This program has received production support from Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA).
This drama spans the first year of the Korean War,
which broke out on June 25, 1950 and raged for three years.
The events on June 25 have been dramatically recreated,
and do not reflect any actual individuals or troops.
A time when nobody had ever seen a tank before,
peaceful villages were invaded.
Through the scars of this tragic war,
let us strive never to have such pain
again on our land.
To those who sacrificed their lives without hesitation,
selflessly for our motherland,
to all the countless souls,
we dedicate this drama.
This war is at a cease fire.
It hasn't ended yet.
Episode 1
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I'm so late.
Actually, I was too scared to come.
I was afraid if I saw you, I'd cry like a baby, so I couldn't come.
I want to believe that you're still alive.
1948 Jiri Mountain Munsu-gol Battle.
Before war broke out on June 25, at Jiri Mountain,
battles were waged between hidden North Korean guerillas and the South Korean Army.
- What about the reinforcements? - Communications have been cut off.
It has already been 30 minutes. I don't think they're coming to assist.
We're doing the "wild boar hunt"
What?
So who'll be the "wild boar"?
I will.
Take off your clothes.
When they follow the "wild boar", wait quietly in the bushes.
Then start capturing your prey.
Attack!
Over there!
The reinforcements are here!
Don't give up!
We are out of ammunition.
Black Kite, Black Kite!
This is Owl. Do you read, Black Kite!
Owl, Owl, what is your location?
It's got to be large scale bombing!
If we're going to die anyway, we all die together.
Coordinates!
Call out the coordinates!
Black Kite! Black Kite!
This is Owl.
Location 0207, bomb the area immediately! Bomb immediately!
Are you saying we should all die?
Whether we live or die is not up to me.
Prepare to fight!
ATTACK!
Achieve victory!
Owl, Owl, This is Black Kite, do you read?
Commando unit, report immediately.
I repeat, Commando Unit, report immediately!
Unni, wait for me!
Su Hee, hurry up.
Let's go.
Hey, hurry up!
Come here!
Swear you'll never do it again and beg for mercy!
I said beg!
What are you doing?
What kind of deadly sin did he commit that he needs to beg forgiveness?
I'm going to still continue to draw.
I like the young miss.
You stupid, dirty bastard!
From now on, you don't have to sneak around for a peek anymore.
You'll continue to draw, right?
Then call me like this. "Su Yeon."
Not "young miss", but "Su Yeon". Like that.
Su Yeon.
Wait.
- Let's see. - Wait.
Wait.
Stop. Stop.
Lee Jang Woo!
Lee Jang Woo, why you...!
Come here right now!
- Come over here. - Come here!
You come here!
Come here right now!
I'm telling you to come over here!
Jang Woo!
I love you!
What?
I love you!
What?
I said I love you!
Are you all right?
Get out of there now.
What?
I love you.
You. Is this all you think about every day?
No.
Just... when I start to draw... my hands automatically...
Is this your dream?
I'm asking, is this your dream?
Don't get mad.
It's scary.
Answer me.
Your dream.
Eternally...
Drawing... one person.
That's my dream.
Even if that person...
...isn't beside you?
Even then... I'm going to draw.
Your face. Your figure. Only.
Lee Jang Woo and Kim Su Yeon's...
Eternal...
Love...
Promise.
Jang Woo! Jang Woo!
Jang Woo!
Don't go!
You said you want to be a doctor.
I'll earn your tuition.
Don't worry about anything and just study.
Don't go!
How can you hold a rifle with this hand?
I'm going to quit my studies.
So don't go to Jiri Mountain.
So the money you earn by killing people,
I'm supposed to use it to study on how to save people?
I don't want it!
Why is the smart, young miss of the house more short-sighted than the servant boy?
You're the smart one!
And I'm no longer the owner's daughter.
So, you do something you want to do.
You wanted to study art and become an artist.
Don't be stupid and give that up because of me!
Su Yeon.
What I want to do is exactly this.
Living for you.
If it's for me, stay by my side.
Don't go anywhere.
Su Yeon.
About the time this blooms into a flower, I'll be back.
After that... forever... I'll be by your side.
Su Yeon.
Communications Officer.
Answer me.
Sang Guk!
If you're alive, answer me!
Yeongchon Clinic
I'm here to pick up some medicine.
I've never seen you before.
Yes.
I'm 1st Battalion, 2nd Company...
You'll scare the baby.
I'm 1st Platoon Leader Second Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho.
The baby is quite pretty.
The baby's mother often leaves him here.
This kid, maybe it's because I delivered him,
As soon as he latches onto me, he falls asleep.
Ah, I see.
Should we look for it?
I wonder where it is.
Is it here?
One!
Two!
One!
Two!
One!
Two!
One!
Two!
One!
Two!
One! Two!
All right! Our platoon won!
Hey, Shin Tae Ho!
Are you sure you're an officer of the army?
You're really a sneaky fox, aren't you?
Then 2nd Platoon is buying the drinks!
Drink it all the way down.
If it weren't for 2nd Company, how could we have finished our farming?
Sunbae-nim. If you're feeling cheated, wanna try a horseback battle?
Fine!
The horseback battle will be this platoon's!
CHARGE!
Wait, over there. The woman doctor is passing by. Look.
I won't be tricked!
I'm not tricking you. Look over there.
Jang Woo.
Are you really dead?
I'll go to you.
If you can't come to me.
Jang Woo.
2 Years Later
Mom, isn't Unni pretty?
This Sunday is Unni's wedding.
It would have been so nice if you and Dad were still alive.
But don't worry too much.
She's marrying a really amazing guy.
He's a Second Lieutenant in the army, and he's really handsome.
It's true.
If it wasn't for Unni, I would take him.
June 24, 1950
- Lee Jang Woo. - Yes!
So you were the sole survivor of the Mount Jiri Munsu-gol battle.
A while ago, your death was officially recorded, and a notification was even sent.
They must have me confused with someone else.
You can see I'm fine.
Hey, you sure did pile up a lot of achievements.
It says the reds ran away after hearing your name.
And in that initial battle, you even saved an Special Forces officer.
What's your reason for leaving?
To get married.
After you're married, you can still serve in the army.
After all, you've been working out well here,
and Yeongchon is your hometown.
That's where I was a servant with my father. It is not my hometown.
When I get discharged I will take my father and my bride and leave.
Where you lay down your roots, doesn't that make it your hometown?
I received a bonus for risking my life, plus I have a lot of earnings saved up.
With that, I will start a business.
You like being a businessman more than a soldier?
Actually.
I have pain in my hand.
With this hand, I don't think I can hold a gun anymore.
Let's take a look.
It seems that your heart had a harder time than your hand.
Let me look into it and see what I can do.
Prepare for dinner.
Thank you. For understanding.
Yup.
Hey, newlywed.
Look kid...
No matter how busy you are preparing for your wedding,
you need to make sure it goes well tonight.
It's a highly critical mission.
Yes! I know!
Stop smiling so much, flies are going into your mouth.
Go on home.
Let me share a ride with you.
By any chance, did you attend the Army Academy?
I just get that feeling.
Take off!
- Hello, Ahjussi! - Isn't that Jang Woo?
Hello!
Father!
I'm here!
Father!
You're alive?
This is the happiest day. This is unbelievable.
My child.
Father, accept my bow first.
You need to give your formal bow to the master of the house first.
You're here, young master.
Hello.
Greet him formally.
At least you came back alive, so that's good.
Go back with your father.
I'm hungry!
Youngest miss.
They said you were dead.
A letter even came saying you died at Mount Jiri.
I just heard. I didn't know anything about it.
Taking a perfectly healthy man and making a corpse out of him.
It's not much, but here.
It's beef.
Beef?
You must have made a lot of money as a soldier.
I made a lot of money.
But where's Su Yeon...?
Young master, should I go to the clinic?
If someone tells you once, listen.
You're no longer a servant.
When I think about your father, this is nothing.
Taking care of you and the young misses, that is my purpose.
The world has changed! It's changed!
Why are you so foolish?
Jang Woo.
What?
I have told your father many times.
Don't come to this house anymore.
Don't go near Su Yeon either.
I don't like it.
I'll follow everything you said, except regarding Su Yeon.
I'll decide what I do regarding Su Yeon.
What did you say?
My sister is getting married tomorrow.
So just drink a cold glass of water and cool off.
Jang Woo!
This ring is the only possession my mother left behind.
My mother received it from my grandmother.
It's my wedding gift.
I'm sorry, I didn't prepare anything for you.
Will you smile now?
Your smile is the biggest gift to me.
It's finally here tomorrow.
June 25.
The day Shin Tae Ho and Kim Su Yeon becomes a couple.
You can't come by this area tonight.
This is a secret, but they'll be setting up explosives here tonight.
What do you mean explosives?
This is the bridge that village people use every day.
No, they're not going to blow up the bridge,
they're just setting up the explosives in case.
This is so close to the 38th parallel.
If the North happens to come down and attack,
the first thing we need to blow up is this bridge to buy us time.
If they penetrate this area, Seoul becomes vulnerable.
Though, I'm sure that will never happen.
Anyway, I'm saying just rest at home tonight.
My bride-to-be.
Jang Woo?
You...
I told you I'd return when the dandelions bloomed.
See? I'm not dead.
I've returned safe and sound to you!
- Jang Woo. - Let's go.
Wait.
Su Yeon, is this the man you were talking about?
I guess I should properly introduce myself.
I'm 1st Battalion, 2nd Company, 1st Platoon Leader, Second Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho.
I have nothing to say to you.
Let's go.
You were so busy taking down the communists,
As long as we are in uniform, I am your superior.
Please move.
Su Yeon.
Since it will probably make Su Yeon uncomfortable, I'll leave for now.
Get some good rest tonight.
My bride-to-be.
I'm sorry, Su Yeon.
It's my fault.
For what?
Deciding on your own to leave?
Or, are you sorry for dying, then coming back alive?
You could have written at least one letter.
I thought death was my fate.
I barely made it alive.
But I was afraid I was physically damaged.
I couldn't come back crippled and become your burden!
If Mom and Dad were still alive,
on a night like tonight, they would've made such a big deal.
Did you explain to Jang Woo so that he understood?
Tomorrow's your wedding.
You don't think he'll cause trouble, do you?
You know Jang Woo gets hotheaded sometimes!
I'm going over to Hyun Ja to study for a test.
Isn't her house across the bridge?
- Yeah. - You can't.
Don't go tonight.
Why?
If I fail this test, I'll flunk.
Tonight, the soldiers are doing something with the bridge.
- What? - I don't know.
They're installing explosives or something.
Because the 38th parallel is not stable or something.
Did Lieutenant Shin say that?
Yeah.
So just study at home tonight.
Hyun Ja will be waiting for me.
Oh!
You scared me, Oppa!
Oppa!
Tonight, the soldiers are doing something with the bridge.
They're installing explosives or something.
The moment we get there, we separate into two groups.
Yes, I understand.
There must not be any mistakes made in installing the explosives.
Don't worry, Captain, sir!
Did you verify the voltage?
Shin Tae Ho.
Yes.
Where's your mind right now?
I'm sorry.
Until we finish attaching the explosives, be on alert.
And maintain communications with the field.
Yes.
Take off!
Oppa!
Put your hands up or I'll shoot.
Typhoon! (*military code for N. Korean invasion)
Typhoon!
Hey Jang Woo!
Sergeant!
It's Lee Jang Woo!
That's right, I heard you became a First Class Sergeant.
Sergeant Lee!
I'm sure you'll attend and congratulate us?
Since it's such a happy event.
You won't be able to have the wedding.
Now that I've returned.
Actually, I'm glad this happened.
A live opponent is better than a dead one.
Su Yeon is...
My woman.
From the beginning and until the end.
You're much worse than your first impression.
I don't think you suit Su Yeon at all.
Grab my hand!
What is this?
What happened?
It was a surprise attack. They came out of nowhere.
How many?
I don't know.
Find out who and why!
Hey, move it!
Capture at least one alive!
Su Yeon.
Take off!
Move out!
It was a surprise attack! A surprise attack!
They look like southern farmers.
How many captives?
Out of five, two of them are dead and three are injured.
Then, what about the explosives?
I don't think it's possible today.
We'll try again tomorrow night.
Bastards...
How did they know and attack us?
Do you think there's an internal spy?
Did you tell the soldiers this was top secret?
Yes, of course.
I'm sure one of those captured will talk.
You can't come by this area tonight.
This is a secret, but they'll be setting up explosives here tonight.
What do you mean explosives?
Everyone, head to the Yeongchon Clinic!
Stop it now. The soldiers will be here soon.
Su Yeon!
Oppa, you run away.
I haven't done anything wrong.
Get it through your head!
If we get caught here, it's all over!
You bastard!
Su Yeon.
It looks like you two need to clear up a misunderstanding.
I'll leave you two alone.
If anything happens, come to the mountain warehouse.
Has your brother threatened you with anything?
I went to some reading group gatherings with my brother.
At first, I thought they was just regular reading group gatherings.
You couldn't possibly have. The bridge plan...
Su Yeon, did you...
Was everything a lie?
To use me?
Purposely?
- Tell me! - Whatever I tell you,
would you believe me?
I'm here healing my brother's comrade.
Would you believe what I tell you?
There are a list of people captured at the clinic.
Say it.
Park Hyung Suk. Bae Sang Gu.
Kim Ki Chul. Jo Seung Man.
Heo Seong Bok. Kim Su Hyuk.
Kim Su Yeon.
That's it.
What did you just say?
Kim Su Hyuk and who else?
Why exactly?
Why?
Did you ever love me?
June 25, 1950 - 4:00 a.m.
It's the Captain.
All men to return to operation's base immediately!
I repeat, all men are to return to the base of our operations immediately.
We're getting into battle position.
This is 1st Platoon Leader. What shall I do with the situation here?
Forget about them. This is war!
Sam Woo!
What's the situation?
They threw the bomb.
Should we go after them?!
The Captain ordered us to return!
Second Lieutenant!
- Get in the truck! - In the truck!
Wake up.
Move out!
Su Yeon!
Su Yeon.
Every soldier on leave must report to duty immediately.
Hey, what are you doing?
Get on. Get on.
Hurry up. Get on.
What's going on?
Move out!
Every soldier on leave or out must report to duty immediately.
Father!
Oh my goodness!
Young miss!
What happened?
Father, you must go home now.
Go home.
Get on.
It's war.
As long as you wear your uniform,
you're still a soldier.
What about the engineering corp?
It's mad chaos.
Contact the headquarters,
and tell them to install the explosives on the Yeongchon bridge first. Now!
Yes.
It's an attack!
Enemy attack!
Take cover!
Every man take cover!
1st Platoon, return and take cover!
1st Platoon, returning and taking cover!
It appears they've crossed the 38th parallel.
What?
No, we are not at a safe location.
I understand. We'll do our best to hold them off.
Yes.
First Lieutenant!
Yes! Coming!
They're coming from all sides.
Take your men and move over there.
Yes!
- Private! - Yes.
You heard the order! We're moving to that position immediately!
Yes.
Tae Ho,
Yes.
- Cross over and manage 1st Platoon. - Yes.
Private! What are you doing?
Abandon him!
I'm sorry.
I'll just borrow it.
I'm sorry.
Abandon him!
Go first.
Go!
Jong Ki, where are they coming from?
I can't tell.
Captain!
What is that?

Everyone, out of there now!
Get out of there!
Get out!
I finally reunited with you,
but if I have to part with you like this again,
What should I do?
If we can never see each other again,
what will we do then?
It's all my fault.
Get out of there!
Sergeant Lee Jang Woo, you will continue at your current post in 2nd Company, 1st Platoon.
That is an order.
Su Yeon, I don't think I can go with you yet.
Please take care of my father.
There's nobody besides us now in the north.
We are the farthest north.
As soldiers, we couldn't protect you. We're terribly sorry.
Su Yeon, stay alive.
At any cost.
