[Drama 2016] Descendants of the Sun 태양의 후예

[kristy86]

I can't sleep, is this really the end?

It's been so great, the last 4-5 months, thanks to all of you for always sharing news updates, pics, gifs and everything.

I am sorry I was spamming the tread with my histerical posts, haha, nothing substantive, I was just overly excited.

Thank you to KBA for the specials, even there was no epilogue I am truly satisfied with the last special with all the bts, they were having so much fun while filming.

I am not letting go, not yet. So I will be still staying here

Here Joong Ki is struggling so much trying to tie Hye Kyo's hair!

Yes, it was so funny, I was so surprised when I heard the voice was different, lol.  It's my fave scene actually, and guess what I end up re-watching ep 4 now. 

No matter how many times I watch this episode, I still have to hold my breathe during the whole scene of saving the Arab President. All casts did a fantastic job, all of them. 

Thank you DOTS for the great time! I hope season two will really push through.

Though I had started fangirling over DOTS quite late, I just wanted to thank everyone in this thread for welcoming me warmly  It's been a while since I last fangirl-ed over a Korean drama (My Girl was the first) and I am so thankful to have been a part of such a wonderful family <3

I guess I'm feeling a bit sad as I see posts about some DOTS fans leaving the thread to move on or to fangirl over other dramas. Huhuhu kajima, guys  Though the show has ended, we will always have this thread to go back to every once in a while to reminisce the good memories DOTS has brought into our lives. 

Aaaaaand there's still a book and movie release, as well as the OST concert and the international releases. DOTS ain't over till it's over. Hahaha! And though Kim Eun Sook and her co-writer have erased the idea of a DOTS season 2, my heart will continue to hope for it, and that if it pushes through, I also hope that the original cast will be retained. 

So anyway, I will continue lurking in this thread. I see no reason to stop doing so

Today I can't watch the epilogue. I save it for some days later to watch.

Just come over here to say: I love you! 

Have a nice time watching and enjoy DOTS!

It's nice to have you here sharing the joy and much interesting information! G9 Troopers!

Just about more than 1 month since the day I started to know about DOTs and I would have never imagined that it could bring an incredible world to me - know that how I can be fangirl like this after 7 years, wait in excitement for the new episode and watch the whole series completely after 10 years and raise my voice in soompi again after 6 years. I love the way DOTs changes my world and create positive connections:

• The bond between cast & crew: Look at the BTS and their updates on hanging out together in real life bring me warm feelings since I believe they have developed a good friendship with each other, not only on screen but also off screen.
• The connection between DOTs lovers: I will never forget the excited feelings while watching your guys' full of emotions and humorous when doing live recap, as well as how I am deeply touched by your sincere posts and sharing on the characters, combining with the enthusiastic and quick updates, thanks to them, each day of mine becomes much more interesting and happy, truthfully.

I believe it's not the end, it's the beginning of a long term and excited journey, thanks to DOTs, I'm into the movie and story itself with the characters who create deep influence on me, and thanks to DOTs, I've developed feelings and love towards Hye Kyo and Joong Ki as knowing more about their true nature and colors. 

I'm truly looking forward to their upcoming activities, as long as we remember about DOTs, it is being continued. So please visit this thread sometimes, I'll be around here, with a big love for DOTs.

Some people above say about: the end, because we watched all the episode?

For me, it can't be the end. Because I know that this beautiful sweet love & love story will be very long time in my heart. I know that I'll watch it again later. 

Anyway I myself want to understand and find peace.Loving crazily    like that seems not ok for me

Thinking out loud once more (because it's so much more fun to be thinking about DotS versus focusing on my work, which is what I should be doing right now . . . shhhh . . .).

Some of my favorite moments in the drama were the parallels drawn between KMY's profession and YSJ's.  Sometimes the parallel was shown in an overt manner.  Like when they'd do side-by-side shots of KMY going about her work and YSJ going about his, or when they'd cut back and forth between scenes of KMY issuing instructions to her team and YSJ to his.  Or, another example, in the last episode, when we saw a new class of physicians taking the Hippocratic oath and a new class of soldiers being sworn in.  I thought moments like those were brilliantly done.  (Good job, PD!)

But at other times, the parallel was a little less obvious.  And now that I'm thinking about it more, I wonder how I missed it.  I'm thinking specifically of the life-threatening virus arc.  At the time, I remember telling my friends, "I know, I know, they've weathered a Middle East conflict, an earthquake, an arms dealer, and now we've got a scary virus added onto the pile."  As much as I was completely sucked in to every single one of those arcs, the more rational side of me also felt like DotS was trying to go BIG or go home in every aspect of its storytelling.  But now, I can also see that it wasn't just the drama trying to pile on more drama for the sake of creating drama.  Instead, I think the purpose of that arc was to illustrate that dangers weren't unique to a soldier's life, and that a doctor's life could be challenged at any time as well.  I do remember appreciating at the time of my initial viewing that this time, it was the men who had to sit helplessly on the sideline as they waited for information and outcomes.  But now looking at the drama as a whole, I can also see more clearly just how important that arc was to the story.

Two other scenes I really loved in DotS was: 1) YSJ shooting at Argus with tears in his eyes, and 2) YSJ shedding more tears over his last photo with Argus and then setting it aflame, saying his final farewells to that friendship.  I think that was a turning point for KMY.  In the second episode, she'd challenged him about ending lives when her purpose was to save lives.  In episode 12, I think she really came to understand that sometimes it's necessary to kill.  But even then, it's not an easy thing to do.  How could she not fall more in love with YSJ in that moment?

As I said a few days ago, I think it's moments like these that really helped KMY come to grips with her relationship with YSJ (which was the real conflict of the drama).  I also think it helped her understand that, at the end of the day, they weren't so different from one another after all.

Anyhoo . . . thoughts over.  Back to work.  Can't wait to go home and watch all the BTS clips that you've all been going giddy over today.

Wow!!!  I am more glad to see how comfortable SHK and SJK were starting from the script-reading.  Their chemistry is really exploding!!  I guess that's one of the reasons this drama became a big success.  Loved all their BTS - very few were taken off the actual drama.

I've watched quite a few of SHK dramas and one movie (The Queens) and I would say her role in DOTS is exceptional.  She was all-straight drama actress in AIMH (with Song Seung Hyun and Won Bin); a little upbeat on Full House (I didn't like her pairing with Bi) and a sophisticated lady in The Queens.  In DOTS, she was able to prove she can make us cry and make us laugh too.  And I really admire her and SJK's chemistry in acting as well.
