1. [+26,693, -378] The Yoo Shi Jin phoenix

2. [+20,075, -825] Scriptwriter is crazy, she said she wouldn't do anything that would get her hate but she just did

Hahahaha it's the same reaction I got from my Korean husband...he said it's really ridiculous how he was alive !!! Why it took him a year to appear in front of her.....the writer shud really have a proper story on why

[melleri]

lol the fake real time ratings.  Good ratings.  

SHK gonna win that daesang after this episode. 

I get the complaint that he's alive, but it'll be explained for sure.  

[kdramad]

Hm while I do understand why some people might find the ending scene ridiculous I think it was really well done and beautiful, it's actually one of my favorite scenes from this drama. Plus we are probably going to get the whole explanation of how he survived and how he came to her tomorrow (like last week with the shooting scene) so I don't see why so many people are mad.

I thought people wanted him alive? Damn it if he's alive, damn it if he's dead lol

[alleverything]

YAY for the ratings! I thought it was gonna get affected by the elections but it didn't at all.

Everyone is crying a bucket today and tomorrow (opps yesterday and today) because of DoTS.  What a mixed feeling of sad and happiness.

Got to get ready for work now... still in tears....

Wow. 10 pages generated overnight! Daebak. Can't wait for finale but I have (of all things) korean class tonight. Cannot watch the start of the finale episode.  need to catch up posts later. But wah... Roller coaster last night is right!

[gangurhar]

Time for some good news!

TNMS Ratings 

National: 31.1% (1st) (Tied with highest ever)
Seoul: 35.6% (1st) (HIGHEST EVER)

Congrats to team DOTS! I don't know if we can get to 40% national but hopefully we get it in Seoul! FIGHTING 

[gangurhar]

More good news

In Seoul the AGB ratings were a MASSIVE 37.5%

We are only 2.5% away from 40% in Seoul (I seriously think we could get there tomorrow)

Hopefully the back to back episodes of the other dramas don't affect DOTS (highly unlikely everyone will prb be tuning in to see how this epic drama ends)

FIGHTING

If the election day couldn't affect DOTS then the other dramas certainly won't! hehe. I hope we can at least reach 40% in Seoul too. Nevertheless this drama already broke a lot of records and it will end on a good note for sure

[melleri]

I noticed MY is not wearing her necklace at the end.  Unless I missed it! 

I also wonder if SJ is going to go back to Alpha Team....and if MY will actually accept that.  Does anyone really see a reason for him to keep working like he is?  I know there were some people who didn't want him to quit, but even now??  I think he can get promoted and help the new generation and live safely with MY.   Like seriously man, do not put MY through anymore pain. I do think he'll do the right thing though.

Last bit of good news from me for today

Junsu's new OST is sitting firmly at #1 on MelON with a whopping 49% of listens

Super daebak

 

[lclarakl]

I can not say it enough.......I FREAKING LOVE THIS DRAMA!!!!!  I love:

1. the romance

2. the camaraderie  among friends

3. the brotherhood/sisterhood

4. quality writing

5. quality acting

6. the fact that it shows the emotional rollercoaster that real military/armed forces wives/husbands go through

Now I just only hope that SDY made it too.  This episode had me in tears. Everyone's emotions were so real.

[larinalove]

I just watched the episode with English subs and I am officially a crying mess. It was such an emotionally heavy episode, it started it out light and funny, with cute and hilarious scenes and then it became sad and so hard to deal with the scare of YSJ and SDY dying, although I knew in the end there would be a twist but still it was hard seeing KMY and YMJ cry and mourn  them and think they lost them, truly an amazing deliverance and performance by everyone but I just have to say that Song Hye Kyo stood out, she is the most beautiful crier I have ever seen, she is always beautiful but I have never seen anyone cry so beautifully, I almost feel bad for saying it but it’s true, she is such a beauty but more than that her performance in today's episode was amazing! The last scene was so beautiful, that hug so raw, emotional and real, I couldn’t help but tear up, KES you really do know how to write a love story.

So finally we can breath easily and wait to see our happy ending, we have yet to see what happened to SDY but probably he is fine as well. I am equally excited also saddened  to see the finale episode, these past few weeks have been a roller coaster of emotions and such a beautiful journey we’ve taken with DoTS, truly for me at least this was one of the best  K-Drama I have watched until now with an amazing chemistry between actors, and interesting and engaging story that touched both serious issues and had humor and laughter in it, a very high quality production, so no wonder it was a hit. I seriously don’t know what I’m going to do on Wednesdays and Thursdays now, I am beginning to suffer the withdrawal syndrome already, I know  I am going to miss the drama so much but I am also very happy to have watched and enjoyed it during these weeks.

Let’s stay until the end and enjoy one more ride DoTS troopers, you’ve been all amazing during these weeks, I am proud to have been part of it with you. Fighting!

STILL CANT MOVE ON

[bebe1989]

...

i never thought shi jin could easily die..

i dont know, but i got the idea, this one for secret mission? So he need to gone for a years?... 

Since the previous ep, we saw almost "soldiers" who died, they have ceremony, if the body cant be found out. I thought they shouldnt declare his already died. .

but i love the dynamic love from MJ and DY, they always had sad scenes..the way mj cried infront his dad, i think i love it..

why knetz only mention about SHK great acting skill? SJK,Jiwon,Jinggo, they always giving us great performance? 

i dont think this drama became ridiculous?... It makes sense. Yoo shi jin still alive. Since we got nothing about he died or not. Because the body still missing.

 What worries me is.. DY.. It seems he got shot too.. And he still not appear..

...

i hope two couple marriage the same time.. On ep 16..

the preview 15, show us that MY and SJ camping??? We still not get that scenes yet? So it probably happen on the last ep..

I think he wil always be a soldier. And KMY already understand the risk. It is painfull for her for the "missing year" thinking that he die, but being a soldier is what make YSJ is YSJ. He is the man with principle and protecting his country is one of his. He and KMY already know that "accident" like this will happen and I think they will get more prepare by the time goes by they will be much stronger. KMY herself already prepare herself, see what happen with the sandwich breakfast scene and the scene when YSJ say he need to do this deadly department store things.... She changed from how she react, she is trying to accept it as her risk too.. Her risk to love someone amazing like YSJ. She really try to accept the fact that YSJ is doing a very danger thing.
