It is said that the Civil War is the treasure of Korean films. Korean filmmakers express their creations freely. The North-South themes are sometimes serious, sometimes absurd, and sometimes compiled into popcorn entertainment films. Jiang Di-kyu has become an important director in this type of subject matter. It is said that the revitalization of Korean films is the prelude to the breaking of his "Life and Death Spy Change", and reaches the peak of production with his blockbuster mode of "Flag of Tai Chi". I deeply feel Jiang Digui's preference for the North and South themes.
A few years ago, he was invited by Youku to shoot a master micro-film "Love". The short film tells a love story that was changed by the Civil War. At the beginning, his eyes were full of Gao Xiu's face. At that time, I didn't have some knowledge of Korean movies, sensationalism was sensational, tears were tears, but I was really fascinated.

At the beginning of 2004, "The Tai Chi Flag Flying" starring Won Bin and Jang Dong Gun received more than 11 million viewing records after its release. Korean movies are still not like China. An actor can be recognized as long as he has good acting skills, and is not limited by the difference in appearance. Yuan Bin's films always come out on top in terms of appearance. No matter how sloppy he is in "Uncle", he is a handsome pawnshop owner, and he is also a handsome fool in "Mother". In "The Taiji Flag Flying", he was evenly matched, and he met the mature Zhang Dongjian at a young age.

Jang Dong Gun plays the elder brother of a shoemaker. He has a beautiful and virtuous fiancée with several younger siblings. Although his mother has a bad voice and can't speak well, she is still healthy. The whole family hopes that Won Bin's younger brother, a middle school student, will be able to enter the university and make the family proud. . The family is harmonious and beautiful, poor and happy.
Until one day, war broke out.

They are the most ordinary ordinary people who just want to live. They don't know anything about communism or democracy. They don't want to be in the army, and they don't want glory. However, in order to save his younger brother, he became a soldier and went to the battlefield in a confused way. In order to be able to send his younger brother back to carry out dangerous tasks at the risk of his life, he gained promotion and some powers.
The fiancée who stayed in her hometown was identified as a Communist because she received food from the North Korean government and was about to be executed by the South Korean government. Although the brothers rushed to rescue her, they were not saved.
The country that he and his brother were fighting for not only killed her, but slandered her. However, after going through untold hardships to get the battle medal, his leader not only refused to let his younger brother go back, but even ordered him to be burned to death.
After the person he loved was killed by his own country, the elder brother was disheartened and was captured to defect to North Korea.

In the past story, the younger brother escaped from death, but he still returned to the battlefield to find his elder brother and persuade him to go back to South Korea. The crazy brother was red-eyed in the war, and there is no turning back.
