I watched this drama to see what the inmense chemistry Hye kyo and Joong ki had, but when I started watching I didn't even feel it. To this day, I don't know why they started dating on the show. The story seemed to start well, but when they reached the base it seemed like the story had halted, and it had to do more with their "chemistry". The second lead couple, had a better structured story and had chemistry to share with the Hye kyo and Joong ki. The final episodes are pretty interesting, but it doesn't really make up for the lack of story during the rest of the 6 or 7 episodes from before. Final comment, the OSTs' were also pretty good to make up the lack of plot.

Was it just me that thought this drama was terrible?
Reasons why this drama was terrible:
1) It was way too cheesy!!!
2) The main characters (Song Joong Ki x Song Hye Kyo)  look like they are related...(even though they are married now).
3) The evil character guy's english/acting was soooox100000000000000000 cringyyyyyyyy!!!!
4) Can't even talk about that ending............................................(when they went to "Vancouver")
5) The story was terrible...expected a lot more since she wrote Gentleman's Dignity

Reasons why I watched this drama:
1) The first four episodes were good
2)The second main characters
3) OST <3

I think this serial is in the one the bests list in past decade. I really really loved it, the chemistry between the leadings and their perfect actings, scenario, shootings, places that they have been through, the supporting roles and their love story, even the smallest story of the writers telling to us was great. Of course there has been some missings and absenties but in general i really enjoyed watching the show so i absolutely recommend everyone to watch it.

And finally, song joong ki- u r the best.

I don't picked my ratings out of nowhere, Descendants of the Sun is one of the greatest Korean drama I've ever watched. The story is just very relatable and heart warming. It gave me a lot of reasons to smile, laugh out loud and cry a bucket of tears. It also taught me a lot about love, friendship, loyalty, responsibility, patience, principles and a whole lot more. I've already watched it for the second time around and I am planning to watch it again and again.

At first I don't have any interest in watching it because it is military or action oriented. But then when I started watching the first episode, I kept on watching the second until the last episode. The soundtrack also gave the drama taste some influence with various collaborations, especially Chen (EXO), K.Will, and Mad Clown. Overall the story's great. Fantastic!!!

Yes I rated everything with a ten but I have a reason because everything in this Drama was just perfect. It was well produced, the cast was the creme de la creme and the music was fantastic. I am still listening to the OST every now and then.
I really enjoyed watching DotS after waiting two months for it and I cried, laughed and felt with the characers in the Drama.

I really loved the filming of this Drama. Some cuts were amazing and brought me so much joy and emotions. The Cast was also incredibly good (maybe except for Onew) and their acting and interactions were great. In my opinion, the story sometimes was a little bit too over the top, that's why I only gave 8 1/2. But everything put together was just amazing and that's why this is my favourite Kdrama (so far).

This drama will definitely take you to a higher kdrama level experience. DOTS is about on how can a person could sacrifice for love to the extend give up your life for the sake of the person you love. And also how can two persons living a different way of life can fall for each other. It also have (almost) all kinds of genres. It is melodramatic, romantic-comedy, medical-drama, action, suspense, thriller, etc.


The main actors did their best they can, but not as good as I was expecting. Sye Kyo has only style of acting and Jung Ki is not very dramatic. Maybe you're thinking because he was a soldier here? I also have thought about that but unfortunately he was also stiff on other scenes just like action scenes, serious confrontation scenes etc. Other cast also did their best, it was like they were also main characters of the show, especially the 2nd lead love team. Actually, I shed more tears on their story compared to the story of main characters. I feel sorry for them (specially to the girl) because they really love each other but they just can't be together, I can't tell you why.


That's why this drama is special. This drama is very famous for a reason not just because of the beautiful faces of the main actors. So don't you dare miss this drama, watch this, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
