Wowsers, everything about this upcoming drama, potential casting, and price tag potential screams new records to be set. There’s new updates on the next drama from screenwriter Park Ji Eun, her of the You From Another Star, Producer, and Queen of Housewives fame. YFAS remains her biggest hit drama to date and she managed to reunite with one lead already in Kim Soo Hyun when she brought him in to do Producer on KBS. Now she gets a chance to reunite with the other lead as Jeon Ji Hyun is in talks to do her next drama, tentatively called Legend of the Blue Sea.
Jeon Ji Hyun’s potential involvement is already known, as is the drama courting Lee Min Ho to be the male lead. It’s pretty amusing that the back-to-back hit SBS dramas Heirs and YFAS are going to mash up respective leads in this new pairing. It looks like Jeon Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho are basically confirmed as news broke that the two met with Park Ji Eun recently, and the drama has just received a purchase offer from a Chinese streaming portal that breaks all sale price records of $500,000 US dollars per episode.
I think Jeon Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho as a potential pairing makes sense from a financial perspective, and for their careers it’s not a bad idea to pick something safe and get more popularity while the iron is hot. I don’t know how their chemistry will be as Lee Min Ho is hit-or-miss for me depending on role and leading lady. I like Park Ji Eun’s writing a lot so this isn’t just putting two hugely popular stars together and calling it a day, there is real potential for a solid drama to emerge and that’s what I’m banking on if everything is confirmed soon. As for Korea, the drama will reunite Lee Min Ho with PD Jin Hyuk who directed him in City Hunter, as well as being broadcast on SBS, as expected.
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…

Yikes Lee Min Ho, his pink lipstick look from heirs still haunts me lol
I know, but that's not his fault. Makeup artist to blame.
They are confirmed now. With PD Jinhyuk also.
What were the PD's prior projects?
Brilliant Legacy, Prosecutor Princess, City Hunter, Master's Sun, Dr. Stranger
@smh. Thank you. That looks pretty solid a resume for a PD. Dr. Stranger was a mess. But all the other dramas were pretty decent or even brilliant! I'm really happy for LMH to take this project with top-notch leading lady, writer, and PD combined.
hahahaha
I hope this time the respons gonna be good,
I believe they capable of doing a lot of good thing
LMH - miss, JJH - hit or miss, PJE - hit or miss. That's for me. But drama would be wildly popular anyway. Good luck.
If only they were aired at the same time as Suzy and Kim Woo Bin. Throw in imaginary Shin Min Ai and Kim So Hyun drama to the mix.
That be one to look forward too.
The drama of dramas would be awesome.
Finally LMH got real actress who can really act. Earlier LMH alone make it hit specially drama like heirs and Bof.
1000+
Real actress means if he doesn't deliver it would spill disaster for him. At best he is a so-so actor.
Didn't he have a good female lead in faith though?
+1. His chemistry with Kim Hee Sun in Faith was the best among all his costars, imo.
+1000000. Totally agree!
lol
alone? looooool
LMH going to ride JJH. so he can get back his second spot in china.
lool. KSH fans suffer from Megalomaniac. When has shorty ever been first spot anywhere? KSH fans believing to much of the mediaplay keyeast is bombing and spamming out
I don't know about you, but Kim Soo Hyun is 180cm. He is definitly not a shorty (this comes from a LMH fan).
KSH fans suffer from megalomaniac? Lmfao. Such a typical stupid comment from a typical stupid minoz after all this time! Why keep bullshitting while you can never show the evidence of keyyeast's mediaplay? If u want a list of when this so-called shorty has ever been first spot, I will show you, hope this can shut your ass up once and for all.
LMH is a hallyu star and does not need to ride on jjh or any other person they are a team ..and he has always been on top since 2009 and not only in china but all over asia,his achievements speak for him(check weibo)not some china poll lol.
Lee Min Ho mostly remain unlucky to take burden of drama alone in past, where his lead actress ride on his fame. Happy finally he is able to divide burden equally. As alone he can make CH and heirs big so this drama surely gonna hit as it have both good actor and good actress who can really act.
But to me, it JJY is the one who can act....LMH?, I cringe each time I see his acting.
Anyway, I am sure this drama may be a hit in China, knowing how much they like LMH. Throw LMH in and all will be a success.
@liera, agree with you!
I think everyone has their own preference in an actor's style of acting, LMH in gangnam Blues proved to me that he wasn't just a pretty face and he is a solid actor about the same level as KSH and SJK.
I would also have to say He and JJH are on the same level of acting skills if I had to judge her only on her drama and movie with KSH (only two of her works I have seen). She oozes in charm and is decent but I would hardly call either of them great actors to a Jo In Sung or Yoo Ah In or Kim Hee Ae's or Kim Hyung Joo level
Some people will always try to hide the truth which is nothing else then LMH being phenomonenal actor. He connects massively and passionately with the viewers and fans. Thats all you need to know to judge
+1
+1 to bae. @Lolol..Were you comparing KSh, SJK, LMH, and JJH to JIS, YAI, KHA, or KHJ? I'm not sure from your English whom you're comparing with whom. For me, These actors/actresses all have their own styles, strengths,and also flaws. Basically, movie acting is different from drama acting due to different shooting focus and setting. I would not say the latter group outperform the former in general. To me, JIS and YAI both have tendency to overacting. And I cringed at some of Kim Hee Ae's on screen presence too. I'm mostly indifferent to KHJ. So, that's your personal opinions these 2nd group of actors are at higher levels. LOL..LOL.... Let's chill!
