Shi Jin updates Colonel Park on the situation on the base and the Colonel wants Shi Jin to take a big step back. He also hears that the UN is tracking all the people who may have come in contact with patient zero the Manager.
Mo Yeon calls Daniel to confirm that the requested vaccines are being sent to the base. He whines about missing her and she promises to be back before that thought crosses his mind. Song but he’s well enough to flirt with her, teasing her about the much improved blood drawing skills, which she reluctantly admits is thanks to Dr. He hands Dae Young a walkie talkie so he can communicate with Myung Joo in the hospital quarantine.ĭae Young calls Myung Joo with her own walkie talkie and two basically try to cheer each other on but end up crying with how much they miss each other. Dae Young is apologetic for being out of commission during such a critical time but Shi Jin just wants him to buck up. Shi Jin mobilizes the soldiers to stay healthy by keeping sanitary while reminding them that their mission here remains unchanged.ĭae Young is now in quarantine in the storage room and Shi Jin pays him a visit. Mo Yeon directs the medical staff to set up the case as ground zero for the M3 virus spread, preparing quarantine zones and taking the blood sample of every person to check for exposure. Shi Jin and Mo Yeon discuss how certain people can have an adverse reaction to immunizations, and maybe Myung Joo’s strong immune system might become a problem. Dae Young thanks her for the explanation. Mo Yeon takes Dae Young’s blood to test and explains to him about the M3 virus – it’s even more deadly than Ebola with no known cure, but the chances of death are lower for younger people with stronger immune systems. Next scene shows that Myung Joo is now isolated in the same room as the Manager. Both are crying and Myung Joo is the first to pull apart from the hug, ordering Dae Young to do as she says. She asks that Dae Young be taken out of the room but he won’t go anywhere and wants to stay with Myung Joo. Shi Jin and Mo Yeon look devastated as Dae Young numbly hugs Myung Joo tightly. Of the two doctors exposed to the M3 virus, Myung Joo is the unfortunate one who tests positive and Mo Yeon dodges this virulent bullet. Their talk is interrupted by Dae Young and Shi Jin returning, and based on Dae Young immediately grabbing Myung Joo for a tight hug, it’s clear to the doctors what the test results are. Myung Joo gets serious and brings up how she said that she’s not scared of anything as long as she’s under the same sky as Dae Young. Mo Yeon and Myung Joo stare at the bloody diamonds retrieved from the Manager’s stomach and teases that they should each take one since only they know how many were in there. I really hope this is a mid-series hump and the next episode gets back to business. If the soldiers were able to thwart him that would help but he’s so brazen it’s hilarious how he’s always one step ahead even when people should be on guard against him. Maybe Argus is the negative x-factor, anytime he’s got more screen time everything just comes across stilted and forced, and it’s not because everyone needs to speak English for those scenes. Myung Joo and Dae Young missing each other was nicely played even if the odds of her dying from the M3 viral was next to none. Shi Jin and Mo Yeon either got less interesting now that they are dating, or their sizzle is predicated on flirting and banter and there was very little of that in this episode. Don’t get me wrong, the drama is still hella sleek and entertaining to watch but too much went on in episode 11 that came across as staidly plotted and with nary a well crafted twist in the mix. The story line was pushed forward in ways that seemed to check off boxes – contain viral outbreak, check little girl in peril, check bad guy makes his move, check guys worried about their girlfriends, check mopey doctor gets absolution, check.
This was one perfunctory episode of Descendants of the Sunand it came so unexpectedly, an hour that felt more like a crawl at really no fault of any particular element.
