"Year-round Live” talked about several obstacles that “Descendants of the Sun” encountered before it was released on screen.

The broadcast of KBS 2TV’s “Year-round Live” aired on December 10th introduced films and dramas that made big hits after overcoming various hardships and struggles.

The work that ranked No.1 on the list was drama “Descendants of the Sun”, which created numerous famous lines and legendary scenes. In fact, there were many hidden twists and turns during the production of this work.

According to the broadcast, screenwriter Kim Eun Sook discussed the production plan with SBS first but was rejected. In addition, there were many difficulties in the casting for the role of Captain Yoo Si Jin. At that time, the production team wanted an actor with a charismatic and bulky image. Accordingly, they contacted Gong Yoo, Jo In Sung, Kim Woo Bin, and Lee Min Ho, but all of them refused to appear in the drama because it was a soldier character and that the filming, pre-production could take quite a long time.

In addition, the filming was suspended once due to Song Joong Ki’s injury. “Descendents of the Sun”, which was broadcast after such ups and downs, gained huge love from global viewers and recorded the highest rating of 46.6% for its last episode.

After “Descendents of the Sun” ended, Song Joong Ki reportedly received about 100 CF offers and earned around 100 billion won a year. As a result, this movie topped the list of hit dramas/films that gained sweet after bitter.

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.
