Descendants of the Sun (Korean: 태양의 후예; RR: Taeyangui Huye) is an upcoming South Korean television series to be aired on KBS2 in 2016, starring Song Joong-ki, Song Hye-kyo, Kim Ji-won and Jin Goo.[1][2][3][4][5]

Plot

UN peacekeeping troops are dispatched to the war-torn country of Uruk.[6] Captain Yoo Shi-jin, team leader of the Special Warfare Command unit, meets Kang Mo-yeon, a volunteer doctor with Doctors Without Borders. As they work alongside each other in disaster- and disease-stricken zones, Shi-jin and Mo-yeon clash then fall in love.

Cast

Production

Descendants of the Sun was fully pre-produced before airing which is a departure from the live-shoot production format that characterizes most Korean dramas.[13] The drama is Song Joong-ki's comeback project after serving his two years in the military.[14]

On June 12, 2015, lead actors Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo filmed their first scene in Seoul.[15] On September 28, 2015, the entire cast and crew (including the two leads as well as supporting actors Jin Goo, Kim Ji-won, Kang Shin-il and Onew) departed for Greece.[16] The team will reside in the country for approximately a month to shoot the episodes crucial to the drama's plot.[17][18] According to some Greek news portals and blogs, filming has mainly taken place in Zakynthos, Arachova and Lemnos.[19]

On November 25, 2015, it was relayed that actor Song Joong-ki injured his arm while filming an action scene for the drama on November 23. Two days later, his agency made an update on the actor's condition. Upon closer examination, doctors determined Song also suffered a damaged ligament to his right knee in addition to the fractures in his arm. But filming continued with other actors and scenes that did not require Song's presence. On December 7, 2015, Song Joong-ki returned to work only 2 weeks after he was injured and spotted filming at a station in Seoul.[20][21][22]

According to industry insiders, the crew wrapped up the last shoot in the early morning of December 30, 2015.[23]

International broadcast

  • Singapore In Singapore, the drama will be available to stream on Viu with English and Chinese subtitles. Each episode will be available to stream eight hours after the original Korean broadcast.[24]
