@bebebisous33 Hiya it was you! Haha I'm sorry for forgetting to quote you, it was too far back and I can't seem to remember who wrote it.  But I definitely remember what was written lol. Thank you for your kind words and for reading till the end! I rambled on and on haha  

Don't worry about the cutting, I enjoyed your additional thoughts and thank you for the elaboration. It helps in bringing the message across, heh which I have difficulty doing due to my limitations in language.

Don't worry too much about your English!! My English isn't perfect either and it is definitely not my native language!

And you didn't ramble on! About Richard, I wanted to add that I really liked the scene between YSJ and Richard about patriotism because it reveals that YSJ's view about being patriotic is totally different from Richard's patriotism. 

Sure, Richard is too one-dimensional in my opinion... on the other hand, it shows the corruption when foreign companies and their representants settle in dangerous countries in Africa or Asia, it is not out of generosity. There is profit behind these moves: petrol, gaz, uranium aso!

That's actually what I think is the biggest difference between Myeong-joo and Shi-jin. The latter CHOSE to become a soldier out of his own free will, in fact going against what his parents advised him to do. I too feel that Myeong-joo became a soldier and is pursuing the general star because it's a way for her to obtain her father's approval. 

And most definitely agree with your last question there. If he was so worried about her wellbeing, he would ensure she was never in harms way. I understand he needs to be professional and worry about the entire platoon but, when he pointedly told the captain not to send anyone to search specifically for his daughter, I found myself being pretty stunned. This was the same man who disregarded his professionalism to send her daughter's boyfriend as far away as possible from her for as long as he could AND then, having him sent back to Korea when she managed to get herself transferred there. So, Lt Gen Yoon doesn't really have a good record in terms of being professional. I fear it's more like he doesn't really care all that much, as long as she' still alive and healthy to marry Shi-jin, the man HE thinks should have been his son. 

Now, I've become even more cynical: imagine, he wants her to marry YSJ and after that, if she is dead, he doesn't care. He has a son-in-law who will become a general at some point!!!

Sure, it is an exaggeration... however, he wants to speak to his son-in-law and doesn't speak much to his own daughter!

Really good observation!! So far, she was the one who had always been left behind so that he can get a taste from his own medicine!

But I suspect YSJ's major flaw is that he is living too much to the moment as well ("carpe diem"). Sure, he said, he wanted to get promoted but he only spoke about it to his father. So far, he has never mentioned anything about his future to KMY. Hence I have the impression, he has never thought about what it means to have a girlfriend. He is just so in love with her that he hasn't given a thought about their future together. 

I agree. And with that I can't help but making a parallel with other famous KES writter-nim character... Kim Tan. Who chose to sacrifice and give up his brilliant future as a third generation chaebol, for the girl he liked. Will it be the same fate for Captain YSJ? Sorry, my English is very limited, but I hope you get what I mean

Captain Yoo... 

The reason why I smile..

[gangurhar]

I feel that YSJ will push KMY away after her kidnapping thing. He will probably feel responsible for it and will feel that his job is too dangerous. General Yoon will probably play a role in this because he won't be happy seeing YSJ not with MJ and Yoon can ruin YSJ's military future.

but I also feel that KMY this time will fight for them and won't let YSJ go 

[JHBNL]

When I see stars, I think of you
Then I always pray for you
And I know what my heart was made for
To love you
Forevermore

I love this scene...

Shipping is fun as long as you don't take everyhing seriously. When they have new dramas there'll be some other people who'll ship them with their co-stars. And speaking as a long-time fan of SHK, I can tell what type of man she's interested in. But I'm not gonna sit here and say they won't fall in love at all. It's their life and I know nothing about them except from what I've read on the internet or newspapers. I think it's better to just focus on YSJ & KMY here..

Back to the drama, I seriously can't wait to see them take their relationship to another level. Please provide us with a lot of lovey dovey moments ok. Captain Yoo, please don't disappoint us.

Guys, this picture is so perfect! And giving me such feels. Uri soldier couple looks like they stepped out of Golden Holkywood era.

I love it when the new OST plays at the end of episode 8.

It is a rare, calm scene that is just so precious. After the earthquake is over and things start returning to normal, the gentle ballad has a healing effect that eases people's mind. MY's bright smile. A rare romantic moment between Dr Song and the nurse he loves. Some light smiles on the patients' face. Happy faces of other medical team members. Daniel quietly reading a book and enjoying music at the same time. MJ getting the feel and wanting a kiss from her (forbidden) boyfriend. Even SJ seems to be very much at ease and can't wait for the next good song to start. In the quiet night and under the starry night, time seems to flow slowly and there is nothing more to worry about but enjoying every moment.

It is a total opposite scenario from 3-4 day ago when hell broke loose. The minute the song starts, it is like love and peace are in the air.

I love SJ-MY couple, yes. But such subtle moments like this make me treasure the drama much more. Yes, DOTS is no where near perfect; it has flaws or inconsistencies. But if we choose to be open-minded, just focus on the sincerity of characters and look pass what aim to create dramatic effects rather than portray realities, we will be rewarded with such precious, feel-good and sincere moments that bring genuine smiles or sadness for us.

Same thoughts!

I am sure this is not normal, I am listening to the ost while my mind keep replaying most of the scenes in this drama especially the one in the MV. I am scared. I don't know how am I hoing to survive when this drama ends. I know I should enjoy it while it lasted, but the scenes just keep playing in my head. I guess, after a long time not watching kdrama, and now I'm watching a drama that I am so immersed in, with great casts and storyline along with my SJK and SHK, this is what I have to face. Should I call it pre-withdrawal syndrome? 

1) The first time YSJ met KMY at the ER

2) While waiting for surveillance video- YSJ n KMY introduced themselves 

3) Doctors don't have bf,  too busy and Soldiers don't have gf, too much hard work.

These are my favourite, cause I think first meeting/ encounter is the most beautiful thing that ever happen in one life that people tend to overlook. 

Thank you to whoever read my rambling, I just need to let this out from my system for a while, though it's not as easy as I thought it would be. 

Dots troopers fighting!!!

I feel it top, she will probably have to fight for them and show him a lot of love and support

[bharu]

I have this huge presentation coming Monday, I am this stark raving mad workaholic who suddenly finds it difficult not to replay the scenes of this drama every now and then... What has happened to me. I was thinking if I rewatch it many times may be.. Just may be I will get bored.. Guess what I was proven wrong..

 

moral of the story: cure for addiction is not overdosing!!!!! Yet to find a cure though

That's what I think/fear will happen too, especially the part of Lt Gen messing with Mo-yeon when she might already be shaken up post kidnapping AND post attempt to push her away by Shi-jin, she might already be vulnerable and creepy Lt Gen in Shi-jin Obssessed Mode is the last thing she needs. Hopefully she'll find the strength to fight for her man!

[smiletall]

The end of ep 8 was such a great moment. And so clever of the writer to give the viewers a confession from MY (we've been waiting forever for it) in such a wonderful and unexpected way, especially after almost 2 pretty serious episodes. 

Just some thoughts on the recent onslaught of articles from the press conference interviews:

I'm trying really hard not to ship SHK and SJK in real life. It's always hard not to ship the real actors when their onscreen chemistry is so good. But I had hoped that SJK would be a bit more revealing on how it was to work with SHK.  I know previous comments mentioned a similar frustration as it maybe seemed like maybe SJK simply wasn't asked these questions? But it seems strange since SHK obviously was and talked about how it was to work with SJK and complimented SJK quite a bit. And her comments were not incredibly revealing.  They were fairly professional and obvious comments. But at least she mentioned she was grateful to him, etc.  But other than from the limited comments he made about how he had been looking forward to working with SHK at the press conference/prior interview, it hasn't been really mentioned how he was likewise grateful to SHK or something similar along those lines. Unless, maybe I missed something. 

I love SJK and I'm not hating at all. It's just a little disappointing. And not just cuz I'm hungry for any piece of SHK or SJK interaction.  But because I feel like SHK has been getting overlooked a lot for her contribution to the drama. As is the case for a lot of female leads vs. male leads.  And in truth, if the female lead actress was lacking, I wouldn't have too much of a problem. But I feel that SHK is actually really pulling her weight and deserves recognition as well.

Even in the interview talking about the wine kiss, SJK mentioned that he and the director put in a lot of effort into that scene. But SHK is actually part of that scene. Even if his character was the one to act on the kiss, typically you see in BTS cuts of kiss scenes, all three parties confer about how to play it out. But SHK isn't even mentioned. 

A part of me wonders if Blossom Ent. is being really careful with his image management right now and limiting the type of questions he is being asked since so many female fans are thirsting after him right now.  And knowing how considerate and careful he is about other people, I also wonder if he's being overly cautious with his words in not trying to imply anything with SHK in real life in respect to SHK and her past scandals since he doesn't want to bring her unnecessary hate by his fans.  (But it seemed like his comments in working with SHK are SOO scarce, it also made me wonder, is he not mentioning anything with SHK not because he is concerned about her per say, but he's concerned about another partner he is secretly dating?? Which might be farfetched, but I know JIS was really strongly adamant about denying personal feelings for SHK in real like when acting together despite good onscreen chemistry, and it ended up being because he was in the early stages of a then secret relationship with KMH).

Honestly, I don't care why SJK is being so stingy with talking about how it was to work with SHK, but I would just like her to get some well-deserved credit. The SJK craze is like a wall right now, and he COMPLETELY deserves all that praise.  And while I don't really expect the same public recognition that SJK is getting, it would be nice if at least her lead co-actor recognized the work and effort she put in publicly. I know for sure he does. I just want him to say it damn it >.< (if only so I can read it.) Am I being too selfish in that respect? lol

I do like that Jin Goo and Kim Ji Won at least are more willing to talk.  So at least there's that.

JUST MY POV....

the reason KMY will be kidnapped by ARGUS maybe about the diamond...you remember last ep. they stop digging the power plant rubble were the diamond was buried. And base on the prev. for the next ep. ARGUS  voice over said  "there's more chance to getting hurt being around a guy with a gun" while you can see the scene where ARGUS come out from his car is where KMY was taking care of a patient.
