I don't know if the purpose of this drama was to put the light on the bullying and corruption in korean army, but it's what I saw in this.

Through the eyes of Junho, we learn how this army thing is working, and the dynamics there are. One thing prevail every other. You must respect your seniors. And there is a harsh bullying on the juniors.

It starts somehow slowly, with "just" humiliations and physical punishment, but the way it ends... There are no words to describe it.

I liked how pretty much each episode was focused on a different deserter, with each a different story. It shows not only the ones that couldn't stand the bullying, but also the ones that were on the other side.

The story itself was breathtaking, and the script was really well written.


Now, for the characters, I really liked Junho. Yeah, he was somehow emotionless, and impassive, but gosh his eyes were talking for him. Jung Haein did a freaking great job, and that's one thing I really like with his acting. His eyes, and the emotions we can see in him.

Hoyul was somehow showed as the funny, quirky guy, but I think there is more to his character, and I can't wait to see more of him. It was my first time seeing Koo Kyohwan act, and I really loved him.

Im Jisup and Park Bumgoo were, for me, somehow equivalents characters. Both ranked, both seeking for a promotion, but both with a moral and a duty sense. They really brought something to the story.

The supporting cast really did great. But one actor got my eyes more than the others. Lee Junyoung, as Jung Hyunmin, showed a great character, some great skills, and a freaking great acting. I'd love to see him in more roles like this.


The musics were insane too, the sceneries and camera work were amazing.

For me this was a huge hit. At first I regretted that it wasn't longer but it would've been repetitive through more episodes. I just wait for the second season now.

A must watch, but not if you want a light watch. Heavy emotions incoming.
