That was a real roller coaster!
I just want to say to those hesitating to watch... please don't. Those planning to drop because they found the first episode boring... just wait till you hit the end of the third. I know this because I personally took a break after the second episode for about three months until I saw some memes on Instagram about this and some clips so I started again. AND THANK GOD THAT I DID! I will break DOTS down into three parts:
Story: I have to say the story was quite original and really really well portrayed the struggles of balancing love and career very very well. Just a reminder there are two main lead couples! The story was unlike what I have ever seen and I have watched over 80 dramas. Many would complain about it being cheesy for what it is but it was very much needed as the action twists was a lot! I loved the entire M3 virus plot and the earthquake because these occur in real life all the time! I loved the message sent from this drama; Don't normalize feeling guilty or sad because it is very hard to move past some experiences, so a breakdown is completely acceptable. I cried so much during the death twist (dw it is a happy ending! I just won't spoil it) at the end because gosh I knew it was gonna happen but they really made it emotional! For the couples, both were endearing and sweet. All of the main leads were strong, capable but also kind and funny (I laughed a lot in this drama)! I am tired of typing about the story so I will move on but really to see if it is worth your time, just watch till episode 4/5 to decide.
Acting: The main leads were really well done! I have to say I enjoyed the supporting characters so much like so is no real villain (other than criminals), just people who the Main leads disliked. You must have heard or now you know that the main lead were in reality married (divorced now, unfortunately), but their chemistry in this drama was beautiful. I did find the FL annoying for being so confused about the guy like she proposed to break up when the guy literally killed his ex-best friend to save her like wth. But then that resolve in like the next five mins so I didn't really care. The second leads chemistry I liked particularly because most times it is the ML chasing the FL but in their relationship, it was FL convincing ML to start a relationship, but due to her father, the ML could really do nothing. The twist later where he chooses her despite the family issues was so good! Every character, in short, acted wonderfully and it really makes you feel like it's all real.
OST: So this will be short! The ost was great but I did think they could have chosen a more active pitched music for all the action scenes but ehh the rest of the two categories completely make up for this downfall so dw!
Anyway sorry for making it long but yeah those were my thoughts. I really hope you enjoy this series if you are watching it and if you are planning to, just wait till they separate and reunite at the volunteering post 8 months later!
