Utilized everything they had with a great execution

Take this as an example of why shouldn't every k-drama end up in 16 episodes nor even extended to 20 episodes.

The plot is focusing on the main idea of the military life and I think it was consistent to carried it out in the whole 6 episodes. No pleasantries and pleonastic. Not revealing too many things and left some of the ideas and sentiments to the spectators. And as if you were drawn to adapt to be a part of them. It feels like we can see, hear, and feel the story as if those were ours to begin with. It felt so raw and violent but you can't stop watching because you want to know what would be next to happen. The misery and agony and also the irony of the military life is well conveyed and I think it has some connection in some way with some cases that truly happened in South Korea that changed the way it runs today. Though it may be a common secret that seniority is still prominent and conspicuous in that scope, D.P. succeeding in animadvert severely on the system and let it be known what is wrong with a scant of satire and insinuation. And evidently it works so well. It still felt so realistic without exaggerating some aspects of human daily life that might distorted the whole theme of military., like romance or unnecessary laughable moments.

And, I really like how it took such an ending. Blatant mockery by the media and the military to close the case in that way and also the surprising act of camaraderie. A great cinematography and acting also play their roles well that it almost taste so immaculate to the point I'm being hesitant on my own review if I might be so biased, but undoubtedly it really deserves all the praise.
