If you loved the popular war romance series "Descendants of the Sun", you'll want to tune in to the next K-drama that's been rippling waves through Asia.
"Legend of the Blue Sea" tells of genius manipulator Heo Joon Jae (Lee Min Ho, "The Heirs") who meets Shim Chung (Jun Ji Hyun, "My Love from the Star"), the world's last mermaid who has lived for centuries in search of the man who had saved her in the past. When the two cross paths, hilarity ensues as Shim Chung attempts to adjust to life on land.
Need more persuasion to catch this show? Here are 10 compelling reasons why you'll be addicted to it in no time:
5. Tough female lead
Lee may be dripping with charisma in this series (as usual), but he can take a seat because Jun is quickly emerging as the real MVP (Most Valuable Player) of “Legend”. Her character, Shim Chung, comes up strong and independent, not needing Heo to fight her battles for her. In fact, on more than one occasion, she actually comes to his rescue and utterly flattens the bad guys in an epic fight. You go, girl.
