I saw the movie, and thought it was really good. All war movies seem to be sad, though, and this one is included.

Um, I think my parents saw it. XD I remember because they usually watch Korean history dramas, or B grade romance ones.

XD It's definately not a B-grade movie. It was the second highest grossing film in korea.

Taegukgi is one of my favorite movies of all time. It has incredible cinematography, a deeply moving story, and some of the most visceral war scenes that I have ever witnessed on film. Definitely a movie I would recommend without reservation to anyone who is old enough to see it and can stomach the bloodshed. The pathos and drama are intense.

It also features my favorite Korean actor - Jang Dong-gun. His performance here was spectacular. If you like his acting, also try Nowhere to Hide and Friend.

"But even as Josue and Caleb declared that the Land of Promise was good and fair, and that the possession of it would be easy and pleasant; so the Holy Spirit, speaking by all the Saints, and our Blessed Lord Himself assure us that a devout life is a lovely, a pleasant, and a happy life." - from An Introduction to the Devout Life, by St. Francis de Sales

No no, I meant they usually watch B-grade dramas, not that Taeguki was. They usually don't watch war movies.
