Jun Ji-Hyun, 35, is getting praise for more than just her acting skills. "The Legend of the Blue Sea" staff members complimented the actress for her considerate and friendly personality while filming the SBS drama.
Jun's act of kindness came to light when a staff from the SBS drama spilled the beans to All Kpop. The staff narrates Jun's benevolence when they were filming several scenes in Spain. It is said Jun stayed with the stunt actors until they completed filming the scene.
The scene being referred to showed the actress' character rolling off the staircase. She was also lauded for staying on site until all the stunt scenes were filmed, encouraging the actors on every step of the way and cheering them as soon as they finished everything.
What truly impressed the staff is that Jun never lost her bright smile even when she was filming a difficult underwater scene. When there are NG (No Good) takes, the veteran actress apparently remained lighthearted, making sure to keep the staff members at ease.
This is not the first time Jun was praised for her kind and warm personality. In 2014, a staff of "You Who Came from the Stars" lauded the actress for not showing that she was drained even though she was. It added, "Not only Jun is a good actress, but she also has the best personality."
Meanwhile, "The Legend of the Blue Sea" has continued to top viewership ratings ever since it premiered on Nov. 16. The third episode of the SBS drama, which aired on Nov. 23, Wednesday, had an average audience share of 19.6 percent.
The SBS drama is expected to gain higher ratings after the fourth episode. The next episode will feature Jun and Cha Tae-Hyun's, both of whom appeared on 2001's "My Sassy Girl," much-awaited reunion after 15 years, Soompi reported.
Not much is known about Cha's role, but he is expected to appear alongside Jun. The said cameo appearance of the actor is intended to show support to his former on-screen lover and screenwriter Park Ji-Eun, whom he had worked with in 2015's "The Producers."
Despite working together for the first time in 15 years, Cha and Jun still had an astounding on-screen chemistry. It is said that the Hallyu stars filmed their scenes in mid-November.
