Jin-tae and his mother are tough workers, who sacrifice themselves to send Jin-seok to the university. When North Korea invades the South, the family escapes to a relative's house in the country, but along their journey, Jin-seok is forced to join the army to fight in the front, and Jin-tae enlists too to protect his young brother. The commander promises Jin-tae that if he gets a medal he would release his brother, and Jin-tae becomes the braver soldier in the company.

You okay?

LEE Jin-tae

I'll kill you if you

I mean it

One more minute

he would have died

Got it?

Why the hell did you

go for that mission?

Tell me

You weren't on the list

but you volunteered for it

Why is that?

I don't understand

why you did that

Just forget it

What if it was you

laying there

with your guts open!

Promise me

you won't do that again

Promise!

Alright

All I need is

just water

Why the hell are they

playing that music?

They know we're isolated

They're gonna drive us crazy

Remember the ice cream?

It was so good

Back home, you can eat it

till your teeth go numb

I wonder what mom

and Young-shin are doing...

I bet... Mom is really

worried about us

Uncle would be taking

good care of them

I miss them all

Young-guk, Young-ja

Young-min...

I should've...

set the dog free

- Seung-chul

- What's wrong?

Okay there?

Make him lie down

Uncle Yang...

my stomach hurts

Don't worry

You'll be okay

Where's my leg?

You call yourself doctor?

Don't see the maggots?

What are you good for?

Food?

Why no more?

Damn! It's about time!

Give us more!

Stop, you bastards!

My ears are exploding!

Are you gonna make us

go through hell?

You want to give up

Nak-dong River?

just a little longer?

Dismiss

- Sh*t!

We're going to die

here like dogs?

Starve to death

or shot to death

Who says we're gonna die?

They haven't given us food

or water for days!

We'll die

an honorable death

Soldiers are human, too!

What's the honor when

starving to death?

- Shut up!

- You crazy bastard

You'd go to them for

a piece of bread

It's better than

starving to death

Okay then, go on!

Go join the commies

I'll kill you before you get there

Surrendering is better than

starving to death like animals!

Who gives a sh*t who wins!

Is that ideology

important enough

to kill each other over?

You finished?

This is totally different from

our fight against Japan!

You damn communist!

F***, give back your badge!

you crazy f***!

Stop it, son of a b*tch

- Let go, let go!

This ain't circus!

Go back to the bunker!

This is it?

Let's attack them

We're so weak we can

- barely lift our guns

- One more day

and we'll be eating corpses

Or surrender to

the commies

They wouldn't expect us

to attack them

We've got nothing to lose

haven't we?

Let's go in and

wipe them out

I will fight!

I will, too!

I will follow too

- I have to be with my brother

- It's too late

I'm begging you, I want to

every single risky mission?

For a Medal...

To send me home?

What the hell are you doing?

You think you're bulletproof?

Every second I see

someone killed!

Are you mad?

Suppose you get the medal!

I'd be happy to go home

with leaving you dead?

How could I look at

mom and Young-shin?

You're still young and ill

But I'm a soldier now

Don't ask them to sit

me out again

You and I should be together

We live and die

together

Ifyou do this again

I wont' forgive you

Don't get me wrong

Already 15 dead

If I can live

staying behind

I will stay behind

- No way!

You want me to

watch you die?

I won't die, until I get you

back home safely

- Let's go

- Jin-tae!

You know

I want both of us to live

But if only one gets to go

I want it to be you

You alright?

You all did a great job!

Besides our victory

a successful landing

at Incheon

the 2nd attack into Incheon

Your bravery exemplifies

the men of this battalion

Raise this flag on Mt. Baekdu

by the Chinese border

Yes, sir!

Seoul, September 1950 Mr LEE, Could you look

at the camera when you are taking the picture?

Mr LEE, Could you look at the camera

when you are taking the picture?

Why were two brothers from

the same family in the same battle?

We had no other choice

but to volunteer the army

in order to protect

our country

from danger

We heard you did

a great job at Nak-dong river

Any other motivation

for fighting so bravely?

My only motivation

as a soldier

is to fight to prevent

my family from

suffering under

the oppression of

the communists!

Jin-tae!

I'm going to send

a letter home

Tell me what you

wanna write

We have to send it

with a local

Do I have to do it now?

- Sergeant LEE

- Yeah!

Let's do it later

I have to go to the reception

We've got to ask one of

the people on the street!

- Sergeant LEE

- Yeah!

You write something for me

See you later!

Jin-tae!

What is this?

Are you kidding me?

Give me some eggs!

Give me the eggs

Behave yourself!

Come on YANG!

Come on, an egg!

Is there anyone from

in Manri-dong?

Who lives in Manri-dong?

I don't remember

the last time I ate like this!

Nothing but vegetables!

Where's my egg?

So, do you like it?

You know, Jin-tae is

really going to be on TV?
