Be honest, nowadays I watch korean dramas based on the storyline rather than the actors. So I guess I will decide to watch at least after teaser released. Some of big names don't guarantee the story will be good though.

Song Joong Ki is a fantastic actor, so I'm sure whatever role he's given he'll make it work. Song Hye Kyo had a turnaround with her last drama, so I think she'll be fine. I'm iffy on Song Joong Ki accepting this drama because he deserves to come back with a well-written project. I'd love to see him play a meaty character, but I don't have faith in this writer to go anywhere beyond the popular tropes and surface level characterizations she's been writing.

I can understand why both of them would want to take on this project though. It's almost a guaranteed success/ratings hit.

Ha the retitled version is something I'd would have liked to see. The storyline to me now is a little ambiguous and I'm not sure how it will end up as an appealing drama for the masses

I actually can see them as a couple.. Song Couple!
They would make visually gorgeous couple :)

Oh, I'd love to see BOTH actors in drama, God knows Song Joong Ki been away long for too long. But the writer. *sigh *cry*

I liked Secret Garden, but that was before 3 years of k drama watching, which changes things.

Their aim is to sell China market easily with experience price. The hit writer already had proved many hit dramas. I believe it will not be miss. But for China market, they need the hottest male actors like LMH,KSH, and LJS . Don't get me wrong. I don't say SJK can't. SHK is okay. For SJK, he hasn't proved himself as a rating king and one of the most popular hallyu stars. KBS is failing these days. So they are trying to work with producers with KSH and this one also.

At first I was wondering how they were going to simultaneously air in Korea and China with SARFT's new regulations, but then I remembered this is being all preproduced. I hope on that aspect that it's successful, so we can maybe see more quality and hopefully nicer working conditions for our while crews!

I never really thought about the pairing and it could work, but they have different auras. And I was hoping this wouldn't be a noona romance.

If it were Kang Dong-won instead of Song Joong-ki, that could work better, but SJK is basically confirmed for this. And KDW may never return to dramaland. (I don't blame him)

I love both actors, and you can't really say they won't suit each other yet. If SHK confirms, I'll look forward to teasers for the drama, and give it a fair watch when it airs. I hope it works out for both of them.

I like her but she just had a tax evasion scandal so I don't think many netizens will be happy to see her return. I don't know if this will happen, but even if it does, I don't see her with song joong ki.

Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki.. I like them both but I'm not really feeling it.

For me, Song Hye Kyo is like Gong Hyo Jin and Im soo Jung, their acting is too exclusive to actors around their age (i.e Rain, Jo In Sung).. so it's hard to picture them acting with a much younger actors like Lee Min Ho and Kim Soo Hyun.

Ha Ji Won and Shin Min Ah are the example of actress than can pretty much act with actors at any age..

I like both actors but for some reason KES's writing always rubs me the wrong way. Mostly because the female lead is dumb or bland and male lead is usually an arrogant jerk.
I want to look forward to this for SJK but kind of want to see him with another writer.

I agree that it's hard to imagine them together. I really like each if them separately though but I agree that they have different vibes. However I also know that chemistry is really unpredictable so I'd still give them a shot. Fir me the casting is the only intriguing part so far.

well maybe the fact that KES movied from SBS to KBS and this couple have a completely different vibe from her previous ones, a signal that she is willing to move from her previous boring formula and trying to do something new to herself.

This pairing sounds so odd and awkward I suddenly lost interest. I love SHK and like SJH enough individually. But them as a couple - so much no. Wish they'd either go for a younger actress or an older actor - so many options!

Noona romances are getting really old for me. There's just way too many in dramaland.

SongSong couple :D

I read that his character is older than hers, so technically it won't be a noona romance. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to buy that if these two are cast. SHK is only four years older than SJK, but she seems much older to me. They're both insanely pretty and young-looking, but her vibe is of someone much older (IMO). But military service has likely made SJK a little rougher around the edges, and he isn't quite as baby-faced anymore, so maybe it could work. Regardless of who's cast, let's just hope that it's better than Heirs.

I'm the only one that prefer Song Joong Ki and Moon Chae Won reunion? I like SHG and I love SJK. But I dont't like them as a couple.

Wow daebak, if thats happens , Song Joong Ki meet Song Hye Kyo, really awesome , Cant wait my two favorite actors in dramaland... :-)

I still like the sound of this plot, I love both actors and would be excited to see them in a drama together, but I can't with this writer. Heirs looked like a trainwreck from the get-go, and Secret Garden just didn't do it for me. I didn't get the buzz with both of them. It sounds like she's trying to do something new, so fingers-crossed! :)

This is not a noona romance and I'm sure, like most dramas, the usual crowd of So Ji Sub, Go Soo, Lee Joon Ki, et al were approached and turned it down.

I wish he wouldn´t do this, I hate the writer.

The only thing I´ve ever watched Song Hye Gyo in was Autumn in my Heart, lol. I hope she improved since then, cause her acting bored me to tears and I´ve avoided her ever since.

SHK is a very boring actress. i dont know whether it is her acting or her character, but i always fall sleep when watching her, except FH

The writer, Kim Eun-sook, is reason alone to not watch.

Song Jong Ki - YES! Song Hye Kyo - No, please, NO!
Wish they would run it by Shin Min Ah.

Countries around the world......it will be interesting to see what random product placements will help fund the project. (I still laugh about the almonds being the first thing people think about California. Ahhhh heirs.....). I would feel less inclined to watch simply because the actors from other countries that have been on the dramas I have watched kind of make me cringe (King 2 Hearts anyone?).

Ugh. I love them both....but I'm sorry, I am just really tired of noona romances already -____-

"The only way this drama could cast for more appeal in the Chinese market is to get Kim Soo-hyun instead. Maybe in a threesome with Lee Min-ho and retitled Descended From You From Another Sun."

HAHAHAHAHAHA.....so true though.

I like Song Joong Ki and LOVE Song Hye Kyo (mainly because I think she's gorgeous and she's my girl crush so sorry, I'm shallow like that at times). However, I'm not so sure about this pairing. I just can't see them together at this point. Can't they cast an older actor? I want to see SHK in another drama so I'd rather they switch actors than switch the female lead. Gong Yoo has a similar look to Song Joong Ki but an older version so I think he'd be good but, then again, I want him to be in that ITWY remake with Ha Ji Won so...

I'm also not thrilled about the writer being the one who did Heirs but I liked A Gentleman's Dignity and thought Secret Garden was not bad so I'm willing to overlook that misstep. If they do end up casting both Songs, I'm hoping they'll surprise us and make it work somehow. I'm willing to give this drama a shot for the actors alone. :P

If she say yes ....
I mean she is big actress and one of the Top Korean actress I don't understand why are the people are too judgemental .
SHG isn't easy to get her to small screen any way .
I am not interested in KES writing and I feel she adds nothing to the actor's or actress 's ability or show something new in their acting .

SJK with his look and acting and a trendy romance will help him easily to put his legs into china popularity. But a threesom with KSH and LMH? Lol. No way. At least, KSH and LMH would never ever be in the same project of any kinds.

Oh my god, that Kim Soo-hyun Descended From You From Another Sun joke....hahahahaha!!! Pleassseeeee

Pretty pairing but a bit off. Still would watch this for wolf boy. I miss him a lot.

What are the viewers' opinions in here? Most not seeing the opinion but most.....HATERS! It's okay, keep it!
Honestly, could understanding Descendant Of The Sun's lead actor and actress receive many negative comments because both of them having PERFECT PACKAGE:
1-natural beautiful/handsome
2-talent: good acting
3-charistma
Some actors/actresses having 1 but not 2 and 3.
Some actors/actresses having 2 but not 1 and 3.
Some actors/actresses having 3 but not 1 and 2.
And MOST of negative comments that come from other celebrities' FANS!
Descendant Of The Sun will be HIT.....BLOCKBUSTER drama of the year! Because trust about lead actor and lead actress' talent, 2SONG.

@phoqh, whoaaa your post is the last one after I read so many pro-cons above, and bammm you're right, your provision coming true

man, seeing these comments, especially the negative ones, after DotS makes me laugh out loud. average rating of 38.8%. take that, u kids who said the pairing wont work.
