I'd rather not post a summary or synopsis of this drama. I am afraid it would be a very long one if I make one. There are a lot of websites out there discussing or having a summary about this, check out Wiki for a general summary.

Well, Joong Ki is back on drama land. His face is as charming and fresh as before. Song Hye Kyo was the perfect female lead for this drama. They had chemistry. It was so much fun watching them like cats and dogs fighting then friendly again. I look  forward for every episode. The supporting characters are also great actors.

This was set in Greece, such a lovely place. The way the angles were shot were amazing. Everything about the production was carefully planned. Descendants of the sun is not the typical drama because filming was finished for all episodes even before it was aired. A sequel is set to be released in 2017 but not with the same production team, so it won't be Joong Ki or Hye Kyo.
