Even after binge-watching it several times, Captain Yoo Shi Jin and Doctor Kang Mo Yeon's love story on "Descendants of the Sun" never fails to make its viewers swoon. Months after the drama's release, there's still high public demand for the stars and for a second season.
Here's everything we know so far about the potential "Descendants of the Sun" Season 2.
"Descendants of the Sun" Season 2 release date
Although nothing has been set in stone as of yet, KBS' drama department previously revealed their plans to do a "Descendants of the Sun" project for 2017. According to Soompi, the network said it's a project they want to pursue to "repay viewers" and express their gratitude to the fans.
"Descendants of the Sun" Season 2 plot
KBS stated that they're still discussing whether to continue the original story of a soldier or move to a different arc.
While all eyes were definitely on Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki's romance in "Descendants of the Sun," Kim Ji Won and Jin Goo's love team also proved to be popular with fans. Thus, there are theories that "Descendants of the Sun" Season 2 might focus on the story of the second couple.
Jin Goo is open to doing a second round of "Descendants of the Sun," as he once said in an interview that he would commit to Season 2 if viewers allow it.
"In my 14 years of acting, I've never filmed for something like a sequel and so I do want to experience in," Soompi quoted Jin Goo as saying.
"Descendants of the Sun" Season 2 cast and crew
While it is hoped that everyone can return, there's no confirmation yet as to who might return to the rumored "Descendants of the Sun" Season 2. KBS previously said that they want to advance a project that the whole production team and cast can commit to.
For now, Song Joong Ki is filming his upcoming movie "Battleship Island."
Kim Won Suk, co-writer for the original drama, may or may not do the screenplay for "Descendants of the Sun" Season 2. In an interview, Kim declared that he has no intention to work on another season since she's already told the story she wanted to tell.
