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!

Like Deluxe Taxi driver and Devil Judge, Military Prosecutor Doberman sets out to right Society's wrongs by Dobee's peculiar approach to Justice. I liked the twists at the beginning, with the female factor, better-wrought than many token actresses. You've gotta feel it just a bit for Doberman's rich victims, though it's a fair bet that many super-rich S. Koreans climbed the greasy ladder - right? After episode 3 & still interested. Just one martial arts criticism - in real life both men and women are put into different weight divisions to stop the inevitable slaughter of 120 Kg. Taekwondo heavyweight tearing a 60Kg-er limb from limb. Yes, I know it's Charlie Chan tribute stuff, but just a little more realism please.

Are you looking for a Korean drama with no romance and two military prosecutors fighting in court for justice? Well, you are in luck because the chemistry between Ah Bo Hyun and Jo Bo Ah was excellent. This drama never got boring, and the twists will keep you on edge. The OST is so good, too, as the music helps tell the plot flawlessly. You need to watch this!!

Another great show from s/k shame we in uk seem to care more about reality tv these days-no decnt drama-were luck if we get 1hr awk but s/k continues to put rest to shame.

When this drama was airing I was never interested coz no one was talking about it but when I was just "giving it a try" from the first scene I got invested and I have to say I really like this one for sure.

This series has its strengths and its weaknesses. Its biggest strength is its two leading actors, both of whom are more than up to the task of powering the action and giving us characters to root for.

They are aided by a complex plot with many twists and turns and some well-realised action.

On the downside, the focus on delivering entertainment too often eclipses any attempt at depicting reality, which somewhat punctures the excitement that might have been. Also, many of the characters are rather one dimensional. Goodies and baddies are painted in bold strokes with no room for rounded characters, except the one or two who change their spots as the plot develops.

But still, it's an entertaining watch with two likeable stars, and I was happy to enjoy it for what it is.

First of all, each episode was like a separate movie, kept my interest for all 16 episodes which rarely happens! Even though there was some violence etc, there was always some comedic relief by some of the side characters. All actors were great, but especially Ahn Bo-hyun was perfect for this part!!

I hadn't seen Kim Woo-seok before but he was great in portraying the process of his character change and all the emotions it involved.

Korean Ensemble shows like this one are great when they're good. Even though the theme is different, it reminded me of other successful ensemble series like Diary Of A Prosecutor, Hyena, Good Manager, and many more I won't list right now, which are classics and all time favorites. And I'm glad I decided to give this one a try!

Just a note, even though I loved it I watched it at 1.25 speed, but I do that with most dramas. So if you find it a bit slow that's no reason to give up on it, just speed it up a bit!

Korean Drama " Military Prosecutor Doberman " is a law thriller taking place in the military.

The drama follows two main characters, complitelly different from each other; one seeking money and success, the other revenge and justice. And yet, when they team up they make a deliciously enjoyable duo, with their dynamics and chemistry hiting the highest notes. Hence, their interactions were entertaining and their action scenes well performed. However, the romance should have been held out of the equation.

Also, the villain of the drama had a nice arc, with his character going from being utterly dispicable, to finding his inner peace and realizing that his actions were hurting others. Probably watching his character development was the highlight of the drama.

On the other hand, the criminal cases were boring and predictable, though some of them were quite emotional. But those about the power struggle in the military were classic tropes that were handled badly.

Finally, the performances were enjoyable by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, four out of ten.

Once again, Another Studio Dragon Production, Perfect, in everyway.

And 16 hours later, you will say, Can I get a little more.

The Quality is amazing (of Studio Dragon), Reminds me New Line Cinema of the 80's.

Korean drama 'Military Prosecutor Doberman' delivers on entertainment, but falls short on character development.

The villains are disappointingly one-dimensional, lacking the cleverness to make them truly formidable foes. Despite protagonists supposedly preparing for vengeance, the plot often sees them trailing behind, making it less engaging.

The last-minute success in the final trial feels too easy and predictable, lacking the depth needed for a satisfying resolution.

The romance is sudden and brief, lacking the chemistry that could have added emotional depth. While it serves well for action and a Friday night watch, the overall lack of rewatch value leaves it with a mixed review.

Korean dramas are being liked in Pakistan. He'll kind, crash landing , the ghost doctor and prosecutor Doberman.

This one's a great drama. The actors acted so well. Corruption in top levels highlighted so beautifully.

The prosecutors acting was great however the military people roles a bit weak except the women generals acting which was good.

The plot could have been more good had the other generals been shown a bit more and with their roles developed a bit more The chemistry between the two prosecutors in fact the three prosecutors was great and lady general's son won the heart as well I wish to see them some day in Karachi Pakistan.

Finally !! A k-drama that has a female corrupt villain. Not only is the female antagonist good as a villain but she even does her own dirty work. This series focuses on the two female leads the villain and the hero. A military 2 star general that has her hands into corruption outside the military. The fight scenes are okay but a little too exaggerated. The story goes on to show you what the female general is willing to do to get to the top. As for the male characters she has this thing with them and is looking to take them down as well to ascend to the top. In the end as with all k-dramas the hero prevails. What would have made this better is if both female leads would have battled it out in a fight to the death scene at the end . You have to commend the makeup artist as they were able to make the general look older and more ordinary than what she looks like. All of the other characters played their roles as well. What I don't understand is the review by Bibliography stating that it was stereotyping black people who rob and listened to rap music. Either he was watching something else and mistook this for another title or there is another version of this drama elsewhere?

I don't know this seems to be going in to many directions two episodes in and already ff a lot which is a bad sign. Both mains are good but the girl is slightly better a selling her character, the supporting cast is pretty lame as for the plot it has potential but not confident the writers can expose the potential. This is on the back burner for when i get in a binge slump.

Surprisingly, the main characters in this series didnt catch my attention, instead i am drawn to the supporting characters, they have more strong presence in the story, and the actors are better than the two leads.

The two main characters' are boring, kind of dumb and repetitive of so much korean drama. The storyline has a lot of inconsistencies and holes.

The woman lead (Jo Bo-Ah) is a total disappointment, the only facial expression she can have is to open her already big eyes into bigger eyes, showing a lot of whites which is kind of scary, . She NEEDS to polish her acting. The male leads if average, nothing spectacular, so average.

However, the supporting characters, Noh Hwa-Young, Noh Tae-Nam and Pyun Sang-Ho, these are brilliant characters that gave the story a strong background. Imagine without them, this series will be so boring.

The transition of Noh Tae-nam is heartwarming and inspirational, a child who didnt have the love of his mother and became a bully, is lonely and have only his dog as his family. His transition from being a weak, angry bully to realizing his wrongdoings, to finding his inner peace and eventually, forgive the mother who brings so much pain in his life is inspirational.

The actors who played the three characters are good, since their characters have more dimension, they must have the acting skills to portray different emotion and feelings at different stage/scene, yet they delivered. I would love to see more of Kim Woo-Seok and Kim Yo-Han.

Overall, it is not a bad show, thanks to the supporting cast.

Ahn Bo-hyun plays Captain Do Bae-min a Military prosecutor with dubious methods who has ambitions to leave the military and work in a large law firm. A new prosecutor arrives Captain Cha Woo-in (Jo Bo-ah) who has no respect for the military and has an ulterior motive for joining the unit. Because of their pasts they are drawn together to fight injustices which happened to their parents and fight a sinister organisation within the army. It is an interesting plot and all the actors do a sterling job but I do think it falls short in the script. Their is a little too much repetition of the story, the use of showing later events at the beginning of episodes and then spending the episode showing what leads up to it is used too often and also too many ridiculous fight scenes where nobody actually seems to get hurt. So overall an ok watch which could have been much better with a linear script and less faux fighting.

Military Prosecutor Doberman is yet another Korean Drama made in the year of our Lord 2022 that continues to perpetuate the racist stereotype that Black men are thugs who listen to rap music and rob people. It is insulting, dangerous, and disgusting. As another reviewer mentioned, South Korea is a homogeneous society that only sees Black people through the lens of the US media whereas BP in Africa and parts of the Middle East have cultures and communities that are completely different from the US. It is damaging and I urge K and C drama producers and writers to stop using these racist stereotypes. Do Asians like it when they're portrayed as drycleaners and beauty massage therapists in American movies?

I stopped watching and will ensure I skip other dramas by the studio and writers who created this series.

We've had plenty of prosecutor shows, but now it's set in a military setting-what a revolutionary twist! The drama was alright and had an interesting introduction, but the overarching story was delayed too often, and interest began to plummet. It would have fared better if the side cases weren't so bland and were better interconnected. Even though there were moments of tension and drama but there was something missing that prevented it from being impactful. The characters were a mixed bag, some of them were great while the rest were too annoying to tolerate. While the ending was fine but I wish there was more to it.

Well, to be invested in a show, you need to be able to relate to the characters, the story, or the situations. And think, "boy, that would suck if it happened to me".

But in Doberman's case, the situations that play out, the escapes, the reveals, the motivations, the twists, the double-crosses, all of it, are SO far-fetched, farcical, and totally implausible that you have ZERO interest in trying to figure out what direction the story is going in. Because you know some absolutely, positively, RIDICULOUS plot twist or situation will occur that throws out all the plot development that happened up to that point. It is like they keep hitting reset with these ludicrous situations, making the viewer feel dumb. When in fact it is the total implausible story and set-up that is dumb. This isn't good writing. This is lazy, we think we're cool, writing.

If it wasn't for the underlying and pervasive overtones of sexual violence, I would say this show is best viewed as a satirical comedy rather than an "engaging suspenseful drama" as Netflix calls it.
