The Legend of the Blue Sea


Sim-chung (Jun Ji-hyun) falls in love with the memory of a man who helped set her free.

The Legend of the Blue Sea follows two storylines, one in modern times and one in the Joseon era. Sometime during August 1598, newly appointed governor Dam-ryung (Lee Min-Ho) stays overnight at an inn run by Mr. Yang (Sung Dong-il).

During that evening, Mr. Yang shows Dam Ryung a captured mermaid named Sim-chung (Jun Ji-hyun). Later that night, Dam-ryung releases her into the ocean and, before she swims away, Sim-chung reaches out her hand to Dam-ryung which he briefly holds.

In the present day, Joon-jae (Lee Min-Ho) is a smooth-talking con man with magician-like abilities. He works with Nam-doo (Lee Hee-Jun) and Tae-O (Shin Won-ho). For their next score, Joon-jae impersonates a prosecutor and swindles a large amount of money from a wealthy suspect's mother.

Joon-Jae then travels abroad and stays at an oceanside resort. Meanwhile, Sim-chung is swept up in a tidal wave and washed ashore near the oceanside resort. She sees Joon-jae and is reminded of Dam-ryung.
