A Solid Watch To Fill Gaps In Your Viewing Schedule
The North South reunification is one of my favourite Kdrama genres. Each drama I have watched on this issue have provided a different take on the subject whether it’s sleeper agents, defectors, unusual happenings in the demilitarised zone, families hoping to reunite one day or just as a romantic or even comical back drop. So, I didn’t hesitate to start watching My Military Valentine.What I found with My Military Valentine is that it adds another dimension to the list of shows on this subject of reunification that is worth a look.
We have an idol who starts out as coming across as entitled and likes getting his own way. However, this quickly dissipates as we get to see the real Lloyd unfold. When he comes up against who will be his platoon commander and the centre of his affection, the hijinks begin.
Baek Young Ok Is a complex character formed by her military upbringing in the North from a young age. She has a deep grievance as a result but does her duty as required. Meeting Lloyd in essence opens the door on a world where she can maintain her serious pursuits but also let her emotions start to show.
Throughout its run, My Military Valentine explores each character’s experiences regarding the North. We get to see the sadness of experiencing loved ones lost, the hope for a better life in a city designed to bridge the reunification gap and a terror organisation hoping to bring the whole thing down. We even get to see a bit of “bromance among” the elite military team.
Lloyd and Young Ok are solid as the OTP. They have up and down moments due to others trying to get in the way of their blossoming relationship. At times, their interactions, thanks to Lloyd, are quite comical, even endearing.
Show has plenty of action and intrigue. It tries to keep you guessing as to who the bad guys are. Although I had some issues re the technical military side of things e.g. how snipers went about their tasks, I didn’t find show disjointed as some found.
I thought the shorter length episodes worked. Would show have benefitted from another episode or two? Yes. At the end of the day, show doesn’t take up too much time and is a pleasant way to fill in any gaps you have in your viewing schedule 🤩🤩

Better than the crappy reviews say it is
Just give this one a try. The asthetics are great, and as far as a good show to get into its good. If you go into this expecting Crash Landing you’ll be massively disappointed. Who does that? Obviously plenty of people. The concept is great. I don’t think the budget was massive but its executed just fine, and its light in parts not overly heavy. A good escape type drama without having to worry about too much. The chemistry is good also. Honestly I’ve watched some stuff lately that was a complete disaster. Just watch, enjoy and ignore the critical nonsense.Was this review helpful to you?
