final ending recap
The second season of DP will deal with the devastating consequences of the season 1 finale.
After being relentlessly harassed, Suk Bong snapped and took Hwang Jang-Soo hostage with the intent to kill him. It is thanks to Detective Na’s actions that he stops Suk Bong from killing Hwang, but Jun-Ho had to stop him from beating the defector too much.
In a quick turn of events, Suk Bong was able to grab Detective Han’s gun and chased after Hwang to finish what he had started. Han pleaded with Suk Bong to step down and offered him a full-scale investigation into the allegations against Hwang and his unit.
Despite Han and Jun-Ho’s intervention, armed military police guards appear and surround Suk-Bong. With few options in his mind, Suk Bong shoots himself in the head, but shoots himself in the neck and not the head, leaving him bleeding in pain, helplessly calling out to his mother.
