Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
novi-70810 Love Song Song Couple. Their chemistry is absolutely good. Their acting was perfect. Song Ji Hyo is look like a real doctor. But the ending was dissapointing
spasek Descendants of the Sun is one of those epic series that 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.The series tells the story of a South Korean special forces officer, Yoo Shi-Jin (wonderfully portrayed by Joong-ki Song) and the civilian medical doctor, Kang Mo-Yeon (Hye-Kyo Song), whom he develops feelings for. So, how does a man, whose job is to take lives in order to protect others, makes a relationship work with a woman who is sworn to save lives, no matter who they are or what they've done? That is one of the central themes of the series as well as Dr. Mo-Yeon's constant grappling with her heart over a man who is always putting his life on the line. Joong-ki Song brings a wit and charm to the very likable Yoo Shi-Jin. He never takes things too seriously except when the people he cares about are in danger. He has a wonderful sense of humor. He, and best friend, Sergeant Seo Dae-Young, seem to get into trouble a fair amount, leading to some fairly humorous situations. The equally charismatic Dr. Mo-Yeon is a woman dedicated to her work. She has dreams of becoming a professor but quickly finds herself in a situation that sends her and her medical team to volunteer in the war- torn fictional country of Uruk. What makes Descendants of the Sun special is that it never gets bogged down in melodrama. It never takes itself too seriously, but delves just deep enough to care about the characters and what might become of them. While there are a few tense situations, the series is equally light-hearted and, most of all, sweet. I can see why so many people around the world have quickly become enamored with the series as well as with its characters. There are enough moments to make you laugh, make you cry, as well as make you wonder and hope if it is possible for two characters in seemingly opposing professions to be together. It's a fascinating character study into this dynamic. I have only recently gotten into some Japanese and Korean shows, and for me, Descendants of the Sun is easily my favorite. In fact, after over 40 years of watching TV shows, I put this one up among the very best that I've ever seen.
MovieObsezed Descendants of the sun (DOTS) is absolutely my favorite kdrama and is what got me hooked onto kdramas. There are several reasons for this - spectacular locations with great cinematography, amazing soundtrack and the perfect cast. The cast was especially impressive in their acting abilities and none of the actors disappointed. This is one of the few Korean shows where the subplots are just as enjoyable as the main story. The pacing is also good and I did not need to skip through any of the scenes. Although there are a few implausible moments, it is a riveting drama and definitely worth watching (preferably on a marathon)! I would give it a 9.5/10, mainly because it is exceptional in its genre.
Ashwini Nadar The story is good with good cast. The starting episodes I felt it boring but towards episode - 5,6 it took a turn. The first lead pair chemistry I did not feel it as great as people say instead I would prefer second lead chemistry. The lead actress was shown and told as some angel or Cinderella but i did not feel that. Some of the episodes in the middle were bit boring and draggy. I loved the attitude of the villain David. I expected too much from this drama because of its high rating and all but it was not to that point. It was talked more than dramas like You who came from the stars, Healer, etc.... Due to these things I expected too much from this drama and felt a bit disappointed. Somewhere deep down the line is felt the story was predictable except the last episode. The OST of the drama was super. I would give it a 7/10 rating for storyline.
