The actors will not be appearing in the same show, after Song Joong-ki said in a press conference in Singapore that an on-screen reunion would be "challenging".

“Work is work, so it may be a little tough to be in the same production," the 32-year-old had said.

The celebrity of Running Man fame will, however, reunite with another Descendants of the Sun co-star, Kim Ji-won, in the historical fantasy Asadal Chronicles, said to air next year.

The drama will also feature actors Jang Dong-gun and Kim Ok-bin, according to Korean news portal Naver.

Earlier this month, Yonhap reported that Song Hye-kyo, 36, will star alongside Reply 1988 actor Park Bo-gum in Boyfriend, which will air later this year.
