Park ll-Kwon (Kim Roe-Ha) enforces a strict military discipline upon his squad and treats them accordingly. Park Il-Kwon believes sacrifices must be risked in order for missions to be completed. He is cool headed, with enemies and fellow soldiers fearing him. He used to be soft, but changed one day ... | |
|
Kim Joon-Beom (Lim Won-Hie) dreams of becoming of a storyteller. Fittingly, Joon-Beom is talkative and often complains a lot. At the same time, Joon-Beom is also a warm hearted person. The more soldiers that dies in the battles, the more Joon-Beom feels sorrow ... | |
|
Yeom Ha-Jin (Nam Sung-Jin) comes from the countryside. When residents were lining up to volunteer for the war, Yeom Ha-Jin lined up alongside them not knowing what he was signing up for. Now, Yeom Ha-Jin's goal is to survive the war and see his wife. His personality is a bit careless, but becomes very serious when battles erupt. | |
|
Yang Sang-Kil (Hong Kyoung-In) is best friends with Yeom Ha-Jin. Yang Sang-Kil takes cares of himself first, often taking supplies from the military. He used to be a gambler, but to his mother he is a very devoted son. | |
|
Park Joo-Yong ( Ryu Sang-Wook) volunteered to become a medic right before becoming an ordained priest. He volunteered to save lives, but in order to avoid death himself Park Joo-Yong must also kill. During battles Park Joo-Yong performs bravely, but when alone feels tremendous guilt from killing. | |
|
Jung Taek-Soo (Lee Seung-Hyo) was born into a wealthy family and raised in affluence. His world was then turned upside down when North Korean soldiers murdered his parents. Now, Jung Taek-Soo is full of hostility towards the North Korean Army and acts recklessly. | |
|
Baek Seung-Jin (Park Sang-Uk) is strong physically with a soft personality. He is simple and honest. His hobby is to play the trumpet. Baek Seung-Jin came over from Sergeant Park's squad and joined Hyun-Joon's squad to protect Kim Beom-Woo. | |
|
Kim Beom-Woo (Ahn Yong-Joon) is a boy soldier who volunteered with the goal of one day becoming a general. At first he was afraid of battles, but became used to it. To become a general Kim Beom-Woo believes he must receive a medal and because of this often acts without thinking. |

Being an avid fan of historical dramas, I like this war drama. A bit gratuitous when it comes to violence but wars are truly hell. I just hope that North and South Korea can reconcile their differences soon and eventually reunite. That sad song (what's the title of that one?) whenever Lee Soo-Kyung and Lee Hyun-Joong provides a powerful dramatic effect on such scenes. By the way, Jung-Hwa almost got my attention - until Miss North Korean camp commandant showed up in episode 12. What's her name by the way?

Very interesting drama. Sad the ratings are not very high. Should be 50 and above. Anyway, Choi Su-Jong is again excellent in his performance. And so are the rest.
PS: Somebody please change the photos for the actors! You can't even identify which is which with the rain and whatnot..
