This looks good - hope it's going to air soon.

When is this 'expected' so far to air?

In such an oppressive system (of bullying), deserting is almost the natural conclusion for one to survive. The people shown running away are not spoiled, rich brats, as they would have maybe an easier time in the military as in civilian society. In the first/second episode, it is shown quite obviously in at that party.
Anyways, toughening people up and building camaraderie through hard training is much different than squashing the spirit and dignity though bulling. Don't get what the army brass, thinks in not helping stop abuse among soldiers - after all wouldn't an abused soldier think only about killing their enemies - with only problem - their enemies being fellow soldiers. I guess this is the best way to create unrest and make an army ineffective...

Not only that, the biggest problem is that it is a system of abuse not just a "few bad apples" when one wants to change it they are punished or thrown out.

He shot himself in the head but was unlucky and didn't die instantly, which was even more sad and terrifying.

This was insane - when is the next season coming out?!
Really heartbreaking, people deserting due to abuse and then continue to be abused outside or are brought back as criminals. And then nothing changes and the institution lies...instead of addressing the problem accordingly, and then resulting in worse situation because of lack of action. The ones who did the right thing are punished and those who did wrong proceed as normal.
When there is a problem, if it is not solved, it continues to fester and later is worse.
Recently, watched a documentary about a gay female soldier who was raped in the US military and the army didn't do anything, her rapist continued "life as usual" without any punishment and later she killed herself after not being able to take seeing him anymore. Her dream was to be a soldier. ...
Just don't get it, people go to genuinely serve and the army allows all kinds of degenerates to get away with anything. ...

Movie, cinematography and acting was phenomenal. The cast is just... out of this world. The ending was the best one - some justice was served.
Also, loved the quirky and weird humour. And the story was not predictable but plot line was smooth - without crazy jumps just a surprise value without meaning and depth.

SeikaRin says in their review to summarise this season as, "Love when you are ready and not when you are lonely" and that indeed this resonates with me, and further is a very good lesson in life.
Really loved it!

Because some men know how to fail up.

I feel like when reading the script or whatever - the production team were like, "so there's a lot of BL vibes and subtext, so we need to one hetero scene to make everything clear - their chemistry is horrible but one romantic scene should be doable..."

Probably a bit of both - the character was very weird and awkward and her acting was wooden.

Finally watched it - it is indeed amazing! Acting was phenomenal! Loved how many social issues were shown mater-of-factly - not overly sensationalised but also - not diminished. Different lives where death is a restful end of a long-lived life or a difficult and lonely one. Still in others a promising and hopeful journey cut too short - showing one should grab the chances when they present themselves because tomorrow is not guaranteed even for the young. It was so sad that the young doctor died when he decided to follow his heart instead of bow to society's/family's close-mindedness and still while goo that it was not suicide - which I feel may be overly represented in media - it was the whole situation of the moment a gay character "confesses" themselves or decides to be true to themselves - they are killed off. Here, the whole show is about death and the aftermath so that episode was infinitely important to me.
What about season 2?

Yes, now that I'm thinking - it seemed to me there was some homoerotic subtext also in Psychopath's Diary...

Really loved this drama - it balanced hard and sad moments with bubbly and fun one perfectly. The cast is amazing - I am very surprised by Shin Se Kyung's acting. At first I was hesitant to watch this because I really hated her acting in the last drama I watched her in - she has improved a lot. Really enjoyed her acting here and I just love Im Shi Wan in whatever I see him. Really, really good.
Also, it was good the 'normal' way that Go Ye Joon got a resolution - without any suicide themes (because that is put in too much media) it is good to show how it could be not so "scary" for the people around - something to strive for... just normal unrequited love situation and after - getting a partner.

Do we have release date YET?!

Love this show so much - just somewhat annoyed with the chemistry of the "bromance" (teasing a romantic relationship by different actions, and for anyone who doesn't agree - imagine, if either the "devil" prosecutor and the young prosecutor was a heterosexual pairing - then everyone would be expecting it) as as a high-budget project they will not deliver anything on that front. With the cinematography etc. there is almost a sexual tension happening... while the chemistry with any of the main female characters is nonexistent [is this a 'Chinese bromance'? - adaptation from a BL that has to pass censorship or is it queer-baiting].
Despite this dissonance, I love the drama so much - the acting and storyline are phenomenal. Also, I love Ji Sung so much.
=> keep watching!

Yes but I also liked that they didn't - He had decided not to date anyone - so did it matter who he liked.

It was short but the perfect length for the storyline, therefore, it the perfect length. :)

The drama was very good and showed many realities for young people - my university life was definitely not a romantic breeze. I didn't like the romance though - there was very little chemistry between the characters and it was the least interesting part of the drama - it was there seemingly only so that no one thinks this is a BL and these are "normal" people. Really hate that type of 'hetero-signalling'.
In the beginning there was some attempt to show the difficulties of Kim So Bin studying etc. but that was quickly abandoned and she was morphed into the girlfriend character - whose scenes always revolved around Jun or thinking, etc. of Jun or being saved by Jun. There was no real attention to her realisation in university - study, work for the professors. It was a great disservice to her character.
Also, the assault... what was with the scene of Chun Guk apologising in front of the whole class - why should a victim be forced to forgive their attacker out of embarrassment of being the center of attentions (which she has a PTSD about) or social pressure to be a "good woman" (who is a care-giver by heart). I think that whole storyline was botched. It was not properly shown how he was punished or his reform - he just showed up, made a spectacle and everything was forgotten...And it was annoying Chun Guk apologised to Jun for attacking So Bin - what does his forgiveness have to do with anything about that situation, except if he apologised for beating him up.
Space for improvement but a lot in the right direction. I loved that not everyone was in a romantic relationship by the end of the series - sometimes one just doesn't have the energy for a relationship depending on different things...and that's okay too.

Loved Vincenzo so much. Was annoyed with some storyline decisions but overall was a success for me. I enjoyed how dark it was - somewhat unusual for kdramas, which would set up a dark premise but will lighten the drama for the romance, which would destroy the initial set up and the romance will be very awkwardly woven. Now it was on point.
Acting was exceptional by everyone and production and everything was spot on.
