RANK MAGAZINE presents The New Frontiers with the men of #DescendantsOfTheSunPH At the onset of the year, @gmanetwork's bold attempt to recreate an iconic South Korean drama, #DescendantsOfTheSunPH, was met with excitement and hype, as well as inevitable doubt and jeers from fans of the original it lifts its adaptation from. Headlined by top, multi-awarded actors Dingdong Dantes and Jennylyn Mercado, the show has since enlisted the acting prowess of the likes of Andre Paras and Jasmine Curtis-Smith along with a roster of established and upcoming leading men raring to bring a Filipino flavor to a beloved modern classic--triumphing with positive viewer reception and critical acclaim, most recent of which was the award for the Most Popular Foreign Drama of the Year at the Seoul International Drama Awards. As filming and production of the well-received adaptation resumes, we present The Hot Damn! Issue with #RoccoNacino @nacinorocco, #PaulSalas @paulandre.salas, #NeilSese @neilsese, #LuchoAyala @luchoayala_, #JonLucas @lucas_aljhon, and #PrinceClemente @princeclemente18, in a special cover shot three days before the government-imposed community quarantine. Now, more than ever, these generations of leading men are boldly soldiering on as they take on the role of the artist navigating the entertainment scene in the time of the new normal.
