If there is a perfect KDrams in every aspect, this one's it: intrigue, mystery, action, suspense with a powerful love story.
I've seen over 150 KDramas so far, and this one continues to outshine virtually all the rest.
Well written, directed and acted with a fabulous OST, there's not one plot point missed, overlooked, or useless in this FASCINATING story of the best-in-his-field covert operative whose assignment brings across his path a unique woman with whom he will ultimately fall in love.
There are incredible twists and turns along the way, plenty of action for guys (this one kept my subtitle unloving husband engaged and on the edge of his seat), with a powerful romance along the way.
This has pieces of so many other stories like Superman, Three Days of the Condor and the Bourne Trilogy, but I think this one outshines them all. I really don't want to say more, because I don't want to give any of the story away.
Ji Chang Wook excelled at this role which required him to be a kind of superman physically, while at the same time having the ability to don many "faces" and comport himself in multiple different ways including sweet, nerdy, hesitant, covert, resourceful, cagey, intelligent, capable, protective - all while taking a hard fall into love.
Park Min Young perfectly executes her role of the one girl who is the perfect fit for Healer in oh so many as well as some unique ways that are brilliantly written and executed, but totally unforeseen by us, the audience. All you can do is watch and marvel while understanding how perfect for him she truly is.
There are tense moments, moments of seeing true evil being done by those with no conscience for their actions, there are plot twists taking us in a direction we could not foresee, there is a hidden tie between the leads that comes to light, there are touching, sweet and even painful moments, there's a scrumptious romance, and there are some hysterically funny LOL moments, such as the first time Healer goes into Chae Young-Shin's father's café in episode two, as well as Healer revealing who he truly is to her father in episode 20.
This is one that can be watched multiple times, and more pieces will click as you do.
This one is NOT to be missed!
Just watch it.
You won't regret it.
I promise.

This is the best production I have seen in well over 20 years. It has two amazing love stories, action, adventure, suspense, and I can guarantee you won't regret watching it.
The opening scene is on-the-edge-of-your-seat riveting as we see hand-to-hand combat and knife fight between the top Special Forces Alpha Team's Captain Yoo Si Jin, his Sergeant best friend and second in command Seo Dae Young and two N. Koreans who've infiltrated S. Korea's lookout post in the DMZ, taken S. Korean soldiers therein hostage requiring them to be rescued by the Alpha Team - quietly - for diplomatic reasons.
On leave, Yoo Si Jin falls at first sight for a non-nonsense, top of her field doctor Kang Mo Yeon who is anything but a pushover. Her lack of understanding of the military and how it works leads her to ultimately reject him, but circumstances bring them both to the other side of the world in a primitive and remote location with many challenges and dangers. There she not only sees him in action, but comes to understand and appreciate what he does as well as him as a person. The secondary couple's story is even more complex due to them being the second in command Sergeant Seo Dae Young of the top Special Forces team and an Army Lt medical doctor Yoon Myeong-Joo and (like ours in the USA) the non-fraternization issue standing between them. Added to the hurdle is her being the daughter of a three-star General who is also in command of the Special Forces units and the quagmire deepens. Not only are the actors amazing in this show, the script is incredibly well written, the directing spot on, and the soundtrack is also amazing. The songs are fantastic and the instrumentals are great. The main instrumental love theme (oddly entitled "Mission 1"), is exquisite. Being the very first K Drama I ever watched, Descendants of the Sun is what hooked me on Kdramas. At present, I'm well on my way to having seen 200 of them and thus far, they are trouncing Hollywood every time. Nothing in recent history compares to Descendants of the Sun. It has it all. This show alone proves that Korea is doing a better job than trashy Hollywood. American actors have nothing to be so arrogant about in comparison. Someone should sit them down and open their eyes to the S. Korean new kids on the block who are doing it better - ALL THE TIME.
