In Love and War

Synopsis: Young Park Seol-Hee is eagerly planning her wedding to a young anti-Communist activist when the North Koreans invade. Her fiancé is forced to flee, leaving her behind with her family in their tiny, rural South Korean village. Rather than resist the North Korean regiment that comes to occupy the area, the townspeople (to Seol-Hee's dismay) decide to cooperate with them in order to ensure their own survival. The North Koreans, however, turn out not to be all that Seol-Hee expected. She soon realizes that there is a history between her family and that of the regiment's leader, Lieutenant Kim Jeong-woong. In between the hilarious day to day antics of Seol-Hee's eccentric family and the hard realities of war, the attachment between Seol-Hee and Jeong-woong grows. As the occupation continues, Jeong-woong becomes torn between trying to follow the increasingly harsh orders from his general and protecting the people that he has come to love and care for so much.

By the way, Sis!

You love Taek-su a lot,

don't you?

'Love'? That sounds absurd.

Then you're marrying him

not out of love?

That's enough!

When you and I were young

- Stop it!

- My love, Taek-su

Really?

Oh my!

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

What are you doing?

What if someone sees us?

Who cares?

What is that?

Is it a toilet or a pot?

- Dae-shik!

- Yes, Master.

Carefully carry this for her.

Of course, Master.

Here we go!

What about me?

Don't run!

You'll regret it if you fall!

You're so lucky Sul-hee.

Shall I get married again?

So...

...my mom rode in this?

That was the best ride

during those times.

Breaking news.

At dawn, the monstrous

North Korean soldiers attacked...

Our brave soldieries...

destroyed...

Citizens, do not be afraid...

What is he saying?

He said that the commies barged in.

But our soldiers destroyed them.

So we shouldn't worry.

I was afraid that Sul-hee's

wedding wouldn't happen.

Don't speak such nonsense.

Don't you know Dr. Rhee Seung-man?

He got a doctorate for

getting rid of commies.

That's not the doctor that I know.

You're just an herb digger,

so you don't know crap.

Whether it's a commie or a Nazi,

he converts them all!

I don't know crap for an herb digger?

One, two, three!

- Don't lift it!

- No!

I told you not to lift it!

Are you okay?

But I've been on a diet lately.

This thing is too weak.

I told you to change

that wooden arm for ages.

But you always pick

those useless roots.

This isn't a useless root.

It's a wild ginseng!

Then it must go well

with those potatoes.

You two will get into a fight.

He's just overreacting.

It's not worth fighting for.

Now, since we're all here,

let's talk about the wedding.

Yes, go ahead.

So you take the bride's gifts.

Suk-ho.

Suk-ho, you take care of the lantern.

How could you stuff your face

when the mayor is talking?

How long do I have

to carry the lantern?

What?

Send me off to get married, too!

Don't worry, kid.

I'll hook you up with Soon-hee.

What is she crying for?

She's no better.

I'm leaving!

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

That silly boy!

Wow, it's so soft.

Nam Taek-su

Mend my clothes out of silk

for my wedding, too, okay?

You'll dirty it!

Put it down!

You're always getting on my case.

That crazy cuckoo is back again.

Don't let the elders see you

and hurry on back.

You sit down.

I told you to sit down.

What if Taek-su does

something bad to her?

So don't interfere and just sit.

You're so blind.

What's wrong?

I'm just worried

before the wedding.

Nothing will happen, right?

You're so cute.

Sul-hee,

forgot who I am?

An Anti-commie Youth Group member.

Don't be afraid of the commies.

I'll protect you,

so don't worry, okay?

What if someone sees?

Who's going to see us here?

Everybody!

We didn't kiss, so come on out!

Are you crazy?

Where are you going?

Forget it!

Sul-hee, wait for me!

Go away!

I almost had a heart attack!

Wake up! There's big trouble!

You have to run away!

What are you fussing about?

Why don't you get what I'm saying?

Seoul is under attack!

You have to run away!

Run away at this hour?

Taek-soo's wedding is in two days!

They're supposedly killing everyone

from the Anti-commie Youth Group.

What?

Taek-su is in serious danger!

I wandered today to the hill,

Maggie

To watch the scene below the creek

And the creaking old mill Maggie

My love Maggie

Now, verse two!

You have to plant it in order!

Like this?

Just do as she says.

What book is she following?

Plant it in a row!

Like this?

Take a look!

We can plant double

if we do it in order like this!

Damn it!

This damn cow keeps farting.

It's more uselss than a pig.

Move it!

Mayor!

Taek-su...

His relative from Seoul came down

and took everyone with him

except for us.

What nonsense are you talking?

Rumors that the commies

took over Seoul must be true.

My baby girl!

The wedding is in two days.

But how could he abandon his bride?

What will happen

to our Sul-hee now?

Dad!

Sukjunglee Village

The South Koreans are watching!

Straighten up and walk proudly!

Kim Nam-bo!

Come out!

Jang Dae-shik!

Hurry!

Park Suk-ho!

Dad...

Stay still.

You all must be worried

about us suddenly barging in.

We're not the enemy!

I came for us to cultivate this land

and live together with all of you.

There will be no trouble if you

cooperate like this comrade here.

Isn't that Mr. Baek

from Sodommol Village?

We, the people's liberators,

are here to be at your service.

These proud young comrades

will be volunteer soldiers.

They will obtain the glory to

fight against the American side.

I heard that all the draftees

got shot and killed.

That son of a b*tch.

Who is the mayor?

Where are Nam Taek-su

and Nam Joo-sa?

I'd like to know for myself, too.

You bastard!

Answer him right!

Grandpa! Grandpa!

How could you hit an elderly?

Do you want to to die?

Sul-hee! Sul-hee!

Just answer the question.

You disgrace.

You sons of b*tches!

Stop it!

That's enough.

What are you waiting for?

Take them away!

They came to liberate the persecuted?

Who here is persecuted?

I can't stand it anymore!

Whether I get shot or not,

I'm going to kill those commies!

So nobody stop me!

Although the men got taken away,

what about Sul-hee?

I'm worried she doesn't get hurt

while being among all those men.

There you go again.

Is this the right time to say that?

Is it because you got widowed early?

You're so immature.

What does being a widow

got to do with it?

I thought you were going

to go kill those commies!

Hurry up then!

What's wrong with you two?

Is this the time to fight?

Hey, did you see Mr. Baek?

He was wearing a red armband.

He must've decided

to become a commie.

His family has been disloyal

for generations.

During all the foreign invasions

or internal feuds in the past,

someone from his family

stuck to the leader.

During the Japanese occupation,

he always wore the Japanese flag

on his forehead.

A kimono is much tighter.

So walk carefully.

I thought he was bleeding

from a head wound.

Are you a Japanese informer?

Eat this!

Are you crazy?

I heard that he was the first here

to change his name to Japanese.

The first here?

Probably the first in the country.

Get out of here, you Korean!

Wait a minute!

The Japanese didn't even force us

at that time.

But he dragged all his family

to the Japanese.

I want to change my name

into Japanese.

And my whole family!

But how could he be fine until now?

He wouldn't have survived

the lndependence Movement.

Once he heard that Japan

lost the war,

this time he flapped around

the Korean flag like a mad man.

He cheered "freedom" so much

he was foaming at the mouth.

People said he was going

to have a stroke soon.

Whether it was the Japanese

or the draft,

none of his family was taken away.

Oh yeah, when his grandfather

was suspected of being a commie...

I don't know this person.

He said he wasn't related to him.

Oh, that?
