Deserter Pursuit

A new recruit is assigned to the DP who are responsible for bringing back soldiers who have gone AWOL. A well acted drama which looks at the the unfair treatment of soldiers of all ranks and how bullying can become systematic. Each episode deals with the causes of why the soldier deserted and the efforts to return him. In a country where conscription is compulsory it will hopefully make the people look at the vicious cycle of bullying from all ranks against ordinary people carrying out service.

This film informs viewers of the reality of the Korean conscription army, 100% without any manipulation or beautification. I joined the Korean military in 2012 and was discharged in 2014. I guarantee that there is no malicious description of the Korean military in this film. This is 100% real, but there are more terrible things in reality. Even though Korea is a free democratic country, it is dragging young men and treating like slaves. And without paying fair treatment, he put it in a beast cage like that drama and forced everything. Despite living in such an environment, Korea does not pay any respect or compensation for the soldier. KPOP, K DRAMA, and so on are all false. This is the reality of Korea. I hope you guys don't admire this beastly country. And i hope you guys respect all soldier in this world.

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.

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.
