D.P. is surprisingly great. Although the trailer had hinted at it, I did not expect it to get as dark and upsetting as it did. It’s no flawless masterpiece, but the subject matter is difficult and controversial at best, and the show treated it with the nuance it deserved – at least in my opinion; I am no expert on military desertion. The heaviness of the issues still doesn’t take away from the overall watchability of the drama.
Jung Hae-in is such a versatile actor. It’s sometimes easy to forget because he’s so typecast in melodramas, but he’s perfect in these more tough, angsty roles as well. Koo Kyo-hwan was delightful to watch as well. These two really were the perfect duo. Really, the whole show was perfectly cast, from the mains to the supporting cast. I had pretty high expectations going in – and came out quite satisfied with the end-product. Here’s to hoping the upcoming crop of dramas keep up the good work.
I was expecting it to go dark. Coz, the director is also the director of Midnight Runners. That turned dark as well midway thru, without me knowing beforehand.
This is a good one, in terms of story and production. A tough issue to deal with, but need to be told.
EP 1 did well to hook me in. Ep 2 and 3 were not bad. But ep4 thru 6 were amazingly done. Jung Hae-in did well. Happy for him to get a project that stayed from his normal dramas.
