I see Descendants and I see some sun this time, lol! The first official preview is here for upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Descendants of the Sun, written by famed screenwriter Kim Eun Seok and starring Song Joong Ki in his first drama since military discharge opposite Song Hye Kyo. The production was financed with tons of investor money and mostly filmed on location overseas in Greece, standing in for a fictional war torn and disaster ridden Eastern European country.
I’m repeating all this to explain how high profile this drama is, and how some are looking for it to fail while others are praying it can live up to the hype. I feel the latter but am girded for the former to occur, since hype is inevitably hard to match and because so far I feel nothing from leading lady Song Hye Kyo in all her scenes when she just looks blank and distant while Song Joong Ki emotes all around her. Even second leads Jin Goo and Kim Ji Won got my interest up more even in their one second glimpse in the preview. At least this time we see explosions, guns, disasters to avert, and medical skills put to the test rather than random flirting scenes.

OK, this looks so disappointing! I can see they've tried to make an Hollywood movie, but they've failed big times. I dont feel anything from SHK, she looks so bland and dull here. I almost wished Kim Ji Won was the leading lady.
how can you judge a drama before watching it ? let's wait and see...
I agree. The teaser's generally underwhelming. SHK is as boring as always. I will have to dig deep for my love for Song Joong Ki to motivate me to watch this. *sigh
On the other hand, Kim Woo Bin and Suzy their drama looks so much interesting! The first teaser is already out! And they've chemistry!
Where do you find the teaser for Kim woo bin and Suzy drama?
Just stop.

I can already tell that KWB and Suzy fans are going to be really insufferable and annoying about this drama, and it's not even airing until June.
It was literally a 10 sec teaser, how can you tell what the quality and chemistry will be like? LOL.
@NotThisAgain ,they were already annoying before those two worked together and they're even more annoying combined.
I watched the teaser and there's nothing to boost about ,just have to wait for a better quality one .but I'm guessing it's going to be
-high school lovers
- gets into accident
-memory most likely going to be lost
-fast forward years later
-they meet each other again ,and it's a love hate relationship
-they fall in love ,
FIN~
?
@StanSmith, LMAO.
upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama ? you mean KBS right :)
I didn't even notice Jin Goo the first time around and all I got from Kim Ji Won is that she's just like the other 95% of korean actresses that sport perfect heavy makeup even when it's not appropriate for the character, perfect "baby eyebrows" included, so I fail to see how much more interesting~ they are compared to SHK, at this point I just think it's a general dislike for her and her previous works. And I, for one, enjoyed the preview.
I enjoyed it too, it looks lyk an action drama haha. This place is lyk an SHK haters club omg hahaa
Hmmmm, Are they critiquing her acting skills or her personal life? So far, they're talking about her low quality or lack there of as far as acting.
Me feel the same -- for all the main actor and actress in this. Their make up and appearance just too perfect for someone who's in duty at warzone.
Can't the production team put some more natural make up on them? Little dirt and sunburn makeup won't hurt the already pretty face of them.
I'm going with the time honored adage, if you can't say anything nice....
This teaser brought my hopes up a lot!! But l guess anything can go up from Heirs with the terrible acting, terrible storyline, and terrible Engrish... The cinematography looks good here with the background music, and I seriously think I can stare at Song Joong Ki doing anything. His eyes, which are always emoting, just seem to draw me in effortlessly.
Okay so first of YAY for finally releasing a proper trailer instead of the boring part of the drama imho. I really don't care much for the love story. But I saw at least a little bit acting from SHK... it's mediocre and she has her moments where she can only look pretty but I have hopes. SJK is always intense but I don't see this drama as a huge challenge as he is playing a soldier. xD
Anyways... I think it will live up to its hype. Firstly of all it needs to because this drama cost way too much money to fail. And secondly even if it turns out to be a vanilla drama people will say it's brilliant and perfect. Hyped books aren't necessarily good books, hyped movies aren't necessarily good movies and same goes for tv shows aka k-dramas.
I will definitely check it out but I have no expectations other than KBS playing it save. :)
I enjoyed the preview and Love SJK and SHK can there be more praise and less hate in the New Year!!!
Wow, I can't believe how ppl were already judging SHK's acting by this a few seconds trailer. She has never been disappointed to me in any of her dramas or movies. Then I saw the comments here, it makes me wonder, have those ppl actually watched any of her previous works or just decided to blindly agree with Koala?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At least watch the drama first before you criticize someone's work. For me, I'm looking forward to this drama to start. It looks great.
i wonder here why a small portion people judge abouy skill acting og shk???did you evet watch all her drama???i doubt!!
cmon guys, ur watching first and the comment!!
u must be objective and not just becaouse of envy and jealousy ur not objective *sigh"
DOTS fighting!!!
song couple fighting!!!! huhuhuhu
