Awkward gazes toward Kim Dong-jun… The ★s in the military come to mind(New Soldier 3)[TV Comprehensive]
The return of Legend Guntents(Army + Content) was announced.
Genie TV original drama ‘New Soldier 3’(directed by Min Jin-ki and Jo Je-wook, written by Yoon Ki-young and Kang Go-eun), which was first released on the 7th, attracted attention in just 2 episodes. The unexpected storm that came in front of ‘military chief’ Park Min-seok(played by Kim Min-ho), who had put a corporal in a high position, announced a spectacular start and succeeded in capturing laughter and empathy. The 2nd episode recorded 2.4% in the metropolitan area.(Based on Nielsen Korea’s paid household standard)
In the drama, Park Min-seok appeared as a private who had slightly shed his ‘aura of a waste of time’ and adapted to the military. A new wind blew through the Shinwha unit as much as Park Min-seok had grown. After FM Company Commander Oh Seung-yoon(played by Kim Ji-seok) left, the new Company Commander Jo Baek-ho(played by Oh Dae-hwan) appeared. He had a strong impression and a sturdy appearance. At the first roll call, when everyone felt that he was a formidable opponent, the unexpected words that came out of his mouth were “Loyalty! I love you.” He even took off his shirt, shouted, and passed the guard. The Shinwha unit members began to cheer at Jo Baek-ho’s actions, saying that he would give an additional vacation as a reward if he built abs.
News came that a new recruit was coming to the Shinwa Unit, filled with love and peace. The squad members, including Park Min-seok, began planning a rookie game. This time, Park Min-seok was the main character. However, everyone could not help but shut their mouths at the face that appeared when the door to the dormitory was opened. He was none other than the national actor Je-gye(played by Kim Dong-jun). However, the festive atmosphere was short-lived. An extraordinary rookie appeared in Dormitory 1, which had lost Je-gyeok to Dormitory 3, and turned the atmosphere upside down. For some reason, Moon Bit-na-ri(played by Kim Yo-han), who reminded people of Park Min-seok’s rookie days, gave off a ‘scent of a bad grade’ from the start.
‘Sergeant Park Min-seok’, who had been using method acting to fool the new recruits as planned, was trying his best to become ‘Private Choi Il-gu’. However, Park Min-seok’s excessive immersion eventually caused Choi Il-gu to explode. In the midst of the sudden chase between Park Min-seok and Choi Il-gu, Moon Bit-na-ri accidentally made the mistake of throwing an uppercut at Choi Il-gu. The rookie play at the first dorm ended in chaos.
The Shinwha unit, which was excited by the appearance of a new recruit who was different from everyone else, Moon Bit-na-ri, who had been getting the whole world’s attention and had been acting up since day one, was turned upside down by another unexpected face. It was Sung Yoon-mo(played by Kim Hyun-gyu), who was acquitted due to insufficient evidence and ordered to return to the first barracks. Kim Sang-hoon(played by Lee Choong-goo), who had been sent to the military prison because of Sung Yoon-mo, went straight to find Jo Baek-ho, but all he got in return was, “I’m sorry I couldn’t stop you.” Choi Il-goo, who couldn’t stand to see this, ended up ‘excluding Sung Yoon-mo from the squad.’
However, Sung Yoon-mo, who returned, acted as if he were dead, unlike before. He apologized tearfully in front of Park Min-seok, saying, “I’m sorry. I’ve reflected a lot,” and even helped Moon Bit-na-ri out whenever she was in trouble. Moon Bit-na-ri, who didn’t know Sung Yoon-mo’s record, was just grateful for Sung Yoon-mo, who was like a ray of light in her difficult private life. Park Min-seok, who noticed Moon Bit-na-ri’s behavior of not keeping to the ‘exception of the class’, called him out and warned him. At that moment, Sung Yoon-mo appeared, defended Moon Bit-na-ri, and confronted Park Min-seok, saying, “Stop it,” increasing the tension. Curiosity is growing as to whether Private Park Min-seok will be able to handle the sudden appearance of new recruits and the resulting increased difficulty in military life, and what Sung Yoon-mo’s hidden intentions are.
On the other hand, it is not all laughable that senior soldiers flock to the world of new recruits who are celebrities in society to show interest or see their bodies in groups. This is even more so because it is a problem that male celebrities who have enlisted in the military to fulfill their actual military service may face.
