There hasn’t been much secondary OTP screen time in the first two episodes of Descendants of the Sun, but that hasn’t stopped plenty of viewers from shipping the characters played by Jin Goo as a stoic soldier and Kim Ji Won as a fiery military doctor. Jin Goo is the most visually perfect casting among the four leads, and is so far delivering a pitch perfect performance to go along with it. His bromance with Song Joong Ki is fantastic, and in his spare time one just knows that he’s brooding internally over giving up Kim Ji Won’s character because of the whole military rank barrier thing.
Seeing her in army fatigues in her hospital confrontation reminded me of a kitten hissing visually, but the great emotional eye acting from her sold it in the end. The third OST song from the drama will be showcasing the romance of Dae Young and Hyung Joo, a ballad called “This Love” by Davichi. An official teaser preview dropped this week with new scenes featuring the second leads, and the song sounds like another winner. Asking the production to not overuse it like it’s beating “Always” by Yoon Mirae into the ground clearly won’t happen so everyone start liking this now, lol.

honestly i started this drama for kim ji won and i'm going to continue it for her, but besides that i'm really looking forward to this couple's relationship developing onscreen. for most of kim eun sook's dramas that i've watched the secondary couple always keeps me more engaged than the main one (ex. a gentleman's dignity and heirs). however i'm pleasantly surprised that i actually like the main couple in dots enough that i'm not forwarding their scenes like i did for the two dramas i mentioned previously! i just hope the drama continues to be fast paced like it was for the first two episodes. cringe worthy i can handle but if the plot starts to slow down i don't think i'll be able to take it
Dang!!! That 13 second teaser just won me over for this couple! Compared to the main couple, this couple is oozing with chemistry!
36 second teaser I meant! Lol I may have to watch this for the second couple!
yes for kim ji won! the ultimate reason for watching but SJK is such a scene stealer ?... I'm a new fan I have to admit although not a fan of his old dramas.
Kim Eun-sook's secondary couples are always more interesting than the main couples.
Their chemistry blows SJK+SHK out of the water... gah, I'm watching this snoozefest for them!
Must be why DotS's doing so well in the ratings even when KJW was absent for a whole episode. /s
For once, we have a drama with no love triangles and well-drawn characters whether main or secondary, but sure, let's keep the pie fights.
Eh. Personally I'm fast-forwarding most scenes that don't have Jin Goo and/or Jiwon in them. (I just can't with the sappy romance between the main leads even though they basically met for one date before the whole separation-thing.)
And I have no problem with that. To each her own. Just pointing out it's a matter of personal preference, and the ratings suggest something else re: the supposed snoozefest.
Lol, as a fan of Kdrama, you must know that ratings have little to do with actual quality or entertainment value.
Seriously, so annoying people have to act like this. You really don't have to diss one couple to like the other.
@CL If you actually think chemistry is a matter of preference why are you getting so pissy about people not liking the main 2? The previous commenter didn't attack them, she just said he considers their plot boring. You even try to look annoyed by the supposed 'fight' between fans of these couples, but you don't even realize you're the one who's starting things.
I want more....Jin Goo is seriously handsome and such an underrated actor.
I guess I'm the only one who doesnt feel the second couple vibe...
I felt nothing for secondary couple.no chemistry feeling. But jg is awesome as individual playing in it.
+1
Same w/ me
No, it makes sense why you might not be feeling the vibe. Jiwon was completely absent from the second episode, and there's literally been like 5 minutes of the second couple romance so far in the series.
As a couple, nah I don't feel it. He's obviously a good guy, but treats her pretty poorly. Nothing swoon worthy about it. I can't deal with people who are aren't honest their feelings. She has no issue with their rank, but he's deciding everything on his own. Nope.
Jin Goo is so masculine and manly in this drama. I am not sold on her but totally sold on him brooding about her.
SJK is eye candy for sure. But JG sells the Special Forces soldier look and demeanour. I am here for the secondary romance and fast fw the main leads cheesy moments.
Its definitely a teaser alright!! Lol
I'm liking the couple and the song so far. Between Davichi and that exo guys's song, we might have an OST as a winner of song of the year in 2016.
