Descendants of the Sun

I am inlove with this serries. Simply amazing..beautiful actors, funny, charming, captivating scenery and excelent script. Oh and the soundtrack..makes my heart melt. Please make Season 2! Pleaseeee!

I have recently learned to love Korean TV, having been wowed by Mr Sunshine and Crash Landing on You. I also loved Its Okay to Not be Okay. So I came to this wanting it to be of a similar standard. But it isn't. Not for me anyway.

I did not invest in the central relationship. The characters shed plenty of tears but never made me feel that their relationship was real. The story threw lots challenges and disasters their way, but none of it made me care what happened.

Having said all that, it is a moderately diverting drama, perhaps more likely to be enjoyed if you come at it with low expectations.

This is an excellent series. It has a great story line and good actors. The action sequences and the humour interlaced in the plot, keeps it interesting. The main characters leave a lasting impression. I'm not really fond of kdramas, but watched this one based on the amazing reviews it had. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, totally worth watching even with the subtitles.

One of the most well written and beautifully shot Korean dramas, amazing and fresh plot and we'll built characters and satisfying ending.one of the best shows and detailed writing work I ever seen in the WORLD.

This sixteen part Korean romance is centred on Yoo Si-jin, a captain in the Korean Special Forces, and Dr Kang Mo-yeon, an attractive woman he meets when he and his friend Master Sergeant Seo Dae-young take an injured young thief to hospital. He is immediately attracted to her but she suspects he caused the man's injuries. That misunderstanding is resolved and they start to see each other; things look to be going well then he is transferred to the fictional Balkan country of Uruk. That might be the end of their relationship but soon afterwards Dr Kang and her team are tasked with running a field hospital in Uruk. This reunites the doctor and the soldier. They end up facing several dangers together; most notably an earthquake and confrontation with a criminal gang led by a former comrade of Yoo Si-jin. There are other romances; Master Sergeant Seo Dae-young is in an off-and-on relationship with First Lieutenant Yoon Myung-ju, whose father, a general, doesn't approve her seeing an enlisted man.

I really enjoyed this series; it provides a fun central story which includes some fairly tense scenes as well as lots of laughs. In most episodes there are moments of danger although, for the most part, one won't fear too much for the ultimate safety of our protagonists. The cast is really great; Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo have a real chemistry as Captain Yoo and Dr Kang... it wasn't a huge surprise to learn the pair later marred in real life! Others are fine too; including the more minor characters. The Greek locations, filling in for the fictional Uruk, are impressively beautiful. It is fairly light hearted and requires some suspension of disbelief; I'm sure anybody with real military experience would laugh at the casual behaviour of soldiers depicted here. Over all I'd certainly recommend this to anybody who likes a solid romance story with a decent amount of action.
