Dingdong Dantes attracted attention when he played the main role in the Philippine version of Descendants of the Sun. On Instagram and Twitter , the audience was divided into two opinions about the actor’s appearance. One side said he was more masculine, muscular, and had a more military spirit than Song Joong Ki in the original Korean version. The rest thought Dingdong was old, had a fierce expression, and lacked the humor of the character.
According to GMA Network , as soon as the producer had the intention to remake Descendants of the Sun , he thought of Dingdong. In terms of acting, he is always at the top of the Philippine entertainment industry with 24 years of experience. In terms of appearance, the actor once won the “Most Handsome Male Star” poll in the country.
