I loved Descendent of the Sun, and also I'm watching The white olive tree now. I can say they are not similar in plot development at all, except they share the same topic of involving in the war zone and kind of heroic characters. If I have to pick what is the same, then I feel it is a little alike in these two's cinematography (just a bit).
I recommend you set your head in the "brainless" mode to watch this drama. It will get nonlogically hilarious…
I'm at ep 18 now and the scene of the attempted murder of the wife aka the biological mother of DYX on the boat is humorous in the way that no one can think of but the writers of this drama (on that little small boat, how can you don't know there is another girl will jump in the river to save your victim???)
I am very thankful to have watched this show and gone through their journey with them. Rewatching their confession night on the last day makes me cry a bit.
Totally agree. I did drop it at watch till ep 6-7 for a while, then later comeback to finish.
Have you ever watched Bad Genius? It's quite similar to The Believers, about a group of students who build an academic cheating 'business'. It has 2 versions: the movie and the series, the movie has the actor James who played Win in it. Both on netflix, from what I remember.
I want to sum it up a bit here (ep 1 - 6): + EH and HO are deeply in love, but they are unable to progress their relationship further. They struggle with communication and seem unaware of each other's family backgrounds and challenges. HO shoulders the responsibility of caring for all the grandmothers, while EH has endured the loss of several beloved family members - her sister HR, grandma, and parents - making it difficult for her to share the pain with anyone. Even though they are exes now, they are still deeply involved in each other's lives: their jobs, the care for personal life, helping in work, the affection,... + EH struggles with DID and undergoes counselling. HR is an alter identity that EH developed as a way to seek happiness or possibly to keep the memory of her younger sister alive. Alternatively, it may be a coping mechanism for the pain she has endured, although the exact cause is still being explored. + (Alter) HR works at a parking lot and starts to develop a romantic interest in JY, an announcer. JY has a challenging past involving his late brother and taking care of his mentally unstable mother. HR and JY develop a deep sense of empathy and appreciation for each other. However, is it love or the desire to be happy individually? It's unclear for now. + HY is a co-worker with JY, seems that she has a crush or surely admiration for him. HY has to face some sexist situations in her work environment. In ep 5, HY meets a secret man who wears glasses, maybe her lover, but this hasn't been revealed yet (in ep 6 there is a scandal she and JY stay in the same hotel room to drink wine, but I check it and JY is not that secret man). + The drama raises a few issues in the announcer profession: sexism and power abuse; as well as the professional work ethic required to maintain a "neutral" image when delivering news to audiences.
I think Eun Ho and her ex-boyfriend have a love-hate relationship. He has caring moments for her but they also argue and mock each other, especially when it comes to their profession.
It released only a few episodes but never last till the end, seems like it had been banned or sth (no official annoucement). So you still can enjoy its first few eps, the show has good cinematography and actors.
i find SXJ a very interesting character. she is much more than what she appears. she is soft spoken, gentle but…
Yeah, I watch ep 26 just now, Shi knows how to ignore other prejudice or hate for her, she easily find joy in eating good food, haha. And i guess she doesn't rely on any people's love and care, she just try to be a fine Queen and doesn't expect for ZY love either.
Does anyone like Shi Xue Ji (lady 7th) like me? I think she is really cute and calm girl but I wonder what will her romance story be like since Ziyu loves LMT? I went to read the end part of the original novel but its ending for Shi wasn't enough for me, I hope the drama create for her more excited storyline.

SK and JW is a story of break up. Love, hate, sorrow, sad and heal. Maybe it's time to let you go, only to know i loved you that much. "Let's be happy :)" your wish will become true.
