Jung Hae-in and Gu Kyo-hwan face a bigger battle in D.P. 2

by missvictrix

Netflix’s hit D.P. is back for Season 2, and so are our heroes Jung Hae-in (Connect) and Gu Kyo-hwan (Monstrous). Rough, poignant, and a bit of a gut-punch, the series saw a ton of success, and the second season will likely follow suit.

Continuing the story of our deserter pursuit unit, Ahn Jun-ho (Jung Hae-in) and Han Ho-yeol (Gu Kyo-hwan) are dispatched once again to deal with military runaways. The concept is simple enough, but as we know from the first season, it’s often brutality, suffering, and desperation that make soldiers desert in the first place. Bringing them back sounds easy, but proves difficult and full of many a moral dilemma.

The full trailer opens on a deceptively light tone with a buddy cop vibe running strong — but then, in the mother of all tonal shifts, we see the D.P.2 we were expecting.

The fisticuffs are replaced with a deeply troubled Jun-ho, a rogue military shooter, and a whole lot of political plays from the higher-ups in the army. It looks tense, and also showcases more of our characters — like the ever-sexy Sohn Seok-gu (Big Bet) (sorry, that just found its way in there).

We can also look forward to Kim Sung-kyun (Divorce Attorney Shin), Choi Hyun-wook (Weak Hero Class 1), Ji Jin-hee (The Road: The Tragedy of One), Kim Ji-hyun (Thirty Nine), Moon Sang-hoon (Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim 3), and more.

PD Han Joon-hee (D.P., Weak Hero Class 1) returns with original webtoon author Kim Bo-tong collaborating on the scripts. D.P. 2 drops on July 28 on Netflix.

I am so excited. The first season was truly excellent, so hoping no sophomore slump.

It looks like the second season is following the same balance between the funny and the heartbreaking scenes.

I hope Sohn Seok-Gu's character will show some growth after the first season. I have hopes he will form his own duo with Kim Sung-kyun.

I’m kinda conflicted on this. I want to watch the whole cast but the ending of S1 was so brutal..not sure if i want that again. But justice fighter sad eyes Hae In might be hard to resist.

I'm thinking hard about the verb I want to use for Season 1. "Unsettled" isn't quite strong enough. "Broke" is too strong. "Disturbed" might do, but it doesn't capture the fact that I binged the lot in a sitting because I Had. To. Know. Anyhoo, I think this means a) I will definitely be watching, but b) when I'm mentally prepared to face needing my mind to be bleached again at the end. This drama is unique...

The ending in S1 made a powerful political statement (which I think was brilliantly done). Having a S2 retroactively erases such a punch in the gut ending no? Regardless I’m definitely watching this for our two leads but I’m not sure it’ll be a masterpiece like S1
