Descendants of the Sun was a big success but the two leads stars Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo have revealed that filming was not that easy. Both stars revealed that they found it extremely challenging to speak English, which was needed for a few of their lines.

The Korean stars were tasked to deliver lines in English as Descendants of the Sun is aimed at reaching audiences beyond Korea and China. The producer of the drama series Hallyu apparently wanted to break into the international market, which is why they had to include English lines.

While the series brought them success, Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo has admitted that it was not easy to speak in English. In an interview with VIU TV, both actors revealed that they had trouble speaking in English.

"There are some English conversations that I didn't speak fluently, so I have to improvise," Song Joong-Ki revealed. The actor said that he hopes fans like the parts where he delivered his lines in English, despite having trouble with the language.

While Song Joong-Ki did some improvisation on his own, Song Hye-Kyo took it up a notch as she asked for the help of professional doctors to properly teach her medical English terms. "There were a lot of professional words and I didn't know them. But the doctors instructed me a lot," she said.

Meanwhile, as previously reported, there are rumors that the two Descendants of the Sun stars are officially dating based on a cover photo uploaded by Dispatch. Dispatch is widely known for exposing celebrity couples in South Korea.

Although the two have shut down the dating rumors countless times, it appears that persistent speculations do not affect them much. Song Joong-Ki recently explained that dating rumors are simply swirling because fans love them in their drama Descendants of the Sun.
