June 24, 1950. For the livelihood of his family, Jin Taeshines shoes every day in Jongno, Seoul. Although his life is hard, he only needs to think of his brother Jin Sukwho finally entered the university campus due to his own efforts., as well as British and lovers about to showmarriage and full of hope and happiness, he felt very pleased.
But just as Zhentai was immersed in his own happy world, the sudden bad news changed everything. One day, Zhenshuo, who returned from school, blushed and told Zhentai that a war was about to break out. At the same time, there was an atmosphere of war everywhere on the radio and on the streets outside. Military trucks full of soldiers and military exercises passed by again and again, the crowd on the street looked rushed, and the former bustling Jongno suddenly fell into chaos. The sound of bombing, calls for help from a distance, and more and more corpse trucks made Zhentai strongly aware of the coming of war.
Jin Tae panicked and packed his bags and brought his family and Young Soo's younger siblings to join the evacuation ranks. They were afraid to leave, so they joined hands and followed closely, and finally arrived in Daegu in the dust. But at this moment, the brothers Zhentai and Zhenshuo were pushed onto the military train in a daze. At this moment, they knew that they had been forcibly conscripted and were about to go to the front.
Zhentai, who was forcibly conscripted, had to leave behind Yingxiu, who had promised to marry in this fall, and her ill mother, and joined the army with his younger brother, Zhenshuo. Zhentai and Zhenshuo were dragged to the battlefield that swallowed the lives of tens of thousands of people every day, and the only wish of Zhentai who participated in the war was to let his brother Zhenshuo go home alive rather than die. Therefore, Zhentai, hoping to let his younger brother go home alive as long as he earns a medal on the battlefield, threw himself into this unpredictable cruel war. And Zhenshuo, who is simple and kind, did not lose his pure heart in this bloody war. He grew up while experiencing cruel wars.
