Heirs writer jumps broadcasters with new drama Descended From the Sun
by javabeans
The next project for star writer Kim Eun-sook is titled Descended From the Sun, which we heard about earlier this year when it was first being planned. Now the drama is in talks to bring onboard director Lee Eung-bok, which would give us the writer for Heirs teaming with the PD of Secret.
The drama is about a man and a woman working for Doctors Without Borders, who bond gradually as they save lives in disaster zones and end up falling in love. The production reportedly has offers out to several top actors, and as Kim’s projects tends to attract particularly high-profile cast members, expect a lot of buzz on this front.
Interestingly, the drama has been snapped up by KBS and is currently in talks over scheduling. Kim Eun-sook has turned out one hit drama after another over the years, many in collaboration with the same PD, Shin Woo-chul… and every single one of them has been for SBS. (See: Lovers in Paris, Lovers in Prague, On Air, Secret Garden, A Gentleman’s Dignity, Heirs.) Apparently SBS had been in talks to take Descended From the Sun as well, but it appears to have lost out. (Note: Some articles are hedging and stating that writer Kim’s move to KBS is probable but not certain, while others speak of it as a done deal.)
In any case, there’s some curiosity as to why Kim Eun-sook has chosen to work with a new PD partner and broadcaster, and SBS has to be feeling upset right about now. Kim’s dramas often not only are popular, they tend to also become pop-culture sensations, netting buzz outside of the drama world. It takes a certain kind of magic to make that happen consistently — even if that magic sometimes has you rolling your eyes or grinding your teeth in frustration.
Descended From the Sun will incorporate a fair number of location shoots and is thus entering pre-production early; it’s looking at a May 2015 broadcast for (probably) KBS.

So KBS2 & the Director of School2013... Come on, I just know Kim Woo Bin will be in this!
As a big fan of this writer, I'm glad she ditched SBS: I don't know why but they became control freaks with her recent dramas (writing & casting & airing policy) & it annoyed me greatly. Anyway, SBS must have done a big blunder... A fresh new start on another channel is what we all need to erase Heirs from our collective minds. I'm rooting for you Ma'am & impatiently waiting for this show!

All articles I saw so far have said they are looking for a 30something leading man.....so Kim Woo Bin is not likely to be the lead (some dc gallery said that So Ji Sub and Moon Chae Won are being courted for leads)

There could be a big chance that they will court Moon Chae Won..Maybe a month ago there was an article,it says that it rumored that Moon Chae Won is no.1 now in drama casting candidate and the three main stations are sending their main dramas scripts to her that up for early 2015 and if i'm not wrong MSTeam (Moon Chae Won's agency) is affiliated to Barunson Entertainment that one that will co-produce this drama..

If her agency is a co-founder, so no more guessing game, Moon Chae Woon is the lead actress. Just like SM Ent, they only choose their stars, if they funded the project.

Actually, MS Team and Barunson are the same. It just changed its name to MS Team for its management company 2 years ago..because they wanted to changed some of their marketing strategies.

MCW's name has been linked since months ago but she isn't the only one. Son Ye Jin was the top candidate. And it is possible that they will pick someone outside of the company.

Funny how people like to rat me here for things I say elsewhere: So brave & mature... Want to prove your loyalty here? Need the back up of the other readers maybe? On a side note, if someone I was following said things I would disagree with or that I couldn't handle, I would unfollow, or simply defend my POV ON THE SAME SOCIAL MEDIA. Btw, I sometimes criticize Koala's place too on twitter (free speech & all that): You might tell her in case she didn't see this.

Was LJS the right age to play a thoracic surgeon in Doctor Stranger? And LMH in Heirs as a HS student: Right age? YSH in I MissYou: Right age? KHJ in IOTL: 34 yo & cast as a 1st year fellowship psychiatry doctor: Right age? Age on their ID is rarely a factor when you cast an actor in Dramaland, just saying. Disponibility, status, connections & if we are lucky

The casting is specifically looking for a 30 something old actor. That's what has been on the articles.

I personally think if you're gonna post something on social media then you shouldn't get all upset when someone mentions your opinions or puts you on blast on other blogs, and then have your twitter friends come and try to back you up. People need to own up to what they say on social media instead of hiding behind their computers or changing usernames. If the situation was too humiliating then i understand the name change. If you had nothing to hide on twitter then you should have nothing to hide on DB is my opinion. This is the kind of scenario where "social etiquette" would be a weak argument -- In my own opinion i disagreed when people were trying to defend you by saying that what was said on one blog should be addressed on that blog and not discussed on other blogs. Forgive me but that kind of belief just seems naive because social media is a system -- a network. Controversy will be discussed, linked, and compared time and time again over a variety of different social media outlets.
The whole " stop ratting me out " is something I personally find immature myself. It's akin to little kids or teenagers fighting and then going to their parents or teachers. Except, worst, because you've aired your dirty laundry for thousands of people to read but you're getting upset when word gets around. It's like talking smack about a teacher on facebook and then getting in trouble when a student alerts the teacher. You have to have more sense then that because it's a cruel world we live in. And if it was a mistake, learn from it. If you choose to speak your opinions despite that (which i think anyone should), then don't get angry when it creates controversy.
I think it's a bit hypocritical to be saying others need to be more mature when you aren't particularly handling the situation with the kind of maturity you could. Ignore the people who bring it up and just move on with it.
Not saying that the person who "ratted you out" was any better since they seem to be following your twitter and embarrassing you here, but this drama needs to stop. This is just my 2 cents. Sorry for being off topic but #rantover.

Seriously people, post your own comments, stay on topic and stop being sasaengs: If the opinions of a complete stranger are that important for you, you might want to reevaluate your priorities. Basically, get a life.
linda24
October 27, 2014 at 4:09 PM
Huh, Sasaengs? Sorry but i'm lost. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions which you seem to take alot of pride in. Trying to dismiss what others have to say and instead implying others are being irrational with undevoted "loyalty" doesn't reflect well on you either 'cause now you're just accusing people to protect your pride. Others are the crazy, I am not. I formulated my opinions based on your actions but your baseless accusation thinking everyone that isn't in your favor is trying to prove "loyalty" to a site is somewhat ridiculous. Not everyone that voices against you is a DB diehard, if that's what you're trying to imply. If people call you out on it then maybe you should reflect on it instead of assuming everyone's a "sasaeng" whatever that means in this situation.
The fact that what i said completely went over your head and you labeled me as crazy shows how much respect you have over "entitlement to opinion' when it's not your own.
Also, "If the opinions of a complete stranger are that important for you, you might want to reevaluate your priorities." You should perhaps take your own words into consideration the next time a stranger voices their opinions about you because the way I see it you got defensive first when you could have just looked the other way and avoided this all together.

LOL I find it slightly ironic that she'll be collaborating with the PD of Secret given it was the drama that killed Heirs in ratings. It was only after Secret ended that Heirs really shot up to the higher teens.
I wonder why the switch happened. Maybe it's some budgeting or time-slot issue. I expect some huge names to come out of this one though, not the usual suspects being thrown about but a really legitimate big name from possibly the movie industry. If Han Hyo-joo didn't get herself in trouble, I really expected her to be courted. Who knows, maybe she is. It's gonna be fun to see who they go with in the end.

To be honest, I don't really like this writer and foreign shoots in Korean dramas usually make me cringe so I am wary of this drama. Hopefully the writing will be sensitive to the country they shoot in and they manage to get some decent foreign actors.
And pleeeeeeze don't make the male lead an overbearing jerk who keeps arrogantly wrist-grabbing/ordering the female lead because he wants to "protect" her.

Secret Garden was addictive but still nonsense. If I hadn't watched at the very beginning of my drama watching times, I'm sure I would never have finished it!
Don't like her chaebol hero jerks, nor her bizarre damsels in distress, nor the supposedly romantic (utterly creepy!) relationships between them.

This is why I dropped Secret Garden. (I almost made it to the end too.) I liked HJW's character initially but I got turned off that she was almost thirty and acting like a helpless naive teenager. And their love or feelings or whatever seemed to halt whenever they switched bodies. Shouldn't there have been some consistency?

I have a love/hate feeling for Kim Eun-sook's writing. I hated Secret Garden, so I didn't even finish it. I loved A Gentleman's Dignity and have since watched it twice. Heirs I only followed the recaps, because I just can't bring myself to watch episode one with the bad American actors. BUT, I did like the show okay. I didn't love it, it had a lot of problems, but it had a lot of actors I like, so, yeah. Kim Woo-bin's character, for one, I loved. Maybe because it was KWB playing him, but I did and still do think there was so much more that could have been done with his character, so now it feels wasted. But I loved him.
This new drama is hit or miss for me. It's not normally something I would watch and I probably will only follow recaps (if it's recapped) and watch episode one. But, I make no promises to myself to watch it, because most likely I won't.

October 28, 2014 at 9:34 AM
Yes!! Love-hate is how I feel. She does the "head" stuff well, just not the "heart" stuff. On the "head" side, her scripts are funny, which is why nearly all the scenes of F41 in A Gentleman's Dignity are good. That's probably why I loved AGD originally. Only in rewatching did I realize how much the central romance irritates me. But Kim Eun-Sook got me to watch the whole thing anyway.
Same goes for Heirs, my love-hate K-drama. It commits all the worst sins of K-dramas and the romance is poorly done. But the secondary characters were great and the script had this snarky, sarcastic sense of humor. Pointed humor doesn't show up in K-dramas much and I found it cheeky.
Often the humor in Heirs was buried under the PD's choices in music and editing, which were pure melo. In the end, I couldn't figure out what tone the show was going for. I think Kim Eun-Sook and the PD were battling it out. But like you with AGD, I've watched it twice. Mainly to catch the fast dialogue again (and to enjoy the mostly strong cast). I wonder if Kim Eun-Sook's move will give her a chance to build on her strengths with a PD who appreciates that she's better with the head stuff than the heart stuff?

To be honest even if I did not like the Heirs because of Tan & Eunsang character, I will still give this drama a shot because I love her past dramas such as Secret Garden, Lovers in Paris, Gentleman's Dignity, and City Hall. I heard she gave up on Heirs and let her protégés and writers under her continue writing it so might be the reasons why I did not like it. And beside Hong sisters gave out a good drama Master Sun after making one of the worse drama I've ever watch BIG. So this might be good. I hope it's like City Hall.

In all fairness I've had high hopes for Nodame k-version. That's Joo Won there, and that's the Nodame franchise I've liked for years! I'm wondering where the mess came from! Still following it, but I'm dragging myself to finish the entire thing. Liar Game won me with tears and blood. Because of my definite love for the j-version, I was biased with the k-version. But here I am now, pioneering its (k-version) greatness to my friends who are also fans of the j-version!
I'm also happy, real legit genuinely happy, for Kim Eun-sook's move to KBS. I'm not a fan of Kim Eun-sook, per se, since she wrote too much unnecessary kiss scenes since Secret Garden until present. Sigh. She did not do that with Lovers in Paris until On Air (and I was a very huge fan of hers), but I quite admit she has a number of followers. So, looking forward for this KBS broadcast! Go, KBS, go! Rooting for KBS this time!

I just finished TC ep 6 with no sub, and I don't think I will bother to find sub to watch it again. The show lacks its focus on main characters, instead, producing some more abundant ones. It's getting more frustrating to see their acting, both leading and supporting. I fail to enjoy it the korean way.
Not a fan of KES either. With her history of chaebol-cinderella rom-com, I wonder what her descendants of the sun will look like. Love story between A doctor from a chaebol family and a female doctor from a poor family, maybe.

I've always liked Kim Eun-sook to write dramas for Kim Myung-min pairing up with Kim Tae-hee / Song Hye-kyo. Before I die, I'd like to witness that! To each his own.

LMJ is not a good enough actress to play a role like this. KES will definitely choose veteran actors. Goong Yoo and Ha ji won please!! or my dream cast KDW and Ha ji won :)

Boo to KBS! For the past two days, the dramas they've been posting on youtube -- the little preview thingy, where you move the counter, and a little tiny preview goes along, showing you what's happening at each minute, doesn't work!
So typical for them! I'm so sick of KBS!

This is a BIG budget production and KES is about rating = $$$ and who will pay the highest oversea. The main actor and actress would have to be in the Hullyu Star category.
Ji-Seob So is in the Hullyu Star category and just release a new song this year. There would be a possibility he will get the role.
Gong Yoo would be perfect for the role because he will be wrapping up a movie on something regarding a man and a woman falling in a forbidden love in Finland. He is well known oversea for he’s humanitarian work. If the rating sky rocking for this movie, he would be perfect!!!
Han Ji Won is known for her humanitarian work oversea and also in the Hullyu Star category. She just wrap up a movie call Chronicle of a Blood Merchant. If the rating sky rocking, she might get the role.
Moon Chae Won is not in the Hullyu start category but have play a role as a Doctor before. She will be wrapping up a movie with Lee Seung-gi. If the rating is sky rocking, she might get the role
Park Shin Hye is known for her humanitarian work and have a very strong base oversea. She is in the Hullyu Star category. She just finished the movie The Royal Tailor due beginning 2015 and she currently working on Pinocchio. If her rating sky rocking for both her movie and drama, she might be offer the role (I think). She is known for taking low budget project and turn it into a mega hit.
