D.P. tells the story of a soldier who has been conscripted into a special squad sent out to chase down deserters from the military. Based on the webtoon ŌĆ£D.P Dog Day,ŌĆØ written and drawn by Kim Bo Tong, it will realistically depict abuse and human rights issues in the military. Jung Hae In plays Ahn Jun Ho, a quiet and calm private who is not good at adapting to new situations. He joins the D.P. squad when his keen observation and patience catch the eye of the officer in charge. He will slowly change after facing various stories of the deserters. Koo Kyo Hwan, who recently became a hot topic with his performance in Peninsula, takes on the role of corporal Han Ho Yeol, the team leader of the D.P. squad.

Son Seok Koo will play the role of Lieutenant Lim Ji Seop, an executive in the military police who graduated from the Korea Military Academy. He only cares about his performance and considers the D.P. squad as a nuisance. He will bring about the tension in the drama. D.P. will be directed by director Han Joon Hee, know for Coin Locker Girl, screened in the International CriticsŌĆÖ Week section of the 68th Cannes Film Festival. It will be written by Han Joon Hee and the original webtoon writer, Kim Bo Tong. Source (1)
