Descendants of the Sun

This is an excellent series. It has a great story line and good actors. The action sequences and the humour interlaced in the plot, keeps it interesting. The main characters leave a lasting impression. I'm not really fond of kdramas, but watched this one based on the amazing reviews it had. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, totally worth watching even with the subtitles.

It's an inspired Korean television production, with an enjoyable romantic plot, well written dialogue, good acting and adequate budget. As of April 2016 it has been streamed more than 2.3 billion times and its Asian success is so huge that China's Ministry of Public Security posted an official (and threatening) statement to warn against the growing influence of Korean Dramas on Chinese youth.

It's obviously for kids but it can be interesting for anyone willing to know how is it to live now in South Korea, what does it mean to be pretty, young and cool there.

But besides that, the story is catching and well made, with pleasant moments, nice sceneries (a great part has been shot in Greece) and good attention for details.

Interestingly, Authors felt the need to account for the age difference between the beautiful Song Hye-kyo (born 1981) and the handsome Song Joong-ki (born 1985), even though I wonder how many of us would have noticed… I'm liking it and I think that others from Western Countries will like it too.

I am inlove with this serries. Simply amazing..beautiful actors, funny, charming, captivating scenery and excelent script. Oh and the soundtrack..makes my heart melt. Please make Season 2! Pleaseeee!

This drama is not just aesthetically gorgeous- the cinematography is seriously nothing short of a masterpiece- but also carries a message that is just as beautiful. This is one of the most critically acclaimed dramas of time, with special praise given to the the heart tugging storyline and the beautiful layered performances from the strong cast.

I have recently learned to love Korean TV, having been wowed by Mr Sunshine and Crash Landing on You. I also loved Its Okay to Not be Okay. So I came to this wanting it to be of a similar standard. But it isn't. Not for me anyway.

I did not invest in the central relationship. The characters shed plenty of tears but never made me feel that their relationship was real. The story threw lots challenges and disasters their way, but none of it made me care what happened.

Having said all that, it is a moderately diverting drama, perhaps more likely to be enjoyed if you come at it with low expectations.
