After getting her passport confiscated due to a misunderstanding, she was left in the mercies of Tan who has been living in the Orange State for the past 3 years in exile. However, when she got there, she discovered that her sister has been lying to them all along. With the hierarchical system in Korean society, calling their relationship "stormy" is an understatement to the nth degree.Įun-sang went to California to visit her sister who was supposed to get married to her American boyfriend. Kim Tan (Lee Min-ho) and Cha Eun-sang (Park Shin-hye) played star-crossed lovers where the former is a chaebol heir while the latter is the daughter of a housemaid.

As for this one, the series started off in California with a very tanned Lee Min-ho. Descendants of the Sun, most of the story was set in a fictional town of Uruk-which was actually filmed in Greece (somewhere in the Middle East). One thing I noticed about her work is that she likes writing settings outside of Korea. So far, this is the third drama of hers that I've watched. Check out the BTS below that I found in Youtube.Īs noted above, the series was written by Kim Eun-sook and she's known to have written quality and good dramas. I'm actually shipping him more with Park Shin-hye. A couple of rowdy boys passed by and he even scolded them as Eun-sang was sleeping. Young-do sat with her and watched over her as she slept. She sleep-walked her way to the nearby convenience store when she drank something and went out to sit outside and sleep. Eun-sang left the house where they were staying and was still half-sleep. I even found their first meeting touching. He started off as a bad boy but there was still goodness in him as evidenced by him falling in love with Eun-sang. What is wrong with your foreheads?īut truthfully, I liked how his character developed and changed throughout the series. I still can't get the hang out of the bangs hairstyle that is favored among oppas. I like his bad boy look in The Heirs before he took down his bangs to make it look that he changed. Last I heard, he's currently on the mend so I hope he does recuperate soon. It's sad though that he's currently on hiatus due to his illness. I've heard of friends rave over him and watching this, I now understand why. Here's a video of him singing the song during one of his fan meets in Beijing. He even sang a song which was included in the drama's OST. But I prefer a mature LMH so it might take time before I will watch that. This is his second drama that I've watched and I have yet to tackle Boys Over Flowers where he really became well-known. Never did his love waver even when they broke up. I liked how he pursued Eun-sang even when she pushed him away because of the disparity of their respective backgrounds. It was refreshing for him to meet Eun-sang and he fell in love with her (and this was when he already has a fiancee *eye-roll*). Tan struggled while he was in California as he missed his family and friends. It took time for me to figure out why but Won wanted to avoid fighting with his brother over the ownership of the family company. The shows here in the Philippines send their erring children to the US too. His character, Kim Tan, was exiled to the US (I laughed when I realized this as apparently, it's a shared "best practice" among dramas. If there's one thing I can say about the Korean race (actually, even the Chinese and Japanese people), they truly have good skin. He was 26 years old when this series was shot and he played an 18-year old. The story follows a group of rich, privileged kids who are trained to take over the businesses of their parents (thus, the title) and their daily struggles to become what their parents want to be and what at the same time, be what they want to be. It starred Lee Min-ho, Park Shin-hye, and Kim Woo-bin and written by Kim Eun-sook (yep, same writer of Goblin and Descendants of the Sun). Not the "oldest" Korean drama that I've watched (that honor goes to Moon Embracing the Sun), but this was shown on October to December 2013. Here I am again, deviating from my usual order of posting to write my review of this drama while my brain is still buzzing from the high after binge-watching this for 3 days.
