JAKARTA - The latest Korean drama entitled DP will air on Netflix next year. This drama starring well-known actors. Anyone?

This Netflix Original Korean series tells the story of a soldier who is suddenly assigned to capture military deserters, and is caught in a very complicated situation.

DP stands for 'Deserter Pursuit' or a unit in the Army that tracks soldiers who are absent from their duties. Showcasing various issues in military life in depth, this series is the adaptation of a webtoon comic by Kim Bo Tong which has won ten million readers in Korea.

Here we describe the main cast of DP according to the official Netflix statement which was launched from Antara, Thursday, September 3.

First, Jung Hae In who plays the character An Jun Ho, a soldier assigned to the DP unit because of his foresight and persistence. He is a young man who is quiet and does not easily get emotional, and obeys the rules.

After facing various cases of military deserters, Jun Ho has to face an inner conflict within himself.

Then there is Koo Kyo Hwan who plays the character Han Ho Yeol, a corporal who leads a desertion detention unit. Even though he appears free-spirited and has no ambition, sometimes Ho Yeol can give Jun Ho useful investigative knowledge.

Next, Kim Sung Kyun plays Park Beom Gu, the head of a DP unit named Park Beom Gu who keeps reprimanding Jun Ho and Ho Yeol, which puts the two of them even more under pressure.

Beom Gu is an experienced leader who keeps an eye on his team.

Finally, there is Son Suk Ku, Lieutenant Im Ji Seop, a graduate of the elite Korean Military Academy who is also a Military Police Commander. His presence brought tension to the series as he only cared about the results of the work and did not approve of the DP unit

DP was directed by Han Jun Hee who was previously successful with his feature-length film debut, Coin Locker Girl. Jun Hee also wrote the script for DP with the original webtoon writer Kim Bo-tong.
