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.

Finalmente percebi o hype todo da altura
Primeiro de tudo, foi uma má decisão ter apanhado a boleia da KBS para ver os episódios. Devido a isso, demorei 2 meses para terminar.Notas sobre isto:
- O Onew passou o tempo todo a chorar, distraiu-me bastante durante os episódios;
- Deu-me ainda mais vontade de visitar a Grécia, ngl;
- Não conhecia o trabalho de ator/atriz quase nenhum, good experience;
- Red Velvet no último episódio, hilarious!;
- Não conhecia o David McInnis, papel excelente, fez-me odiá-lo imenso;
- Muitas das vezes dei comigo a comparar isto com Crash Landing on You, mas não vamos desrespeitar masterpieces!

Reviews don't lie!!!
I saw reviews about this drama and talked about it with people who had watched it so I watched like 10 mins of the first episode and i found it hard to comprehend so i dropped it but for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I went to try again and I LOVED IT!!!! The previous reviews before me aren't lying this drama is great.It kinda hard to understand at first but don't stop you'll see for yourself too especially for serious drama and movie analyser's (Aspiring Directors/Actor or Actress's) there's a lot to learn from the movie director techniques.

DOTS literally lives up 2 its FAME wid a dramatic, gorgeously-shot story and an even bigger heart!!!
I totally believe de strongest point of Descendants was the ensemble of solid actors & de cinemotography. Song Joong-Ki, who thankfully signed on for this drama after finishing up his army period, brings empathy & warmth 2 de role of Captain Yoo Shi-Jin. DOTS is 1 of those epic series dat pretty much has it all: action, comedy, dire moments, touching moments, heart-breaking moments, suspense, intrigue, romance, and some dynamite plot-twists to satisfy most viewers.//VERDICT// A gripping SJK kdrama cuz @ abt 20 min in2 the first episode, I had fallen head-over-heels in love. De funny thing is, the synopsis is not one I would immediately be drawn to. DOTS is a perfect example of how a melodrama wen done well can make an excellent connect wid de viewers without appearing 2 b over-the-top. It is both grand and subtle, larger-than-life yet grounded.
In de end, all I know is dat I loved these characters so much & I haven’t come across a show dat has made me so unabashedly excited & fangirly (the obsessive tumblr kind) in a very, very long time.
P.S & 2 cap it all, I adore de soundtracks too. My fav one is K. Will’s Talk Love which has been on loop 4 de last few months.

He lit up the screen every time he came on the screen regardless of the situation he was in - comedic, action or romantic. I've become a big fan of his along with the show. He executed each of situations (i.e. the phone flip) with ease and confidence.
The only non-10 score I gave was for the story just because there were some plot holes but they weren't so significant that you can't forgive them. I highly recommend this show if you are looking for great chemistry, confidence and a fabulous romance.

"Descendentes do Sol" esteve na minha lista de "Sem Interesse" praticamente desde o seu lançamento, mas quando ele estreou na Loading, eu resolvi dar uma chance pela graça de assistir um drama na TV aberta. E ainda bem que eu fiz isso.Desde o primeiro episódio, eu fui fisgada pelo drama e sempre ficava empolgada para o próximo episódio, em nenhum momento a história se tornou enfadonha. Mas isso também não significa que ela é perfeita.
Eu não consigo encontrar uma palavra melhor pra definir DOTS do que brega, as piadas, cantadas e cenas são todas bregas, mas justamente por isso, ele se torna divertido. O embate de egos dos protagonistas foi um charme especial nesse drama, amei como em nenhum momento houve uma crise de algum dos lados por alguém se achar insuficiente ou não merecedor um do outro, eles eram incríveis, se achavam incríveis e achavam um ao outro incríveis também. E os charmes não acabam em Mo Yeon e Shi Jin, todo o elenco secundário brilha a sua própria maneira e, pessoalmente, eu até prefiro o segundo casal em muitos momentos. Agora onde eu penso que Descendentes do Sol falha? No desenvolvimento da história, das secundárias, sendo mais específica. Ao assistir, é muito fácil se perder nas histórias dos casais e não notar tanto as brechas no roteiro, mas elas existem aos montes. Praticamente todas as histórias dos acontecimentos em Uruk não tem uma conclusão, o problema surge, a mocinha é salva e morre aí, a história é completamente esquecida. Para onde aqueles personagens foram? O que aconteceu com as outras vítimas? E os "vilões" que restaram? Não há uma resposta e isso é um pouco frustrante.
[SPOILER EP 16] Na reviravolta final, eu também não encontrei muita justificativa para o tempo de 1 ano se a prisão só durou em torno de 150 dias, mas nessa questão, dou um desconto pra que a cena do aniversário pudesse existir. [FIM DO SPOILER]
Em conclusão, essa review pode estar quase 5 anos atrasada, mas eu altamente recomendo DOTS para quem, assim como eu, ainda não assistiu até hoje. É brega, é bobo, tem umas falhas de roteiro, mas vai definitivamente ser divertido.

A classic!
Yoo Shi Jin and Kang Mo Yeon's first random encounter and then their love hate relationship, and then finally their adventure together was all very well done and fun to watch. I love Song Joong Ki as a actor and of course their chemistry was so real which made this drama even more interesting to watch. I loved the visuals, I loved the characters and OST! This was a very fun drama to watch! Definitely a classic in the kdrama world! :DVond je deze recentie nuttig?

Watched Vincenzo after this and I forgot I even liked this show before
It’s been three weeks since I watched this, but I don’t remember any significant episode that is unforgettable for me. However, the OST is excellent; the musical director deserves a raise. Anyway, I got hooked on this show because of Song Joong-Ki’s charms. Believe me, I’m not a fan of his, and I was really looking forward to the second lead guy, but Joong-Ki knows how to catch our attention with his charms.I gave it a 7 because the last part felt a bit rushed, and I think his character dying is irrelevant. Like, he died that easily and came back like nothingi happened?? That episode was so meh
