In Love and War Page #4

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.

Quiet!

I will determine the location

after I make an inspection.

How far is it?

We're almost there.

There it is.

Over there?

The ground is exceptional there.

Our land expert thinks highly of it.

There hasn't been a piece of land

that I haven't inspected.

All the mountains and water

surrounding this village

is like creating a dragon's nest.

If you look carefully at the soil,

it's like the food that breeds it.

- Dragon's food?

- You got to be kidding me.

You'll be cured of diseases and can

dodge bullets if you carry it around.

Oh yeah? Then why did his father's

grave turn out so horrible?

I heard you struck a water vein.

Yeah, it was a hot spring!

You don't need to listen to them.

There's no land like it in Korea.

If you plant a dead tree there,

a flower will bloom the next day.

This isn't just dirt.

- What are you doing?

- It's medicine!

Don't eat the rocks.

Why don't you just swallow it?

While we're on the subject,

kill him and bury him there.

If he survives tomorrow,

then we'll be on our way.

That sounds perfect.

I got a tool for it right here.

Good thing you brought that.

What's wrong with you all?

It's because of him.

I will make my decision

with careful examination.

Next is Sukjunglee.

Sukjunglee Air-raid

Shelter Exhibition

First, I'd like to define

what the air-raid shelter is.

What is an air-raid shelter?

An air-raid shelter is made

to avoid explosions.

Sodommul aims to build a shelter on

an empty land without a single tree.

We are to face the explosion

and not avoid it.

This is a plane, right?

If I were the pilot,

I'd want to drop about two bombs

right about here.

To put it simply,

this is the land of hell!

The first condition is that it must

be concealing and inconspicuous.

Our suggestion is right over there.

It's dark and misty so you can't tell

whether it's day or night.

About 84 percent of our children

were made there.

That's right.

We did it there, too.

The second condition...

Grandpa, don't just lie there.

Say something.

Lieutenant?

He has something to say.

Elder comrade.

Come to your senses.

Elder comrade.

Air...

Air...

Air-raid shelter...

Elder comrade.

- Elder comrade.

- Grandpa...

Oh no, poor Grandpa!

Grandpa, I will take things over

and create a great shelter.

I will dig it perfectly.

The time for a great improvement

of Sodommul has come!

Start the dig!

You said that you were going to win.

I knew something

was up his sleeve.

Dig deep, Jae-choon.

Comrade Jae-choon,

eat this and cheer up.

What are you doing?

It looked too empty here.

Go down.

Just leave it.

It wasn't me. It was the cow.

When is dad coming back?

I want to ride on his shoulders.

This is killing me.

Giddyup! Giddyup!

Stop overreacting, Lieutenant.

It wasn't me.

It was him.

You're going to do

the rest of the field, right?

Since you took everyone away,

we're short of hands for farming.

How can l?

The sun will set soon.

Hurry and eat.

Lieutenant!

Big trouble!

How could there be water?

Nice and clean.

I told you so!

It's a hot spring!

Everywhere I dug, it was all water.

I thought we came here to dig a well.

That's an air-raid shelter?

Look! A rainbow!

The air-raid shelter

will be dug in Sukjunglee.

Also, all the comrade men who are

volunteer soldiers will instead

dig the air-raid shelter.

Great news! Hurray!

Hurray!

Finally, in order to watch over any

anti-communist movements

our camp will be moved

to the Mayor's home.

Comrade Park Sul-hee, teach

the children again at the church.

But they must not go to the training

ground nor the air-raid shelter.

Is that understood?

Yes, Lieutenant.

That is all.

But, Lieutenant!

Lieutenant, please have a drink.

No thank you.

We don't drink.

- But this booze is good.

- I'm okay.

Come on and have a drink.

Yes, it won't kill you.

Have a drink.

Okay, then I'll have just one drink.

Okay.

Dad!

"White Stone"

From Park Seung-tae to Jung-woong

The snow falls heavily tonight

as my poor self

thinks about my beautiful Natasha.

I love Natasha,

the show falls heavily,

and I sit lonely

while drinking soju.

While drinking I think,

Natasha and l...

Natasha and l...

I can't remember.

Natasha and...

Natasha and I ride on a white donkey

to the mountain in the snowy night.

The snow falls heavily,

and beautiful Natasha loves me.

Even the white donkey somewhere

will love this night and sing.

There's a seed in it.

But why?

Am I supposed to eat the seed?

You're right.

Don't eat the seed.

Like I felt ten years ago,

poems really don't suit you.

What do you mean it doesn't suit me?

I'm a very sensitive man, you know.

I just had a drink, that's why.

You held on to this until now?

He raised his head and said...

Now I have nothing to do but die.

How can the rich be so full?

His wife comes running in...

Oh my goodness!

Take it.

I said take it right now!

He's just a kid.

Why are you being so cruel?

Don't treat everyone so harshly.

Fueling animosity creates

anti-communism.

Soviet Marxism

Loving this night I weep.

What did you just say?

You want to be the digging captain?

Yes.

Since it will be dug here,

I will be the digging captain.

I don't believe this.

You know how hard I tried

to lure that air-raid shelter?

Mission Accomplished!

You know how hard I tried

to lure that air-raid shelter?

So you want to be what?

Digging captain.

Comrade Jae-choon,

do you have to do this?

I'm digging for my pride,

not the ground.

Hurry and blow the whistle.

Ready!

Stop it!

Over four feet.

No, wait!

Four and a half feet.

Wait...

Eight and a half feet!

- You did it!

- Hurray!

The digging captain

is Comrade Dae-shik.

So don't fight and work under

the leadership of Comrade Dae-shik.

Pro-Japanese, Anti-communists,

Landowners, and all their families.

Write up anyone suspected

of communicating with the enemy,

and punish them once

the air-raid shelter is complete.

Even if it wasn't an order,

isn't it our duty anyway?

Remove that big rock first.

This is so frustrating.

Suk-ho,

don't grab

the shovel like that.

You!

Is it your first time shoveling?

How you angle it is important.

It doesn't matter

how strong you are.

You can't do this?

Screw this!

If you're so good at it,

then shovel it yourself!

Yeah, if you're going to just nag,

what's the point of picking you?

They should've just picked a nagger.

You just threw that shovel, right?

So you're doing

an anti-communist act?

Who's doing an anti-communist act?

Watch what you say!

Let go of me.

As long as I am captain,

my words are the Lieutenant's order.

You must've lost your mind.

Shall we kill him

or save him, Jin-il?

Why are they digging it so fast?

What are you doing?

I didn't do anything anti-communist.

Comrade, you're a very loyal person.

I've never been

complimented like that.

I usually hear that I look

like a petty thief.

My face must be likeable

in the North.

I mean that someone trustworthy
