Comrades

A gripping drama of friendship and bravery, Comrades is the story of a band of brothers during the Korean War. The remnants of a North Korean squad, sent on a desperate mission into enemy territory, are forced to face their worst fears as the opposing side closes in. Lee Hyun Joong is a South Korean squad commander made cynical by the ongoing war. He only cares about his men, who he is intensely devoted to protecting, and ending the war as fast as possible—even if it means taking on dangerous missions. The South Korean Army has just pushed the Northern Communist forces back across the 38th parallel, and Hyun Joong is ordered to move forward and spearhead an offensive movement across enemy lines. The advance is too rapid and ill-prepared, however, and soon they are trapped in enemy territory without backup. Meanwhile, Hyun Joong glimpses Lee Soo Kyung on the battlefield, his former love who is now a lieutenant in the North Korean Army.
