Rewatching this for the third time and I'm once again reminded of how great this drama is. The actors did an amazing job, and the humour is peak. I love it sm.

hahaha ikr, it's truly a classic at this point.

Yay, happy watching! The second couple's romance is really cute too, even though it can be frustrating at times. Just be prepared for some truly dramatic scenes, because it does involve secret military operations and the like, and when have those plotlines ever been realistic to begin with lol. But I'm assuming since you liked Healer, you'll enjoy DOTS too :)

I'd highly recommend DOTS if you enjoy romance, medical & action dramas. The leads have amazing chemistry and the action scenes were really entertaining (I might be *slightly* biased however considering I've loved it for about a decade now).

This was a pretty solid short series. The characters were written well, with believable flaws and character growth woven into the story. The plot was interesting with a good balance of romance and action imo (I'm a sucker for a good gang/mafia/yakuza plot). I came looking for a kdrama with fluffy feel-good romance as well as some mystery, and it definitely delivered. The comedy was a great added bonus. The actors did a really good job, and I especially loved the fight scenes. Sure, this drama definitely could've been about 2 eps shorter, but I didn't dislike the added material in the end, although I did predict the "plot twist". There were also some minor plot-holes, but I didn't mind them. It was wrapped up well and I'm looking forward to seeing Jung Hae In's future works.

On a different note, this drama made me realise how low my standards have gotten when it comes to shorter dramas, because the acting and production caught me off guard a bit lol. I need to lay off the cheap short romcoms.

She gets them back at the very end of episode 8.

Healer and Descendants of the Sun!!

Love your review, and the Kenpachi reference lol. Haven't thought about Bleach in years! I'm really enjoying the ML steadfast character too, and how the FL balances him out.

ahahaha I swear, it's truly a mystery.

You've so eloquently put into words everything I felt about this drama xD

I had such high hopes for this drama, ugh. Skimmed eps 5 through 10, and just barely managed to watch the last 2 for the sake of finishing it. All that potential, wasted. It wasn't a terrible drama, but simply doesn't justly deliver what it promised. Perhaps if one goes in with no expectations, you might enjoy it more than I did? ML's character growth was wonderfully executed, and the baby was adorable AF. They just butchered the FL's character growth by making her focus more on romance over being a parent to her new kid. In this situation, it would have made more sense for the big hurdle in the progress of her relationship with the ML to be her wanting to stay focused on Woo Joo and her new job, thus making any romantic relationship a massive distraction, especially with a co-parent. I dunno, anything would have been better than the love triangle smh. The ending was cute tho.

I finally got around to watching Doom at your Service and was pleasantly surprised by the lack of a love triangle! (at least for the main leads. There's a love triangle between the 2nd FL, 2nd ML & his friend but it was pretty lowkey). I also loved how authentic the interactions between the main leads were. Highly recommended :)

ikr, same! I came here to double check bc it's hard to believe that this drama only has one ep left, given how absurd the preview was.

The last "big battle" was pretty underwhelming, however I enjoyed the series as a whole. The ending was satisfying, given how they didn't pursue a vaccine, but rather learnt to adapt and coexist with the "virus".

Technically the manhwa is complete (just ended a few weeks ago actually), but the side stories won't be out for a while, it seems. However, the main story has concluded and it has a satisfying ending imo.

yeah its a shame how they left her future uncertain (at least to us). They didn't pace the series properly so the ending did feel a bit rushed *sigh*

I don't think its likely since the ending felt pretty complete and satisfying. It's also been 2 years since it ended and most kdramas (esp in this genre of romcom/slice of life) don't get sequels. I do think I'm happy to move on from it though, since it ended well and a thoughtlessly-made sequel often does more harm than good.

This series was brilliant! So glad I finally got around to it. Park Shin Hye slayed so bad, I was in awe. Legit rewinded some parts just to fully take in her facial expressions and manner of speech, it was *that* good. The rest of the cast did so well, I didn't find anyone lacking. Also really enjoyed the realistic gore and revenge scenes. Excited for season 2!

Yeah I was thinking the same. Most anime to live action adaptations are massive trainwrecks, and I understand that this is based on a manhua, however fantastical elements are rarely adapted well and it's mostly where LAs fall short. I absolutely loved the anime tho so I'll probs give it a go when it's released.
