited to show something new and various different looks (through this mermaid character). After I got the script and looked through the mermaid role which I took, I can say that the character represents such a lovely and cheerful personality," Jun said during the news conference in Seoul.
Acting opposite her in the drama, South Korean top actor Lee, who played the swindler named "Joon-jae", said he was satisfied with their growing chemistry.
"Due to a clear concept of mermaid and establishment of character 'Joon-jae', it was not that difficult to make a scene facing and squabbling with each other. As my senior, she has become much more comfortable for me, so the reaction and harmony between us has appeared very naturally on recent shooting," Lee said.
The supporting cast also includes Shin Hae-sun, Sung Dong-il, Lee Hee-jun and Shin Won-ho.
The 20-episodes television series will begin airing from November 16 on SBS (Seoul Broadcasting System) twice weekly. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
