It has been five years since the popular K-drama "Descendants of the Sun" starring Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo made millions of fans laugh and cry at the same time with their antics and sweet moments.
With this, the top rating KBS series showcased undeniable chemistry between the lead stars as they play the role of Captain Yoo Si Jin and Dr. Kang Mo Yeon.
Interestingly, the rom-com drama also became the start of Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo's off-screen romance as they, later on, became South Korea's most sought-after celebrity couple.
However, a lot of things occurred after "Descendants of the Sun" aired in 2016.
Following the surprise wedding of the Song-Song Couple in 2017, they have decided to file a divorce months after tying the knot due to "personality differences."
