The speculation about "Descendants of the Sun 2" sparked soon after Song Joong Ki shared a picture of himself sporting the same army uniform he wore in the first installment of the popular Korean drama.
The image went viral among fans within hours of sharing, attracting as many as 150,000 likes. Soon after the photograph was shared, the speculation erupted that the dormant "DOTS" show, that aired its last episode in April 2016, will be revived again. The post garnered many comments and shares, showing eagerness of the fans to see their beloved show back on TV again, Korean Portal reported.
According to previous reports, the show was speculated to begin its pre-production phase for season 2 in early 2017, soon after Joong Ki wrapped up his upcoming film, "Battleship Island."
Fans not only want to see "DOTS 2" again, they also want to see their favorite lead couple back together. It has been previously rumored that Joong Ki and Hye Kyo will reprise their roles for the sequel, and will even walk down the aisle to carry on their story as a married couple. Other speculations regarding the storyline include that the on-screen couple will not only marry but also have kids in the show's second installment.
Meanwhile, Hye Kyo and Joong Ki dating rumors also intensified after the couple made a red carpet appearance together at 2016 KBS Awards. The two looked very comfortable in each other's company and the witnesses claim that Hye Kyo was even spotted comforting her rumored boyfriend as he welled up after Park Bo Gum's acceptance speech at the awards, Soompi reported.
The fans not only want the SongSong couple to get married on-screen, but also in real life. For now, the reports about the show's second season have neither been confirmed nor denied by the production team of "Descendants of the Sun."
