Fans of the Korean drama series “DP” can rejoice as the highly anticipated second season is set to be released on July 28, according to an announcement by Netflix. The show, which made waves with its gripping storyline and stellar performances, garnered widespread acclaim upon its initial release in August 2021.
The lead actor, Jung Hae-in, will reprise his role as Ahn Jun-ho, a private assigned to the task of arresting army deserters.
