A brave portrayal of what really goes on

Whilst I hope the different story lines in this drama are fictional, it is scary to contemplate what really goes on in a closed culture where seniority rules.
Beautifully told and acted I struggled with what many young men have to go through in South Korea with no choice. I think I understand why military service is compulsory, and it is a very different place to live in than where I am from, but it must be just so hard.
The 2 main characters were amazing and I’m looking forward to season 2 very much.
