Descendants of the Sun: Cast

MAIN CAST:

Song Joong-Ki as Captain Yoo Si Jin (aka Big Boss)  

The team leader of Alpha Team, an elite special forces unit in South Korea. He is a soldier from a family with a military background. He highly respects his father, who is honourably discharged as a Sergeant Major. He possesses both academic and physical abilities, thus making him a complete soldier. He graduated from the Korea Military Academy and is currently a Captain in the army. His belief that beautiful women, the elderly and children deserve to be protected, his courage to intervene when high schoolers smoke on the streets, and his common sense that wrong is wrong despite having a gun pointed at his head are all part of Si-jin's love for country and a soldier's honour. He is an easy-going, lively character who is confident and at times witty and likes to joke around, depending on the situation. He was later promoted to Major.

 Song Hye-Kyo as Doctor Kang Mo Yeon (aka Beauty)  

A cardiothoracic specialist who works at Haesung Hospital. She is portrayed as an assertive woman who has great abilities but would rather confine herself to the operating theatre. She believes that competence overrules connections but is hit by the harsh reality that she cannot go anywhere without any connections. She is a woman with principles and doesn't fall prey easily to her emotions. Overall, she is the complete package - her speaking abilities are unrivaled, and she is not afraid to admit her mistakes.
