MANILA, Philippines – We know, we know – fans of the Song-Song couple still can’t believe that happened. After all, we rooted for Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo the moment we saw their characters bicker and eventually fall in love in
A drama about a soldier and a surgeon who fall in love while on the front lines of a fictional war-torn country.
After their brief relationship in South Korea ended, Yoo Shi-jin (Song Joong-ki) and Kang Mo-yeon (Song Hye-kyo) meet again, this time in Uruk. Mo-yeon and her medical team arrive in the war-torn country and wait on the tarmac for their escort to arrive.

Enter Captain Shi-jin, leader of the Alpha Team, and some of his soldiers. Shi-jin ignores her at first but picks up her scarf later and hands it to her. They don’t say anything to each other, but the tension is palpable in this scene.
In this scene, Shi-jin and Mo-yeon are reminiscing about the time they briefly dated back in South Korea. Mo-yeon is drinking wine straight from the bottle, and teases Shi-jin since he’s not allowed to drink.
While driving alone, Mo-yeon figures in an accident where her car almost falls off a cliff. Her phone accidentally calls Shi-jin, and she asks for help after he picks up. Shi-jin arrives just as the car was about to totally fall off the cliff.

“Trust me and hold my hand tightly. Just close your eyes for a moment. I will save you, I promise, ” he tells Mo-yeon.
After another separation, Shi-jin and Mo-yeon meet again in Uruk as they both help in the aftermath of an earthquake. After Shi-jin ties Mo-yeon’s boot laces for her, he tells her he’s glad she’s not hurt and that he regrets not seeing her on the day he left Uruk.
Mo-yeon lends her phone so that their camp in Uruk can listen to some music, but the next song that plays turns out to be a recording she made during her literal cliffhanger experience (see no. 3). The recording apparently includes a message for Shi-jin: “If I knew I would die like this, then I should have told you my true feelings. I got kissed by an amazing man.”

Descendants Of The Sun” Reveals Beautiful New Pictures Of The Song Song Couple
Welcome back to Planet Kim Eun Sook. After the ponderous Inheritors (2013), the K-drama writer extraordinaire (Secret Garden, 2010; City Hall, 2009) has regained her form with Descendants Of The Sun, her red-hot latest show where the romantic action between exceptionally good-looking individuals is often as fast and furious as the banter.
(Seriously, drop-dead gorgeous and lovely might be actual character descriptions in the screenplay for the drama, which seems more lookist than is usual in South Korean television. It's quite possible to estimate the size of an actor's role here by looking at his face.)
Although Descendants begins with a military incident between the two Koreas, any anxiety about too much ripped-from-the-headlines realism intruding on the world of the drama should dissipate by the end of episode one, when the soldier succeeds in asking the surgeon out, only to have to stand her up spectacularly. He gets a call from work and has to go to the nearest rooftop to wait to be ferried to a top-secret assignment by helicopter.

As he boards and takes one last look at the doctor's forlorn figure - I… love… you, a wistful Yoon Mi Rae sings on the soundtrack - the theme of the drama crystallises.
The surgeon is a woman with a First World problem in a five-star package. She has a mystery man who is totally into her but who keeps leaving. Yet the drama also keeps reuniting them in airbrushed, beautified real-world circumstances.
In episode two, it sends the soldier on a peacekeeping mission to Urk, a fictional war-ravaged but charming country played by Greece, then drops the surgeon in his camp. She is there not just to save children, clearly, but also to go with him for drives that are filled with stunning landscapes and romantic tension.

In Deep Rooted Tree (2011) and The Innocent Man (2012), he showed he had the steel to play fearless or heartless men - to be taken seriously as an actor, despite his pretty face.
In Descendants, playing a man who is an ardent suitor but also a reluctant frequent deserter - my work itself gives me the lower hand in this relationship, he admits - Song hits the sweet spot in each of his scenes with Song Hye Kyo.
