In a drama as big-budget and sprawling upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Descendants of the Sun, there will surely be more than one big story line, and likely won’t rely on the leads romance or narrative to solely hold the audience’s attention. I remember being way more into the side stories in Heirs rather quickly in, and the main romance became the filler for me. That means second leads Kim Ji Won and Jin Goo have the potential to win fan hearts if they play interesting characters, deliver solid performances, and have palpable chemistry with each other in their romance.
There are new stills with them in their peacekeeper soldier uniforms, and Jin Goo certainly looks the part in a way that male lead Song Joong Ki just doesn’t on a visual glance. Kim Ji Won is a bit like a little girl playing dress up, but I like her enough to think she has a shot at working it if she tones down the tendency to overact by glaring. At least she doesn’t read her dialogue in a monosyllabic dead like Song Hye Kyo has been doing in her DotS teaser so far.

Hope Jin Goo won't play some underdog character this time. He is too likable!
I adore Kim Ji Won but wow does she look out of place here! She looks like a 13-year-old wearing a costume. Particularly next to the other actors.
They should have styled her better to make her look older. I don't doubt her acting skills but her image is certainly jarring.
Yes, short hair on older women might make them look older, but short hair on a girl who's in her early twenties will just make her look like a teen. Nevertheless, if that famous and respected writer (in Korea at least) trusted her abilities enough to cast her in 2 consecutive dramas, then my guess is the girl has what it takes to pull it off and maybe even shine brighter than the main actress. After all, the korean public seemed more interested in the second leads teaser than the main 2 ones judging by the nr of views those videos have. We'll see how things work when the drama airs. Will the protagonists win the audience's interest or will the other 2 gain their attention, just like it happened in the Heirs with KWB's character?
You think that the Korean public is more interested in JG-KJW than SHG-SJK based on views? LMAO...k.
Also, KES likes KJW enough to cast her in her drama, but apparently not enough because she's stilllll the perpetual second lead. So, I guess people can look forward to her 10 minutes of screen time per episode.
Watch it turn out to be a huge love square story line.
I can now confirm that you are the leader in the SHK-hater group, Koala. That doesn't mean you don't have right to hate someone. You have every right to hate someone and you are doing exactly just that towards SHK. A very strong, clear and consistent hatred.
Well, SHK acting looks to be the same from TWTWB and she was portraying a blind person. So her acting is kind of blah and that's not hating that's "personal opinion" which some (me) agree. Do I hope in the drama it get better? HELL YEAH!!
Do I think it's going to happen? PROBABLY NOT!
Truly rme at the cringe dialogue in that scene, and the faux military-lite concept. But it's a k-drama, so I'm not necessarily looking for quality. The actress playing the second lead looks totally out of place, they should have gotten someone at least a couple years older for the role, but she's a second lead so no one will care.
As for SHG, KES female leads are almost always used as props to help propel the main lead in her dramas and given nothing to work with, so we'll see.
Haha.. Yes. . I have to agree. koala really does seem to dislike SHK ..judging SHK's acting based merely on a few short trailers that are shown out of context
I can't wait for this drama to air!!!!!
It's not a surprise to me that Koala says negatively about SHG. This is her blog. She has the right to complain and hate anyone she would like to hate. So for those who like SHG: you either leave her blog or accept that you will see more of her bashing here.
Koala , i am really surprised how dark is your heart to have all this hatred towards some one ...i can see no place for love or light in it sorry but thats how i feel even when they say you have the right to give your opinion but thats not opinion thats obvious hatred ....I may dislike an actres and dont like her acting ....But i also can see her cute in some times....can see her performance great and praise her acting sometimes ....Not like your consistent hatred Every actor or actress has strong points and weak points no one is perfect
sorry But you make me regret every time I push myself to see your words But i promise you i Dont want to see these dark words who hide deep hatred behind anymore
KES's female lead suck... It's not the actresses's fault ( people still hate PSH for Heirs even afer Pinocchio)
But this is Koala's blog so she can write her own opinion
Let's see if KJW would be able to shine here since her usual 2nd female leads are always more interesting
