I'm in love with the drama. It's been a long time since I've watched one like this. At first I wasn't sure If I would like it because of the war background. But I really like Song Hye Kyo and I don't regret starting. I really advise people to watch it. Sure there are love stories but not only, it's not "too sweet".
I refused to watch it during all the hype years ago haha , however after watching Vincenzo with Song Joong Ki, I decided to finally take the plunge. It was pretty good, however I didn't feel the magic much maybe because the main leads are no longer together so I couldn't bring myself to fall for their romance on screen. (my fault for delaying). I liked watching the second lead romance developing instead. The soundtrack was great anyways, already familiar with it despite not watching. The plushies are also in my wish list basket There's also another 'similar' c-drama that I found much better and sweeter than DotS and would also recommend - "You are my hero".
