SUMMARY OF DESCENDANT OF THE
SUN(SPOILER WARNING)
DESCENDANT OF THE SUN: YOO SI_JIN (Song Joong-ki) is the captain of a South Korean Special
Forces unit.
He and his friend Master Sergeant SEO DAE YOUNG (Jin Goo) are off-duty when they witness a young man stealing a
motorcycle and apprehend him. The thief, Kim Gi-bum (Kim Min-seok), is injured during the
chase and therefore sent to the hospital. DAE
YOUNG realizes his cell phone was stolen by the thief and goes to the
hospital along with SI JIN to
retrieve it.
In
the emergency room, SI JIN meets DR KANG MO YEON (Song Hye-kyo) for the first time, and is instantly attracted to her. MO YEON mistakenly assumes SI JIN is part of the thief's criminal
gang after hearing him being addressed as "Big Boss", which is
actually his call sign. He proves his identity
with the help of army surgeon YOON MYUNG
JU (Kim Ji-won).
SI JIN and MO YEON begin to date, but due to SI JIN being called in for duty, their dates are interrupted
halfway. SI JIN receives his orders
to be deployed on a peacekeeping mission in the fictional war-torn country of
Uruk. Meanwhile, MO YEON is upset
because she had been passed over for professorship in favor of a less-capable
colleague who had familial connections to the hospital management. When SI JIN returns and meets MO YEON again, she directly asks him to
explain his sudden disappearances and his job but he is unable to go into too
much detail due to the highly classified nature of his assignments. They talk about their views on
life and realize how different they are. SI
JIN, as a soldier, kills to protect lives while MO YEON, as a doctor, honors the Hippocratic Oath and tries to save lives. Due to their philosophical
differences, they agree to part ways. DAE
YOUNG, on the other hand, faces a dilemma on whether to continue his
relationship with MYUNG JU or risk
being forced out of the army for breaking fraternization rules by MYUNG JU’S father, who is a three-star
general and commander of the Special Forces.
Eight
months later, MO YEON rebuffs the
romantic advances of the hospital director and, as a result, is assigned
against her will to lead a team of medical volunteers to Uruk. There, SI JIN and MO YEON reunite and both gain a deeper insight into one another's
jobs as their respective teams endure an earthquake and a viral epidemic. While
in Uruk, MO YEON accidentally
confesses her feelings (much to the amusement of their respective teams) and
the two officially start dating. She gradually comes to terms with the
possibility of him being killed in action and the fact that she may never have
full disclosure of his whereabouts. In the meantime, the usually stoic DAE YOUNG finally works up the nerve to
show more affection toward MYUNG JU
after she nearly dies in quarantine after being infected with the virus.
SI JIN and MO YEON continue their relationship after returning to Korea, until
SI JIN and DAE YOUNG are sent on a classified operation in which they
disappear and are assumed to be dead. Months pass, and MO YEON mourns SI JIN’S
death, deciding to commemorate his passing by volunteering with a medical team
sent to Albania while MYUNG JU was
sent on a medical mission in Urk. This is where SI JIN eventually finds her on the day of their one-year death
anniversary while DAE YOUNG went to
Urk to find MYUNG JU after reporting
they are alive to the Military Headquarters. Where he told MO YEON that he and DAE
YOUNG are rescued from captivity by "a friend from afar", a soldier
from North Korea whom SI JIN had
helped before. SI JIN and MO YEON along with MUNG JU and DAE YOUNG
are all happily reunited with each other.
