The Legend of the Blue Sea: A look back at why Jun Ji Hyun was the best dressed mermaid in K drama universe
We are taking a look back at Jun Ji Hyun’s impeccable style from 2016 fashion drama The Legend of the Blue Sea.
The Legend of the Blue Sea is one of those shows you love for the story, but also for its style and the visually appealing fashion you get to witness. The 2016 drama may be old but the fashion is still going strong and has left a mark on our minds. While the show’s ending left us sad to bid goodbye to the show, and though we will miss the mystical chemistry between Jun Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho and their otherworldly love story, but most of all, we have missed Korea’s best-dressed mermaid.
For the unversed, the series centres on the love story of Shim Cheong (Jun Ji-hyun), a mermaid, and Heo Joon-jae (Lee Min-ho), a witty con-artist. A mermaid in the Joseon era who falls in love with Dam-ryeong as a child after saving him, and is named as Se-hwa by Dam-ryeong after his late sister. As they are initially unable to stay together due to his arranged marriage and Se-hwa's inability to turn her tail into legs without reaching adulthood yet, she erases his memories. The two meet again and suffer a tragic fate together, beginning the first omen that will tie their reincarnations.
While the story’s magical mystique is enough to keep us hooked, the 35-year-old actress did a great job at keeping us hooked with her impeccable style. Her style in the fantasy drama featured her jumping from one designer outfit to another, be it labels like Dolce & Gabbana, Tom Ford, Miu Miu, or other luxury labels.
