The Legend of the Blue Sea, a romantic and fantastical journey
The Legend of the Blue Sea is an excellent drama! Overall, this drama is excellent! It's a pleasure that the drama took the risk of filming elsewhere than South Korea, namely on the island of Palau, in the Pacific, and in Spain. It's very successful! The plot is very well developed, with a mix of romance, fantasy, comedy, and cliffhangers. As for the characters, the duo of Joon Jae/Kim Dam Ryeong and Cheong, played by Lee Min Ho and Gianna Jun/Jun Ji Hyun, is one of the drama's biggest strengths. Actress Gianna Jun is MAGNIFICENT and is one of my favorites, both as an actress and in the drama! As for Lee Min Ho, he confirms that he's still an excellent actor! Besides, the six-year age gap between the two actors/actresses didn't bother me either. Otherwise, I also became attached to the other characters, namely Si Ah (Shin Hye Sun), Tae Oh (Shin Won Ho) and some guests who appear in only one episode, notably the flight attendant Mun Ji (Kristal) and the young mermaid (Kim Seul Gi). In terms of the OST, it perfectly matches the atmosphere of the drama. Everything you need to definitely love it. In short, it's pure happiness!
