Korean War retold in two new series

Sixty years have passed since the nightmare that was the Korean War broke out. 

Since the war, films, documentaries and miniseries have done their best to serve as a reminder of the war that forever changed the history of this nation.

“TaeGukGi: Brotherhood of War” (2003) drew millions to the movie theater with its melodramatic story of two siblings whose love for one another went beyond enemy lines. 

“Welcome to Dongmakgol” (2005) portrayed the tragedy of war invading the lives of a village of pure-hearted civilians. 

With such stellar blockbusters having set a precedent, this year’s retellings of the civil-turned-proxy war faces several challenges. 

MBC spent 13 billion won to create “Road No. 1,” a drama that features intense battle scenes from the Korean War. LOGOS FILM
