Descendants of the Sun

Peace be upon to all...yeah, as the title above..the highest rating drama of the year! I am one of the hardcore fans of this drama. How to describe this drama? they aren't like extravaganza drama, but I guess this is the first time they used the concept of the story where it involves medical field and armies. This drama was about a soldier, Captain Yoo Si Jin,  who really loves his country and would do anything, including sacrifice himself if it could save Korea. One day, he fell in love with a doctor, Dr. Kang Mo Yeon, who busy struggling for a better life with her profession and to her, saving the patient's life was a part of being a doctor. At first, their love didn't develop much due to the obstacles between their profession which limits their relationship. Not until Dr. Kang is kicked to the Uruk by the CEO of the hospital for volunteering works. They have met an eye to eye when Captain Yoo and the Alpha team are the peoples whom escorted the medical team to the base camp. Then, I would say every day is a brand new day for them with more and more interesting moments. Finally, the journey in Uruk has changed Dr. Kang's perception of her profession as a doctor and she has done a very good job as what she vowed when she was a medical student through the heartbreaking earthquake scenes in Uruk. She slowly began to accept Captain Yoo love through the journey she went through with him. From the moments of saving the Arab President's life, the earthquake tragedy, almost died from an accident, trying to save Fatima, until to the nerve-wracking fight with Argus (Captain Yoo's best friend once upon a time). I thought when they returned to Korea, they would have a normal life. However, it's getting more and more tense where Captain Yoo is having more responsible in protecting the country. Until all of us heard a shock news about the death of Big Boss and his comrade, Wolf. Well, that's the climax of this drama so we as viewers will treasure the hero. Another couple plays important roles in this drama was Sergeant Seo and Dr Myeong Ju couple. They played as a cool couple with the obstacles from Myeong Ju 's father, the Head of the Army. Not forgotten the great other characters which colored this drama. Here is the list of the casts :

- Captain Yoo Si Jin (Big Boss) - Song Joong Ki

My overall review is, I would agree if this drama became a hit and high rating's drama. This drama gave me full satisfaction with additional of 3 special episodes. I would cherish the Song-Song couple, but I don't hope they will be a real couple ^_^. The review has come to an end and till we meet again in the next drama review. Annyeong haseyo yeorobundeul.
