Short Review: Great story that revolves around the army, and it was a bit emotional too (not full on bawling, but makes me look up to people who serve in themilitary). Hope you can see it!Longer Review: This Korean drama was excellent. This may seem cheesy giving it a 10 out of 10, but I really think this show deserves this rating. I love action with a bit of romance, so this show was perfect for me. The setting includes the army, and the words that comes out of the soldier's mouth seems to be written by an actual soldier, making it emotional (not full on bawling, but for me it makes me look up to people who serve in the army). I hope you can watch it soon!

Descendants of the sun (DOTS) is absolutely my favorite kdrama and is what got me hooked onto kdramas. There are several reasons for this - spectacular locations with great cinematography, amazing soundtrack and the perfect cast. The cast was especially impressive in their acting abilities and none of the actors disappointed. This is one of the few Korean shows where the subplots are just as enjoyable as the main story. The pacing is also good and I did not need to skip through any of the scenes. Although there are a few implausible moments, it is a riveting drama and definitely worth watching (preferably on a marathon)! I would give it a 9.5/10, mainly because it is exceptional in its genre.

I don't know why this became such a mega-hit, even bigger than You Who Came from the Stars. For me, the story did not really keep me engaged. I only watched it to see why people loved it so much. Yes, the cinematography was superb. The leads were also great and personally, I like both of them and have seen their other dramas before. At least, the woman is not the usual Cinderella character and the man is not Prince Charming CEO type. However, the story of these two leads did not capture my interest. At least with You Who Came from the Stars, the story between the lead characters and the crime/thriller subplot were gripping enough to make me continue watching, though I did not like the way they ended the drama. I was not personally invested in DOTS despite the good lead actors. I know that many loved their looks and chemistry but for me it will take more than looks and chemistry to keep me interested. Even with YWCFS, I couldn't care less about the chemistry between the two leads but the alien concept and the crime/thriller aspect of the drama made a bit more interested. The story between the two leads in DOTS could have been better. For example, the soldier had to kill someone close to the doctor because he or she was a spy but the doctor needed to save that person because not only was that person dear to her but she had to save lives as a doctor---well, something like that to make the dilemma more interesting and gripping.

I watched it and it's seriously addictive!! I haven't seen a lot of war dramas so I can't scale it or compare it, but I can tell it's got a good plot and characters. This is the type of drama that has potential and the writers know how to fully unlock that; hopefully they'll even surpass my expectations. The story flow is great so far, with emotional yet playful chemistry between the two leads. Can't wait to see how this will turn out :).The chemistry between the leads are just so good. But I have this bittersweet feeling; definitely something tragic is about to happen and idk if my heart can handle it . I hope they don't bring some IsIs sh*t in to this drama or calls the afghans terrorists cuz' we've had enough of that already and there is no reason to confuse people even more.
