Leafyleaf Mar 03 2022 2:16 pm For me realizing that this was a real life story brought me to tears. I must praise everyone that was part of this movie because it looked real and it was amazing

Kie Oct 25 2020 1:02 pm very emotional movie, cried a lot at the end. it reminds you about what comes out of a war... lots of death and sacrifice. and the fact this is based on a true story of 772 students with an average age of 17, all who had a future ahead of them... very heatbreaking that they were thrown into this battle as a backup for the battle at incheon, and then they even tried to cover it up as classified? this had a really good lineup (myungmin, minho, sungcheol, jaewook) and the cinematography and production was great.

AhgaseSonyeondan00 May 22 2020 1:45 am A very good patriotic movie to watch, highly recommended

kermoet Mar 08 2020 3:01 am D fact that Ha Ryun screamed for Sung Pil when he got shot, tjay scene actually a sad n dramatic scene, but i was chuckling. Coz he yelled SONG MIN HO..... well, real name is Choi Min Ho. Sung Cheol got different Min Ho ahahahahaha

JANGSARI ? Jan 27 2020 1:14 am When I said this is recommended, I really mean it. It was a good movie and sad at the same time ? My mom also like it
