i came to watch jung haein and stayed for literally everything this drama had to offer.
i’m a fan of soldier/war shows and movies, but i have to be really in the mood for them, bc most of the time they’re a hit or miss.
from the moment this show started, i was hooked. even the credits were something refreshing and if i skipped them it was only bc i wanted the episode to start faster.
the acting was amazing, the music was sublime, and the plot was interesting. however, having some outsider knowledge about the mandatory conscription and conditions in korea made it so depressing at times bc i couldn’t help but imagine the real life people who actually went through these things. it was heartbreaking. i’ll never experience this but i know some people have and i am so sorry.
as i was typing a draft of my review the post credits scene came on and i was flabbergasted. halfway through my binge watching i thought to myself i wouldn’t watch season two bc i wanted to watch more from haein. after watching the credits and post credits scene i will definitely be #seated for season 2!
