CONFIRMED! Mapapanood na rin ang Kapuso internationally-acclaimed primetime series ma “Descendants of the Sun Philippines” sa Netflix Philippines.

Simula sa Nov. 13 hahataw na ang DOTS PH nina Dingdong Dantes at Jennylyn Mercado sa Netflix bilang bahagi pa rin 70th anniversary celebration ng GMA habang mas pinalalakas pa ang kanilang digital presence with several world-class programs.

Naglabas ng statement ang Kapuso Network tungkol sa isa na namang achievement na ito para sa DOTS PH at siyempre tuwang-tuwa ang buong production sa good news na ito.

“It is the first GMA program to be streamed on Netflix. The local adaptation of the well-loved South Korean drama of the same title will be available on the popular streaming site in the Philippines.

“The 65-episode series will be streamed on Netflix on eight consecutive Fridays beginning Nov. 13, 2020.

“Headlined by two of the biggest names on Philippine TV – Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes and Ultimate Star Jennylyn Mercado – the series revolves on the fickle love story of Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Special Forces Captain Lucas Manalo a.k.a. ‘Big Boss’ and cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Maxine Dela Cruz, or ‘Beauty’.

“With both of them having dangerous and demanding jobs, timing was never on their side. But the more they tried to distance themselves from one another, the more that fate found a way to bring Lucas and Maxine together – surviving and making it through one disaster after another.

“Reporting with them for duty are Rocco Nacino as Technical Sergeant Diego Ramos and Jasmine Curtis-Smith as Captain Moira Defensor.

“Also in the series as hard-working doctors and nurses are Renz Fernandez, Chariz Solomon, Andre Paras, Nicole Donesa, Reese Tuazon, Jenzel Angeles, and Bobby Andrews.

“Meanwhile, the brave military team is composed of Paul Salas, Jon Lucas, Lucho Ayala, and Prince Clemente.

“Completing the cast are Neil Ryan Sese, Pancho Magno, Antonio Aquitania, Ricardo Cepeda, Ian Ignacio, Rich Asuncion, Carlo Gonzalez, Hailey Mendes, Marina Benipayo, and Roi Vinzon.

“Esteemed director Dominic Zapata is at the helm of this series.

Last August, Descendants of the Sun Philippines brought honor to the country as the first local TV program to receive the Most Popular Foreign Drama of the Year award in the 15th Seoul International Drama Awards. Its lead actor, Dingdong Dantes, was also awarded the prestigious Asian Star Prize in the same annual global festival.

“Descendants of the Sun Philippines premiered on February 10, but production was temporarily suspended due to the restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Lock-in tapings with strict safety measures were held last month, which enabled the series to resume its run on Oct. 26, starting with a two-week recap on GMA Telebabad.

“Get excited and relive the story of Big Boss and Beauty in Descendants of the Sun Philippines streaming this Nov. 13 on Netflix Philippines.”
