TAEGUGKI
Starring:
(Jang Dong Gun)
(Won Bin) Daymm! he absolutely looks hot here!
(Lee Eun Joo)
Summary:
The cruelties of war reach their limit in TAEGUKGI: The Brotherhood of War!
The full impact of brotherly love is shown in this touching Korean blockbuster that teams up superstars Jang Dong Gun and Won Bin. Its tale revolves around two brothers who are enlisted in the army by force during the outbreak of the Korean War in the 50's. Jang Dong Gun makes every effort to excel in his duties in order to achieve an early release from the military services for his younger brother (Won Bin). Unaware of his older brother's good intentions, the misunderstandings between the two involuntary soldiers keep on accumulating until the younger brother unintentionally comes across an un-posted letter to his family and makes a fateful decision ...
Breaking a new record in the history of Korean movies, TAEGUKGI devoured a production cost of $12.8 million. However, the expenses seem to have paid off well as it continued to become a weeklong nationwide success selling no less than two million tickets in merely five days.

What I Think:
I watched this with absolutely no idea about the Korean War; the fact that 2 of my favorite Korean actors, Jang Dong Gun and Won Bin are in it, was already something. They did not fail me; they both gave the performance of the careers here. I have to say Won Bin registers so good on-screen! He looks mighty fine in Taekgukgi!
I like the opening scenes where they were just having a good time with their family down the river and Jang Dong Gun looking forward to getting married to the woman he loves so much.
Taegukgi is a really really great movie, It made me laugh with so much happiness, made me cry with so much anguish. I thought Won Bin was going to marry his older brother’s fiancée when he died. That is my screwed up idea! Hahaha that’s too twisted! There was so much sadness and tears and blood in the war scenes but you can feel the great love the brothers have for each other.
I watched this movie only last february 8, well what can I say war movies for 2nd yr students, weird ol’ me. It is the only Korean movie that I got my classmates watching with me…if that’s an indication, this movie must be good. This movie should win at the Oscars!
