Zindagi to launch South Korean Blockbuster love story- 'Descendants of the Sun'

Television viewers in India are mainly exposed to content from American and British TV shows. The only platform that showcases great stories to viewers in India from across the globe beyond the U.S.A and U.K, is the No. 1 Premium Entertainment Channel – Zindagi.  Through specially handpicked shows, Zindagi has given viewers a glimpse into new cultural settings while still showcasing universal emotions.

After introducing shows from Turkey and Ukraine, Zindagi, will launch the blockbuster South Korean drama ‘Descendants of the Sun’ for the first time on Indian television. The heart-warming love story revolves around Special Force Officer (Song Joong Ki) and a surgeon (Song Hye Kyo) whose destinies are joined together.  

The finite series was a blockbuster hit in South Korea and garnered immense popularity and top-ratings across Asia. Korean heartthrob Song Joong Ki plays the role of a Special Force Officer. He is considered to be one of Korea’s hottest actors with a huge fan following across South East Asia. Prior to bagging the role in the show, the actor served in the Korean Military for two years. The show catapulted his fame making him one of the highest paid South Korean actors.

‘Descendants of the Sun’ is the story of Special Force Officer and a surgeon who fall in love at first sight. Their contrasting ideologies and values (as one kills to protect lives while the other one saves lives to protect them) makes them shy away from one another. Destiny plays an interesting role and after almost a year of having parted ways, they meet at a warzone ‘Uruk’, a land far from Seoul. Now, circumstances bring them face to face where they must work closely together driven by their principles.

Will their love bloom in a strange land with an extreme environment? Will they be able to dispose what destiny has proposed?
