I know that it sounds cliche and overdramatic, but my life is literally empty now that this drama is finished. This drama made me laugh, cry, freeze in anticipation, obsessively click onto the next episode...well, you get the picture.
The story was excellent—it was filled with suspense, romance, comedy, action, and drama. The characters were amazing as well. Even though I wouldn't necessarily label this drama as a romantic comedy, the characters themselves all had a wonderful sense of humor. All of the characters (main and supporting) grew throughout the show, and I loved how their development continued throughout several plot arches. The acting was beautiful—Song Hye Kyo (Kang Mo Yeon) and Song Joong Yi (Yoo Shi Jin) have amazing chemistry, as do Jin Goo (Seo Dae Yeong) and Kim Ji Won (Yoon Myung Ji). Song Hye Kyo and Jin Goo also have a great bromance that I will sorely miss. The music was great, and I will be downloading the soundtrack as soon as I finish this review :)
Overall, the drama capitalized on the themes of duty and honor, which tied perfectly into the character's roles in the military/medical profession. My rewatch value rating is slightly lower (if a 9 can be considered low) only because the drama was very suspenseful (and some of that suspense will be lost with a rewatch). The camera-work of the drama was great though, and the drama would be well-worth rewatching just for the sake of the characters alone. If you are debating whether or not to watch this drama, I would DEFINITELY recommend you try it! Happy watching :)
