They make an offer you can't refuse

I haven't seen a disappointing series involving Bo Ah yet, and this one is no exception ... I couldn't believe how intensely great this drama turned out to be from the very first episode. Shocks and surprises were intertwined from beginning to end. There were so many layers of this story, it made for such good entertainment, watching each piece of the puzzle revealed, making a much clearer picture of how the past was effecting the present day for all the protagonists.
Bo Ah & Bo Hyun were the perfect professional team going up against all the evil subplots in the story. Great chemistry between the two of them.
I think what made this great, was the changing personalities of the many characters, whether a main or supporting role. Don't be fooled by who you think is good and who you think is bad, because my perception of several characters changed in the opposite direction by the end of the series. Such fantastic antagonists on screen, without a doubt one of the most evil characters you will ever see, General Hwa Young, played brilliantly by Yeon Soo. Oh wow, you could feel the coldness coming through your television when she was on screen. Her, teamed with Moon Goo was evil on top of evil.
Early on I would have included Tae Nam on that same list, but that character, which was performed fantastically by Woo Seok, fell into the category of going from bad to good. I couldn't believe I was on his side by episode 16, because early on, what a horrible person he was.
Several big episode were the backbone of this drama, especially episode 9, which seemed to be the pinnacle episode of them all. That's were pretty much everything is revealed to us, telling us exactly who everyone truly was. After that, episode 15 was the "big one". It made everything worth waiting for ... retribution for all. There were scenes I needed to watch twice, because it was just so damn good to see it play out.
In the end, everything was kind of like you wished for, although I did think the final episode may have been rushed a bit toward the end, but overall an excellent satisfying ending for a truly great series!!!

Great FL, Useless ML — The Fatal Flaw of Doberman”

The best thing I can say about Military Prosecutor Doberman is that it wasn’t unwatchable — but that’s about where the positives end. The story had some potential, especially with the female lead’s backstory and her strong acting skills, but unfortunately, the show wasted it by putting far too much focus on the male lead.

The FL was compelling, layered, and honestly the only reason I kept watching. Her motivations were clear, her pain was understandable, and her strength shone through. She could have easily carried the revenge plot on her own. Instead, the writers saddled her with the ML — a selfish, corrupt, and frankly pathetic character whose “redemption” arc was unconvincing at best. The actor’s performance didn’t help; he came across as smug rather than conflicted, and I couldn’t see any reason why the FL would ever need him, let alone fall for him. She was capable, resourceful, and driven. He was… there.

The romance was another disaster. Why on earth would a woman fighting against the corrupt system that killed her father fall for a man who gleefully participated in that exact corruption? He was comfortable being evil until it no longer suited him, and the drama never held him accountable for his crimes. Victim-blaming, protecting criminals, taking bribes — all swept under the rug with no real consequences. Yet somehow, we’re supposed to accept him as a hero and romantic partner? No, thank you.

Even the supposed justice of the ending fell flat. The main villain got punished, sure, but her son — who was complicit in horrific crimes — walked away without facing any real consequences. Just like with the ML, the writers seemed to think one or two “good” actions erased everything. It didn’t. It was lazy and insulting to the audience.

And don’t even get me started on the contrived, unrealistic plot devices. The show constantly leaned on unbelievable moments to move things forward rather than relying on strong storytelling. Instead of making me feel invested, it left me rolling my eyes.

Overall, Military Prosecutor Doberman had one standout — the FL and her excellent acting. But everything else? Disappointing, predictable, and poorly executed. If the story had truly centered on her and her journey, it could have been something special. Instead, it wasted its potential propping up a useless male lead who never earned his place in the narrative.

So Cooool.

Firstly the cast is amazing. As Im watching this I love the story, I love how strong is the FL and also ML. There aren't many kdamas with both strong leads.
The music is better than in a dramas that are mainly based on music. I was happily surprised by this, and also it made it whole more exciting and dramatic. The music actually reminds me bit of a drama Idol:The coup It was just too dramatic with the music , but here as it's action drama, it's okay.
As I'm watching it now then after about 6 months after watching it whole i will watch it again :) it's seriously that good.

Revenge, Action and Redemption

This show has got to be one of the few shows that show the process of redemption of an originally horrible, irredeemable character. It was 2 characters in this show. Do Be Man and No Tae Nam. NTN's actor did an amazing job portraying the complex character that is No Tae Nam. One would argue, NTN never went to prison, which is unsatisfying. But people fail to realise military was his prison. Its the one place he never wanted to step in. I originally hated his character and never thought I'd end up feeling bad for him, or even like him. But the writer did so well with his character.

The show was great, and is perfect if you are looking for a revenge drama with minimal, and I repeat.. m i n m a l romance. Bullying, sexual harassment, abuse and rape were subjects discussed in the show. The show did a great job showing how much bullying can break down a person, even the nicest most calm person.

Overall, solid show, with a good cast. I will miss being Bo Hyun and Bo Ah together in a show.

Bel mix tra azione, adrenalina e procedurale

Un drama che mi ha appassionato dall'inizio alla fine e che è riuscito a mantenere un buon livello di attenzione .
Rientra nella categoria procedurale, ma gli autori sono riusciti a creare un buon mix tra scene d'azione e momenti adrenalinici. ci sono tanta azione e momenti adrenalinici,
e ho trovato funzionale l'epilogo dopo il passaggio di tempo con la chiusura degli archi narrativi più importanti.

Le storyline sono ben delineate gli autori sono riusciti a gestire a sviluppare tutte le storyline caratterizzando bene i personaggi e le situazioni. Ricorrono anche qui vari trope soprattutto legati al genere, ma sono per lo più funzionali o espedienti narrativi. Inoltre ho apprezzato che siano riusciti ad equilibrare anche i momenti comici lasciati ad alcuni personaggi specifici.
Come in "Vincenzo" ho apprezzato come gli autori abbiano sviluppato la connection sentimentale tra i due protagonisti.
Tra l'altro la serie sarebbe stata validissima indipendentemente dall'esistenza del lato romantico. I due personaggi protagonisti insieme avrebbero fatto comunque scintille.

In generale di rewatch non ne faccio e se li faccio guardo solo alcuni spezzoni della serie o alcuni episodi.

Lo consiglio a chi potrebbe piacere una storia di vendetta, redenzione e giustizia, con una validissima colonna sonora e del romanticismo solo accennato.
