Gripping and intense

I finally found the time to watch the show, and wow. This was intense but so good! It's only six episodes, so it can be watched in one go, or at least very quickly, but the subject matter is heavy and it stays on your mind for a while. The acting performances were astounding, especially Koo Kyo Hwan and Jo Hyun Chul impressed me a LOT. This show shows how harsh and abusive the Korean military is (can be), how normalized bullying, harassment and physical/emotional abuse is, and how everyone takes advantage of their superiority in rank. Hierarchy always played a big part in why the system didn't get broken and the victims kept on suffering. The last 10 minutes really got to me... I was thinking "Either Seok Bong will get killed, or he will commit suicide", and the latter happened. Maybe shows like "The Glory" have already portrayed gruesome abuse and bullying cases that what was shown in "D.P." didn't shock me too much, but the scene when Seok Bong was surrounded by the SDT really made me shed some tears. Because in the end, the military will just bury his death and make him the problem and culprit to save face. Overall, the show is gripping and intense, but I really liked it. Buuut I will watch something lighthearted before starting season 2, but I am excited to see what challenged Jun Ho and Ho Yul will face together. I quite liked the trio of the two soldiers with Bum Goo, an unlikely group of guys.
