Synopsis: In 1950, in South Korea, shoe-shiner Jin-tae Lee and his 18-year-old old student brother, Jin-seok Lee, form a poor but happy family with their mother, Jin-tae's fiancé Young-shin Kim, and her young sisters. 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. Along the bloody war between brothers, the relationship of Jin-seok with his older brother deteriorates leading to a dramatic and tragic end.

I miss the noodles

your mom cooks

The loser doesn't eat

for two days!

Do it right, bastards!

- Won't you do it right?

- Kill him! kill him!

Do it right, bastards!

You want 5?

You ain't hungry?

You crazy bastard

do it right!

You see now?

Like this! Like this!

Think of him

as South Korean pig

Like this!

Fight until one gets

knocked out

If not, I'll kill

both of you

You got it?

You got it!

Who's going to be

the damn South Korean?

You do it!

You don't need to

You don't have to

It's you and me now

- What the hell are you doing?

- Isn't this a game?

Fight, or you'll die

of starvation

- Stop it!

- Come on

Come on, son of a b*tch!

Come on!

There you go

that's the way

We're not done yet!

We fight until one

of us can't get up!

We fight until the end!

- You are killing him

- Let go!

Anyone tries to stop me

I'll kill you, too!

Get up, or you'll

starve to death!

Come on!

Fight or you're dead

I said, fight, you pig!

Bring it on!

Bastard!

Many of our brave soldiers

sacrificed their lives

for their country

And the long awaited victory

Is very close

- Just stay still!

- It hurts!

I can't help it

When the hell can we go home?

And General MacArthur

has ordered

UN forces to advance

to the north

The victory is ours

You all did a great job

Reunification is right before us...

Victory!

What's going on over there?

We're going home!

home!

Ok, let's kick some ass!

It looks like the war

may be over soon

I wouldn't be so sure

I heard Chinese will back the north

That's just commie propaganda

Uncle Yang

what do you think?

The Sunspot and Great Bear

are losing energy now and...

We will be home

before the New Year

You really sure this time?

What the hell!

Okay, I believe you

Sergeant LEE

Sergeant LEE

Congratulations!

He'll get the Medal of Honor!

I expected it

you would get it

You got it for catching

the captain alive

The commander is

really pleased

- What is that medal of honor?

- You idiot!

Any time 'honor' is in

the medal's name, it's good

Tomorrow the commander will

award it himself tomorrow

Let's give him a big hand!

Sergeant LEE, now you can

be a soldier forever

Jin-seok!

Let's talk

Make it short

I'm on duty

You can go home soon

Then go back to school

right away

You missed a lot

You're the one that needs

to go home

You're sick

I'm not going home

You'll do what I say

- I don't want anything from you

- Listen to me

What's wrong with you?

I worked my ass off

for that medal!

This is a great chance

for us!

For you, not for me

Have you thought about

what the medal means?

I don't care

I needed one to

send you home

That medal costs Yong-man's life!

I won't go

You have to go to college!

What good is college now?

I hate everything

you stand for

Don't tell me what to do

Do you really mean that?

I will make my own decisions

Don't tell me what to do

You really want

either of us to die?

Then, you go home instead!

What did I risk my life for?

I didn't ask you to!

I want... you to go home alive

I also want to go home

y'know

But you are our family's...

dream and hope!

I never regretted

giving up school

and shining shoes for you

Mom happily broke

her back for you

Do you know our sacrifices?

I know all

Why am I the only one you

think about?

If you think about

Young-shin and

Yong-man, you couldn't have done it

I don't care what you think

as long as you can go home

The command post will leave first

Take the classified documents

and burn the others

Yes, sir!

One more telegram

Retreat to 2nd rendezvous point

Date of Order 09:00 hours

Regiments 12, 13 and 25

are already retreating

US army is retreating, too

How many Chinese

reinforcements are coming?

For Woon-san city alone

at least 100,000

They'll fire on

us any minute, sir

Hurry, they're

getting close

Sergeant LEE

what are you doing?

What the hell!

Everything was going so well

People of Chosun f***ing liberated

We'll never get home

before New Year!

We're just gonna leave?

How stupid!

Shouldn't we die here?

This is wrong!

We should be fighting

Stop bitching and hurry up!

I wanted to believe your sh*t

but look at this!

Hey, make it fast!

Get the jeep ready!

How far are we

gonna carry them?

- Don't move!

- Who the f*** are you?

Get him!

Oh f***!

Hold!

- Sergeant Huh!

- I'm alright, retreat

Medic!

Call the medic!

Sergeant Huh!

Bastards...

Where's my arm?

Stay back

or I'll kill him!

- Put the dagger away!

- You come closer and I'll kill you!

Kill them all!

Don't come any closer

Don't come any closer

Hurry, just kill them!

Don't come any closer

Shoot him!

Step back!

Ifyou come closer

this bastard is dead!

No!

Yong-seok, come on!

Yong-seok! Yong-seok!

Are you crazy?

How could you...

How could you do that to...

You bastard!

Stop this!

Bring him back!

You're a murderer!

What the hell are you doing?

You two knock it off!

We're all gonna die!

We've got to get out of here!

How come... we're

retreating without fighting?
