I watched this only b/c my Unni wanted 2. She is totally in love w/ So Ji Sub & I totally get that b/c he is hot. But OMG it was a strugle 2 get through. It was a good drama w/ a good story, but man that shit got real @ times! I can deal w/ it, but some ppl won't be able 2 handle all the trama that the characters face. There were some things that just pissed me off about the story, like the last episode. & y do the writers always make the "smart" female lead do stupid shit like run out in the middle of a gun fight. I mean come on, u make all this "real" shit happen then all of a sudden they make her do something that no person would ever do. Anyways, the acting totally killed (except some scenes w/ the American troops)! I was totally blown away by the acting. I also loved how the characters r not ashamed 2 show their emotions. I was filled w/ so many emotions that I had 2 take a few days of a break in order 2 finish it! I will most likely never watch this again simply b/c of the strong emotions felt & the mental trama that is felt through the charactes. I suggest that others watch it b/c there is an excellent story there, but be prepared 4 the difficult emotions b/c like I said b-4 this shit is like real! It will totally get 2 u & make u feel like u understand what soilders go through in war-time.
