I like military-themed dramas especially when they involve love stories centered around military personnel. That alone was a simple yet strong enough reason for me to give this one a try.

I absolutely love military dramas, and this one included several of my favorite elements:
โก๐ช Military life and training
โก๐ Military competitions
โก๐ค Bonds of friendship among soldiers
โก๐ Light-hearted teasing and camaraderie
โก๐ Romantic relationships involving military personnel
โก ๐งโโ๏ธ Senior-junior dynamics
โก๐ Military discipline, hierarchy, and lifestyle
โก๐ฌ Not only are military personnel and their teams like a family, but their actual families also share the same deep bond. Just as soldiers support one another, their families, too, stand by and support each other like one united family.
๐ I appreciate when a profession is portrayed with realism and dignity not only the professional aspects, but their emotional and personal lives too.

While the drama began with promise, there were several things that disappointed me:
๐ After the pirates hostage situation:
๐ณ๏ธThe story began to lose momentum.
๐ณ๏ธ The pacing and direction shifted, weakening the original intensity.
โ The character "Han Yu Hang" :
โจฏ Felt completely unnecessary and overly frustrating.
โจฏ ๐ซ FL (Female Lead) had already made it clear that she wasnโt interested, yet he kept following her and interfering in her life.
โจฏHeโs not her brother, cousin, ex, friend, family, or enemy. In short, he has no role in her life or in the main story.
โจฏHis screen time felt like a total waste. I honestly wondered, what was the writer even thinking?
โจฏ His presence doesn't even qualify as that of a typical "extra" he was just there, adding nothing.
โจฏAnd whatโs wrong with Han Yu Hang? Has he completely lost his sense of reality? Heโs asking FL, โYou know Iโve been pursuing you, right? You only come to me when you need something. What do I even mean to you?โ
โจฏSeriously? She has clearly told you there's nothing possible between you two. You're the one forcing yourself into her life, offering help she never asked for. You're the one pushing this so-called friendship or "convenient relationship" not her.
โจฏShe never initiated it, so what right or logic do you have to ask her such questions now?
โจฏ๐คกโ๏ธBravo, writer. What a bafflingly tone-deaf character youโve written.
๐ฆ The "FL jumps into the water" scene:
๐งป๐ง Practically and logically, it made no sense.
๐งป๐งWomen are generally not as physically strong , here to compare to trained male soldiers that even more impossible . If you put a weak link between two strong ones in a chain, the chain will still break.
๐งป๐งSoldiers were forming a human chain to stop the water. There was no need for FL to jump in the middle.
๐งป๐งWas she trying to prove she was stronger than the soldiers?
๐งป๐ง It didnโt feel empowering it felt reckless.
๐ It looked like the writer just wanted to force importance on the FL through an illogical and unrealistic act.
๐ As a viewer, I already knew she was the main lead there was no need to add a foolish scene to emphasize it.
๐ญ Honestly, that scene just made both the FL and the writer look silly.
โ ๏ธ Irresponsible Writing at Its Peak:
๐ฉบโ ๏ธ2ML should not be allowed near 2FL until a doctor has given full clearance.
๐ฉบโ ๏ธIf someone had told me there was even a possibility of HIV, I would have locked myself in a room for the safety of others. No matter how educated you are, whether you're a soldier or a doctor, you cannot prevent every accident.
๐ฉบโ ๏ธIt doesnโt take much for HIV to spread even a small cut or exposure to blood can be enough. In daily life, people get cuts in the kitchen all the time. And no one is fully alert every second of the day.
๐ฉบโ ๏ธWhat was the writer even thinking while writing something so careless and foolish? ๐คกโ๏ธ
๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ Failed Thrilling Track:
The story started with a suspenseful tone a mysterious informer emailing a reporter, and the reporter beginning an investigation. That part felt exciting and promising.
Butโฆ
๐๐The informer was kidnapped too easily.
๐๐Suddenly he wanted to cooperate with the police then why involve the reporter in the first place?
๐๐ That whole storyline was dismissed with a simple, lazy excuse:
โReporter FL should stay away; itโs dangerous.โ
๐๐โ ๏ธ All the thrill, danger, and suspense justโฆ vanished.
๐งโโ๏ธ Underwhelming Villain:
๐ฃ๐The so-called โvillainโ a businessman and his team didnโt seem like villains at all.
๐ฃ๐They lacked presence, threat, or impact.
๐ฃ๐They felt more like extras with random dialogue than actual antagonists.
๐ฃ๐Poorly written and ineffective in adding any thrill or tension.

Despite its flaws, I still consider this a good drama. Maybe it's because Iโm a little biased toward this theme but I genuinely enjoyed the military setting and emotional undertones.
Yes, it lost its direction midway, but the early episodes, the characters, and the military lifestyle won me over.
๐ญ If you enjoy military romance and donโt mind a few bumps along the way, this drama is still worth watching.
