There is a line that cannot be crossed.

DramaWar

A member of Coast Guard Platoon 23, Private Kang monitors a high-infiltration stretch of beach lined with barbed-wire fencing. Driven by the belief that killing a spy is the highest honor, he waits for a chance to prove his worth.

VIBE

A suffocatingly grim and tense military drama. It’s a bleak, brooding look at the psychological toll of constant vigilance and the devastating consequences of mistakes made under immense pressure. The atmosphere is thick with dread and unspoken trauma.
