The definitive Korean war film

This is the first ever piece of korean media that I have watched. My interest in the korean war and lack of western movies covering the subject led me to find this film and give it a chance, and I am glad that I did.

The production values are astonishing, the costumes, the locations, everything makes you feel lmmersed into the conflict and unable to look away.

The movie is not preachy at all, in fact it treats both sides, north and south with respect and integrity, showcasing different stories and stakes riding into the conflict of the korean war. The revelation of the sniper's identity in the end was masterfully done, as well as the camera zooming out after the stalemate is declared and the war "ends".

A must watch for any fan of korean content, history, and especially both.
