In the Joint Security Area on the border of Panmunjom, a North Korean soldier in the post was killed one day by an unknown bullet, triggering a shootout between the two sides. Sophie, a neutral person, conducted the investigation and coordination. Lee Soo Hyuk on the South Korean side remained silent, while the survivor Oh Kyung Bi on the North Korean side showed hostility. In fact, the four sentries from North and South Korea became good brothers. On the night of Zheng Youzhen's birthday, when they were sharing gifts with each other, an officer of the Northern Dynasty happened to enter and see this scene. The five people froze on the spot. When they realized that they were not facing friends but enemies on the battlefield, they drew their guns and faced each other. Blood splattered everywhere, and heaven turned into hell in the blink of an eye. Brotherly friendship, when it comes to state relations, still has a minefield, which is deeply rooted. Just like on the last night, when Nam Sun took photos of the three, he changed the angle from time to time, just trying to hide the photos of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il on the back wall. They each love their own country, and can only communicate recklessly when they do not touch on the sensitive issues of the country. There are often symmetrical shots on both sides in the film, which is also a manifestation of opposition. Lee Young-ae's role is to show that a third country or even a neutral country is a disservice, causing people to think deeply. Fifty years of division and the desire to unite by blood are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of both the North and the South. "Originally born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other." I hope peace can belong to those who love peace.
