descendants of the sun
our beautiful beautiful man song joong ki as armyman yoo shi jin and the fl song hye kyo as the doctor kang mo yeon. second lead couple, as usual, more widely shipped as always, seo dae young and yoon myeong joo.
admittedly, i was looking forward to military man x doctor trope vv much but i was not too happy with how they pulled off the main couple.
i. im sorry, but i was so used to ship vincenzo and hong cha young from vincenzo that my brain could physically not compute song joong ki with another woman. i know they were married BUT.
ii. the fl. my dear lord. so annoying. AT FIRST, i really understood where she was coming from. i truly truly understood her moral dilemma. but oh dear god is there not a limit to writers just having the fl find reasons to reject shi jin just for the sake of plot twists?
iii. BUT i really liked how they explored that dilemma about her protecting people by saving lives and him protecting people by taking lives. it honestly got repetitive tho, so that made me lose interest as well.
iv. one thing i gotta admire — the amount of depth they gave each character. every side doctor who came with the relief team had so much of a story, and it was made in a way that was not intrusive to the lead couple or even the second lead couple.
v. and ugh, of course, the badass females. i mean, the military doctor? she was peak badass. it did annoy me in that scene where the guys were sent a package by some girls and the two doctors went ballistic over that. but when they fought over that idiot college guy or whoever — idk, it irked me but all the well, we always love jealous protags.
vi. of course, a separate point for song joong ki. that man is a work of art. i used to think he’s got such a baby face when i started vincenzo, but by the last ep of vincenzo, i. . .really stopped thinking otherwise. but his performance was, as always, amazing, and i havent seen reborn rich yet but im excited. + the epic bromance, in competition with the goblin and the grim reaper.
in short, if you like hard to get girl tropes, some action mixed with drama, a LOT of second hand embarrassment, then please check out descendants of the sun.

“descendants of the sun” (2016)
i really can't decide who's really the worst character between Dong Eun's mom, the teacher or the killer of yeo-jeong's father ? 😭
