Descendants of the Sun series is very close to my heart. During my initial craze in k-dramas, I binge-watched this series. This series contains a whole load of emotions and I can relate it to real life also. I must say it could be the fantasy of someone to have this kind of relationship where you come close then separate mutually and then meet again and so on.
This series is revolve around the relationship between a doctor and a soldier and a soldier-soldier relationship. This series is one of the Most Popular Shows of the year in 2016 named by the Korea Broadcasting Advertising Corporation.
Synopsis
Yoo Si-jin (Song Joong-ki) is the captain and also his friend Sergeant Seo Dae-young (Jin Goo) in the South Korean Special Force. They both are on the holiday and were enjoying an arcade where they caught a man stealing a motorcycle. Later on. Dae-young found that he lost his mobile which is stolen by the thief who was sent to the hospital due to injury. They went to the hospital to catch the thief where Si-jin meets Dr. Kang Mo-yeon (Song Hye-kyo) who is the attending doctor to the thief.
When Captain saw the doctor he feels attracted to her. She thinks that he is a member of a criminal gang because the sergeant calls him “Big Boss” which is his call sign. He proves his innocence through army surgeon Yoon Myung-Ju (Kim Ji-won) who is found out to be a rival of hers in medical school. Myung-Ju likes Dae-young from the very start but had to be involved with Si-jin because of their family relationship.
Si-jin and Mo-yeon start to date but he had to leave for his secret mission without telling her anything. After a few months when they met, she decides to break up with him as it was impossible for them in a relationship due to their professional work.
