beautiful story, great acting

I have been wanting to watch this for a long time but put it off because I thought it would be too gritty and heartbreaking. It was gritty and heartbreaking, however there was enough light and happiness in the story to make me want to continue watching. I actually watched the whole show (season one and seasons two) in one sitting!!! I do not remember the last time I was so interested in a show. The story was something that needed to be told and was done so in a very poignant manner. I loved the two main characters (so much!!) honestly all of the actors were great. I sometimes avoid military dramas because they are just so depressing, but I didn't finish this show feeling depressed at all which was good. Usually shows similar to this are just revenge plots with predictable writing and predictable endings. With this show, I truly appreciated the lack of revenge-seeking and I also really enjoyed the (sort of) unpredictable nature of the story. I also loved the length and number of episodes in the season (6 50-minute long episodes; the standard hour-long 16 episode series are just SO LONG). It seemed like at the end of the 6th episode it was cut short, luckily there was a season two lol. With both combined, it feels like a full-length drama with enough detail and explanation

The Bad Parts:
I wish we learned more about the party guy that Jun Ho beat the shit out of in the beginning, it seemed like a sort of strange plot point with not enough explanation. I also felt like the ending was rushed and predictable.

Final thoughts:
I loved the acting and the bromance so much and this show is a fantastic way of getting a heavy story across without making the watchers literally miserable. I loved it so much and I have actually been thinking about this show after I finished it!!!! wow!!!
