I always loved Jung Hae In, he's one of those that don't need to exert too much effort to show his emotions. You know he's happy even without him being giddy, or sad, without crying, mad without needing to shout or kick you. And this is what you get from him in DP.

As Joon Ho, his acting is contained but very emotional. Even without saying a word, you can feel that he's burning up inside. I guess his partner Corporal Ho Yul knows this. He knows how he feels, what he thinks and as quirky as he is, he has this caring aspect in him, that enabled Joon Ho to finally talk to his mom. This also showed in one of the episodes when Ho Yul let go of one the deserters to enable him to bring his grandma to a sanitarium, You will love Ho Yul character here.

The story is on point. Didn't hide or sugar coat what's happening inside. It all boils down to mental torture. What else could it be when you know it will only be 24 month inside? Physical torture? They can't do that 24/7, but it will eventually damage your mental health. When you're out there, alone, with no family to turn to, you will always find yourself thinking why is this happening. I also appreciate that they showed how the higher ups have turned a blind eye to these situations and would only think of what is beneficial to them. Bum Go, who is DP's immediate supervisor, seems to be also sucked by the system, but eventually stood up for his soldiers.

The series is only 6 episodes. I wanted more and see what happens to Joon Ho, but I know the series is not about him. It's about doing the mandatory military service and why you have deserters. And that what the series will give you.
