H U M A N I T Y

Hey guys, I'm here to write something about Descendants Of The Sun...haha...I know I'm one year late...
but then remember what I said last year in THIS entry, haha...I did say, I couldn't finish to watch DOTS...yeah, last year, that's the truth.

That time, I couldn't finish this drama (just managed to watch until ep 2 or 3) because it was too OVERRATED + the main characters fell in love too fast, which lead me to think that that drama would be all about romance + cheesy etc.

So, I stopped watching it.

However, yesterday, after about 3 days, I managed to watch all of the episodes of DOTS... why am I watching DOTS after a year ? hahah...of course, all of you already know about SONGSONG COUPLE IS GETTING MARRIED IN OCTOBER.
(You can say that I watch this to ship this couple, hhaha)

and I would like to say this, this time...

All my thoughts in the past were completely wrong...this drama isn't the type of drama that is so predictable and full of romance...no, not at all...
and you know what, I can't even ship the couple after watching this even when they really really look good together....

Because I started to think about the bigger issues that happen all around the globe.
(This means, I still want to ship the couple...lol)

See... ? Now, I understand why this drama was insanely popular and gained a lot of awards...

Okay, hehe...instead of saying this, let me make it clear why I think this drama is great!

This drama is about the soldier, Captain Yoo Si Jin and the doctor, Dr Kang Mo Yeon who met unexpectedly and fell for each other instantly. However, due to their occupations, they had to end up their relationship, but then, after eight months they met again, in unexpected situation, unexpected place...
Their relationship was full with the ups and downs...mostly, because of their occupations.

heee...
I write the synopsis that way, because I want to highlight how the drama focused on the occupations but not love story (in case you also misunderstood the drama like my old self...lol)

If you're looking for a romantic comedy drama, this ain't the perfect one.
But, if you're looking for something realistic and full of life...yeah, of course, still include that romantic and comedy but in a good way, definitely, this is the perfect one!

I once hated the idea of how Si Jin instantly, fell in love with Mo Yeon, but as I watched this drama, I couldn't believe that I hated it when Si Jin had to go somewhere when he's on dates with Mo Yeon.
They both were busy with their works, and it's so hard for them to find time to go on date...but when they're on dates, still...they couldn't date...ahh...too bad.

When they met again in Urk...even when the timing seemed not perfect, but it was perfect for them to always met up (not dating). At least, they had time to stay close to each other. And that's enough...

I think Captain Yoo Si Jin is the perfect realistic male character...it's hard for me to like any of main characters before (except Do Min Joon, an alien from My Love From The Star)...hahah...
But for Si Jin, I think, he's a really really cool and calm guy, who acknowledged his responsibility and duty. His responsibilities were tested a lot...and a lot more when he fell in love with Mo Yeon, but still...as a guy who took his occupation very seriously, Si Jin managed to put aside his feelings even though it's hard for him.

Wow. That seems so so great.

I know, in reality, when people choose their works over families or the people that they love, other people tend to ask,
"So, your work is more important ? So, what am I to you? Go and marry your work then" blablablabla...

But come to think of it, work is the responsibility that involves the world, not just people around us... like Si Jin, he went to wars and fight bad people, if he chose to stay, what would happen ?

Hmm, the thing is, remember not to be so selfish if you want to be with unselfish people.
"Go and marry your work...", what a selfish statement...
= ="

For Mo Yeon, she's the normal woman who faced a lot of problems in her life. It's hard to be in her place too... especially when she had been passed over for professorship in a favor of colleague who had familial connections to the hospital management
So, when she had a chance to be a doctor-who-is-on-tv-not-operation-room, it's easy to understand her feeling as human when she used that opportunity very well.

It's a human thing, to do that when we lost all our hopes...

But then, thankfully, she realized about her responsibilities once again after going on a mission in Urk...

To be a doctor, the responsibilities, the reasons...etc

Enough talking about the main character...

Now, I would like to say this, if I watched this drama when I was 15, I might not end up where I am today (taking an engineering course)
Hahah...just saying, because...one character really caught my eyes, I mean, her occupation.

First Lieutenant, Yoon Myung Ju.

Because at sixteen, I had to choose my path, whether wanted to take technical-science , pure science...etc

Myung Ju, an army doctor.

I really really think that's a cool job and only those who are great enough will be able to do the job perfectly (this means, I ain't great enough... = =")

Hahah...come to think of it, as a doctor, of course you need to be calm when treating the patients but then plus the army, how do you think it will be...the pressure is a lot more because now, you have to be calmer than before...

Imagine treating the patients at the war, at the natural disaster scenes...oh my goodness...

Calm, is such a hard feeling...not all people can stay calm in a serious situation. Bravos to all of the army doctors out there...you're super super great.
I admire you Sir and Madam :-)

In this drama, Myung Ju fell in love with Master Sergeant Seo Dae Young...
Haa...and now, I would like to talk about Seo Dae Young.

Seo Dae Young also is a character that knew his responsibilities very well like Si Jin...the thing is, even when that's the case, Myung Ju's father didn't like him to be with his daughter and used to make commands that would part Dae Young and Myung Ju...

I really hate that Dad character...he misused his power... = ="
Eeee...

Enough talking about the characters...now I would like to talk about the great scenes that definitely will bring tears to your eyes...

First and foremost, of course, when there's an earthquake...

Really, I never even imagined how it's to be in that situation for real...now when I think about it, I know it's hard.
Stay and alive.
Stay and die.
Run and still die.
Run and alive.

There're a lot of probabilities.
Really.

That scene when the medical team went to the place after the earthquake...ahh...

and all the scenes between Doctor Lee Chi Hun and Kang Min Jae...
Oh my...

so so great...brings tears, and at the same time, brings great realization of reality of work life and responsibilities...

hmm, last but not least, the scene when Myung Ju and Mo Yeon still saved the bad guy and turned out he brought contagious disease with him...
that scene is so great and meaningful... hmm, sometimes, the consequences after we carry out our responsibilities successfully aren't always great and sweet...and that's the reality of life...

anyway, I think I write a lot...

but hey, I still don't write about my favorite character...can you guess who ?
Hmm...of course, it's no other than Daniel Spencer, Peacemaker Emergency Doctor Team.

This character is so perfect and it's not that surprise if I like this character more than the great Captain Yoo Si Jin...hehhe...

Daniel Spencer, a doctor...who's from a rich family...he not only good in operation room (repairing people) but he's good in repairing things and machines...
What a dream guy.

I mean, that's perfect for me...to be a doctor, of course, that means, he's smart and read a lot and that's cool...
From a rich family, hmm...that's just a bonus...
But then, to be good in repairing things (cars, machines etc)...wow...so manly, and reliable...
hmm, plus, he's really good-looking.

Heheh...

alright, enough is enough...

I hope you notice the great impacts this drama had brought to my life...
To realize about so many things...hmm, really...
I can't think lightly about the issues like wars + natural disaster + diseases...

It's my faults to think lightly when I thought I couldn't make any change by thinking more on those issues...hmm, everyone can make a change if they want...
You know that too...

If you don't have time to watch this drama yet, I hope you can find some time to do so...  I hope you'll enjoy this drama as much as I do...

For focusing on such great issues, this drama deserves the 10/10 stars...heheh...
