A North Korean nurse and a South Korean soldier fall in love during a tumultuous time of the Korean War, and experience lifetimes of consequences, separation and pain, with the hope of reuniting one day.
I rate this movie a 10 out of 10 because it is (in my humble opinion) an awesome achievement. This is a movie made by a Korean-American philanthropist, entirely made IN and WITH North Korea. Imagine making a period war movie today in North Korea, where they barely have enough food to eat. There are no special effects in this movie. Everything you see is real. The have no squibs or CGI, or breakaway glass, the bullet hits and bomb blasts are real explosions. Yes the story was obviously tampered with by one or another of the Kim Jongs but that made it only more interesting to my eyes, the deliberate propaganda is easy to see through and all the more telling as a result. If you watch this movie with this in mind, I guarantee you an eye-popping experience. – Jeffery Lando from Vancouver, Canada
