“D.P. 2” viewers poured compliments on Moon Sang Hoon’s impressive performance as deserter Kim Ru Ri.
Released on July 28th, Netflix’s original series “D.P. Season 2” is gaining popularity every day.
Recently, netizens in various online communities and SNS sites shared videos of the scene where Kim Ru Ri does a live broadcast in “D.P. 2”.
Portrayed by Moon Sang Hoon, Kim Ru Ri cannot tolerate the harsh bullying acts of his senior soldiers so he shoots them and escapes, becoming an armed deserter.
After the incident, breaking news about an armed deserter spreads across the country and emergency warnings are also issued.
After then, Kim Ru Ri turns on an Internet livestream to expose the acts of senior soldiers. Kim Ru Ri appears on the broadcast with a face full of anxiety, guilt and anger. He confesses, “I did shoot my senior officers that day. They harassed me, nonstop. I only shot them because I thought they’d kill me first.”
Kim Ru Ri tearfully says, “They kept saying unspeakable things about my mother. They used to shoot bug spray in my eyes and would hit me. The commanding officers knew but would look the other way. I really thought they’re gonna kill me, so I shot them in self-defense.”
He continues, “But the military is hiding it. All the torturing they did, it’s all being left out. How I was being bullied every day, it’s all being left out. They only talk about the f**king shooting! This is not how I’ll be remembered. I’ll tell the truth of how it went down! You lying motherf**kers!”, exploding with frustration.
Kim Ru Ri’s eyes, which are filled with fear at the beginning of the livestream, are now full of intense emotions as he expresses his unfairness and anger.
In particular, what’s even more surprising is that Moon Sang Hoon portrayed Kim Ru Ri perfectly although he is a Youtuber-turned-actor with a short acting career and did not major in acting.
Netizens who watched the scene praised Moon Sang Hoon, saying “His acting was shockingly amazing”, “I almost thought it was a real situation”, etc.
In fact, Moon Sang Hoon once suffered an absurd situation because of his realistic acting. After appearing in “D.P. 1”, a netizen thought he was a real soldier so they reported him to the police.
The actor underwent an investigation on charges of violating the law related to military uniforms and equipment, however, he was later cleared of all charges.
In addition, Moon Sang Hoon also showcased outstanding acting skills in ENA’s drama “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” as defendant Jung Hoon, who has an autism spectrum disorder. As a result, many drama fans are having high expectations for his future acting performances and activities.
