Military-drama D.P. (Deserter Pursuit) confirmed the premiere date on August 27 and released bombarding stills featuring its lead hero.
Directed by Han Jun Hee and written by Kim Ho Yeol, D.P unveiled three poster photos that catch the audience’s attention.
D.P. is a Netflix original series that follows the story of army private Joon-ho, one of many soldiers serving in the Korean military, who suddenly ends up becoming a member of the “Deserter Pursuit” unit that tracks down military deserters and encounters the realities of confused young soldiers.
Based on a webtoon by Kim Bo-tong, it garnered over 10 million views for its realistic portrayal of the brutal violence and human rights violations committed in the military with the refreshing theme of Deserter Pursuit (D.P.), a military police unit in charge of arresting soldiers who deserted their posts.
The series is expected to balance the tension and thrill of chasing down deserters from the perspective of “soldiers catching soldiers” with shedding light on the mental torment and growth of young people. Actors Jung Hae In, Koo Kyo Hwan, and Kim Sung Kyun play members of D.P., while Son Seok Koo plays a military official that disapproves of them to represent the trouble-ridden daily life in the deserter arrest unit.
Jung Hae In Transforms Into a Soldier
In the first photo teaser, we can see Jung Hae In donning a dauntless and cryptic look. Moreover, there are also military tags that cover the other side of his face.
Meanwhile, in the second photo, Jung looks back with military soldiers as his backdrop. The image happened at his enlistment ceremony where his comrades are saluting forward. His character belongs to the private second class.
Even though he is just starting to adjust in his military life, he’s suddenly transferred to catch deserters.
That’s why in the third photo, his character Joon-Ho and Ho-Yeol is running and seems that they are under operation wearing only plain clothes.
While on the teaser video, we can see Joon-Ho and Ho-Yeol doing their mission together. It seems that the series would also serve comedic scenes that happened during their duty.
Their synergy is anticipated along with their teamwork and adventures as soldiers. It would also unveil the struggles of being soldiers whose life is always at stake.
D.P: Deserter Pursuit would release its’ first episode on August 27 through Netflix.
