Deserter Pursuit

This drama deals with very hard and sensitive topics that most people know but we tend to ignore. Raw emotions and feelings dealing with traumatic experiences caused by human nature ( although I should be saying men) . The story speaks about mandatory military enlistment for males in South Korea and how rotten those institutions and its hierarchical society is.

The struggle of those men trapped in a system that doesn't help them and silences them and the constant battle of some good individuals trying to fight against it.

The performances of the cast were outstanding and all the deep feelings and emotions were spectacularly portrayed.

I also enjoyed the fighting scenes with Jung Hae-in actually boxing.

The ending was surprisingly explosive I really hope there's a second season.

Absolutely worth the watch.

D. P. (2021) has a good start and a great ending. The story, actors, music, direction, you name it, everything was well put together.

Anyway, I don't know what else to say except to encourage you to watch this series. (*There are only six episodes.) It is worth your time. And whether or not there is a second season, this season already speaks volumes.

Wow! D. P. Is fast moving and gripping - I had to hold back from binge watching all six episodes in one sitting. So much sadness balanced by bits of light. Makes me pray that all militaries are working to end the hazing and cruelty that seem to abound when the wrong people are given power. Beautifully acted, don't miss it.

Must watch series from Netflix KOREA.

1. The problems are most definitely real and you will sympathize with every character.

2. I did not actually expect the series to be funny ....but it was.

3. The CHEMISTRY between the actors is everything.

Even the Cameos and the whole cast was excellent.

Especially the relationship between the two leads.

4. The storyline was unique but (seemed) very much true ,and even inspiring at a point.

5. You might even cry.

For everyone who wants to watch a slice of life, real, non-romantic, a binge watchable series this is IT.

This is a stunning example of how cinema or TV can be used to get people to be aware of and discuss something important.

I can only imagine what it must be like to live in a country with compulsory military service, but this show and all of the cast do an excellent job of humanising (as in tells a human story) the situations that must occur when service is only a choice if you are rich or connected enough to make use of the loopholes.

A must watch. But not an easy one.
