'D.P' Korean Drama That Tells a Story About the Corruption of Military Members

Kapanlagi.com - D.P is the latest series from Netflix that was just released on August 27, 2021. D.P itself is an abbreviation of Deserter Pursuit which is the name of a special unit of the Army to track down soldiers who desert their duties. The story of this drama is actually adapted from a Webtoon titled D.P: Dog Days by Kim Bo-tong. The director collaborated with Kim Bo Tong to write the script for this drama so that viewers who watch it can still feel the tension when they read the comic version.

Not only to track down soldiers who desert their duties, D.P also tells about the inner conflicts faced by the main character which will certainly attract the attention of the audience. The special team of D.P must be very careful in carrying out their mission so that no one suspects their activities. The tense atmosphere will always envelop the audience due to the presence of several scenes of pursuit of several soldiers.

D.P has partnered with renowned actor Jung Hae In, who has starred in many Korean drama series and films. This handsome man becomes the main character as a soldier assigned to the D.P unit to investigate soldiers who go AWOL (absent without leave). Unlike in previous Korean dramas where he portrayed a romantic man, this time Jung Hae In will be a strict and observant soldier in carrying out his duties.

Jung Hae In is the main character who portrays a young man named An Jun Ho. He has a high level of patience that is different from other characters. An Jun Ho is known to be the most obedient to the rules and never commits any violations. With his intelligence to control emotions, he is able to overcome various obstacles in chasing deserters.

Not only Jung Hae In, an actor who often stars in several Korean dramas, Koo Kyo Hwan also participates in this drama. He plays the role of Han Ho Yeol, who is a senior soldier of An Jun Ho and is assigned to capture military defectors. Han Ho Yeol provides a lot of information about investigation procedures to An Jun Ho to avoid appearing reckless and succeed in carrying out the mission. Both of them will show great teamwork that will amaze the viewers with their actions.

The next actor is Kim Sung Kyun, who plays Park Beom Gu, the head of the D.P. unit. The character is made annoying but still responsible for his position, because he often scolds his subordinates An Jun Ho and Han Ho Yeol, causing both of them to work under pressure.

Then there is Son Suk Ku who plays the character Im Ji Seop, a graduate of the elite military academy in Korea and also serves as the Military Police Commander. The character Im Ji Seop is present to disrupt the special unit D.P, because he is too focused on his own work and never acknowledges the existence of the special unit D.P.

D.P tells the story of the recruitment of new military members, An Jun Ho, who is not accustomed to the military world. It can be seen that this new member has difficulties in adapting to the military world, but An Jun Ho is immediately chosen to join the special team D.P. This special team will carry out quite heavy missions.

He is demanded to be professional in his work even though he is always faced with inner conflicts carried out by superiors or seniors. Although he is a new member, An Jun Ho does not appear amateurish because he is immediately known as someone who has a high level of observation. His perseverance in processing data and his keenness in handling several cases make An Jun Ho's name more trusted by his superiors, enabling the special team D.P to complete tasks very quickly.

3. Full Torture Scene

It's no wonder this drama is intended for adult viewers, as it will feature many torture scenes to punish the captured soldiers. The torture scenes will be shown brutally, and if viewers can't handle such violence, it will affect their mentality. Therefore, it is highly not recommended for underage viewers to enjoy this Korean drama.

Although presented with torture scenes, the director also brings some exciting scenes to prevent viewers from getting bored and leaving before watching until the last episode. Indeed, those exciting scenes are found in the special team's way of tracking the whereabouts of military traitors in D.P. Interestingly, the tracking mission is packaged so beautifully that it will never be suspected by anyone.

4. Different Korean Drama with Military Theme

The first one is DESCENDANTS OF THE SUN which was booming in 2016, a comedy and romantic genre with 16 episodes. This drama stars handsome actors Song Joong Ki and Jin Goo, as well as beautiful actresses Song Hye Kyo and Kim Ji Won. DOTS tells the love story of a team captain and a professional doctor.

Next is CRASH LANDING ON YOU, released in late 2019, similar to DOTS which presents a love story of a military member. However, their love story is hindered by the two countries' hostility. The man, who is a military member in North Korea and upholds the dignity of his country, has to be involved in a romance with a wealthy woman from South Korea. This drama stars Hyun Bin and Son Ye Ri, as well as several other famous actors.

The last one is SEARCH, a Korean drama starring Krystal Jung about a mission to uncover a mysterious case that happened to her military team members. The drama aired in 2020 and brought together handsome and talented actors such as Jang Dong Yoon and Lee Hyun Woo. Unlike DOTS and CLOY, this drama will not present a love story, but will only focus on the mission of searching for the mysterious creature that has haunted the military forces.
