This drama for me is like falling in love with a guy you would never expect. It was a drama that wasn't on my radar but I decided to try it-out of the blue-simply because I adore Goblin (Kim Eun Sook writes some witty, amazing dramas!) When I watched it, it got me hooked unexpectedly. Granted it isn't the most perfect drama out there and the ending seemed rushed, but I fell for it nonetheless, making it one of my favorite dramas now.. It's surprising to me that despite Song Hye Kyo being the senior and more experienced actress, Song Joong Ki overshadowed her (I found her acting a bit lacking I guess?). Joong Ki was amazing here, possessing traits that make a truly ideal man. I especially loved that the characters' moral principles, patriotism, duty to country and humanity, and courage formed the very core themes of this drama and that the romantic relationship between the Special Forces Captain a.k.a Big Boss Shi Jin and Dr.Kang Mo Yeon revolved around these ideals. Furthermore, both leads are strong, dedicated and successful in their chosen fields. Isn't it amazing that the writers purposely chose the military and the medical professions to create a rather unique kind of conflict in a relationship? This made the drama gold for me. Not many dramas are like DoTS. No second lead pining after one of the OTP, no birth secrets, no manipulative in laws, no parental opposition, etc. which is refreshing. Not to mention, the cinematography is breathtaking and the production is stunning. I also love the OST. "Always", "Every Time" and "Talk Love" are constantly being replayed on my laptop.

Firstly I don't think I can ever stop rewatching this very sweet drama almost everything seems so perfect the Main leads Song joong ki l love the way he approached love his not a persistent type knows when to strike and that cute baby face of his always turns me on.
The second couple lieutenant Yoon at first that feeling she has towards Seo wasn't love to that's obsession she stepped herself so low, she got no self esteem.
That's for mine from me own point of view .
So if you're thinking weather to give this movie a try please do so and I bet you ,you won't regret it.

semua yang ada di drama ini pas banget di aku, sempurna banget . romance nya manis. dari awal mereka ketemu sampai sudah pacaran pun aku masih bisa baper. relate mungkin jadi si fl di awal, mau punya hubungan tapi si ml gabisa beri tahu apa pekerjaannya padahal si fl sudah melihat ml dijemput pribadi naik helikopter. ya aku kalau jadi si cewe juga pasti penasaran banget dan psti gamau berhubungan sama cowo yang gak jelas bagaimana kehidupan pekerjaannya, tetapi aku juga kasian sama bigboss:(tapi ya kembali lagi, ini tuh drama, ada aja ketidaksengajaannya, definisi jalur langit lah ya. mereka bertemu lagi di negara orang karena tuntutan pekerjaan. (scene bigboss turun helikopter legend bgt).
ya, pasti tau lah yang akan terjadi, they're fallin love, tapi si cewe masih denial sama perasaannya karena ada dua sisi yang bertolak belakang, di satu sisi dia suka tapi di sisi lain dia khawatir sama pekerjaan cowonya yang kemungkinan terburuknya adalah ninggalin dunia tanpa perpisahan yang layak.
tapi akhirnya si fl mau nyoba hubungannya sama si kapten dan ya sesimple itu sebenarnya alur nya. tapi karena ada bumbu pelengkap dan konflik- konflik, seperti anggota-anggota yang kocak, romance dari couple second lead, ngoperasi pejabat, penjualan anak, mencuri narkoba, gempa, ambil ahli berlian sampai virus mematikan, yang membuat drama ini jadi sempurna. seruuu deh pokoknya, degdegannya, komedinya, percintaannya, actionnya, semuanya kerasa banget.
bayangin deh drama dokter berkolaborasi dengan drama tentara khusus, yapasti pecah lah. nah semua kepecahan itu tertuang disini.
dan tidak ketinggalan juga OST dari ni drama, aku eargasm banget. candu deh. OST nya tuh melekat banget di drama ini. bukan hanya 1 atau 2 lagu doang, tapi ada beberapa lagu yang melekat sama beberapa scene. jadi kalau misal mendengarkan salah satu lagunya, pasti langsung bisa bayangin ini scene yang mana. TOP MARKOTOP DEH.

Un drama che mette in rilievo i valori morali e i ruoli di uomo e donna in comunione fra di loro
Un bellissimo drama , che racconta come l'uomo e la donna, ricoprendo ognuno di loro i propri ruoli, si completano e possono portare bene all'umanità.L'uomo, l'eroe di cui tutti avremmo bisogno e la donna, coraggiosa che sa stare al suo fianco malgrado le incertezze e le paure -
La brutalità del mondo non ferma i protagonisti che lo affrontano con determinazione, malgrado incertezze e sentimenti.
Il soldato e la dottoressa, ruoli che si equivalgono, indispensabili nella società ma solo se portati avanti con onestà e amor del prossimo.
I due attori protagonisti sono stati assolutamente credibili nei loro ruoli, Bravissimi! Lui atletico e performante, si direbbe nato soldato, in certi momenti mi ha fatto ricordare Tom Cruise in Mission impossible! Ha agito con naturalezza, non ho visto mai titubanze. Questo attore ha un grande vantaggio, ha uno sguardo che parla! comunica più di tante parole, e oltre ad essere molto bello, sa essere simpatico e non è cosa da poco.
Lei, la dottoressa, mostra tutti i lati della femminilità, l'audacia e la paura, il senso di protezione e la determinazione, ma anche la paura di affrontare un sentimento che potrebbe portarla ad affrontare una perdita. L'amore però va oltre e non importa il futuro, lei vive l'adesso.
Anche la storia della seconda coppia è stata interessante e ben recitata.
Tutto il cast è stato all'altezza, i cattivi sono stati cattivi quanto era necessario e non è cosa cosi semplice.
Un elogio alla fotografia, ci sono riprese degne di nota.
Un bravo al regista. E ovviamente a tutta la troupe.
L'unica cosa un pò fastidiosa, sono state le musiche, troppo invadenti e con testi che in certi momenti non erano opportuni. Ma ci si passa sopra perché il drama è davvero godibile.
Come vorrei che anche in Italia fossero all'altezza di fare serie tv simili, senza cadere in volgarità e nelle solite storie all inclusive che hanno proprio stufato
Un grazie come sempre ai traduttori

Warning! I love love love this drama so my review is going to be long! First of all, I can't believe I kept passing over this drama! I think I was reacting to the plot summaries I saw on Viki which led me to believe this was a drama about war. Yes, there are obviously soldiers and doctors in extreme situations in this drama, and yes I loved the action and suspense as these everyday heroes tackle hard situations. It is clear the director respects these professions and wants to show the challenge and perseverance it takes to tackle this hard work . I can't tell you how many people kept telling me to watch this and I just put it off for a rainy day. I am so glad I finally listened and just turned it on one night when I had nothing else to watch. Next thing I know I am binge watching it for 2 days and into the early morning. I actually was so sad when it ended that I immediately started googling everything about it. I became obsessed with everything about this drama. Apparently, this was a massive hit in Korea and I had no idea... I certainly was also surprised when I found out the 2 leads actually fell in love and got married after filming this. Even though they are divorced now their chemistry was off the charts in this drama.
I can't even began to explain how much I love Song Joong Ki after watching DOTS. He is just brilliant in this! His humor and natural ease in the character make you mesmerized every time you see him on the screen. He is boyishly charming, amazingly handsome and steals every scene he is in. He and Song Hye Kyo play off each other beautifully. He teases her and she is always reactive to him which makes for some of the funniest scenes I have every seen. SPOILER! (mine fields, cars wrecks and cliff confessions) They are so seamless with their dialogue and their timing with each other was perfection. They will have you laughing till you cry or holding your heart in every scene.
This drama has one of the best supporting casts I have seen in any drama. The characters are all well developed which is rare for a 16 episode drama. You will fall in love with the medic crew and become invested in their stories as much as the leads. The secondary leads Jim Goo and Kim Ji Won are a beautiful story line and completely different than the lead couples which makes a nice change of pace during the episodes. They are absolutely gorgeous together and stay true as a couple the entire time. Even in typical K drama fashion when one always is giving up something for the other...They always are thinking only of each other...sigh...
If the amazing acting, great script and wonderful characters (aside from the horrible European actors -which is why 9.5- why can't they hire better western actors in K dramas?) haven't grabbed your attention just wait for the breathtaking cinematography. The amazing locations and direction make this drama stand out from every other drama I have seen ,even Goblin(yes I went there)which I loved as well. I felt I was watching a Hollywood production rather then a 16 episode K drama. The story is great and the ending is just perfect! Oh, and the soundtrack is one of the best I have ever enjoyed...I can't hear "You are my Everything" by Gummy without thinking of this show. The OST is amazing and I would listen to any of these songs again..As I am writing this review I am re-watching it for the 5th time...and for sure not my last...just sayin...

It is a classic for a reason!
This was amongst the first Kdramas I saw. I found it a good mix of romance and action with a bit of humour.Although it did have some clichés and stereotypical plots and characters, I did enjoy the series.
This is the role I’ve seen SJK in that I liked him the most in.
Condisering this is such a classic, I should probably write a more detailed review, but instead I will say it like this:
It definitely helped me get hooked on Kdramas.

Cast - I loved the cast! They were so cute, The characters were cute too, though the female lead could be annoying at times.
Music - The music was awesome! One of my favorite parts of the drama, but they soon became repetitive, from being overplayed.
Re-watch Value - I don't know, it was very draggy at some points, entertaining at others. I generally don't re-watch though so that's why the value was low.
Overall - I would give it a 7.5 out of 10, for it being draggy, and annoying at times. The reason I gave it a higher score than it deserves is because of the cat and music.

Amori difficili ma per fortuna l'amore vince sempre.
Ho aspettato tanto a vedere questo drama perché non sono proprio una fan del protagonista però alla fine vedendolo ho capito perché questo drama è sempre tra i "must to see!"La storia non è tanto originale,solito amore difficile,solo l'ambientazione è un po' diversa,lui q un soldato da squadra speciale e lei una dottoresa un po' snob.
chiaramente si piacciono da subito ma una relazione sarebbe difficile con lui che deve perennemente scapare per qualche missione e così si incrociano innamorano e lasciano fin da subito poi il destino li fa rincontrare e succede un po' di tutto.
Per farla breve e amore e alla fine vince anche questa volta.
Ci sono poi le altre due coppie quella del dottore e infermiera simpatici e poi il tormentato amore tra un sergente maggiore e una dottoressa militare che è complicato ma grande e loro sono fantastici,ho quasi preferito loro!
Convludendo drama da vedere,bello,mai noioso e anche emozionante.Lieto fine anche se non proprio come avrei preferito.

Foi o meu primeiro kdrama, assisti no fim de 2016. Já não tinha tanto conhecimento sobre esse mundo de ''novelas Coreanas'' como dizem, mas foi DOTS que me impulsionou pra esse mundo.
Citando os pontos positivos: Posso dizer que cada episódio era de pular o coração pra fora, o elenco impecável (só atorzão bicho), a ost perfeita pra cada couple, o casal secundário super carismático assim como o principal, quando tocava aquele ''I looove you'' eu já começava a pular. Confesso que quando acabou, fiquei muito abalada, meu primeiro kdrama de todos já tinha me deixado assim, com deprê-pós-dorama.
O único ponto negativo, na minha opinião, foi o fim. Esperava algo mais esclarecedor, no geral o enredo foi ótimo e surpreendente, não tinha aquele episódio filler que te deixava com sono, mas não me conformei com aquele final meio tosco. Porém, o andar da história foi perfeito ao meu ver.
Continua sendo um dos meus dramas favoritos all time. Song Joong Ki e Song Hye Kyo lendas que venerarei pra sempre.

"We love a good parallel"
Let me start off by saying, I watched it long after the release and so many of the thoughts regarding this show were unknown to me. Before reading the other reviews, I thought it was a great love story between two opposites that find meaning in their work and stand firm in their beliefs. Then I read the reviews and my mind still hasn't changed.I will admit it isn't the greatest piece of art mankind has ever created and the hype was a bit much, but it definitely deserved to blow up the way it did.
Enlisting in the army is a big deal in Korea so it is a wonder why such a unique storyline was not made earlier. Second, we love a good parallel. The dynamic of the characters were great and really went beyond the romance to showcase the meaning of fighting for your country and the weight of a life. Many of us dream of becoming doctors and as we casually recite the oath, I don't think the weight of those words can be comprehended without the experience the character went through. Aside from the romance, you can take away so much more as the show has so many underlying themes and messages.
It was also just an overall good execution of romance and comedy. The bromance was great. There was no twisting love trapezoid and the story never truly strayed off track. The cheesy English jokes and clever pick up lines may have made others cringe but it brought out the personality and the relationship of the character so much more and made them feel real. People say that without this cast, the show wouldn't have been as successful and frankly, I agree (though not for the same reason). I don't think it was just the pretty face that made the show. The actors were good and executed the characters well. If you watch the bts, you will see that they truly understood what it meant to walk in their character's shoes. I couldn't imagine anyone else playing the respective roles. The acting and medical-related scenes were a little iffy and sometimes just complete nonsense but you can't expect them to be well versed in a field that requires years of study.
The ost was something else. Each track, combined with the perfect scenes, made the story so much more engaging. The emotions really came out. I usually only like one or two but the entire OST for this show rocked. If you heard one of the songs, you would automatically think of the show and that's a good thing.
I know the hype really ruined this show for many but if you just watch it with no real expectation or prerequisite then it is not as bad a watch as others will tell you. I say, give it a go, and if you don't like it then no harm, and if you do then great. As genres exist, not everyone is expected to like it. Try the tea and if you don't like it then try another flavor. If you find tea is just not your thing...then drink something else...?

Seriously, I felt like I enjoyed this as much as I did because the OST really made every single scene. I had heard the DOTS soundtrack before I watched it and already loved all the songs — I only ended up loving it more when I saw them in the context of the scenes.I had a bit of trouble separating the drama from the hype when I was watching it (in 2020). It felt like I should love it because the rest of the world loved it. Ultimately, I did enjoy it, but there are a few things that I think would have bothered me more if they were in any other drama that I'll still talk about.
So many English-speaking actors. I don't have an issue with English in dramas, but it's the side actors that they get — the ones that speak great English but are terrible at acting. It honestly takes me a little bit out of the drama, and for me, immersion is everything no matter what I'm watching.
With that being said, I never felt like the "Agus" plotline or any of the antagonists posed a real threat. I don't know if it was the acting or just the fact that their backstories weren't set-up strong enough, but the only real conflict that stressed me out was the earthquake and its aftermath, which I think was the strongest part of the entire drama and made me cry a river. The amount of tragedy and unpredictability surrounding that drew the most emotion out of me, whereas if it was the good vs. bad guys, I pretty much always knew the good guys would come out on top.
I felt like th time skip at the end was kind of the same issue that a lot of dramas have issue with — a last ditch, huge plot twist at the end that separates the characters. And while I don't think DOTS did it terribly, its set-up was also meh because you also knew that the characters would end up not really being dead.
Even so, I loved both ships equally (a rarity) and the romance on its own was very strong. You don't often see two characters that are so strong and independent on their own, and the way they bounced their conflicting career values against the love they felt for each other — it was really, really, really good., and I really appreciated how upfront, communicative, mature, and understanding they both were. The same could go for the second ship; it was inevitable that their roles and personalities would clash considering how headstrong they both were.
Now two other things that I did love about this drama were the bromance and the humor. Seriously, it has one of the strongest bromance relationships that I've ever seen in any drama, and it made for lots of laugh-out-loud and replayable moments. The humor was very evenly spread throughout the drama which made it a pretty easy watch despite its harsh backdrop.
