visiopeia Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 17 minutes ago, MairaA said: - YSJ's phone plan still being on means that obviously someone is still paying for it (most likely, KMY). She used it as a means of talking to him, and getting composure; thinking that one day he'll read the messages and reply (which came true, yaaay!!!). It's kind of like how YMJ won't read SDYs letter because if she reads it, she'll have to accept that fact that he is no more. Both of them don't want to accept it and that is their way of coping with loss (which is not really coping, its just denial - denial makes sense cause the bodies were not found). Have I told you guys how much I love this drama? I like the way you write ... I agree with you ... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeN Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 9 minutes ago, Bianca. said: I think there might be lots of reason for that haha. YMJ's type is not to be settled with someone she is arranged for. She might have thought that YSJ would fall for her since she is pretty or that's her way to approach SDY. So she asked for SDY's corporation. Even YSJ's dad don't seem fancy about her as his daughter-in-law. Tbh I was a little bit nervous watching this scene to see whether YSJ had something for YMJ. And it was a relief to realize that there was not The only reason is that she met SDY before YSJ (She didn't know YSJ before she met SDY, you can check in ep 3 where she said "I heard he is my senior at the Korea Military Academy. I think his name is Yoo Shi Jin"). If she didn't meet SDY first and was touched by his boldness, her heart would be won by YSJ xD Everyone knows YSJ's skills 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieknows Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Who's to say if Shi Jin would have ever fallen for Myeong Joo if they had met first, and who cares now? Maybe in a parallel universe or a fan fiction. But the way the writers intended it to be written---here, now, in this world---was that Shi Jin never saw/thought of Myeong Joo as a woman. In episode 9, Shi Jin bluntly announced this to the General in front of Myeong Joo and Dae Young. A couple of you guys are welcome to your own interpretations, but you're not welcome to your own version of facts. And I'm telling you now that your interpretation of a possible Shi Jin and Myeong Joo loveline is incongruent to what's been written and to what the majority of DOTS viewers clearly get. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chellsee Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 'Descendants of the Sun' hits new viewership record SEOUL, April 14 (Yonhap) -- The sensational South Korean TV series "Descendants of the Sun" has beaten its own viewership record again, data showed Thursday. The KBS 2TV drama captured 34.8 percent of viewers across the country for the 15th episode on Wednesday, up 1.3 percentage points from 33.5 percent for the 13th one aired a week ago, data by Nielsen Korea showed. In the capital area, where viewership has usually been greater, the rate soared to 38.1 percent, up 3.1 percentage points from last week, while the figure for Seoul remained unchanged at 37.5 percent. The romantic drama revolves around the romance between an Army captain, Yoo Si-jin (Song Joong-ki), who serves in the U.N. peacekeeping forces, and a female doctor named Kang Mo-yeon (Song Hye-kyo), in a fictional war-torn country called Uruk. Premiering on Feb. 24, the show has constantly surpassed its viewership record except for the 14th episode that was rated slightly lower with 33 percent. The finale of the 16-episode series is scheduled to be aired at 10 p.m. Thursday. In China, the show will be available on the video website iQiyi on the same day. http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/culturesports/2016/04/14/0701000000AEN20160414003800315.html 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emoticons have photos of actor Song Joong-ki, Jin Gu and Kim Ji-won as the three main military characters along with short comical captions with some of the drama's hit lines. The 16-episode series depicts the romance between Army captain Yoo (Song), who serves in the U.N. peacekeeping forces, and a doctor named Kang Mo-yeon (Song Hye-kyo), in a fictional war-torn country called Uruk. http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/culturesports/2016/04/14/0701000000AEN20160414004800315.html 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SereneSky Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 59 minutes ago, LeN said: Well, YSJ was introduced to MJ by MJ's father and he, of course, started thinking about her as a potential gf. However, he didn't had chance to establish his feeling to MJ since he got to know that his duty leader wanted to date MJ right after he came to SDY's company as the company's commander for few days. YSJ sensed that his duty leader dares to date Commander-in-chief's daughter proving the fact that he really likes her. SDY said "So you give up"? indicating the fact that YSJ steps aside for them to date each other. I think If MJ didn't meet SDY first, she would have fell for YSJ. and If YSJ isn't the type who appreciates the comradeship, he would compete with SDY to have Myung Ju since he has the biggest advantage - MJ's father's acknowledgement. That's why he said "If it weren't for me, you would have to marry me" Actually, someone can quote me if im wrong, but i do believe that YSJ and MJ have a sunbae & hoobae relationship. As in he is her senior in military school. This is why she questioned whether it was "Yoo ShiJin sunbae" in ep 3 (?) that her father has his eyes on (this was while getting prepped for the wedding crashing event in SDY's car.) In addition, when MJ's father came to uruk and spoke to the three of them in that office, YSJ stated very straightforwardly that he has always only thought of MJ as a hoobae and has never had romantic feelings for her. I'm pretty sure that YSJ and MJ knew each other before, and that they each did not feel any attraction to each other from the beginning. Our song-song couple and goowon couple were destined from the beginning it seems to me hehe. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazeljrr_c922 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Finally found an English subbed that worked, can imagine the traffic for the subs. What a heavy ep, I couldn't stop crying, kept blowing my nose from the time they said their goodbyes in front of the hospital for the 3 month assignment, until the end of the episode. And, as usual, beautifully done. This episode belonged to MY. Fantastic job. Positive that episode 16 will be a really good satisfying end, and make DotS, from ep 1 to 16, hands down, the best I have watched and will watch in a long time. Though today will be the end, there is still 3 days next week....looking forward to them as well. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viyra Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 It was never mentioned which country they were deployed to. If it was in an Arab country, I would guess SJ got help from the President because they once had connections. Some viewers are really funny - just unhappy about how they watch a drama. Previously, lots were praying 'please don't let YSJ die'; then when he came back to life, they were outraged for him being able to come back alive!! WTH - what do they want? I don't think there's much left to show in episode 16 so they'd probably do flashbacks - from when and how SJ was rescued to him finding where KMY is. I am guessing he also knows where SDY is. I liked the scene where YMJ confronted her father telling him it was all his fault for taking all the time her and SDY should be together. She requested to be sent back to Uruk because that's where she was the happiest - because her and SDY spent their happy times at that place. Daniel mentioned he was banned from entering Korea and he mentioned something to KMY that he is a criminal. I wonder if that was the real translation. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post twtwb Posted April 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2016 While Kang Mo Yeon is suffering, Song Hye Kyo shines We have just had another excellent episode of "Descendants of the Sun". This is the most emotional and touching episode in a drama that I have watched in recent years which even exceeded episodes 6 and 7 (episodes 6 and 7 are still the most meaningful episodes to me though). Every single actor did a good job. I am especially impressed with Song Joong Ki's performance in the last scene that he appeared (and no, I am not commenting about his appearance). But dominating the screen, the plot, the dialogues, and the emotion in the whole episode, from the beginning to the end, is doctor Kang Mo Yeon played by actress Song Hye Kyo. I am a guy and I do not have the same emotional attachment to Kang Mo Yeon like many female audience have, but I still feel the pain of her losing the most precious beloved one in her life. It is not only the pain though. There are much more than that: the waiting, the shock, the disbelief, the denial, the frustration, the acceptance, the helplessness, the missing-like-crazy, the memory, the struggle, the hallucination, the sacrifice and above all, the love. And for each and every emotion, she adds depth and reality to it, to the extent that audience who already knew that Captain Yoo Shi Jin would not be dead can still touch her emotions and really feel for what she has been through. Yes it is so real but so nuanced. It is so deep but so natural. It is so multi-layered, understandable and connected. Kang Mo Yeon in Kim Eun Sook and Kim Won Suk's writing is already a good character, especially compared to many other female characters that writer Kim Eun Sook created in her previous work; but Song Hye Kyo just makes the character much better. She does not only live in her character. She brings to it much more depth and raises it to a different level of emotion, liveliness, relatableness and nuance that is rarely seen in current dramas. I remember actor Jo In Sung saying that "there are time when I get goose bumps from seeing Song Hye Kyo's acting." I got goose bumps from seeing her in episode 15. I remember director Kim Kyu Tae stating that "her performance surpasses 'content' and I am so grateful that I can't even put into words". This is I exactly what I thought when I watched her in episode 15 (I don't think this long post does justice to her). I remember my favorite writer Noh Hee Kyung confessing that "I learned my limit after working with Song Hye Kyo. I feel that I have lost to Song Hye Kyo for the things that I used to brag about, like my ability to concentrate. When I put 3 to 4 different emotions into a scene, Song Hye Kyo makes it into a scene with 4 to 5 different emotions. Even then, I feel like she hasn't shown us everything she is capable of. I don't want to accept it but Song Hye Kyo deserves all the credit for the success of her character." I can imagine that after watching last night's episode, writers Kim Eun Sook and Kim Won Suk would come to really understand writer Noh Hee Kyung's thoughts, views and feelings. For such an excellent performance, I am grateful to Song Hye Kyo. 69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chellsee Posted April 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2016 I can't imagine the feeling of seeing "the one you love the most" whom you thought you've already lost and found in a desert place like this.

Popular Post kingpin Posted April 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2016 So much feels Spoiler ------------------------ ============= [HanCinema's Drama Review] "Descendants of the Sun" Episode 15 2016/04/13 Spoiler In its penultimate episode, "Descendants of the Sun" tops itself with 34.8% ratings in spite of the fact that it was competing with South Korean elections. This drama suffers from too many tonal shifts, but the tone of this episode was so solid that it was a tight, emotive watching experience even though it didn't quite match the rest of the drama. Let's just get the not-so-great stuff out of the way so we can then focus on all the awesome things this episode got right. Where in the world did the side characters go? We saw them in teasing spurts, but they were not present like they had been in Uruk. I miss them. the only one we really got to see was adorable Gi-beom who forged a new path and a new life for himself. Good job, kid. Chi-hoon had a baby, right? At least I remember his fiancee sporting a pretty impressive baby bump and going into labor. He didn't seem to be fatigued in the least, nor did he talk about his newborn son. Very strange. I am glad that my predictions about his fiancee suffering from a hard delivery did not come true. What is with the horrible signage that Dr. Daniel had posted around him? The English was laughable. With all the money spent on the drama, did they not find one person to copy edit the foreign language text? I realize that this show needs to be mindful of their Chinese audience, but all the dancing around Si-jin and Mo-yeon having a sexual life was frustrating. They are adults in a loving, consenting, respectful, and passionate relationship. This is a huge point of contention in drama across the board. When Si-jin and Dae-yeong were reported dead, why didn't we get to see the reactions of all the people who loved them, not just their girlfriends and families? Part of this drama was focused on the way families are forged by working through tough situations together. The medical and military families should've had a role to play in that sadness. Those were my major complaints of the episode. Now I'm going to get the other sad mention over and done with, and then we can move on to the amazing bits. Si-jin will probably not die in the last episode; not after he made a miraculous return in this one. As a writer, I can see the show permanently leaving poor Dae-yeong gone. It's realistic given his line of work. Before its airing and throughout the drama there has been speculation of the death of a main character. Of course, as a Dae-yeong fangirl myself I totally am opposed to anything bad happening to him. But, as a realistic writer, it's a possibility. Okay! Bad stuff out of the way. Onto everything else. This episode was full of the kind of "feel-good" moments that are more than just fluff. Si-jin and Mo-yeon have a wonderful rapport. They banter, exchange inside jokes, are earnest about their feelings, and have learned to truly understand each other. Their relationship gives Mo-yeon the impetus to go after her real dreams as a doctor that she continues to pursue after she believes Si-jin is dead. She hones her surgical skills and continues to work for the betterment of medical politics and practice. Spoiler Myeong-joo and Dae-yeong did not enjoy the same bliss as the Song-Song couple before separation, but the actors did get some powerful on-screen moments. Jin Goo, despite his severe lack of dialogue, managed to speak volumes with his eyes. Kim Ji-won-I has gotten some of her best character beats in in the second half of the drama, which makes me mourn the beginning of the drama were her character was a tad whiny. She's quite the talented actress. The moments between Dae-yeong and Si-jin were also quite powerful. I hesitate to call their relationship a "bromance" because although it contains the cuteness we often associate with the word, their relationship runs much deeper than that. They are friends, brothers, and comrades. They banter with each other, but they will literally take bullets for each other. They talk about girls, but they also talk about life and death. Their relationship is highlighted so starkly in this episode that it makes me ache for the same attention earlier in the drama. Spoiler Another strong point of this episode was the production. Silence and sound and music were constantly juxtaposed to play with emotions, especially at the end when Mo-yeon stood in the desert. Not even the sound of the wind could be heard until hope flooded her heart. When Myeong-joo's father receives the news that Si-jin's and Dae-yeong's bodies were not found, he and the other soldiers stand solemnly in the rain, soaked from head to toe as the raindrops pattered on the ground and the reflections of the soldiers wavered sadly in the puddles. Water played a huge role in the imagery of the episode from rain, to puddles, to snow, to tears. It's the best use of imagery I've seen since the first week of the drama when the color red was used to transitions between medical tubes and bleeding men. After watching these characters struggle for fifteen episodes, I have one thing to say towards Dae-yeong: Don't go towards the light! We need some happiness!

Popular Post Chellsee Posted April 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2016 Handsome men of DOTS! ~~~~~~~~~ Watch: “Descendants of the Sun” Fan Video Shows Song Joong Ki’s and Song Hye Kyo’s Lives Before Reincarnation As many parodies of “Descendants of the Sun” are being made with the drama coming to a close, a new fan video was released showing Yoo Si Jin (Song Joong Ki) and Kang Mo Yeon (Song Hye Kyo) having met in their past lives before being reincarnated to meet again. The fan video is titled “What If Yoo Si Jin and Kang Mo Yeon Met in Their Past Lives?” and the story is set in historical times. The creator of the video edited Song Joong Ki’s parts in “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” and Song Hye Kyo’s parts in “Hwang Jin Yi” together to illustrate their individual lives. The video goes back and forth from the past and current times. The caption, “We were repeatedly in love in a different time,” shows that they have met before, too, before meeting in present times. Song Joong Ki gets hurt while running away in the past, and the video changes to when Song Hye Kyo is treating his wounds in the present. Watch the fan video below: This smooth transition and story flow is making viewers point out that the creator of this fan video is very talented, proved by other videos this user made on the channel. Watch “Descendants of the Sun” from the beginning and see what kind of ideas you can come up with! http://www.soompi.com/2016/04/13/watch-descendants-of-the-sun-fan-video-shows-song-joong-kis-and-song-hye-kyos-lives-before-reincarnation/ 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
