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:
9. Lee’s last show in a while
Like a parting gift, “Legends” marks Lee’s TV comeback since “The Heirs” (2013) and sadly, may be his last show in a few years. In May this year, Lee’s agency MYM Entertainment revealed that he “will serve as a public service officer” when he begins his military service, revealing that he will likely be enlisting “early next year”. “Legends” will therefore probably be fans’ last glimpse of Lee’s acting before he’s off to the army.
