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!

One word: hooked.
If you're looking for a drama that will keep you hooked then don't hesitate! This one is so good! I LOVE this drama. It's one of the BEST kdrama I have yet to watch. Usually whenever I watch kdramas I always have to fast forward/skip some parts but in this drama I never had to because the pace omg... I love it. Please. I LOVE dramas with a quick pace! This drama is fabulous and IT'S NOT OVERRATED AT ALL.Story: PERFECT. How did they ever think of such a good plot line? When I first saw that it was a soldier and doctor's love story I was like uh, this is an interesting mix but once I got in the drama I was like THIS IS GREAT. No plot holes. It was HILARIOUS and ofc it has your typical cheesy kdrama jokes but it was cute because it suit the main character's personality. I love how they remained consistent with their personalities because you can really see the development of the characters easily that way. It was brilliant and it flowed perfectly. It had a lot of English in it and there are foreigners in it which makes everything feel more realistic since it is about soldiers. I don't know how a blend of genres like this could happen but woooow it did and it's great! Oh and I usually HATE KDRAMA ENDINGS but wow this ending... please bring it on and make a DOTS2 lol. I WANT A DOTS2.
Acting/Cast: I'm just gonna be real lol... I watched this drama because of the cast. I have always been a fan of Song Joong Ki after Innocent Man, Song Hye Kyo (her beauty), and Kim Ji Won (her beauty). I never knew Jin Goo though but wow he's such a good actor. Onew was good as well. The cast did well and are a huge part in the reason why this drama came alive to me. I don't think any other actor would be as fitting as Song Joong Ki for Big Boss. The chemistry between the the 2 Songs (hah) were cute but I personally did not find them as cute as Jin Goo and Ji Won. THEY WERE PERFECT TOGETHER. Their love was so painful and trust me, they make you feel the pain. Whenever they were together my heart was warm and whenever they departed it hurt. Overall I loved the cast, I don't think this drama could have been this good if it had a different cast. If you watch this drama prepare to laugh and cry. I love it. Oh and just one last note, all of the cast are in their 30s besides Ji won who is 23. Just an impressive note.
Music: I. LOVE. ALL. OF. THE. OSTs.
Rewatch Value: I don't tend to rewatch but I might for this one... but I think giving us a DOTS2 would be better hey...
Overall: I have nothing more to say besides I WHOLEHEARTEDLY RECOMMEND.

Yuck!
I'll admit that I initially really enjoyed this drama. However, after watching it the second time, I thought it was way too cheesy to be enjoyable. The relationship dynamics between Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo in the drama, much like in real life, were too convoluted and I honestly thought that it was quite a toxic relationship. No communication, just petty tantrums here and there. Like why the heck are you getting mad at someone who's risking his life to save your ass? On the other hand, I much preferred Jin Goo and Kim Ji-won's relationship dynamics as it just seemed to be a more accurate portrayal of a relationship.In terms of the story, I guess it was okay. But I didn't like the way Song Hye-kyo's character was portrayed. To me, her character just seemed dense, reckless, ungrateful, and toxic. It's like the directors were pushing for a strong female lead but it just completely fell through. If anything, Kim Ji-won's character was way more likeable.
The only redeeming thing about this drama was that the OSTs are pretty nice and well-placed throughout the drama.
In summary:
What i liked - Onew
What i disliked - Song Hye-kyo
Star of the show: ?
Rating: 6/10
Watch if you like toxic relationship dynamics

For a drama to be a 10 for me it isn't that it's perfect no media is perfect. It's how engrossed I was in the story that I didn't notice or care about the faults. And this show just had me from the get go. The story was extremely charming and the relationship of both the main leads and the side characters were well developed and made me really route for them.
The acting was great they got really amazing actors for all the characters.
This show has one of my favorite OST's of all time even if you have no interest in the show I would highly recommend the OST.
