Crime films usually throw a suspense first and use the shortest time to attract the audience's attention. The characteristic of Korean films is that the scale is well controlled, not exaggerated, not showy, and not anticlimactic. In the process of advancing the whole plot, the human nature and emotional changes of the main characters have also changed very well. Once the actors exert too much force on many details, the effect will be unsatisfactory. The expression of Korean movies in extreme states is more restrained. Movies are one of them. An ambitious anchor, faced with an opportunity that can be popular all over the country, I believe that many people will have the same thoughts and actions as him, but when he faces the threat of criminals' life, the executive's knife in the back, and the deception of government personnel , he was so helpless and helpless. From the beginning to the end, the plot is set for him to be patient, but the result of forbearance is that he has to accept the reality, take a vivid political lesson, and then die without love. It may be a bit cruel, but it is very immersive, and it is also in line with the reality. This arrangement is very clever and impressive.

The radio host Yin Yinghua just went through a divorce and demotion not long ago. He wanted to be reinstated and take the top job. He ushered in a turning point in his career. In front of him was an exclusive terrorist attack news. Faced with the test of human nature, he decided to choose In order to give up calling the police, prepare a live call for the criminals. Neither the supervisor nor the director could resist the temptation of the ratings, so they cooperated fully with the live broadcast, and readily paid the 2,179,245,000 won that the criminals demanded for their appearance. The live broadcast officially started. The criminal first said his name, Park Lugui. He participated in the construction of the bombed bridge for 30 years. At that time, he was a cement worker, and he participated in the restoration project the year before. Because an international conference wanted to show the national image, the project was required to work overtime. Done quickly. The rush to work meant danger. Three workers fell into the water, but the police and rescuers were too late to arrive, and the three died.

Park Lu-kyu asked the president of the line to apologize to the dead workers in front of the national audience. Yin Ying-hwa rejected this unreasonable request, but did not want Park Lu-kyu to threaten that he still had a bomb in his hand. Yin Ying-hwa's receiving earphone was converted into a miniature bomb, and his life was threatened. Then there was a second explosion on the bridge, and the citizens trapped in the middle became Park Rugui's bargaining chip to threaten the government, but the anti-terrorism center would not let the president come forward, and the police chief came to come forward. In fact, this has already sent a signal that the government will never compromise on crime, and the country's stability will be greatly challenged and impacted once the precedent is set. And Yin Yinghua's supervisor kept emphasizing this tone to him, explaining that the supervisor knew what was important and what the TV station had to do was to assist the government and guide public opinion in a positive way.

Perhaps the death of the minister gave Yin Yinghua too much stimulation. When the supervisor asked Yin Yinghua to declare war on terrorists on behalf of the government, he hesitated. Originally, as long as he did what he did, the government would have no reason to apologize if Park Ru-kyu killed another person, and the arrest was justifiable, and the incident ended here. However, his ex-wife is in the hostage, and he may die at any time. He dares not gamble, and he naively thinks that as long as the president apologizes, it will be over. A serious lack of political awareness is the root of his failure. Yin Yinghua did not follow the supervisor's request, and was betrayed by the supervisor when he changed hands. The supervisor understood the situation very well. Since you can't be the speaker, you have to be a scapegoat.

After several times of lobbying to rescue the hostages, Park Ru-kyu agreed to let the woman and child go, but the bridge collapsed and it was too late. The arrests that the police thought were a sure win was exchanged for Park Ru-kyu to blow up the building, and the collapsed building slammed directly into the TV station. The whole incident needed a scapegoat, and Yin Yinghua became the scapegoat. At this time, he suddenly realized, but he continued to live broadcast to attract criminals. The police confirmed that Park Roo-gyu was dead, so the culprit was his son, who was shot dead by the police during the fight with Yoon Young-hwa. Seeing that his beloved was dead, the police came to arrest him immediately, and the lifeless Yin Yinghua pressed the last bomb switch and coexisted with the TV station. This ending is in line with the real hypothesis. Anyone who is in Yin Yinghua's state may choose to do this.
