ABANGERS na ang milyun-milyong Kapuso viewers sa pagbabalik ng internationally-acclaimed primetime series na “Descendants of the Sun: The Philippine Adaptation”.
Rarampa na uli sa telebisyon simula sa darating na Lunes, Oct. 26 ang laging trending at hataw sa rating na Pinoy version ng hit K-drama na “DOTS.”
Muli na ngang mapapanood sina Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes at Ultimate Star Jennylyn Mercado bilang sina Big Boss at Beauty. Kasama rin sina Rocco Nacino at Jasmine Curtis-Smith bilang sina Wolf at Moira.
Una munang mapapanood ang recap nito simula sa Monday para ma-refresh ang memory ng publiko sa mga unang kaganapan sa serye habang ang fresh episodes naman ay magsisimulang ipalabas sa darating na Nov. 5.
Kamakaikan, naglabas ng statement ang GMA tungkol sa isa na namang achievement na natamo ng DOTS PH sa direksyon ni Domimic Zapata — ang pagpapalabas nito sa Netflix starting next month.
“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.
“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.”
Nauna nang sinabi nina Dingdong at Jennylyn na hindi biro ang lock-in taping under the new normal. Extra challenge raw talaga ang nangyari sa kanila sa set.
“Hindi siya madali. Parang kulang na nga lang, bitbitin ko ‘yung buong bahay, ‘yung buong kusina. Siyempre ang habol mo diyan kahit paano ay ‘yung comfort mo,” sabi ni Dingdong.
Aniya pa, naging “challenging” din kumustahan sa kani-kanilang pamilya dahil mahirap maghanap ng cellphone signal sa gubat ng Tanay, Rizal kung saan sila nag-shoot.
