Powerful Drama
Before I turn to this series it feels right to acknowledge that Britain's military has been subject to bullying accusations over the years.
Judging by this series Korea has the same problem in spades. Watching as many k dramas as I do, I have the impression of a highly stratified society in which those with power are prone to bullying those beneath them. If that is true, then the military is likely to prompt an exaggeration of these behaviours.
I did a little research on line and found a host of Korean military bullying scandals and stories, plus some efforts to improve things.
Top marks to the makers of this series for addressing this problem head on with such a powerful drama. One can only hope that this sort of dramatic focus will yield further attempts to deal with the problem.
