One-Line Verdict

“Although it is a drama that defies reality—having recorded a viewership rating of 38.8%—it evokes a sense of romantic excitement; while it features elements of a childish fantasy, it is also grounded”

Overview

Yoo Si-jin (Song Joong-ki), a Special Forces captain, first meets Kang Mo-yeon (Song Hye-kyo), a surgeon at Haesung Hospital, while apprehending a motorcycle thief; they clear up a misunderstanding and develop a mutual attraction.

Although they part ways due to differing values, they are reunited by fate in Uruk, a region plagued by disaster and conflict.
