Rewatching and realizing it isn't that good
I may be biased because I just finished watching the ALL TIME best kdrama Kill Me, Heal Me. In short, this drama nowhere near compares to KMHM so this review may be slightly biased.
---STORY---
The story is pretty good if you think about it. A doctor goes oversees to a third world country, meets a soldier and falls in love with him. This story could have been spun in so many ways and it could have been made SO much more interesting (think Crash Landing on You). From the beginning, there is like no real obstacle to their relationship. Besides the misunderstanding in the first episode, everything is pretty much smooth sailing, except for a couple of uncertainties on Mo-yeon's part. This is what I don't like. I like when couples have to overcome so many obstacles and we're finally rewarded with like the ULTIMATE and romantic kiss scene. I just think the relationship was too easy and I don't like that.
A drama with a relationship made so easy should just be all laughs and fun, but the creators tried to make it serious with all the problems they encountered in Urk, and it doesn't really work.
There's a lot of hype about the drama and I don't really see why. I was kind of hesitant to drop the drama actually the second time I watched it because I felt compelled to finish it because everyone raves about it. To be honest, it would've been perfect if they had stopped the drama after 14-15 episodes (I stopped at 13 this time), right after they return from Urk.
---ACTING---
I remember a Song Joong Ki from Running Man and I was really shocked with his acting skills. He's so boyish and charismatic in this drama, no one can deny that. I had no idea he was such a good actor, because his personality is far from being cocky, for this I gave the casting 9/10.
I wouldn't say I felt a chemistry between Joong Ki and Hye Ko, maybe because of the lack of a struggle, idk.
---MUSIC---
Again, comparing this kdrama to KMHM, the music doesn't really do anything for the show. Usually the music moves me to tears or cheers me up, but this drama's music was so not memorable, I couldn't even sing it to you.
---OVERALL---
I liked the drama in Urk, although it would've been nice if they stayed in Urk and kept having to overcome obstacles. The earthquake, pandemic and kidnapping were a bit too sudden and rushed, occurring one RIGHT after another and seems slightly unrealistic. I stopped watching when they returned to Korea so I can't judge the rest of the show, but I think they should've ended the show there. I don't think I would rewatch this and I typically hate disagreeing with the general public, but I just didn't really enjoy this drama all that much. At times I was bored and would go on my phone and I felt no excitement between the two lead.
