So after much suggesting by Netflix I’ve started watching Descendants of the Sun and My god please tell me the female lead grows a brain at some point

    I know! I am in a remote area at an army base, this seems like a good time go for a walk by myself and jump over this security fence!

    I have repeatedly been told my career is not progressing due to lack of connections, so the chairman must be asking me to dinner not propositioning me

    Honestly, I binged and I can barely remember anything about the drama. I mean, it’s as easily watching as forgetting what it is about.

    And I don’t think she gets any smarter.

      Oh, I only remember the bare-chested soldiers during their morning run.

    Not really 😂 but the 2nd leads were interesting and it was kinda fun if you don’t take the show seriously. Cos the whole war zone conflict plot was not good.

    Pretty sure there is zero character growth for anyone in that drama. It’s basically just a series of pretty and amusing vignettes with the barest idea of a plot holding it together. I think my brain purged most of the drama after each episode. It’s fun, but nothing actually happens. I’m still baffled as to how it was so popular.

    Just about 3months ago or so i also watch DoTS, thanks to vincenzo withdrawal syndrome. Theres no any kind of growing or development happened in the entire show.

    Do they engaged or in the more serious stage in relationship? No.
    Work promotion? No.
    Uruk become significantly better? No. Nothing. Theyre just wooing each other and nothing else.

      @nilsche: Also what kind of an idiot names the country “uruk” when there is so much tragic real baggage associated with Iraq, a real country? It showed gross indifference, ignorance and execrable artistic judgment. The bad juju probably followed the main leads leading to their divorce 2 years later.

    @beffels: This is a very late answer to your Qn but nope- The entire series has many absurdities. A war torn country that looks like Greece and is called ‘uruk’ (that is offensive in itself), ‘refugees’ which look like someone has hired them from a terrible casting agency, a hospital staff that can just get up and leave for a ‘mission’, and an ‘elite SAS team’ that are babysitters for the hospital staff as opposed to doing ops, and the cherry in top, chopper picking up Song Jungki twice on his dates to take him to secret missions. That last one was so ridiculous it just cracked me up.
    For me the best parts were the camaraderie between the Song Jungki and the actor that played the sargeant, and the latter’s relationship with his superior in rank girlfriend. I

        @beffels: Please don’t. I hate watched it. In retrospect, should have used those hours much more wisely. And, may I mention one more absurdity? Wearing shorts to a ‘war torn’ country!! Just beyond ridiculous. Covering one’s hair but wearing shorts. Aigoo.
