'Descendants of the Sun' to premiere in GMA; fans clamor for Song Joong Ki to visit the Philippines

By GIA ALLANA SORIANO

Ki-Ailes (Song Joong Ki’s fan club name) are all ecstatic to watch the Philippine premiere of Descendants of the Sun, Korea’s record-breaking drama about a Special Forces unit captain (portrayed by Song Joong Ki) and a surgeon’s (portrayed by Song Hye Kyo) action-packed love story.

 
In a 24 Oras report, the admins of Song Joong Ki Philippines expressed their excitement now that their most loved Koreanovela is about to premiere on Philippine TV.
 
Admin Jessica Peraja gushed, “Two years siyang nawala [because of mandatory military service in Korea] so sobrang hinintay talaga namin siya for the comeback.”
 
Head Admin Meljoy Mata also added that Pinoys will definitely enjoy watching the drama’s unique story and outstanding cinematography which was shot both in Korea and Greece.

She expounded, “Hindi siya 'yung typical love story between rich and poor na may mga kontrabidang magulang. Pinaka naging conflict kasi nung story was ‘yung pagkakaiba ng beliefs nung dalawang taong involved.”
 
In an exclusive interview with GMAnetwork.com, Jessica then expounded: “Magugustuhan ng mga Pinoy ang Descendants of the Sun kasi 'yung storyline is very different sa Pinoy dramas.”

The actor last visited the Philippines during his photo shoot for W Korea in Cebu. The girls also hope that Song Joong Ki can visit the country once again.
