Han Htoo Aein Jun 12 2025 3:51 am >>>Well, I watched this movie for some reasons. All the things that happened in this movie are happening in the real life, in my country right now! How cruel!!! Military coup happened even in this 21st century?? Yes, it is. Thousands of people died, youths are in jail, civilians not able to live peacefully all because of that motherfu*ker MinAungHlaing. I hope all these things happening right now are finish soon and hope we can also make a film like this in the near future as a history.

>>>But, we didn't have generals like Major General Lee Tae-shin. :( Those bastard generals only care what is the stock price of their companies.

country bumpkin Feb 14 2025 4:56 am first time i watched a, i dunno what genre this one is, political thriller flick perhaps. The movie is that good, less than half way i feel like want to instigate a coup attempt. lol. The tension built up was awesome, and the pace was like getting faster and faster. I have to stop in the scene where the shooting started, because, somehow, i got so into it. lol. In for Lee Sung Min, but so far, every other actors turned out to be even more captivating. Respect..! btw, this is a fiction right inspired by factual events, but still lots of fictional addition, right? I mean c'mon, Korea is such a well developed matured economy, so no way this took place

Kwan Sep 29 2024 2:13 pm Just watched this movie. The real events took place one year after I moved from South Korea back to the U.S. The movie brought tears to my eyes at seeing so many innocent ROK soldiers die for someone else's power hungry phycology. I couldn't believe that Lee Tae Shin (Jang Tae Wan) was tortured for doing the right thing for his country. Great acting by all!

MR Jun 01 2024 12:38 pm Gripping and suspenseful. Had me hooked from start to finish. I'm unfamiliar with the real-life event so the ending both surprised and broke me. Every country has a dark history. 12.12.1979 wasn't ROK's finest hour but this movie is definitely one of ROK's finest movies. A masterpiece!

Jss Feb 14 2024 2:36 pm If this is based on a true event I so sad way back before of whats happening in South Korea military ? Its true that its not good for a soldier engage into politics ? So heartbreaking to those soldiers who are true to their land are sacrificing.

Max Feb 14 2024 12:06 pm i read around and president did die and chun did rule for 10yrs or so, but the lead up to his victory was so bad, surreal, level 3-4 managed to turn the tables on all the heads above, just seem nonesense, you might as well said the cleaners kicked the govt as they are many and access etc. I guess the writer didnt know the real reason and just make lots of poor dots to join them. i do not know why it is so good

Jil Feb 13 2024 2:15 pm Dark history of korea.

But good thing in korea, they learned.

My country, PH, just elected the son of the former dictator. Shame.

Js Feb 12 2024 11:56 pm Gosh! How angry I was watching this show ! I hope it is unreal .. the more I watch the more I want to stop watching it ! How hate to see the bad guy win in the war .. sucks and fxxx ( blood boiling ) .. don’t watch if u don’t want to have blood boiling
