Small peninsula, big world

The Korean peninsula should be the most mysterious area on the planet. The small peninsula is like a mirror reflecting the world. The 38th parallel is where great power politics confronts and competes, where ideology confronts and penetrates, and where national feelings are intertwined and separated.

Political purges, Eagle coup; the theft of the US military, assassination of Kim San; soldiers in power, the celestial rebellion; nuclear launch of the DPRK, interception by the United States and Japan... The subject matter is sensitive, the brain hole is clear, and the plot is explosive, it's really a climax again and again. The literary drama is profound and humorous, and the national love and ridicule are interspersed when the doomsday is almost over; What is especially rare is that in this film, although the Celestial Dynasty is suspected of being hacked to support the North Korean nuclear program, it has created a strong, pragmatic and slightly human diplomat of the great power.

This film once again refreshed my understanding of Korean commercial films, equal to or even surpassing the level of top Hollywood commercial films. Combined with "Namhan Mountain City" and "Best Debater", it can be said that the Asian movies in recent years should be dominated by India and South Korea.
