The speed by which Descendants of the Sun burst out of the gate is making it a drama Secretariat, poised for a wire-to-wire lead and getting such a head start that it can cruise comfortably. This will likely be the last post about this drama’s ratings unless and until it breaks 30%, but still worth one more chat about today since it feels (and was) so long ago that a drama broke 20% this fast and is staying out. Episode 4 of DotS got 24.1% AGB nationwide, an increase of .7%, while TNmS nationwide rose 1.1% to 22.9% ratings.
Both Please Come Back Ahjussi and One More Happy Ending basically stayed put, Ahjusshi got 5.5% AGB nationwide and Happy Ending managed 3.7%. That means any disruption to the viewing pattern on Wed-Thurs night will potentially have to wait until the arrival of MBC drama Goodbye Mr. Black. Another long term accomplishment to watch out for is on DotS maintaining even the current ratings in the mid-20s, if it does that then the drama will indeed average above 20%. If DotS breaks 30% in the latter half of its run then it will set the new modern day ratings standard for prime time K-dramas.
I’m so happy with this drama as a whole but especially with how both sets of OTP have their own unique chemistry and struggles, making for a complementary one-two punch in doubling the reasons to stay interested in this story.

WOHOO. Loving the show and today's episode just killed my heart. Can't wait to watch more.
Thanks for the news. Such a great show.
I'm just happy that instead of love triangle, this drama sets two separated couple right from the start and no misunderstanding whatsoever about such I-like--you-but-you-love-her story. But for petty jealous Sj that would be fine.
Episode 4 and the OTP have already kissed!!!! Dayum.
Thank you KBS!!!! I truly am sincerely happy for you. I thought you deserve this triumph after giving us Healer and I Remember You. Now your party time has arrived! Cheers!
Yah right after HEALER this one makes a different again in Korean Drama, it's something like you want to keep watching over and over because you really can't get enough!!!
All the four leads are sensible people, albeit with flaws. There is no birth secret. There is no crazy lady/man in the love triangle. There is no non-sense angel.
I'm loving both couples too... Awesome chemistry from all four of them, and the vibe from the two OTPs are also different... Making us stay on watching~
I find this drama very addicting. I love the lead couple in this episode and I love the flashbacks of the military couple and how they got together. But hope there is more to this than him looking stoic and her slapping and being mean to a non-com which is career ending in the real world.
Having said that, Come Back, Mister is really good with a complex and entertaining story line with some excellent writing and the lead actors are doing a fantastic job. Glad I get to watch them both.
I wish Come Back Mister was getting better ratings. It really is great so far. Bizzare, but entertaining.
This episode I fell in love with the second lead couple their chemistry was off the roof and their interaction in the flash back was amazing, I wish they could have their own spinoff. How is it that this writer makes amazing second lead coupling? I also grew warmer to SHK and the way she cried for and went to defend SJK was so sweet. The only thing lacking is the Villain.
SJK and KJW has better chemistry :D
It has been so long since I last saw a couple with such a great chemistry as SHK and SJK in DOTS.
Who else love that Myung Joo did the grab on Dae Young? That groan inducing move is always pulled on the woman characters so it was nice to see the opposite
