Legend of the Blue Sea had just aired its first episode on November 16 and from the first episode alone, you could tell the show is going to be a hit. The new show starring Jun Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho had built up incredible anticipation before its airing and truly, it looks like the show is going to live up to the hype.

According to an article posted by TODAY, here are some reasons why you should start watching the show now.

1.       One of the most important reasons why you should watch Legend of the Blue Sea is the fact that Jun Ji Hyun plays a mermaid here. Because of that, you can expect to see a lot of scenes involving Jun in a, well... BIKINI! What could be a better reason to watch the show than seeing Jun flaunting her gorgeous body?

2.       Legend of the Blue Sea used a number of filming locations which would include Palau and Spain. Everyone knows how beautiful Palau and Spain are and if you dream about travelling to these places one day but still don't have the means, why not experience the beauty of these places from your screens, right?

3.       Everyone knows that when a show becomes a hit, their stars are plunged into constant media attention. When that happens, everything about them gets noticed, from the makeup they are wearing to the hairstyle they are sporting. Almost everyone would want to make a trend out of these stars and you definitely don't want to miss out.

4.       Jun had just given birth to a bouncing baby boy last February so this will be her first role post pregnancy. This is also the first role she will star in after her ever popular hit TV series My Love from the Star. This will also be Lee Min Ho's first television role after The Heirs and may also be his last TV series before he enlists for the military next year.

5.       Is it not a good reason enough just to see the god-like faces of Lee Min Ho and Jun Ji Hyun two days a week?

According to report published by Allkpop, the first episode of Legend of the Blue Sea had broken the record set by Descendants of the Sun in terms of viewer ratings. It should be remembered that the phenomenal Descendants of the Sun had swept across Asia and became quite the hit. It is expected that Legend of the Blue Sea will do the same, if not more, so that in itself is good enough reason to watch the show.

Legend of the Blue Sea follows the story of the last mermaid on earth, played by Jun, as she adjusts to life on land and gets entangled with a cunning conman played by Lee.
