The hottest thing this week is Netflix, a new drama starring Ding Haiyin.
After brushing six episodes in one breath, I had to sigh, too dare to shoot, and too good at shooting!
D.P: Deserter Pursuit Order
D.P., short for "Dester Pursuit," is the unit of the South Korean army dedicated to capturing deserters.
The show is based on a popular manga, and the author himself has worked in the D.P. department.
Therefore, the plot is not absurd, but very realistic.
The story unfolds from the perspective of a soldier who captures deserters, exposing the bullying of the South Korean army with a heavy-witted-heavy curve.
The theme is to the point, and the acting and production are superior, winning Douban 9.2 and IMDb 8.6 in one fell swoop.
While sweeping through various lists, it even attracted the attention of the South Korean Ministry of Defense.
At a regular news conference on the 6th, South Korean Defense Ministry Deputy Spokesman Moon Hong-sik said in response to a question about the D.P.: "The barracks environment is changing. ”
It is said that this drama dares to be filmed because
The director can use a nail to make people feel amazing.
Ding Haiyin played by the male protagonist An Junhao, born at the bottom of the social ladder, did not go to college, witnessed his mother being abused by the family but could not change, as a courier also had to be pit by customers and bosses.
After his military service, he was also at the bottom of the barracks—a second-class soldier who was bullied by veterans.
Recruits have to stand in a specific position even when they are trained - because there is a nail in the wall, if they are not careful, the recruit will break his head and bleed, but he dares not speak out.
And this kind of insult and abuse is common in the camp.
Veterans, on a whim, will punish the recruits to take a horse and spit on them.
If you don't like to sleep alone and snore, put a gas mask on him and don't let him sleep.
Because of this, some people can't stand it and become deserters.
By chance, Ahn Joon-ho was sent to the D.P Deserter Pursuit Group.
An Joon-ho's first partner, Park Seung-woo, the son of the district commissioner.
Capturing deserters is a good thing for many people, because they can use this to leave the barracks temporarily.
The son of the district chief took the opportunity to enjoy himself, drinking and singing, and complaining.
A drunken Ahn Joon-ho met a passerby who asked him to borrow a lighter.
Unexpectedly, this passerby was the deserter they were going to hunt.
Just when the D.P group was drinking and singing and playing games,
The deserter, disillusioned, used the lighter given to him by An Joon-ho to burn charcoal in the motel to commit suicide.
He died of bullying in the barracks; he also died of D.P.'s dereliction of duty.
He has since become Ahn Joon-ho's nightmare.
And that's not all.
In the process of pursuit, the audience found
What deserters want to desperately escape is not hard training, but endless bullying.
Some people choose to end their lives after escaping from the army, while others choose to resist revenge in an attempt to change the status quo...
However, a young life disappeared, and the second generation of officials only felt unlucky.
The source of bullying in the barracks is actually class oppression.
Veterans who are threatening to be blessed are close to retiring from the army, and they have lost their qualifications for bullying.
Dad is going to step down, and the second generation of officials will also suffer.
What is even more ironic is that the victim can also become the perpetrator in seconds.
One second they are still suffering from painful bullying, and the next second they can be cruel and violent, and their scalps are numb.
And this kind of harshness also comes from the truth.
Why is the plot set in 2014? Because that year, the South Korean army abused soldiers and caused casualties to peak.
Ding Haiyin said in an interview:
The play is not easy, and the more frustrated it is, the easier it is to fall into suffocation, heaviness and emptiness. D.P. is set in 2014, when there were many unfortunate events and accidents in the military.
The suicide of the "man with flowers" in the first episode alludes to the "death of Yin Yibing" that shocked all of South Korea.
After the 20-year-old Yin (first class soldier) enlisted in the army, he was collectively bullied by the veterans.
Verbal abuse, beatings, no sleep, learning to crawl and swallow pus and phlegm, applying hot oil to the genitals and massaging...
And the reason why he was bullied was only because of his slow answer and sad face.
In the end, Yin Yibing was beaten to urinate incontinence and fainted.
South Korea's Ministry of National Defense has been taking a negative attitude towards the incident until 4 months after the incident.
In "D.P.", the scene of An Junhao being bullied by the veteran is almost the same as that reported by Yin Yibing in some of the abuse situations.
As a result, this drama has also made many viewers, especially Korean men who have served in the military, feel empathy.
Actor Song Jiang immediately finished "D.P".
One of our Korean friends who studied in China will be doing military service in October, and I read it for the first time.
Ding Haiyin gradually became popular after completing his military service.
He took on N good dramas along the way.
Many people's impressions of him come from the little milk dog in "The Pretty Sister Who Often Invites to Dinner" and the gentle pharmacist in "Spring Night".
In particular, the younger brother in the sister who invited the rice sister was red enough to catch up with the level of the professor at that time.
But Ding Haiyin said that after the broadcast of "D.P Desertion Order", he had never received so many congratulatory messages from his predecessors and acquaintances, especially from many seniors and friends in the army.
I think the popularity of D.P. comes from the power of this story.
The military is like a microcosm of society, and even though it's uncomfortable to think that facing the truth, I think it's the power of the story.
And to say it will shoot, that's true.
In fact, Ding Haiyin is more like a clue character in "D.P.".
Each episode has a protagonist in each episode, and the "Junhaolie" squad composed of Ding Hae-in and Han Haolie, played by Gu Jiaohuan, strung together the whole story in the process of hunting down deserters.
The first episode was heavy, but the director didn't let the audience suppress it for long.
In the second episode, the "Junhaolie" squad began the road to light comedy hunting.
But just when you thought that Joon-ho could live a good life and everything would be fine, the director gave you a blow to the head.
The previous paving is all grass snake gray lines, forming a closed loop at the final climax.
"I haven't even changed the kettle, how can it change?"
And the whole drama BGM with feeling, tight rhythm, full acting school.
"D.P" director Han Junxi said that from the beginning of casting, he thought of Ding Haiyin.
Through his previous work, Actor Ding Haiyin showed the tenacity of the character of Ahn Joon-ho in the original work, and the elusive feeling of youth and old age, which is the role I wanted to create as the overall theme.
And Xiao Ding did show deep internal skills.
It is also the topic of military bullying, in fact, he has starred in "Witty Prison Life" before.
However, Lieutenant Liu in "Witty Prison" actually did not suffer bullying himself, but was tragically framed after seeing the righteous and courageous. Therefore, although There is also injustice and anger in Lieutenant Liu's body, he has always maintained self-sustaining and translucent that has received a good education.
And An Junhao in "D.P", grassroots, bottom, the initial feeling is decadence, mourning.
This lighting a cigarette and wearing a hat is a bit of Liu Yaren's smell in "Burning".
An Junhao is a quiet but rich character, in order to highlight the charm of the eyes, Ding Haiyin also specially lost weight, so that the facial contour line is more distinct.
Now, do you still think that Xiao Ding will only play handsome?
Say that you are already writing the second season, Xiao Ding, rush!
