Press Conference for Descendants of the Sun Premiering this Wed February 24th

I put the best picture first from the press conference for KBS drama Descendants of the Sun, because laughing Song Joong Ki makes everything better and it’s rare to see Song Hye Kyo so openly exuberant in place of her usual calm contentment. Sadly for the most part the entire press conference come off like a faculty luncheon introducing new tenured professors, briskly professional but devoid of much energy or chemistry. At this point I’m just going to say a Hail Mary and keep my fingers crossed, not much else left to do in wanting to see more from DotS promos and routinely underwhelmed. Second leads Kim Ji Won and Jin Goo are also evidencing the same collegiate safe space aura with each other, leaving only supporting actor Onew to be the life of this party and show off a frisson of liveliness. Writer Kim Eun Sook looks adorably happy so I’ll toss my lot with her, if she seems this excited about the show then maybe it’s really going to deliver, and by deliver I just need it to tell a story with sincerity acted out by a cast that sparks onscreen in whatever interaction is narratively needed.

  • I didn't know SHK was so short, I always imagined her to be on the taller side. Anyway, I'm exited for both this and "Come back, Mister" so I for sure will be checking both dramas! <3

  • I'm shocked you were able to find as many good pictures as you did from this press conference. I watched a few clips of the cast together at the press conference and I can't remember seeing a cast look that uncomfortable with each other. No chemistry between the leads. I'm trying to remain upbeat about this drama but the more I see the less hope I have that it is going to be good.

  • Song joong ki looks so hot in that suit! Everyone else is ok-ish, but i agree that they look uncomfortable together. Will have to see how the first episodes fare before committing to it..

  • It's good that we all set low expectation for this series. I rather have low expectation to enjoy the drama than high expectation to be disappointed. It's all about expectation so good job guys.

  • I hope they intentionally made it this awkward to cover up that SJK and SHK are dating (my own Delulu hopes) because if this the chemistry we will be seeing in the drama then I may start considering focusing more on rain's drama

  • They look uncomfortable with each other.. weird. They spent lots of time filming together and are like that? :o I mean I understand when they are starting to film, but here...

  • I'm scratching my head, puzzled. How did you tell there wasn't chemistry by just looking at press pictures? I can't really tell from static pics. Unless you've already had that bias in your head. In psychology, there's certain mentality that causes you to see things you expect to see. LOL.

    • Lmfaoooo, I mostly see people who have a strong bias against the leading man ,and not very fond of the female lead ,ALWAYS say they don't have chemistry, or that they look like brother and sister ?
