The Legend of the Blue Sea: Lee Min Ho & Jun Ji-Hyun

Sunday, November 20, 2016

Here I am again getting addicted to Korean Drama, just recently SBS released the first two episodes of the newest Korean Drama of Lee Min Ho and Jun Ji-Hyun "The Legend of the Blue Sea" and when I after watching it, I was again hooked. As always, it was cinematic, the scenes were carefully shot and the background of the story makes it even more interesting. 

Jun Ji-Hyun is really a one of a kind actress, she can be beautiful and at the same time portray someone that crazy and idiotic but she still manages to look amazing gorgeous while Lee Min Ho does it will his good looks and dashing smile, he can do comedy, action and drama all at the same time. I am really looking forward to watch the next episodes!
