One of the most anticipated K-dramas of 2016, "The Legend of the Blue Sea", finally aired last November 16 on SBS. While waiting to see the chemistry blooming between the leads, Jeon Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho, here are some tidbits of Ji Hyun's thoughts about her role in the series.
In a report by iTech Post, Ji Hyun happily shared her thoughts about her role in "The Legend of the Blue Sea". Ji Hyun will be playing the role of Sim Chung who is actually a mermaid and this actually made her somewhat nervous as mermaids are not really part of your usual K-drama.
Ji Hyun also shared that she is already aware of the expectations of fans and critics alike who are anticipating her performance in this series. She is already ready for the comparisons that might come along the way just in case some might compare her role as Sim Chung to her role in her previous worldwide hit "My Love from the Star" where she played the very sassy Cheon Song Yi. Ji Hyun further explained that the fans won't be disappointed as Sim Chung will be fun to watch as she discover new things in the world as a mermaid. "There's also a lot of underwater scenes to watch out," Ji Hyun further emphasized.
Speaking of underwater scenes, Ji Hyun also imparted some of her experiences on set during a press conference held last November 14 as reported by Soompi. She said that she actually never liked the idea of doing any acting that will involve fire, water, or any dangerous acts, but she was surprised to see her mermaid self on camera. Ji Hyun also thanked her athletic lifestyle since she's been doing workouts and even swimming which really helped in preparing herself as Sim Chung.
