This K-Drama May Be the Best War Show to Watch on Netflix Right Now
It was also named one of the best K-dramas of 2022, so it definitely deserves a chance.
It's safe to say that Netflix is one of the most powerful streaming platforms today, with an extremely large library of shows and movies to suit every taste. However, there are certain genres that end up being fan favorites, and war drama is one of them.
There’s a lot to offer in the war genre, but sometimes, a not-so-obvious choice can be the best one. For example, we are sure that if you decide to watch this 2022 K-drama, you wont end up disappointed.
Military Prosecutor Doberman is a standout K-drama that offers a fresh take on the war and military genre. The show blends it all together: military action, legal drama, and has a perfect character-driven story at its core.
Directed by Lee Seung-hoon, the series revolves around Do Bae-man, played by Ahn Bo-hyun, a former soldier with a dark past who becomes a military prosecutor.
At first he seems to be cold-hearted, but we soon realize that it's just a mask he's wearing, while he has a deep-seated desire for revenge against those who wronged him during his time in the military. And the actor delivers an amazing portrayal of the conflicted character, torn between his sense of duty and his personal vendetta.
Besides our main hero, the series also stars Jo Bo-ah as Cha Woo-in, a determined and idealistic military prosecutor. Unlike Bae-man, Cha Woo-in is driven by a strong moral compass and a genuine desire to bring justice to the military.
For many fans, this character is a staple of a female badass protagonist who is more than just a sidekick to Bae-man. And even though the story doesn't focus on romance, the chemistry between the two is still something that adds deeper meaning to the series.
“Everything was great, badass male and female leads, pure evil antagonists, cool BGMs, side characters, pacing of the story and 'BOLT'. Lots to say but will mention only one word 'Micro expressions'. The male and female leads' micro expressions were totally on point and perfect,” Redditor LW_7788 said.
Military Prosecutor Doberman is definitely a gem of the war drama genre, as it shifts the focus from traditional combat to the emotional and ethical aspects of the military, which are less explored.
The K-drama is available to stream on Netflix.
