MILITARY PROSECUTOR DOBERMAN's ratings have been relatively strong and consistent, owing to how quickly each episode delivers justice and how entertaining its fight scenes can be. Every two episodes depict a military issue based on the reality of military conscription: stories of rich kids avoiding the draught, upper-level officials using private soldiers as slaves, and using military influence and power for personal estate and gain. While some cases' resolutions are borderline fantastical and unbelievable, it's still satisfying to see powerful villains fall in a court of law.
Although the plot can become complicated on many fronts, with some resolutions more unbelievable than others, this show boasts a talented cast and gives equal importance to every character. Ahn Bo-Hyun has entered his true leading man era with this show, fully flexing his action-star background for the fight scenes he has to perform every other episode. Jo Bo-ah is also an excellent fighter, and the two have slow-burn chemistry that will keep everyone guessing until the very end.
In addition to these strong main characters, the show has a fantastic antagonist in the form of the soft-spoken General Noh Hwa-young, who manages to scare everyone. She is not only physically strong but also ruthless and cunning. It was an excellent portrayal! Furthermore, keep an eye out for the soldiers' incredible performances, particularly rookie soldier Noh Tae-Nam, played by Kim Woo-Suk, the general's traumatized son.
In a nutshell, MILITARY PROSECUTOR DOBERMAN is a densely packed tour of the military's worst abuses disguised as a revenge action drama. The show may appear predictable at first, but the journey is full of surprises that will force you to reconsider your feelings about certain characters and situations. So, give it a watch!
