With its compelling storyline and strong star cast, who share a great chemistry with each other, the drama that revolves around the lives of military personnel and doctors who are deployed in a fictional war-torn country holds a special place in the hearts of diehard K-drama fans.

While Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo played the lead characters, Jin Goo as Sergeant Seo Dae-young won hearts with his portrayal of a skilled and dedicated soldier serving in the Special Forces of the South Korean army.

Seo Dae-young is depicted as a quiet and stoic character, often exhibiting a tough and no-nonsense attitude. He is highly disciplined and possesses exceptional combat skills, making him an invaluable asset to his team. As a soldier, he displays unwavering loyalty and commitment to his duties, and his bravery is highlighted through various intense and dangerous missions.

And Jin Goo perfectly portrayed the character, complete with his look and body language, in the series.

So, fans of the actor were shocked when he showed a completely new, almost unrecognisable avatar on his social media page recently.

Over the past few months, Jin Goo has been posting pictures of himself on his Instagram page, looking nothing like his character in Descendants of the Sun.

Sporting long hair and looking much slimmer, fans have been gushing over Jin Goo's new look.

Rumours are that the actor has changed his look for an upcoming project, but Jin Goo has neither confirmed nor denied this.
