Jeon Ji Hyun is a Mermaid Out of Water Swimming into Lee Min Ho’s Heart in 4th Preview for Legend of the Blue Sea

Whatever screenwriter has Park Ji Eun has in store for her second fantasy themed K-drama Legend of the Blue Sea, it will certainly involve lots and lots of active acting from leading lady Jeon Ji Hyun. I thought she was the heart and soul of alien-movie star romance drama You From Another Star but she did merit some get some critique for slightly overacting even if her character called for it. It appears the same is being called up here as the 4th preview for the drama shows her mermaid Shim Chung in her own comedy titled fish out of water foreigner acts weird. I don’t mind watching Jeon Ji Hyun ham it up if the role calls for it, but there are shades of her YFAS character here and that is slightly frustrating because it feels like she’s being typecast. At least Lee Min Ho shows zero shades of his Heirs character, so I’ll just be content watching them bike off prettily through the streets of Spain.

  • So I wasn't the only one who felt there were similarities with her character, but I do have to point out her eyes are much softer here, which is a small but significant difference.

    The scenery though is so beautiful.

  • I also noted the similarity between her character here and in YFAS. The first teaser was intriguing because of the melancholy feel but I lose interest after watching the second one because of the similarity. JJH is captivating in YFAS but to be watching her in role with similar vibe is somewhat tiring. The drama will do well I believe based on their starpower and the writer as well as PD are a pretty solid team. I will check once it is halfway of its run.

    • dull???? they have the most unique promotional strategy. Asking fans to create a poster for drama, releasing BTS pics, videos. Making a fake magazine. ANd you call that a dull promotions. please

      • You can do all that and still be dull. HD visuals doesn't equal innovative.

        The fake mag didn't leap out at all btw - the effort to stuff with the pretty is painful to see.

  • I think she's definitely different from MLFTS character as she has to adapt to human life and not arrogant as her MLFTS character or ambitions which is different and you can kind of sense that she is truly different despite being funny. Just because she is also funny here dosen't mean the same. Even her look and style is totally different.

    LMH comes off extremely different from character to character usually.. look wise, vibes and everything. People who don't know him by name thing his different guys in his different characters

    • The character is different but the vibe is quite similar-feisty and sassy. She is a good actress but I find her typecasted in this type pf role. She took on more diversified roles in movies, though.

    • This. I had my expectations grounded and not to careless and I wanted to pass this despite all the hype but I'm completely dumbfounded. The cinematography is out of this world and the scenery is breathtaking. a large budget is written allover
