Set against the backdrop of the military, often seen as a microcosm of society, the show delivers a sharp, bold message about societal absurdities. D.P. captivated not only Korean viewers but audiences worldwide with its fresh subject matter centered on the “Deserter Pursuit” team, its tightly-woven, puzzle-like storyline, and the powerful performances of the cast, which revealed new dimensions of the actors. The visually and audibly satisfying direction further enhanced its appeal. Season 2, in particular, added to the enjoyment by introducing genre variations with each episode, including action, musical, and mystery-horror elements. With each episode leaving a lasting impression, the series felt more like a collection of short films, while maintaining the entertaining dynamic of the beloved “Junho-Yeol” duo (Ahn Jun-ho and Han Ho-yeol). Director Han Jun-hee expressed his desire to portray the multi-dimensional growth of the characters since Season 1, reinforcing the continuity of the series by titling the start of Season 2 as Episode 7. The Season 2 scriptbook includes the prologue by D.P.: Dog's Day author Kim Bo-tong and director Han Jun-hee, the original scripts for episodes 7-12, storyboards of highlight scenes, concept art, on-set stills, and an essay by film critic Son Hee-jung, offering a comprehensive look into the essence of D.P.. The book reflects the sincerity of the production team as they tackle the themes presented in the series. The first edition of the scriptbook comes in a sturdy hardcover and features a limited-edition bookcase, which visualizes the increasingly detailed conflicts and events in a dense military pattern. It is designed to complement the first season’s scriptbook for collectors. First edition buyers will receive printed autographed cards with signatures and handwritten notes from Kim Bo-tong, Han Jun-hee, and actors Jung Hae-in, Koo Kyo-hwan, Kim Sung-kyun, Son Seok-koo, Ji Jin-hee, and Kim Ji-hyun.
