Ask not what your country can do for you!
The main plot revolves around Ahn Joon Ho, a high school graduate who decided to join the military after being fired from a food delivery job. During his service, he discovered his talent while tracking down a deserter within a military department called D.P. with his sidekick, Han Ho Yul. It's similar to Sherlock-Watson stories in that each series features a new deserter to apprehend using detective skills. The difficulty level rises with each series, reaching a climax in the fifth and sixth episodes.
I enjoy character development as a delivery worker, a fresh-faced soldier, the recruitment process to the D.P. Department, finding a partner, and honing the skill to be a good yet the best hunting wolf.
As I live in Singapore, a republic that requires adult men to serve in the National Military Service, I found this story to be relatable. I did not serve in the military, but this culture is dear to my heart. You must understand how it feels to prepare yourself to give up two years of your youth for your country; it is an honorable but daunting responsibility to forego the opportunity to get a job, meet your girlfriend, or do anything else. It is both good and bad, but I hope the government will take full responsibility to ensure that bad incidents do not occur. Yes, we must recognize that it is impossible to control everything in order to achieve perfection, and that sh** happens in Singapore as well.
This series does an excellent job of elaborating on military service culture, particularly bullying culture, which is understandably a gray area in the military command system; it is yes sir culture. There are a thousand reasons to avoid military service, but imagine how desperate the situation is for the young man who did it regardless of the severe punishment he may face.
All of the main characters are fantastic, as are the actors who play them! I don't see any filler characters who are present but provide no support to the story. Jung Hae In is outstanding in this drama, and while I don't usually like his dramas, I decided to give it a shot because of its high rating. His performance as a nobody delivery part-timer to a private officer hero fits the character well.
Koo Kyo Hwan is a new face for me in my drama land universe, but I must commend him on his performance as a sidekick joker. Kim Sung Kyun and Son Seok Koo, who play supporting roles, add cohesive dynamics to the main duo.
