KDrama: Decendants of The Sun

DECENDANTS OF THE SUN


Shi-Jin (Song Joong-Ki) is the captain of the special forces. He catches a motorcycle thief with Sergeant Major Dae-Young (Jin Goo). The thief is injured during his capture and is sent to the hospital. Dae-Young realises his cellphone was stolen by the thief and goes to the hospital to retrieve his cellphone.
In the emergency room, Shi-Jin meets Dr. Mo-Yeon (Song Hye-Kyo) for the first time. He falls in love with her immediately. Mo-Yeon mistakenly assumes Shi-Jin is part of thief's criminal gang. He proves to her that he is a soldier with the help of army doctor Myeong-Joo (Kim Ji-Won).
Shi-Jin and Mo-Yeon begin to date, but due to their jobs their dates don't go well. Shi-Jin takes an order to lead his soldiers on a peacekeeping mission to the country of Uruk. Meanwhile, Mo-Yeon becomes upset that she fails to become a professor due to a colleague's privileged background. When Shi-Jin and Mo-Yeon meet again, they talk about their views on life and realise how different they are. Shi-Jin, as a soldier, kills to protect lives and Mo-Yeon, as a doctor, tries to save all lives. They say their goodbyes.
Eight months later, Mo-Yeon rebuffs the sexual advances of hospital chairman Suk-Won (Tae In-Ho) and as retribution is assigned to lead a medical team in Uruk. There, Shi-Jin and Mo-Yeon meet again.Through their encounters in Uruk—an earthquake and an epidemic—their love for each other grows stronger. While in Uruk, Mo-yeon accidentally confesses her feelings and the two officially start dating, much to the amusement of their respective teams.

Back in Korea, the two of them continue their dates until Si-jin and Dae-young are sent on an operation in which they disappear and are assumed to be dead. Months pass, and Mo-yeon mourns his death, deciding to commemorate his passing with a volunteer trip to Albania. This is where Si-jin eventually finds her after he and Dae-young are rescued from captivity by "a friend from afar", a soldier from North Korea whom Si-jin had earlier helped save the life of. Si-jin and Mo-yeon are happily reunited. Meanwhile Dae-young goes back in an emotional reunion to Myung-ju, who is stationed in Uruk.


CAST


  • Song Joong-ki as Captain Yoo Si-jin (aka Big Boss)
The team leader of Alpha Team, an elite special forces unit in South Korea. He is a soldier from a family with a military background. He highly respects his father who is honourably discharged as a Sergeant Major. He possesses both academic and physical abilities, making him a complete soldier. He graduated from the Korea Military Academy and is current a Captain in the army. His belief that beautiful women, the elderly and children deserve to be protected, the courage to meddle in on high schoolers who smoke on the streets and the common sense that wrong is wrong despite having a gun pointed at his head are all part of Si-jin's love for country and a soldier's honour. He is easy-going, lively character who is confident and at times witty and likes to joke around, depending on the situation.
  • Song Hye-kyo as Doctor Kang Mo-yeon (aka Beauty)
 A cardiothoracic specialist who works at Haesung Hospital. She is portrayed as a self-assertive woman who has the greatest abilities but rather confines herself in the operating theatre. She believes that competence overrules connections but is hit by the harsh reality that she cannot go anywhere without any connections. She is a woman with principles and doesn't fall prey easily to her emotions. Overall, she is a complete asset, with her speaking abilities unrivaled by anyone else and is not afraid to admit her mistakes.
  • Kim Ji-won as First Lieutenant Yoon Myung-ju 
A terrific soldier who has eyes for only one man. She is not only a soldier but an army surgeon and an orthopedic specialist. She is also the daughter of Lieutenant General Yoon, commander of the South Korean Special Forces Brigade. She follows her father's footsteps and graduates from the Korea Military Academy before undergoing internship at Haesung Hospital with Mo-yeon. At her first assignment she meets Dae-young, a sergeant with a GED background. For the first time, she regrets being a soldier but refuses to back down. She is truthful with her feelings and in order to protect her love, she is willing to endure any danger and face everything straight on.
  • Jin Goo as Sergeant Major Seo Dae-young (aka Wolf)
A soldier down to the core because he is as if he was wearing clothes of a soldier rather than a civilian. His heart moves at the thought that he is protecting his family and his homeland with his own two hands. He has experience in dealing with disasters. Since heavy actions are more comfortable than lighthearted conversations, he doesn't know how to express himself freely. However, within the shell of this hardcore soldier is a good heart which is deeper than anyone else's.
