Mind you, they probably can’t afford the electric bill, so maybe that’s an accurate depiction? Yeah, we’re not saying all commies are like this, but they do all seem to work in underground bunkers. Whoah, we’re back to the cold war! But just to play it on the safe side, he’s planning a military coup to take over a nuclear missile. Yes, she’s the glider pilot from the start, how weird is that? But hang on, wasn’t there something about returning to a base in the title? (At least in the original title, that is…)Ĭut to North Korea, and a menacing looking general mercilessly blowing some guys brains out. Much of the first half is played like a romantic comedy, with Jung wooing love interest Technical Sergeant Yoo Se-Young (Shin Se-kyung, Hindsight, Acoustic). But we know better, right? (Hello, real world? Anyone?) Then there’s former top gun Major Yi Cheoul-Hee (Yoo Jun-sang, Tell Me Something, Moss, The Day He Arrives, Ha Ha Ha), who for some reason thinks Jung is a waste of space. Jung soon starts ingratiating himself with his new colleagues, including squad leader and single father Park Dae-seo (Kim Sung-soo, The Red Shoes, Hellcats, The Sweet Sex and Love), who might as well have ‘dead meat’ tattooed on his forehead, and Yu-jin (Lee Ha-na, Dance of Time, Le Grand Chef) who has a crush on Park. (Shockingly, the Republic of Korea Air Force is alleged to have been heavily involved in supporting the filming – do they really see this as recruitment material?) At least you’d think so, wouldn’t you? Instead there’s just as much messing around in the real armed forces. Time for our cocky jock to mount a motorcycle and race a glider to his next destination, the 21st Fighter Wing, where Jung will learn some discipline. Rain ( I’m A Cyborg But That’s Okay, Ninja Assassin, Speed Racer) plays the arrogant Jung Tae-Yoon, drummed out of elite Black Eagles flying squad for pulling a stunt so stupid in the real world he’d have been court-martialled.īut hey, he made a girls skirt fly up! How cool is that? And we’re not even into the opening credits yet. Right from the outset director Kim Dong-Won let’s you know what to expect. Rain’s career continues to nose dive with another poor choice – those hoping for at least a ‘guilty pleasure’ should look away now…
