G. Nyeste Jun 27 2021 8:22 am I enjoyed this production. I was not aware of this pre-WW2 history and was very impressed by the story. A very good job by all the actors involved.

Lola Jun 22 2021 12:00 pm I'm Ryu Joon Ryeol and Hyejin big fan, they're such a great actors ... luv this movie it has great cast too.

Dian Oct 10 2020 10:48 pm Watching this movie is like the closing of mr. Sunshine....somehow i can imagine one of the sniper is go ae rin

latte Sep 15 2020 9:57 am I just finished to watch after saving it on my to-watch list for a really long time. I can say that this movie was really great. If I to give a rate, then it's 9.8/10. From the actors, actings, character developments, cinematography, plots, etc was really GREAT!!! I'm really satisfied after finished watching it. The war scene was so epic. I may be biased while writing this review, but Ryu Jun-yeol really portrayed his role so well and also other actors and staffs too as as well

songsong Jun 18 2020 9:23 pm is the movie about the right army like on mr. sunshine? if that so, i gonna watch it for sure

Daymare Jun 24 2019 1:56 am Interesting how they managed to cast Japanese actors in the movie since they usually refrain from villain roles in movies about the independence of Korea from Japan. Jo Woo-jin low-key looks like Yoo Yeon-seok as Dong-mae in "Mr. Sunshine" >v<

Pwint Phyo May 19 2019 1:27 am I'm RYU's big fan. I love his eye and action skill. So, I would like to watch this movie. " Be Healthy"...

PP May 19 2019 1:24 am Waiting for this movie to watch. and hoping RYU's action skill. By the way, I love RYU.

Shelly Mar 01 2019 3:35 pm Haejinsi, Junyeolsi, i'm looking forward for this movie
