![]() ![]() ![]() § The medical vs military was so well-done-especially the comments that compared saving lives. § I liked how the first episode clearly set up the plot and introduced the main characters. § I really liked the straight-forward romance with no silly triangles or subplots. Would loved to have seen some cuddle in the tent for a little more closure. § I enjoyed all the characters, villains and heroes, alike. § Song Hye-Ko is a stunning, gorgeous, beautiful “Pretty One.” Wish she had a less dowdy wardrobe. And that military swagger was so exciting-loved how he put his hands on his hips! I think that just being released from the military helped his ability to portray a military character. ![]() I thought he was “just another pretty face” but he commanded his scenes. § Song Joong-Ki really surprised me with his acting ability and this kdrama has motivated me to check out some of his other works. § Jin Goo as Dae-young was smoldering hot-so masculine, swoon!-and he was so convincing in his role. § I love the poster-it’s so romantic with the ML on his knees to tie her boots…. There are so many other articulate and insightful comments from KFG fans below, but I still wanted to share my comments: I was glued to this drama until the very end. I am sorry that I’m 5-years late to this kdram-phenom, but as a newbie, I can finally add DotS to my list of completed kdramas. It was fun and engaging grand with the potential to be magnificent. Added up, I just generally found it hard to connect with her as Mo Yun, quite a lot of the time.Īgree with all of your comments, KFG! Spot on, as usual. Plus, there’s an intermittent vacuity in her gaze that I found bemusing. At times, it almost felt like she wasn’t convinced of the lines that she had to deliver either. I believed her sorrow, and those moments were the ones where I felt most engaged by her as a character.Īt other times, though, like when Mo Yun was being funny, cutesy or prickly, I didn’t feel very convinced by Song Hye Kyo in character, I’m afraid. I felt she did best when Mo Yun was grieved. The other part of it, is in the delivery – I also acknowledge that it’s hard to deliver a female lead who’s very flawed and yet likable. I’d say that overall, Song Hye Kyo’s delivery as Mo Yun was rather patchy, for me. I never loved her, but eventually, I stopped disliking her and felt that she was pretty alright, if sometimes bemusing. ![]() But I will say that I eventually warmed to Mo Yun as a character. It’s supposed to be a deeply emotional arc exploring the vulnerability and humanity of doctors, but I was distractedly asking myself through it all, why the medical team was even entering the collapsed building to search for survivors to begin with, when in earlier episodes, the soldiers had taken care of that, and then brought the injured to the medical team.īecause the practices felt inconsistent, the execution of the arc felt manufactured and contrived, to me. I figure this was Show’s way of making her look cool, but I’m pretty sure that’s not recommended practice.Īnother instance that had me scratching my head, is in episode 8, which had an extended arc where Chi Hoon (a very solid performance by Onew) goes into a troubled emotional funk because he abandons survivor Kang Min Jae (Lee Yi Kyung) when the building rubble they are in starts to collapse. One eyebrow-raising instance of strange medical practice, is in episode 7, when Mo Yun (Song Hye Kyo) whacks a patient’s chest repeatedly instead of performing actual CPR. ![]()
