Scout Hero (2024)

FIGHTING FOR PEACE

One of the most beautiful war dramas about the topic of the war against USA aggressors, for the first time it has a profile that is even different from the previous ones. It is highlighted that the young boys not only fought in the Chinese places on the border, before going to Korea, but that among the ranks there were young people from the areas inhabited by Chinese Korean ethnic minority, such as Yanbian. In an excellent glimpse of war and friendship, there are scenes on both sides and dialogue in Korean, with differences between Pyongyang and Seoul.
The love story is not invasive, with the right chemistry.
The narrative is intense, softened by the moments of friendship between the companions and the character of Liang Chen, between seriousness and irony. The main leads, Luo Jin and Ma Sichun, are excellent, but the entire cast is to be praised. Yang Fan particularly stands out in the role of South Korean commander Bai Chang Hao.
Note that Korean is recognized as being spoken particularly in the north, with influences from dialects in Chinese areas.
Each character has enormous development, and they grow up warmly in you, no one is detestable (apart from the USA evil aggressors).
Special mention to the scene of "you barbaric people, asking women to relieve themselves in public", where the imperialist and Western rhetoric totally collapsed.
Excellent representation of all the battles, patriotic feelings, and above all, the vile reality of the USA.
