A bit disappointing
So I started this drama because of the ML after watching him in Vincenzo, (totally wrong reason I know) but hey.I especially liked the whole shirtless scenes of the guys in uniform (yes girl here is sucker for a man in uniform)!!! and the whole sweat scenes, but after getting over all of that, this drama started to drag on, the FL was a bit annoying, the idea of this character being an outspoken female doctor who cares deeply about her patients, coworkers, and boyfriend was fantastic, but the actor's performance was not convincing. Rather than all of the positive aspects of her character that I mentioned, this actress's performance made the character come across as petulant in a way.
I knew the actors who played these roles were together after some research so i though i would have witnessed the love grow and see how they fell for each other, I did have high hopes for their chemistry, but I was disappointed yet again. but their relationship growth was quite complicated, and I believe it was due to a lot of going back and forth in the relationship.
The ML was not so bad, but the cheesy lines were putting off at times.

Une très belle œuvre. Un très bon moment.
Je viens de finir le visionnage de Descendants of the Sun et je n'arrive pas à me concentrer sur d'autres choses car j'avais envie de coucher par écrit mon ressenti, donc voilà, je m'y mets.L'histoire :
Descendants of the Sun Est mon 83ème drama et pourtant je l'ai dans ma « liste » depuis longtemps. J'ai attendu tout ce temps pour le voir mais je ne suis pas déçu.e, l'histoire nous plonge dans la réalité parfois crue que peuvent être les opérations spéciales de l'armée face à aux relations de la vie quotidienne et surtout l'histoire d'amour entre deux personnages particulièrement opposés dans leur professions : un militaire des forces spéciales et une médecin / chirurgienne.
Ayant dans mon entourage ultra proche, un couple ayant vécu quasiment exactement la même chose, ce drama m'a d'autant plus touché.e.
Descendants of the Sun Nous emmène hors des frontières de la Corée du Sud pour nous remplir les yeux de paysages magnifiques mais bien souvent entachés par la guerre et surtout par ses conséquences tant dans le paysage que concernant la population autochtone. On découvre donc et on est frappés en même temps par cette nouvelle vision du monde comme le sont les médecins et infirmiers qui débarquent sur place.
Les personnages :
On a tout d'abord le couple principal qui était mariés dans leur vie privée à l'époque ce qui explique le naturel de leur relation à l'écran. D'un côté nous avons donc Song Joong Ki (le capitaine Yu Si Jin) qui incarne un beau militaire qui a un sourire qui ferait fondre le permafrost et un sens de l'humour à tout épreuve et de l'autre, Song Hye Kyo (la professeure / médecin Kang Mo Yeon) qui plante le personnage d'une médecin dévouée à son métier et ses patients.
La mise en place de leur relation se fait petit à petit et donne lieu à plusieurs scènes très drôles surtout dues à la répartie de chacun des deux acteurs, seul points un peu négatif : j'ai trouvé que Kang Mo Yeon se posait beaucoup de questions concernant l'avenir de leur relation, alors j'admets que c'est un questionnement légitime et qu'il faut le faire mais, j'ai eu l'impression que le drama le faisait traîner en longueur et j'avoue que ça a commencé à me lasser, fort heureusement, ça s'est arrêté au bout d'un moment.
Le deuxième couple de cette histoire est incarné par Jin Gu (le sergent-chef Seo Dae Yeong) et Kim Ji Won (Yun Myeong Ju). Ici nous avons affaire à un couple de deux militaires dont l'une est également médecin. C'est un couple très différent du premier et qui est aussi bien développé (voire parfois plus) que le couple principal, les enjeux, caractères et situations diffèrent et cela enrichit d'autant le drama. J'ai beaucoup aimé le sérieux auquel le sergent-chef essaye de se tenir en toutes situations face à l'attitude parfois intentionnellement puérile et déterminée du personnage de Kim Ji Won .
Mention spéciale également pour la romance entre Lee Seung Joon (le docteur Song Sang Hyeon) et Seo Jeong Yeon (l'infirmière Ha Ja Ae) qui est toute mignonne et également particulièrement drôle.
Il ne faut pas oublier non plus les bromances et sismance (?) qui allie nos deux couples principaux en un quatuor d'amis qu'à priori rien ne peut détruire. A noter la relation grand frère / père de substitution qui s'établit entre Seo Dae Yeong et Kim Gi Beom interprété par l'acteur Kim Min Seok.
Enfin, à mon sens, il y a un personnage qui doit être cité ici pour son parcours initiatique et sa progression fulgurante tout au long de l'histoire et il s'agit de Lee Jin Ki ou Onew du groupe SHINee qui joue le rôle de Lee Chi Hun. J'ai découvert un personnage qui au départ paraissait être un rôle secondaire, voire tertiaire, lambda et qui pourtant, au fil des épisodes, a montré tous les changements qui pouvaient s’opérer sur sa personnalité, toutes les épreuves qu'il traverse (de façons parfois bien douloureuses) pour se réaliser en temps que personne et ce presque à l'insu de tous.
La réalisation :
Alors les scènes d'actions, de combat, de guerre m'ont bluffées bien sûr mais j'ai surtout adoré quand les personnages ( et surtout le capitaine Yu Si Jin) utilise leurs capacités quasi surnaturelles dans la vie de tous les jours du genre : tu prends les escaliers? Moi je passe simplement par la fenêtre du premier étage, en mode « c'est normal, tout va bien ».
J'ai également beaucoup aimé le fait de mêler l'humour au situations difficiles que les personnages rencontrent tout au long de l'histoire, ça permettait souvent de désamorcer la ligne de stress qu'on peut voir se tendre pendant ces moments qui auraient été plus lourds et durs en termes de visionnage.
L'OST nous accompagne de belle façon également tout au long des scènes, il ne me restera pas dans la tête comme d'autres mais j'ai trouvé les mélodies fort à propos des scènes durant lesquels ils étaient passés et très agréables à écouter.
Enfin, et c'est tout personnel, un énorme big-up aux colombes d'Uruk - ceux qu'ils ont vu le drama comprendront et pour les autres, regardez le, rien que pour ça, ça en vaut la peine - je dois avouer que le drama prend un ou deux points rien que pour cette scène qui se répète si souvent et qu'on apprécie autant à chaque fois.
Maintenant, à vous de vous faire votre avis.

This drama isn't overrated
So, I've read a lot of comments saying this drama is overrated and complaining about the storyline being too "boring". Now, this mihgt be my opinion but I honestly feel like this is one of the best dramas that has ever existed and if you and if you generally aren't into k-dramas that much, trust me, you'll find yourself hooked on this.This is very different from usual k-dramas, you don't find a k-drama talking about war, featuring blood or focusing on action as a genre in general.
The plot was amazing, k-dramas usually drag it so much you inevitably get bored at some point and end up skipping some parts of the show if not dropping it all together. Descendants of the Sun maintains a costant pace and not even a second could be considered boring as it's always filled with hooking moments and suspence which makes you wants to keep on watching the show even more.
As I was watching this series I took a moment to analyze the acting and if I told you that I got shocked... These are probably some of the best actors I've ever seen in k-dramas or dramas in general. They usually do too much and it always gets cringy at some point, mainly because of the female lead who just cries way too much or is simply annoying. And I'm not sorry for saying so because in my opinion, most dramas have always got the same damn plot. (Female lead bumps into male lead, love at first sight for the fl, she starts pursuing the ml, she cries at least 3 times in every single episode, at the end they get together and it's so cringe cause it's so unrealistic and they are just overdoing it too much with the acting). You can see that in Dots the chemistry between the fl and ml is pretty strong and you find yourself also hooked on the love story between the side characters. You find yourself in unison with the actors and you can clearly feel every emotion through their expressions.
The music is nothing else but perfect. When romantic scenes appear the music just fits so well, you find yourself smiling at the screen. And some of you might find those romantic scenes a little bit too cheesy but I don't think so. I like the fact that the ml and fl are straightforward with their feelings and the fact that their conversations are always full of inside jokes and humor makes the moment pretty cute and not tooth rotting.
If you are not that much of a fan of romance like me and are easy to cringe, I don't think this drama is going to be a problem for you and you'll find yourself enjoying it and actually feeling sad once it's over. You'll find yourself admiring the directing and longing for more cute convo scenes between the characters. Also, the English in this drama is literally perfect and before you starts judging you should remember that they are not native speakers, so if you feel like they are stretching way too much the words, they are really not. I had no problem understanding them and I really admire them for those English scenes.
I really recommend Dots and I didn't really know about he existence of the ml before, but after Song Joong ki's killer smile and blubby persona in the first episode, you can't really back out from the series anymore.

Story, comedy, emotions, story, this has everything.
When I saw the 21 pages of reviews, I thought I didn't need to make one. But here I am, because I can't get over this show.I won't say that this is freaking perfect, or anything, because it does have flaws, there were parts in the show I liked less than others, but I'll focus on the good points here.
The initial story is quite simple. A special force soldier and a doctor trying to find a way to love each other in the middle of chaotic evenments.
But it's well done. The introduction of the drama itself shows these colors. A serious / action based first scene, followed by a comic / funny one. This is a great description for the whole show. One second, you find yourself laughing / appreciating the leads, the next second you're crying your ass off. And it's reaaally nicely done. Even if I watched it four or five times already, I still laugh, I still cry.
This is taged as Action, Comedy, Romance, Melodrama. The action part is really good, the fights are insane, there's nothing to say on it apart than "this is freaking good". The comedy, I won't come back on it, it's nicely done. The melodrama tag isn't there just for the record. It really makes sense. And this is almost my fav part, I think. The romance is really nicely done. The way they try to find themselves, they try to make it work... It's not my fav part tbh, I can even say that now when I watch it I somehow skip the "only romance" parts. But I remember really liking it at first. And I still do! Just slightly less than the rest.
Yoo Sijin was the first role I saw Song Joongki in. And I fall in love in not even two seconds. Yoo Sijin is that character everyone can only love. And the haters just hate him for being perfect. He is handsome, funny but serious when it's needed, charismatic, a great leader, he takes care of the people surrounding him, he's hardworking, he knows how to do a lot of things, and is reliable in crisis situations. I don't think I ever found him annoying once through the entire drama.
Seo Daeyoung, on an other hand, is more secret, less talkative, more rigid. But still funny, caring, gorgious, and loyal. We need more bromance like this in kdramas.
Yoon Myungjoo is this slightly annoying character you can't help but love. She's a little bit arrogant, but talented, really directive, but also caring. Her rivalry with kang moyeon is really funny, and her love story is insane.
Which leads me to Kang Moyeon. My less favorite character in the lead cast there. She's intelligent, beautiful, loved bby everyone... but indecisive, and sometimes it annoys me. I understand why she acts like this, but I can still remember two or three scenes where I really wanted to shake her a little bit.
The musics are legendary. If someone still doesn't know them, you've been living in a hole I think, because I knew half of them before even beginning the drama. No, that's a great bunch of OST we have here.
I don't know if there's more I can say without spoiling everything. And this isn't a drama that should be spoiled tho.
So just... take a great breath, sit down, and enjoy the ride. Because this is gonna hit you hard.

I watched this drama on Viki and had the comments on for the first time in many many drama viewings and I remembered why I did not watch with comments on any longer. I think these were some of the most ignorant and down right childish comments I had seen in a drama. A lot of name calling and basically people bitching about our main female, which I happened to enjoy. I think it was a lot of teenage girls who had an intense crush on Song Joong Ki and didn’t understand the female characters choices, and I assumed many of them have never been in a real relationship to understand the choices someone has to make that may change their lives, so for that I would warn anyone who has never seen this drama to watch it on another site or without the comments on.
The acting in this drama was great, from the four leads to the small characters, the Korean cast of this drama were off the charts. Now I am not here to judge the foreign (non-Korean) actors and actresses in this drama because I know that even though they may be speaking English in their scenes that may not mean they are native English speakers, and many Non-Korean actors (non-Asian) have really weak lines and don’t seem to be well-trained actors and actresses in the first place, along with that I wouldn’t even begin to critique our Koreans for speaking English or another language along with them so to keep it fair I would only ever talk about our Korean or Asian actors Song Joong Ki has been a love of mine for many years and when he left to go to the military I was heart broken, and it is lovely to see him back in the drama scene once again. He definitely did not let down either, the boy is back and man his acting has upgraded some as well. I don’t know where they have acting lessons in the military or the fact that it has made him more of man (though he has always been rather manly to me) I am proud of him in this drama. He sweeps you away with his charm and when he takes charge and when he is cute and funny it is even more endearing. I have not seen Song Hye Kyo since That Winter The Wind Blows which is one of my favorite dramas, and she didn’t disappoint me here either. I thought she did a fantastic job of portraying a woman who is confused and has a lot of things she has to consider when going into a relationship with a man such as Yoo Shi Jin.
Now I know many people did not like her character but I found her realistic and had so much depth and I think she is the type of woman more dramas should portray. A hardworking female who has to consider her options and not just jump head first into a relationship that may cause her emotional harm, unlike many dramas where the female just jumps in head first. Jin Goo was also very good in this drama and his relationship with Kim Ji Won may have even out-shined our leading male and female. Both these actors did a fantastic job in portraying their characters and their story was very heartwarming and breaking. The rest of the cast from the soldiers to the nurses and doctors were all well put and we got to see so many side stories that one may think it would have taken away from the main focus of the show, but without them, there were would be so much less to this drama. Each character had a role that really felt needed for the drama. They all portrayed emotions and their characters to a T and I loved this cast so much, even our bad guy was great.
The music and cinematography for this drama were outstanding. So many good angles and transitions throughout this drama that really need to be praised. I found myself even more fixated due to that. The songs in this drama were also very good, they would get stuck in your head and you had to sing along. The songs brought more emotions to the drama as well, and I was happy to hear some great music in dramas after such a long hiatus from dramas.
Overall I thought that this drama was pretty freaking great, that I can see why it had so much hype for it. Now it was perfect, at all, but it was something that kept you on an emotional roller coaster ride to where you were emotionally attached to all of its characters and wanted the best for them and their lives and family and friends. For those who are in doubt about watching, the probably 3 of you out there by now, I would say hey give it a shot, its worth it.

La mejor que he visto
Muy buena serie, con dos muy buenos romances. Es simpatica y tiene un poquito de todo: accion, aventura, romance, comedia. Un amor entre un soldado y una doctora en cuales sus profesiones tienen obligaciones aveces opuestas. Eso sale a relucir en las varias situaciones en las que se encuentran, situaciones militares y situaciones medicas. El segundo romance es tambien muy bueno. Este es entre dos soldados, ella con un papa de alto rango y el de bajo rango en el ejercito. Me encanto la musica, con muy buenas voces.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Une daube!!!
Comment l'actrice principale peut être aussi mauvaise??? Les acteurs masculins sauvent ce drama! Mais franchement l'actrice joue mal et en plus son rôle est très mal écrit ( Comment un médecin peut-il se comporter comme ça en mission extérieure?) J'ai détestais cette daube. Je ne comprends pas ce que les gens lui trouve!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
