This is my first drama with Song Joong Ki. His baby face never appealed to me (like watching kid) so I often skipped his dramas. Well, his role in Descendant's of the Sun really turned me around. He was so cool and so sweet, what a great boyfriend he made. My friend's kept telling me the high ratings for this drama was due to the "romance" and the "flower boy". In my opinion, it is so not true. Yes it is about, love, but is also about friendship, sacrifice, honor, and in general the strength and weaknesses of being human.

This drama had a little Iris, a little City Hunter and a little ER all in one. Really good chemistry between the main couple. But the secondary couple also had a wonderful story line as well as great chemistry. Some really moving moments between both couples and some really funny light hearted moments as well. The supporting casts were also really awesome. Great acting from everyone.

Awesome OST, read that it hit the music charts hard in several Asian countries.

As much as I enjoyed the romance of this drama, it also made me think of the danger and sacrifice that our own real life service men and women face for our countries. I also appreciate the many doctors that volunteer all the time for Doctor's Without Borders.

A very well done drama, worthy of the buzz and the high ratings it received. I loved Song Joong Ki so much, I looking into more of his dramas. INNOCENT MAN is looking really good.

Definitely, a must watch if you watched Descendents of the sun. This is a nice and well-needed conclusion. It gives you more than just the drama and more time with the characters that you learn to love while watching the actual drama. This episode gives you a chance to get to know the actors and actresses a little bit closer, see their work and get to know their experience of making this drama. It gives you additional screentime for watching Joong Ki's beautiful face and watch his wonderful acting.

Saruman approves!

I don't trust the reviews that gives 10 at everything because they're blinded by the hot guy/girl combo and lovey dovey scenes that happens every 10min in one episodes

So I'm gonna try and be objective

STORY - a good concept of a story, love story between a UN soldier and a doctor that helps those in need in other country...the initial plot was decent enough but it starts from a duty/responsibility vs romance to a complete romance story

The villain was actually menacing at the beginning, you don't know what he'll do but at the end, his intention was known and you left with a question "uhh...that's it?"

He was sold as a big mastermind behind almost everything but at the end he turned out disappointing with petty survival motive.

The main casts were good enough, but I feel I just don't buy some of their character's progress direction is in terms of their love story progress...

I expected a more professional approach by them especially the male soldier and the female medic...Their love story doesn't feel military professional-ish since there should be ranking and respect involved but they barely touch that...

OST - generic music that you hear often in dramas

The biggest issue is how they try to milk the love/tragedy incident a number of time especially towards the end...it was good the first time and maybe the somewhere in the middle, but at the end, where everything was calm and collected, the director/writer threw a curve ball and decided to make it tragic again...then happy again as if they can't decide between the two...

I don't want to spoil it by telling what it was but for those who already watched it should know what I'm talking about

Rewatch - there's a lot better dramas out there with good love story than this, for me, I won't revisit this unless I'm out of dramas to watch

This was a great episode that was an essential to wrap up the whole series! It was fun getting to know the actors from up close and especially getting to know their thoughts on their characters and the story as well. The bloopers and reactions were heartwarming and funny.
Thank you everyone that made this drama happen! Saranghabnida! ~
