The film is a complex, with disaster movies as the skeleton, including North and South Korean spies, action shootouts, human dramas, etc., as well as funny plots, all of which have been carefully calculated by the producer.

Compared with previous Korean disaster films, the film has no obvious breakthrough, the ending can be easily predicted, and the spirit of sacrifice in the face of disasters is an old routine. The film also failed to break the outdated framework of Korean peninsula-themed films, that is, whenever the peninsula was at a critical moment of life and death, the United States seized the dominance of the South Korean government, and the latter became an incompetent government that "gets in the way"
