Did you people see the same film I saw?

Best movie ever!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

It is hard to review what is perhaps the most successful Korean Drama ever.This is a grand romance comedy drama action all rolled into one series. It became a phenomenon in Korea and across Asia and the "Kdrama" world. In the process reviving the "Hallyu" Korean wave and generating a massive wave of tourism to Korea, recruits for the Korean army and even impacting vernacular speech in Korea.So how do you review such a massive blockbusting success?It begins with a genuinely heartstopping action sequence that will become a key element in the resolution of the drama and then switches to a typical Korean romantic comedy. Boy meets girl... girl instantly hates him... but we all know how it will end.Our hero is a special forces soldier and our heroine is doctor. Fate sees them thrown into a war torn fictitious country (actually locations were in Greece in some rather stunning locales).There is, as is usual a buddy to our hero who has relationship with the general's daughter and father does not approve. You know the sort of thing.Descendants of the Sun is not that original in its plotting but it has heart on a giant scale and a cast the is exemplary.And fate threw in a bonus that no-one could foresee. The genuinely beautiful Song Hye Kyo and her co-star the handsome Song Joong Ki fell in love ultimately marrying in 2017.Despite the sometimes trite story line and the unlikely elements in the plotting at its core it is a love story. And this is what becomes more and more genuine as the series progresses.It is the key romantic scenes between the two leads (and also those of the second couple of Goo Jin and Kim Ji-won) that set the screen alight.The scriptwriters have created dialogue that rings true and the actors bring it to life brilliantly. At times funny at times deeply romantic it is this that lifts Descendants of the Sun way above the ordinary and certainly above much that Hollywood has produced recently.So sit back and let the story flow and just enjoy the romance, the comedy (which is at times really funny and I don't find Korean humour usually that funny) and the action which is pretty intense at times.Descendants of the Sun is a great ride.And the ending? Well let's just say Vancouver and volcanos take some beating!

This drama has a little bit of everything in it: romance, action, adventure, drama, and comedy! I will definitely watch it again. Great storyline, awesome cast, beautiful soundtrack. It couldn't have been more enjoyable!!! Definitely one of my favorites and a fine example for why I love watching Korean drama! Watch it. You won't be disappointed.

It's quiet frustrating me how the situation is a bit complicated. This is over the top dramatic but at the same it's flipping good you won't regret shedding tears for it. The chemistry of joong ki and hye-kyo in a scale of 1 to 10 would be 7 like they aren't that bad but they aren't that good neither but to top it all the story is good.

I watched it and it's seriously addictive!! I haven't seen a lot of war dramas so I can't scale it or compare it, but I can tell it's got a good plot and characters. This is the type of drama that has potential and the writers know how to fully unlock that; hopefully they'll even surpass my expectations. The story flow is great so far, with emotional yet playful chemistry between the two leads. Can't wait to see how this will turn out :).The chemistry between the leads are just so good. But I have this bittersweet feeling; definitely something tragic is about to happen and idk if my heart can handle it . I hope they don't bring some IsIs sh*t in to this drama or calls the afghans terrorists cuz' we've had enough of that already and there is no reason to confuse people even more.
