Descendants of the Sun has always been a drama I wanted to watch because of the positive reviews, but when I eventually got around to watching it, I was utterly dissatisfied. I'm sure others agree that this drama has been overhyped. This is because the drama was overall difficult to watch.
The ML: much to my surprise, this character was quite intriguing. The actor was able to successfully portray two of the character's characteristics (the vulnerable and serious trait). But the cheesiness was overpowering, and there were instances when his persona was intended to be cool but did the opposite.
The FL: The FL: The idea of this character being an outspoken female doctor who cares deeply about her patients, coworkers, and boyfriend was fantastic, but the actor's performance was not convincing. Rather than all of the positive aspects of her character that I mentioned, this actress's performance made the character come across as petulant in a way. And it was difficult to empathize with her since she constantly came off as pathetic.
The main couple: Because I knew the actors who played these roles were dating at the time, I had high hopes for their chemistry, but I was disappointed yet again. Maybe it's because I'm not a huge believer in love at first sight, but their relationship growth was quite complicated, and I believe it was due to a lot of going back and forth in the relationship. And there was a scene (or maybe more) in the drama where the ML kissed the FL but she didn't kiss back. She basically stands there like a statue, without moving a muscle, and the fact that the ML continued kissing was honestly disturbing.
The second couple: I would usually skip over the first lead couple to the second lead since they were so cute and really spared some of the drama for me, but they had a lot of misconceptions and hurdles in their relationship that I felt were repetitious, so I'll give them a 7/10.
The overall story had a lot of potentials, but the romance was more of a detriment than a positive for me. So that's that.
