The names Jun Ji-hyun and Lee Min-ho alone make everyone intense.

The SBS drama "The Legend of the Blue Sea" written by Park Ji-eun is featured by Lee Min-ho and Jun Ji-hyun. Other broadcasting stations which need to compete with them are on alert.

KBS is concerned about the drama that will compete with "The Legend of the Blue Sea". Initially it decided on sending out "Chief Kim" in November but plans changed to "My Fair Lady - 2016" recently. "My Fair Lady - 2016" won the miniseries contest in July and is being produced by SM C&C. This decision was followed by difficulties in casting for "Chief Kim".

"The Legend of the Blue Sea" is highly anticipated because of the two actors' stardom and the writer's ability to write a good story.

Meanwhile, MBC quickly decided on "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo".

Sources say as soon as "The Legend of the Blue Sea" was decided, all broadcasting stations named the time frame 'death'. The level of competition is causing producers to avoid that time frame.
