Hoo-rah!
Using my personal rating system of "loved," "liked," "meh," & "nah," this was a “liked”.
I just recently re-watched this since I decided I needed some more Song Joong Ki in my life and Arthdal Chronicles next season isn’t out yet. ?
Things I liked:
The bromance between Seo Dae Young and Yoo Shi Jin. They were my favorite couple in the drama. :D I also thought the funny moments were done so well—for example, the two MLs running desperately across the camp to prevent their girlfriends from opening a care package from other women was hilarious. The comments the women made as they watched shirtless soldiers run past were so funny. I liked that Kang Mo Yeon was skilled in her job and while, yes, she did need saving by our male lead, it was not the situation where a suddenly ace female martial artist no longer functions just so the ML can run around rescuing her. He was best at military stuff, she was best at medical stuff and they both did their jobs well. I liked their chemistry, too (& the chemistry of the second leads). I go back and forth about her going back and forth about dating YSJ. She had some legit concerns about the stress his job would cause her, on the other hand it just seems unfair that someone risks their life for their country and then can’t date because of it. But, having been in a relationship with someone with PTSD and TBI as the result of their combat experience, I can definitely understand her caution. Minor like: I like that they poked a bit of fun at the domineering CEO trope. He did all the things that CEO male leads do in dramas such as overwhelming the FL with flowers and investigating her life—but in this case, it backfired. Thank you!
Things I didn’t like:
The show really could have ended when they got back from the medical mission. The story didn’t have a point afterwards. Or…they should have had the evil dude go to South Korea and finish up the drama/action there. There were some medical inaccuracies and some plot holes but nothing that ever stood up and shouted.
Random question: Do Korean soldiers really have to verbally chop all their responses to their superiors like that when at attention?
Its a good watch. I'd recommend it for Song Joong Ki and to get a peek at one production's interpretation of military life in South Korea.
