Descendants of the Sun

 

Captain of the Korean Special Forces Yoo Si-jin and Dr. Kang Mo-yeon are people he encounters while transporting a juvenile thief to the hospital with Master Sergeant Seo Dae-young. 

He draws her in right away, but she thinks he was the one who hurt the man. They begin dating when their mistake is cleared up, and everything seems to be going well until he gets moved to Uruk, a fictitious nation in the Balkans. Though it would mark the end of their romance, Dr. Kang and her staff are soon given the responsibility of managing a field hospital in Uruk. The soldier and doctor are reunited as a result. Together, they had to overcome a number of threats, including an earthquake and a run-in with a band of criminals lead by one of Yoo Si-former jin's allies. There are other relationships; Master Sergeant Seo Dae-young has an on-again, off-again relationship with First Lieutenant Yoon Myung-ju, who is forbidden from dating enlisted men by her father, a general.

I really liked this series since it had a pleasant main plot with lots of laughter and a few very tense sequences. There are moments of peril in most episodes, but overall, one shouldn't worry too much about the ultimate safety of our characters. The cast is excellent, and Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-chemistry kyo's as Captain Yoo and Dr. Kang made it seem like they might eventually get married in real life. The other characters, particularly the little ones, are all OK. The landscapes in Greece, which stand in for the fictitious Uruk, are breathtakingly lovely. The level of suspension of disbelief required is moderate, and it is lighthearted; anyone with actual combat experience would surely find the nonchalant attitude of the soldiers represented here amusing. Overall, if you want a strong romantic narrative with some action, I'd definitely suggest this.
