        "D.P Dog Day" is a military-themed webtoon that tells the story as a slice-of-life. The story is actually an autobiography of the author's time in the military.

        'D.P' stands for 'Deserter Pursuit,' which is a unit in the military that chases down soldiers who have gone AWOL or deserted from the military. The Netflix version of the webtoon is simply called "D.P."

        The story is supposed to voice the concerns of young people who are fed up with military practices. Their frustration is the cause for them to consider running away from their military service.

        Other actors who have been cast in the drama include Koo KyoHwan as Corporal Han HoYeol, Kim SungKyun as Sergeant Park BumGu, and Son SeokKoo as First Lieutenant Im JiSeop. U-KISS's Jun is also part of the supporting cast and plays the role of Jung HyunMin. The drama will be directed by Han JunHee.

        Corporal Han HoYeol

        Corporal Han HoYeol is the leader of the desertion arrest unit (the unit that arrests soldiers who have left their duty). He seems carefree but is an important mentor figure to Private Ahn JoonHo. He is ironically also hot-tempered.

         

        First Lieutenant Im JiSeop

        First Lieutenant Im JiSeop is one of the top of his class at the Korea Military Academy and the Commander of the Military Police. He does not approve of anything that goes against military protocol. He is very results-focused.
