NETFLIX

In a captivating exploration of the secretive realm of Korea's Army, Netflix's military series "D.P." has captivated audiences and sparked meaningful conversations about the realities of military service. Lead actor Jung Hae-in, who portrays Jun-ho in the series, believes that "D.P." offers a unique perspective on the lives of deserters and sheds light on the injustices and bullying that can occur within the military system.

Released on June 28, the second season of "D.P." follows the arresting team's relentless pursuit of deserters, with Jun-ho played by Jung Hae-in and Ho-yul portrayed by Koo Kyo-hwan. The show's first season culminated in a shocking event that left viewers reeling, and Season 2 delves into the aftermath of these events.

Praised for its realistic portrayal of the Korean Army, "D.P." has sparked national discourse and even caught the attention of politicians, leading to discussions on the flaws within the military system. Empathizing with the story's themes, Jung Hae-in stated that most Korean men who have served their mandatory military service can relate to the injustices depicted in the series.

As "D.P." embarks on its second season, some critics have noted a departure from the show's signature realism, pointing to an increased focus on dramatic plotlines and fight scenes. However, Jung Hae-in dismissed these comments, emphasizing that the show's exploration of the little-known concept of a "deserter pursuit" unit within the military might make it less relatable for some viewers.

The allure of "D.P." lies in its exploration of the enigmatic world of the military, which remains largely inaccessible to the public. Jung Hae-in speculated that this secrecy contributes to the show's appeal, providing a rare glimpse into a closed-off environment.

While Season 3 of "D.P." has not yet been confirmed, Jung Hae-in expressed his commitment to the character of Jun-ho, stating he would gladly return if the opportunity arises. Despite the departure of Ho-yul's character in Season 2, Jung expressed optimism in the potential for a new storyline and the chance to further explore Jun-ho's journey.

As "D.P." continues to captivate audiences with its poignant portrayal of military life, Jung Hae-in's compelling performance and dedication to his role ensure that the show leaves a lasting impact on viewers.
