Even so, fans of Lee Min Ho and Jun Ji Hyun remain loyal to their idols and are excited to see where the show takes the phenomenal mermaid-conman love affair.

Those who have do not wish to read spoilers especially on The Legend Of The Blue Sea Episode 15 should look away now. Major plot details lie ahead.

During the most recent episode of the show, Heo Joon Jae (Lee Min Ho) finally reveals to Shim Cheong (Jun Jin Hyun) about his recently found ability to hear her thoughts. According to the Korean drama, a human will only be able to hear a mermaid’s “real voice” once he falls in love with her.

From the first time Joon Jae heard Shim Cheong’s thoughts, fans of The Legend Of The Blue Sea were treated to some light-hearted romance between the two as Joon Jae tries to express his feelings for Shim Cheong without actually telling her that he has fallen for her.

Now, Joon Jae finally tells Shim Cheong about hearing her real voice though he was triggered to do so because of disturbing thoughts that suddenly come to her mind.

He becomes curious as to why she suddenly thinks about death which is understandable after he learned about what happened to Kim Dam Ryeong and Se Hwa—their past selves.

Episode 14 also paved the way for Jo Nam-doo (Lee Hee-Joon) to discover Shim Cheong’s real identity as reported by the Inquisitr.

In the scene, he tells her to prevent Joon Jae from finding out who she really is, else she’ll lose him forever. Fortunately, Shim Cheong used her ability to erase certain memories from Nam Doo’s mind.

After learning that Joon Jae hears her real voice, Shim Cheong gets nervous and asks him when the exact moment he started hearing her thoughts, deliberately avoiding his query about why her mind is suddenly filled with ideas about her death.

At this point, The Legend Of The Blue Sea Episode 15 spoilers from the International Business Times reveal that this conflict might lead to Joon Jae and Shim Cheong parting ways.

According to the outlet, there are a lot of things that might get between Shim Cheong and Joon Jae including the mermaid’s growing fondness for Joon Jae’s step-brother Heo Chi-hyun (Lee Ji-Hoon) whom she somehow has come to trust.

In the The Legend Of The Blue Sea Episode 15 sneak peek at the end of Wednesday’s episode, fans are treated to scenes that show how Shim Cheong is trying to confirm something about where she and Joon Jae stands in a scene where she tells him, “There is something I need to ask you.” Could this be the end of the blossoming love story between a mermaid and a human?

Meanwhile, the 30-second teaser clip also revealed other exciting twists elsewhere in the show particularly on Joon Jae’s attempt to locate the serial killer, Ma Dae-young (Sung Dong-il) and his wife. With the aid of Tae-oh (Shin Wo-Ho) and the prosecutor, Joon Jae tries to locate the location of the only woman who got involved with the notorious criminal.

The clip also reveals that the most awaited reunion of Joon Jae and his mother who was working as the house maid of Ahn Jin-joo (Moon So-ri) will happen in The Legend Of The Blue Sea Episode 15.

A lot of exciting happenings await fans as The Legend Of The Blue Sea Episode 15 airs on January 5, Thursday at 10 p.m. KST.
