D.P Dog Day

D. P. (2021) has a good start and a great ending. The story, actors, music, direction, you name it, everything was well put together.

Anyway, I don't know what else to say except to encourage you to watch this series. (*There are only six episodes.) It is worth your time. And whether or not there is a second season, this season already speaks volumes.

This drama deals with very hard and sensitive topics that most people know but we tend to ignore. Raw emotions and feelings dealing with traumatic experiences caused by human nature ( although I should be saying men) . The story speaks about mandatory military enlistment for males in South Korea and how rotten those institutions and its hierarchical society is.

The struggle of those men trapped in a system that doesn't help them and silences them and the constant battle of some good individuals trying to fight against it.

The performances of the cast were outstanding and all the deep feelings and emotions were spectacularly portrayed.

I also enjoyed the fighting scenes with Jung Hae-in actually boxing.

The ending was surprisingly explosive I really hope there's a second season.

Absolutely worth the watch.

D. P. is a very realistic and dark series with excellent cinematography and acting. The way it tackles the sensitive issue in south korean military is mind-blowing and makes me think and reflect alot since such kind of issues are everywhere in our society in either direct or indirect way and the fact that if you want to make something change, you must at least do something calls out the people who normalize bullying and do nothing but ignore even if such happens in front of their eyes. The plot itself is interesting but the realistic acting skills of Jung Hae In make it shine more plus all the casts in the series did their great job. For me, it's the best series of 2021 so far.

Must watch series from Netflix KOREA.

1. The problems are most definitely real and you will sympathize with every character.

2. I did not actually expect the series to be funny ....but it was.

3. The CHEMISTRY between the actors is everything.

Even the Cameos and the whole cast was excellent.

Especially the relationship between the two leads.

4. The storyline was unique but (seemed) very much true ,and even inspiring at a point.

5. You might even cry.

For everyone who wants to watch a slice of life, real, non-romantic, a binge watchable series this is IT.

A new recruit is assigned to the DP who are responsible for bringing back soldiers who have gone AWOL. A well acted drama which looks at the the unfair treatment of soldiers of all ranks and how bullying can become systematic. Each episode deals with the causes of why the soldier deserted and the efforts to return him. In a country where conscription is compulsory it will hopefully make the people look at the vicious cycle of bullying from all ranks against ordinary people carrying out service.
