I started to watch this drama as its on going since 1st episode. It's all because I just watch Memories of Alhambra in Oct 2019 and fell in love instantly with Hyun Bin. And suddenly CLOY trailer popped up on youtube. So yeah, I've been waiting this drama since October 2019, and here's my reviews after completing it:1. Story (8.0)
The story is well developed but I feel this drama will be awesome if the total episode is 20. I must say many plot holes. Until the very last episodes, I don't know the real motives of CCG. Yeah maybe because he's actually nobody in the storyline, but I interested to see who he really is. Why RJH's father shoot the man in episode 16? Also, I would love to see how YSR & her mom made up.
Meanwhile I love the idea of having epilogue in every episodes. I do love the theme about fate. No matter how far your loved one goes. If he/she really means for you, they will always find a way back. It's not a heavy neither light drama. It's in the middle. It's just enough.
A bit suggestion to the writer maybe on episode 16, she can put how RJH find YSR. I think it's gonna be fair since she shows how much effort YSR put to go find RJH.
What I really love about this drama is actually, not only the main leads are super sensational and good in acting, but also the supporting role do their job excellently. F4, Man Bok, and Ahjummas are forever be the "squad I would love to hang out with". Also how director, writer and staffs try to portray North Korea but in a heart warming way. As I know, they really do some researches from NK defectors. I admire this teams hard work and it was payed off when they hit 21% rating on their last episode.
2. Acting/Cast (9.0)
a. Hyun Bin
No one can replace him being RJH. No one. Having military service in Marine, he really is RJH in real life haha Not to mention he also not the kind of flowery-handsome but more of manly-handsome (?) not to mention I love his acting.
b. Son Ye Jin
I love her acting. Everytime she's about to cry, so am I. She really is Melo-drama queen.
c. Seo Ji Hye
Great work for potraying cold Seo Dan. I just realized she is the villain in 49 days. And yes, her visual fits the image of Dan.
d. Kim Jung Hyun
Besides Memories of Alhambra, I also watch Eulachacha Waikiki. And I love Jung Hyun's acting as well. He's so good potraying his roles whether in EW or in CLOY. And wow, he's the youngest actor who can keep up with his sunbaenim. Respect.
3. Music
Last time I love all ost is when DOTS's airing back then in 2016. And now, CLOY also has a good line up for the OST. This drama has 11 ost (10cm, Yoon Mirae, Davichi, Baek Yerin, Crush, and even IU). I love how every song fits the drama moods & situations. I even make my own spotify playlist for this. 3 out of 9 ost are happy ost. Meanwhile the rest of it is kinda mellow. When you read the lyric, you'll feel happy but sad when hear the melodies. Besides ost, there are some instrumental parts on their album. I love the opening title and RJH's song for his brother.
4. Rewatch
Yes. since I can't move on. But still this drama will be kept in your heart once you watch it.

This drama is totally about love life of a soldier and doctor who fall in love at first sight. All the dangerous things that they'll go through together and how they love story will end up that's what this drama told about. I rate it at 9 because the writer wrote the story way too good. It's light story, entertaining. Well that's the reason we watch drama rite? To be entertained :) This drama includes many cheesy lines which told in different way. One of my fave is "Should I apologize or confess my love?". I rate it at 9 because I read article about the reason why Kim Eun Sook and Kim Won Seok decide to not put triangle love inside it. I thought their decision was right. I'm totally bored with classic love story k-drama which is the main character will hate each other first and then they'll fall in love, or chaebol love story with triangle love. DOTS offers you something different and fresh. You'll regret if you missed it. (everytime you end one episode you'll be curious about what happens next, the production team edited the preview in smart way. so when you already start you'll never stop haha :p)
Cast :
- SJK : This is the first time I watch his drama and he totally steal my heart. He worked so hard to play YSJ. I mean he struggles on every single action scenes without stuntman. Even he got injured a month before last shoot and tried to started again 2 weeks later. His decision to pick this drama as his first project after out from military was right. Definitely right. He's good at acting. I'm waiting for his next project.
- SHK : I admire her acting quality. She brings out the emotional side of KMY way too good. I even can cry when tears came out from her eyes. She's definitely not just beautiful but also good in acting. I'm also waiting for her next project.
- JG : I never knew him. I mean he never showed up in drama that I watch. I thought he hasn't married yet hahaha He also will be a shining star this year. He did a good job to play SDY :)
- KJW : Yoo Racheeeeel! I ever watch her acting in Heirs. But I don't like her character and heirs's plot (sorry kim eun sook). But KJW as YMJ? She's perfectly got it. She even cut her hair to become a woman soldier. I'm waiting her new drama with Seo In Guk :)
For conclusion the cast of DOTS is the best cast that a drama could have. I have no hesitate to give it 10 out of 10.
OST :
I watch many drama before DOTS. But having all of the OST on my playlist and repeat it in every my spare time? Only DOTS's OST can do it. This drama also has best ost I ever hear. All of it was easy listening and perfect. My fave is K.Will Talk Love and Chen,Punch with Everytime.
Rewatch Value :
Even when the drama hasn't finished yet I watch last episode while waiting the next one. So it's definitely 9 out of 10 to rewatch.
Overall this drama was good for you who wants to be entertained by light story. Who needs cheesy things but not the cheap one. Who needs jokes to release your stressful feeling. Who wants to see how SJK acts as cool and cute soldier :)
HAPPY WATCHING!
