A beautiful love tale
Introduction
Things have been hectic as North and South Korea are heading for unification. Airways and waterways have opened up and people are requested to move freely. Soldiers from both north and south have been brought in one point and a peaceful city in DMZ has been established -Pyeonghwa Metropolitan. Posing as a symbol of unification this place is where two Koreas have been cohabiting.
Review
In the process of celebrating such a historic event. A global band FITA has been invited to perform. Llyod, the team star member, gets embroiled in the scandal as he goes out to buy a weapon. He crosses paths with the leader of the unified military team Young Ok. Though love is not on the card every time he sees her, he worries about her.
It is the story of Korea where both north and south are heading for unification. Lloyd gets caught under the compromising condition of buying weapons and Young Ok gets the chance to train him. Young Ok who had been living a happy life found herself in a military unit when her military general and professor's mother got framed in a political conspiracy. Burdened by the wrong past she is working hard to hold her position as her nightmare keeps on coming. Meeting Llyod seems like an external world in her scheduled life.
After the success of Crash Landing On You, stories reflecting the lives of two sides of Korea are bound to set the expectation bar high. Llyod is childish and immature. His popularity and characteristics draw inspiration from a multitude of idol audiences through Korean dramas. Lack of knowledge about the real world makes him a little immature. Young Ok, on the contrary always puts up with a tough face but inside she is more child than Lloyd. The scene where she trusts those people selling fake medicines reveals the child she has been.
Kim Min Seok in the shoes of idol Lloyd is smooth like silk. He summons an inner child who struggles to adjust to the real world as they lack social skills. Nam Gyu Ri as Young Ok is warm and strong at the same time. She does not hesitate in the face of bullets and always puts her team first. So Ra is an appropriate choice. She channels an inner strength that is necessary for a soldier. The chemistry between leads is the essence of the story.
Conclusion
The journey of Koreans coming from two different parts of Korea always piques interest. Love amid war is something the audience enjoys. And here the leads encapsulate a tale that crosses fire and has been healing their hearts in the process. It is not just a war or love story but more than that.
