If Crash Landing On You is the only military K-drama you’ve watched or know of, perhaps it’s time you check out Military Prosecutor Doberman.

On the other hand, Cha Woo-in became a military prosecutor for a completely different reason. Unlike Bae-man, Woo-in doesn’t need the money as she comes from a wealthy family. Instead, her only objective is to seek revenge.
Regardless of their backgrounds and reasons for their career choice, Bae-man and Woo-in begin to open their eyes to the corrupt nature of the military, and they learn to overcome predicaments together.
