I can't believe it's over already! I got so attached to all the characters that I'm finding it hard to pull away lol. I decided to watch this after finishing Road No.1 - and I'm glad I did. RN1 would be a story mixed in with the actual events, Comrades tells a story about the people involved in the war - I loved both of these dramas in slightly different ways - One thing they have in common (besides the same war) is the BROMANCE - I love bromance and I always look for it in dramas I watch. This drama will make you so attached to the characters you won't be able to pull yourself away. < It's that good. using someone else's words: *it depicts true brotherhood & friendship. Story: Comrades shows you what it's like being in a war, what you can go through and experience, whether good or bad. The fear of death, the deaths around you, the friendships built and lost, learning the true meaning of what a soldier is, and never leaving a comrade behind. I like how this drama showed us not only the people from the South but also the ones from the North - how it showed that we are all people, and we all have feelings and people that care about us. Cast: I fell in love with the cast! <3 Choi Soo Jong (Sergeant Lee) - One of the main reasons I decided to watch this drama, he was my favorite out of all the cast, his character was honorable, trustworthy, loyal, honest, sacrificial and fatherly - He really loved his 'boys' <3 Jung Tae Woo (Cheon Sungil) my 2nd favorite character - he was the soldier who didn't want to be a part of the war, he didn't want to kill and didn't want to be killed - he just wanted to go home and I just wanted to save him. I nicknamed him my puppy <3 He looks a lot like Choi Soo Jong - so much so that they could be father and son! I loved every single one of the comrades: Juyong, Taeksu, Beumwoo,& Il Kwon were my favorites but I also enjoyed the rest. Another actor that made me want to watch this drama was Lee Tae Ran (I became a fan of hers after watching Famous Princesses) - she has a sort of backstory love relationship with Sergeant Lee - I liked her in the beginning even if she was on the "bad side" but towards the end when she re-appeared I got really mad at her character - until a few minutes towards the end when I pitied her. > The cast did a wonderful job pulling the emotions out of me - I cry even just thinking about it lol Music: Chinguyeo (Friends) by Kim Jang Hoon & the version sung by the cast were my favorites songs <3 I will Come Back by Insooni - I really started to feel this song during the later episodes of the drama. & Requiem for the Unknown Soldiers by Gloomy 30's - all the instrumental songs were perfect for it too. Re-watch Value: 10/10 I want to re-watch it already - I'd definitely recommend anyone and everyone to watch this drama.
