Is the series worth the hype?

We totally believe it is! There are certain unique pointers about this series that we should look at to determine whether the series has got the x-factor. Firstly, though there are several films and series based on law, ‘Military Prosecutor Doberman’ might be the first series to explore the military legal system in such an intriguing way. Additionally, the series is written by Yoon Hyun Ho, whose work in the film ‘The Attorney’ and the series ‘Lawless Lawyer’ gathered appreciation from all quarters. Considering the writer's obvious expertise in the subject matter, it is only fair to expect the series to deliver.

Another reason the series is a sure hit is the unique twist concerning one of the main leads. Though they are polar opposites, the pair's synergy and intertwined passion to punish evil will surely make for exciting viewing. Besides the corruption within the legal system and the social issues explored, what has caught the attention of the viewers is the presence of the Doberman dog in the series.
