Descendants of the Sun (2016)

Best Drama Ever!! Highly Recommended!!

Actually I watched this drama mainly because of my cousin. But when I started watching this I was like I HAVE TO finish it. The leading characters, second leads; all did an AMG job. I have watched it so many times. OST, Story, Casting and everything else was perfect. Overall it is the most AMG drama I've ever watched..❤️❤️Song - Song couple was my favourite. I always ship them..?? In the drama, from the beginning to the end, there wasn’t a simple change in their feelings. the drunken scene was my Most favourite one.
After her confession, his reaction was amg.??

I Love thiss Drama very much.. I'm a huge  fan actually..
1. The Chemistry between two main leads was amazing (well they ended up marry in real life though)
2. The story line is not the usual action romance like other dramas
3. The pace of the plot is very fast, keep you wondering what next? Not typical slow pace drama with the unsolved problems/missunderstanding for several episoes
4. No crazy and jealous girl/boy
5. It's funny but also heartwarming scenes and conversation along the drama
I rewatch this several times and don't get bored of two leads chemistry and interaction
At fist I was rather hesitate to watch because the story about soldier and war never been my interest.. But ended up I was falling in love with this drama.,
If you haven't watch it.. it's highly recommended

How my love-hate relationship for this show went.

I usually watch dramas based on my favorite writers or actors. This show definitely falls on the second category since I am not really a fan of Kim Eun-sook (I watched Heirs because of the abundance of pretty). I am a Song Joong Ki fan ever since his Innocent Man days and I really do anticipate for this show because this is his come back drama after getting discharged. And so, off I go and watch this drama.

The Story
Story-wise, I believe that Descendants did a good job on maximizing all the angles of the setting it was on. There is definitely enough suspense, thrill and action when your hero is a soldier, specifically in a special unit for that matter. I believe that the highlight of the drama was really when they were in Urk. Because that is where the story developed and got deeper. After their return to South Korea, I am always wondering what will happen and that there is not much material left to work on. So the writer need to do THAT by the last week of the drama. I think the last episode is all fan service and nothing much is really happening any more. Well, as compared to the writer's other projects (I only watched Secret Garden and Heirs), I like this better.

The Cast
I can watch this forever because of Joong Ki and I think I need not say much about him. I adore him! I read some reactions saying that it feels that Song Hye Kyo lacks emotions in her acting. In my opinion, Song Hye Kyo did well with her role delivering intense longing, conflicting, and even sometimes funny emotions on her scenes.

But really, the gem for me here is Kim Ji Won and Jin Goo. I actually loved their love line than the main couple. I watched Kim Ji Won in Heirs only and have not watched her since so I am not sure how she did on others but her performance here is really improved compared to that in Heirs. I haven't watched any of Jin Goo's shows but I know that he is in the industry for quite a while now and finally, he gets his recognition. I am really happy that their careers are both enjoying the popularity of this show.

Every one was awesome but then I cringe every now and then when there's a cheesy line. My goodness, I can't believe that they were able to deliver those cheesy lines!

The Soundtrack
I think we all had fair share of Last Song Syndrome because of this show's soundtrack.

Also, I want to acknowledge that the drama really has good editing. I think the fact that it was pre-produced gave the production more time to smooth the flow of the scenes. Somehow I also felt that their location is already so pretty, it required less effort. Ha ha. The scenes really delivered a lot of feels.

Overrated drama.

Joong-ki doesn't fit as a "cynical" military.
Scriptwriter doesn't seem to have decided if it's supposed to be a serious drama or a comedy. Don't know why it's so popular.

I find non christian (/muslim) people tend to over adapt to try to show they are open minded and "educated" when instead it only show their lack of independent thinking.
2+2 doesn't become five just because the majority want's it to be.
Christian people touting their religion as a human religion does not take away the Fact that the idea of an almighty, good, g#d is world history's Biggest FRAUD, considering All the injustices and problems on this planet, despite thousands of years of praying to this imaginary g#d.
Jesus was a low educated megalomaniac, who couldn't handle having been born out of wedlock.

Let me tell you ONE thing about this drama.
It is absolutely worth the watch.

I've heard about this drama numerous of times on tumblr and from the popularity it had in Korea but I never bothered to watch it when it aired. I finally sat down and found some free time to watch it and I finished the entire 16 episodes in a day and half, which is an all-time record for me. Although, I probably would've finished it in one day if I had the ability to, unfortunately I am still human.

I was very skeptical about this drama when I first heard about it because I'm not one that is too into war-themed dramas, I prefer more modern day/city-like/relateable dramas. But I managed to watch it and it exceeded my expectations which I am extremely glad it did.

The story was great. It really gives you a look into the world of those who a) work to protect their countries and b) work to protect those that are in need. This was a great drama that mixed action and medicine all into one, which I find that most medical dramas lack: a sense of excitement, which is what DOTS provided throughout all 16 episodes. With the ending of each episode, I just kept wanting more and more. This drama has such a way to tug at your heart and the inner do-gooder inside of everyone. A+++++

The cast is absolutely phenomenal, what with Song Joong-ki and Song Hye Kyo as your leads, what more could you want? The characters were characters you also fell in love with too. Every character had a story and it just made you seem even more connected to them. SHK was a wonder actress as usual, she looks just as she did back in her Full House days and played the role of a doctor very well indeed. Joong-ki was what really surprised me though. All of the roles I've seen him in he played a sort of boyish character, one that was innocent and had a flowerboy like aura to him. It's very much a different experience to see him play a soldier, one who's personality is completely the opposite of the other roles he's had. In a way he seemed more like a man through this drama rather than the young boy I've always seen him as. I guess his time in the military before this drama was also another supporting factor but still, it's a wonderful change.

The music to this drama was wonderful and I'd be lying if I said I didn't subscribe to a DOTS playlist I found on Spotify of all the songs in the drama lolol.

Overall I would definitely rewatch it, if I ever found the time to. And this is a drama I would recommend to anybody.

Não tenho muito o que falar sobre Descendants of the Sun, é o estilo de obra que eu gosto bastante, ação, drama e romance, a trama é muito boa é bem diferente do abtual, o vilão e bem construído é carismático, personagens e atuações excelentes, fotografia e a coreografia das lutas foram muito boas também, infelizmente ou felizmente o casal secundário rouba a cena, não que o casal principal seja ruim, e mais pelo fato do casal secundário já terem uma história mais longa e momentos que o principal, só não dei 10 pelo simples fato da bobeira que fizeram na cena que eles supostamente haviam morrido, acho que poderia ter sido melhor trabalhado aquilo, achei bem forçado, tomaram um míssil na cara e depois aparecem vivos do nada, extremamente forçado pra uma obra desse nível, enfim!

(short review)

First of all: It is an entertaining drama. It is worth watching, but it is not stellar.

What surprised me, was that I actually expected (naive of me, I guess), a drama
with lots of military stuff and seriousness.
But it is a total CHICK FLIC :D

This drama gets very cheezy at some points in a weird way, maybe because it
tries to mix romance with serious topics.

The best part about this drama is the humour - it is realistic in a way I am not used to
in K-dramas, I really enjoyed the pranks and funny interactions between the characters
and soldiers. It portrayed humour like everyday people could actually have it.

It was entertaining and I am happy that I watched it. Maybe I will revisit the funny scenes at some
point :)

Descendants of the Sun has it all on genres of k-drama not only a melodrama but also an action packed series that will make you feel intense it also has a light comedy on the characters especially on the supporting characters.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

When I first heard about DOTS, I immediately watch it right away because I saw on my SNS accounts that Song Joongki is the lead and I miss him so much in dramas because he enlisted on 2013 and he just came back from army. He is also my ultimate k-actor Oppa because he is cute, charming and handsome at the same time <3 I also noticed when I was watching the first episode that Song Hye Kyo is the female lead and she's an ageless beauty and also one of my favorite korean actresses. I wasn't really hooked on the first episode because as I've said earlier that I only watch it because of Song Joongki but I got hooked on the 3rd episode because I understand what the story is.

ON THE CHARACTERS

Song Joongki as Captain Yoo Si Jin/Big Boss - I REALLY LOVE BIG BOSS! <3 Big Boss for me is an eye candy for this drama because how a soldier can be handsome at the same time?! <3 I also like the way he jokes to Kang Mo Yeon. He's one of my favorite male lead because he is playful and brave. Song Joongki's portrayal as Yoo Si Jin. He really fits this role <3

Song Hye Kyo as Dr. Kang Mo Yeon/Beauty - I am amaze on her character as a doctor. Though what I didn't like at her was she is hiding her feelings for Yoo Si Jin :|

JinGoo as Sergeant Major Seo Dae Young/Wolf - I love the bromance with him and Big Boss <3 I like Jingoo's portrayal as Seo Dae Young and he is also handsome even though he has a tan skin <3

Kim Jiwon as Lieutenant Yoon Myeong Joo - Idk why but I like Yoon Myeong Joo than Kang Mo Yeon though I love Kim Jiwon here than her other roles like The Heirs, SHE'S ALSO PRETTY! <3

TEAM ALPHA - SQUAD GOALS! <3

OVERALL PLOT/STORYLINE OF THE DRAMA
As I've said on the first line, it is one of k-dramas that has a unique storyline. No Love Triangle, no rich guy-poor girl who fall inlove, no identity switch, etc. For me, this k-drama is a mature one that teaches us about our profession or our jobs in life. All the feels are here in this k-drama.

MORAL LESSON OF THE DRAMA
It's just simple. Love for the country regardless of nationality, race, gender and religion and also we must balance our priorities in life especially in our work or school works.

10/10. MY #1 FAVORITE K-DRAMA(ALSO BRIDAL MASK). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
