I'll make my review super short and sweet. This drama for me is like falling in love with a guy you would never expect. It was a drama that wasn't on my radar but I decided to try it-out of the blue-simply because I adore Goblin (Kim Eun Sook writes some witty, amazing dramas!) When I watched it, it got me hooked unexpectedly. Granted it isn't the most perfect drama out there and the ending seemed rushed, but I fell for it nonetheless, making it one of my favorite dramas now.. It's surprising to me that despite Song Hye Kyo being the senior and more experienced actress, Song Joong Ki overshadowed her (I found her acting a bit lacking I guess?). Joong Ki was amazing here, possessing traits that make a truly ideal man. I especially loved that the characters' moral principles, patriotism, duty to country and humanity, and courage formed the very core themes of this drama and that the romantic relationship between the Special Forces Captain a.k.a Big Boss Shi Jin and Dr.Kang Mo Yeon revolved around these ideals. Furthermore, both leads are strong, dedicated and successful in their chosen fields. Isn't it amazing that the writers purposely chose the military and the medical professions to create a rather unique kind of conflict in a relationship? This made the drama gold for me. Not many dramas are like DoTS. No second lead pining after one of the OTP, no birth secrets, no manipulative in laws, no parental opposition, etc. which is refreshing. Not to mention, the cinematography is breathtaking and the production is stunning. I also love the OST. "Always", "Every Time" and "Talk Love" are constantly being replayed on my laptop.
