You never know. Today’s plan might change tomorrow.

Descendants of the Sun FAQ — holds can become passes.

Pass OR Fail

AI Review My Draft & Publish uses this bar. The Result field names a pass or a hold. A pass offers Publish now or Keep working. Publish now opens the live short. Keep working stays in the editor. Human Review & Publish waits for an editor.

Pass

Original prose: a short, a scene, weather and cloth and silence.
Kissing, massage, holding, a door closing — fade-to-black.
Tropes as craft: the umbrella, the rain, the almost-confession. Not someone else’s plot.
A title and a story. Not a blank box.

Fail

Shooting-script format: EPISODE, EXT./INT., CHARACTER:, OST swell.
Episode-by-episode recaps and long quoted dialogue from a real show.
Stills, screenshots, OST files, subtitle files, piracy links.
Punching down at a real actor’s body or private life.
Oral sex or coitus on the page — even one small line or euphemism.
Crude genital slang (pussy, cock, dick, and friends) — even as a joke, typo, or compound like “pussy dorms.”

Script → prose

Same rain, same umbrella — as paragraphs. No sluglines, no (CONT’D), no camera push.

Fail: EXT. GANGNAM SIDEWALK – NIGHT. JI-WOO (CONT’D). OST swell.

Pass: Heavy rain blurred the neon. A black umbrella opened over her. He did not explain.

Recap → pattern

Keep the device. Lose their sixteen episodes. We publish original feelings, not a stolen rundown.

Fail: Episode 1 coffee spill. Episode 2 contract. Episode 3 umbrella. Watch it here.

Pass: She left the office with a soggy handkerchief. He covered her like the rain was the only witness.

Still → cloth

Do not attach an official frame. Write the wet sleeve. Write the neon. Leave the screenshot off the page.

Gossip → trope

Roast the rain confession. Leave the actress’s face, weight, marriage, and surgery out of it.

Heat → fade

A kiss can stay. Massage can stay. A door can close. A sex act — oral or coitus, graphic or small — has to come out.
