Seriously this is one of the best kdramas that I have watched . I was so addicted to it and completed it in 2 days . I thought of watching this drama for a long time but I never did . I didn't know whether I would like it so I thought that I would watch it later and I kept on doing the same for a long time but while I was watching ost's of kdramas on youtube I heard the ost of this drama it was so good so I thought okay I would give it a try and it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made . The storyline is good and the script and the dialogues were written so well .The cast especially the leads are so good looking. The male lead is so handsome and cute and I wasn't able to take my eyes off him . They way he acted was awesome like sometimes he would be serious other times he would be joking around , it was good to watch. The interactions between the main leads are so good and the way they joke around with each other was so refreshing to see and also the interactions between the male lead and his friend in this drama ,their bromance and their friendship is awesome. They are like partners in crime together. While watching this drama you will be happy , sad , crying like a baby and sometimes you will get second hand embarrassed and sometimes you will be laughing so hard. You will feel all types of emotions . Okay that was really long. Finally what I want to say is this drama is worth watching and the ost is the best.

Why I Love Descendants of the Sun❤️❤️

If you are looking for a drama that has romance, action, comedy, and drama, then you should watch Descendants of the Sun. It is one of my favorite Korean dramas of all time and here are some reasons why:

- The chemistry between the leads. Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo play Yoo Si-jin and Kang Mo-yeon, a special forces captain and a surgeon who fall in love despite their different professions and values. They have amazing chemistry on screen and their scenes are full of sparks and emotions. They make you root for their love story and feel their pain and joy.

- The supporting cast. Jin Goo and Kim Ji-won play Seo Dae-young and Yoon Myung-ju, another couple who face challenges in their relationship due to their military backgrounds. They are also very adorable and funny together and provide a contrast to the main couple. The other actors who play the soldiers, doctors, nurses, and locals also do a great job in bringing their characters to life.

- The plot. The drama is not just about romance, but also about the conflicts and dangers that the characters face in a fictional war-torn country called Uruk. There are many thrilling and suspenseful moments that keep you on the edge of your seat. There are also many heartwarming and humorous moments that balance out the tension and make you laugh and cry.

- The message. The drama explores themes such as patriotism, duty, sacrifice, loyalty, friendship, and humanity. It shows how the characters overcome their differences and work together to help others in need. It also shows how they cope with loss and trauma and find hope and happiness in each other.

- The soundtrack. The drama has a beautiful and catchy soundtrack that matches the mood and tone of the scenes. Some of the songs that I love are "Always" by Yoon Mi-rae, "You Are My Everything" by Gummy, "Everytime" by Chen and Punch, and "This Love" by Davichi.

Descendants of the Sun is a drama that I would recommend to anyone who loves Korean dramas or wants to try one. It has everything that makes a drama enjoyable and memorable. It is a drama that I will never get tired of watching.

Tooooo harsh reviews for such a great smooth drama

Long time i didn't watch a drama that captured me that much

The first thing that bothered me a lot that joong ki was shot too much LOL

And the second was when they passed superficial through the second story
I wished they focused more on,
Cause i loved to know the details about their story really :(

What was really illogical for me when the ML and the second ML were shot and the director made u thought both were dead,
And then they brought them as captives only ... WEIRD ?

What made me fall for this drama was joong ki when he looked for hye kyo during the drama

His look made me happy ^_^
& when he was teasing her i loved him sooooo till the limit my eyes was getting out hearts

I found it fluffy, cute and amazing romantic drama through war and difficulties

A must watch for one of the best of it's time!

Honestly been so long since I last watched it... I agree with the first review on this, however, it was one of my very first K-Dramas and I have to say it made a pretty big impact on me. What else is to say, I love a good medical meets military show never seen that before so very interesting. Also, the main couple was so cute, sadly they did not live through the fantasy in real life which made me sad, but the drama is very good if you're looking for an honorary popular K-Dramas over the years.

Must watch

It's jus luv...I jus wanted that this drama won't end. The ML and the FL compliment each other so we'll. Their coordination, acting, chemistry is do good. Also the luv story of second lead is to good. Every concept is expressed so nicely. This is going to be on my top list among all the Korean dramas I have watched.
The relationship between a soldier and a civilian is shown so wonderfully that you can literally feel the happiness, the pain, the excitement, the love, the separation, the parting they go through.

Even the other characters are interesting, every character has their own story and views.


Do watch. Must watch.

Best drama with proper profession

This show is phenomenal! It was a perfect balance of action, thriller, romance, comedy, you name it...

I like Yoon Myeong-joo and Seo Dae-young storyline more than the main leads....they are so mature, understanding, patiently waiting for each other,they are simply flawless❤..

there are lots of funny scenes like when Kang Mo-yeon walks away after playing music and Yoo Shi-Jin comes and everybody heard her recording😃😃😃... also when Kang Mo-yeon received the gift package and Yoon Myeong-joo,Seo Dae-young and Yoo Shi-jin all three came running to her, oh my god that scene is really hilarious🤣🤣🤣🤣 also the soldiers morning merch😜🙈 there is also fun bromance that you can say they are partners for crime👬.
There is also an another one when Kang Mo-yeon came to the dessert on shi-jin's memorial day to leave the pebble and suddenly heard his deep voice( big boss transmitting...) oh it's given me goosebumps😭😭😭😭... This is the best scene ever🥺😢🥰...

All the actors carried their roles perfectly (including supporting). With a fantastic military background & a fabulous display of emotions, values & relationships.... this series really keeps you exciting throughout all the episodes, from start to end while pulling out various emotions from you & making you eager to look forward to see 'what's next?'. It was a whole package of comedy, romance, and action.... finally happy & sweet ending makes this series emotionally satisfying💞💖💖.....

I'm not saying in this drama everything was special but once you start to watch it you can't stop to continue. Th ending was so unpredictable to the point of making me feel at uneasy every time I watched the episodde they didn't left me any coiche other than praying for the happy ending because when i was a drama and got affectionated to the couple I want the hapy ending and also here the ending wasn't that bad no no no it was perfect I think but a lot of people complained about it but I can't understand why. The scenery's, music where really beatiful I mean every time I listen to the OST of this series I don't know why but get happy for no reason may be because I had more good memories of this drama than the negative sides

Alright this kdrama is one you have to watch, just for the sake of the hype.

I was not a fan at first. I don't love constantly changing environments and shady character development. Honestly this kdrama was kind of a mess when it comes to plot, especially the end.
BUT THE SUPOORTING COUPLE RUINED ME.
AND "EVERYTIM"E IS EVERYTHING TO ME.

Absolutely perfect

This drama is definitely one of our favorites from now on! The story is great, this mix between the military world and the medical world is very interesting, humor and emotion are present throughout, the sets are sublime, the setting and the production are perfect and what to say about the actors..Absolutely perfect !!
One of the few series where the viewer's interest is continually stimulated and where there are no dead spots.
We loved the romantic relationship of the two supporting characters, it was so touching and heartbreaking, well done to the cast. We enjoy seeing Kim Ji-Won in a role other than the one she had in The Heirs, a role that reveals her acting talents!
The complicity and the alchemy of the second leads burst the screen..
We liked the fact that they have so much stage and that they are not just in the background. The OST, just sublime, that We keep listening to in a loop.

A little bit of romance, comedy, military, hospital, bromance and drama. Some people did not like it but for me it entertained me allot. I like how they don't show the cliff hanger on the end of an episode but instead surprises you in the next episode. Of course, there are some scenes that are blah but it wasn't whole lot.
The second lead romance, you'd think was repetitive, but if you think about how a "soldier's honor" is... it does put allot of weight on the "right decision" and the angst of relationship.

The 16 episodes is just right and I am glad they did continue the story after the volunteering because it wasn't a long term deal so life has to go on.

Plus factor is that Song Joong Ki, is just eye candy and he looked really cool in his army uniform and doing all those action stuff (kinda like Healer).

It's not that bad but its not particulary good...I have no idea why it was such a sensation. It had a lot of flaws.
The main guy is handsome but theres really not a lot going on in this drama. I see some people mention there isn't a lot to SHG's acting and I agree. Some parts I really enjoyed but overall I was not that impressed. It was ok though. Totally overhyped and dragged on at times. I would only recommend to watch if you are bored and need to pass the time. There are better dramas out there.

I LOVED IT

After watching the last episode I wished there were more. It gives us a glimpse into military life in Korea and also a bit of the political side. The ML is one of my very favorites and he didn’t disappoint. FL was good but her whiny voice and screaming made me hit the mute button numerous times. Their chemistry is good so that made up for the whiny voice. There were two mainlove stories and the support male and female also had good chemistry. There are a couple of scenes that will make you teary. The scenery in the foreign country is beautiful. Overall it is easy watching and now Inhave to find something comparable which will be difficult. Did not give a ten because of background music which I found grating as well as FL whiny voice.
