It all boils down to "If you kill in war, you're still a criminal."
The men who were ordered by their superiors and the country to rape, torture and kill innocent civilians in China (all in the name of the country!) returned like zombies and continued to loot and rape their citizens because they could not differentiate anymore between the reality and war-zone. And how could they? The country turned them into monsters and they could never be normal human beings again.
In this movie we get two stories - one is of a nameless woman (and she is probably nameless on purpose - to show that she was just one more victim in the sea of others) and the other is of Ohira, a war veteran who fought proudly for his country, killed, raped and now returned to his family a hero - but still continued to rape and kill, this time Japanese women. Their stories intertwine and show how both those who stayed home and went to war ended up victims. Nobody could escape the war but the biggest victims were the innocent civilians.
Very tragic and heart-breaking. Everyone is a victim in war. I hope the world will never have to experience anything like this again. It just proves that humans are the cruelest and self-destructing animals ever.

-Amazing friendships (seriously the best part-even if you're not into friendship dramas) - There is no shortage of dynamic, complex characters that make you fall in love with each and every one of them (I personally love shows with a lot of characters-especially agreeable, lovable, complex ones) and when you're finished your heart just feels so full
-ISSEI IS MY FAVORITE HUMAN BEING
-Amazing romance (another one that will make your heart feel all the feelings and go on a romance roller coaster- After I finished, I felt like I went on an adventure and grew alongside the characters because there is SOO much development in this)
-Just in general a fantastic story... Good Morning Call takes you on this group of students contemporary adventures and travels, trials and heartbreaks and it's adorablelelelelelele
-SOOOOO CUTTTEEEE ANDD FUNNNYY
-The cast to suuper good, like I said before, they really make you feel all the feels (happy, sad/heartbreak-y, angry [in a good way], second-hand cringe, hysterical, proud of your little grown up fetuses, jealous, and any other emotion you could ever think of)
-Lots of giggly moments
-Low key might be re-watching it while writing this review right now (speaking of which, if anyone knows where I can find/buy a hard copy of this (DVD), please let me know!)
-9.5 RECOMMEND to anyone, EsPeCiAlLy noobs, and lovers of romance and friendship dramas, and people who enjoy following many characters

It did not waste any screen time being overly dramatic nor display nonsense script and unnecessary acts. Every facial and body expression from that little twitch of the male protagonist's finger to his wrinkled eyebrows are all on point and entice a great sense of heightened euphoria within me. It is very seldom to see a drama/flick that does not romanticizes the idea of "romance" itself and overlooks the quality of the story in the process. This drama makes a good use of every seconds running to showcase everything patiently in a creative way of story unfolding; being sensitive in every angle possible. The connections, the behaviors, the relationships, and even the psychology of everything is well crafted.
Even the art--Xu Xu's comics is very creative and warm. It does not feel out of place in the overall visual nor in the very story. Every puzzle fits perfectly like they should be there because they must be. Amazing mind is what the mastermind of the story have.
I might as well hunt for the novel itself.
Can't get enough of the mysteries and warm and sincere display of affection.

Anyways, after watching it, I was not disappointed. It certainly deserved the awards, IMO. A few things you might want to know before starting the drama. It is VERY low on romance. But it still has some, which is nice. It is about insurance fraud, which can seem a bit boring. But the show makes up for it by giving you a bunch of characters you will fall in love with. I think most of us here already know this, but in case you are new to the Korean Drama World then I feel I must tell you the word Hyung is VERY important in this drama. It means older brother. It is hard to explain but it is also like a term of endearment. So, yeah, that is all I will say about that matter.
I watched this on viki. It is not currently availabe on dramafever.

For me , I really loved the journey through out the drama , it contains a lot of feeling I found myself crying for some characters and getting angry upon another . I loved the leads , their acting was so convincing and great . The drama portrayed a lot of real issues , I saw different side of Korean Law .
The music was ammmmmmazing , I loved the opening <3
Bae Soo Bin was just amazing , I hated him at times and laughed at sometimes
So I will not say that the drama was bad cuz the ending was not what I was expecting , but I will recommend because of the story and the great acting , the ending is up to u ( that is what I decided for myself cuz I felt that I was fooled truly )
For me to re-watchI don't think so to be honset
So have a great time watching

This is an absolutely stunning wonderful beautiful movie. I was interested in the movie due to the "intriguing" title which made it sound like a zombie film. Never would I know that the scary sounding title was such a beautiful line before watching the movie. After watching the movie, to me, this line encompasses more emotions than "I love you", "I need you", or any single sentence which expresses emotions. It left a very deep impression in me and just for this, the movie has succeeded.The movie has a sad ending which is not a spoiler because it is a fact that the female lead is going to die soon. It was a fact that I was constantly reminded over and over again in the course of the movie that there was not going to be any miracle. Despite knowing that the female lead was going to die, I gradually became attached to her role and started wishing for her not to die, just like the male lead. The movie did a great job in allowing the audience to like her character in a gradual manner. All these feelings were required for the twist in the movie to be impactful. It drove a message which was mentioned before across which everyone had forgotten including the male lead and ourselves.
It made me reflect upon my attitude towards life. It made me think about my relationship with other people. It made me love life more.
The main actors are young but well suited for the roles. The male lead (Kitamura Takumi) had a beautiful soothing voice. It was a joy hearing him speak. The female lead (Hamabe Minami) might be 'irritating' the male lead all the time but she never once came across as 'annoying' to me. I love the relationship between the female lead and male lead. I would not classify it as pure friendship or love. Was it budding love? Was it just two humans coming close together? It would be too stereotypical to categorise their relationship into anything that we have known. And I shall brood over it myself. I have thought about it so much that I read the book. The book did make the relationship seem more obvious, and it described some of the thought processes better as well. It is worth reading the book for sure.
I had rewatched the movie twice and read the book once in a span of a week. It made me experience withdrawal effects after finishing the movie which was very rare. The second time I rewatched it, it felt slightly different from the first time I watched it. Absolutely amazing movie.

- This drama has so many things to offer to the viewers, and amongst all those things, one is the heartwarming friendship. This drama has one of the most wonderful portrayal of frienships that I've seen, and not just between the prisonmates. They might be at that place for different reasons, but they learn to lean on, rely and look out for each other.
- One of the most enticing things to look forward to in dramas (I guess this comes under the 'friendship' point mentioned above, but I have to mention this separately)- Bromance! This drama has plenty of it. Not just between the two 'main' characters, but between every single character in the drama.The bromance moments aren't just that'll make you laugh, although those are present. But also, there are bromance moments that'll make your heart feel like it's brimming over with feels.
- This drama has some serious #SQUAD-GOALS. The 2B6 wing is freaking awesome!!
- The comedy in the drama is top-notch. It's more subtle in it's approach, but that doesn't negate it's effect. Infact that fact alone makes those comic scene laugh-out-loud worthy. Those humour scenes mostly result from Je Hyeok's various interactions in prison. As he himself likes to put it, he's a bit 'stupid' when it comes to things other than baseball, which leads to some hilarious situations. Ofcourse, other character too, more than contribute the comedy in the drama.
- This drama is about each and every character, not just the main lead(s). It focuses on every single character, whether they are inmates, correction officers, or their families. And that's what makes the viewers fall in love with the characters here. It's hard to find a drama where you love (almost) all the charaters, whether they have minor or major role. I loved so many characters here, I think it's even hard to pick a favorite. But Lieutenant Paeng does come really close.
- Every character has a story. Of who they are. Of how they got here. Of what they dream of. Of what are their hopes for the future. Their story gives us insight into their personalities, and is one of the many things, that makes the viewer close to them.
- Aside from the individual acting of all the actors, which ofcourse is truly commendable, the chemistry between the characters here is crazy good! From Je Hyeok & Joon Ho, Joon Ho & his brother to Looney & Kaist, every character interaction will have you craving for more!
- For the romance lovers, there is romance. It's a bit subtle and can't be considered a main genre. But it is a sub-genre, and it's more than enough, believe me.
- Let's be honest for a second, and admit that there's a lot of prejudice attached with the word 'prison' alone. And there's a reaso for it. Whether they are rightly or wrongly convicted, for the law, and henceforth for the 'general public' they're still criminals, whatever their crimes may be. Hence the prejudice. But in this drama, the writer tries, and is successful, in breaking our preconceptions about those matters. The writer, through this beautiful drama, stresses on the fact that the convicts are, before anything else, human. And just like everyone else, they are also trying to live their life. Some are trying to make the best of their situations, trying to learn from their past mistakes, and are hoping for a better future. At the same time, there are also those who have despaired, and given up on their future. The writer beautifully captures both these types of inmates,
- Have to mention the OST, ofcourse. The songs were good and fitting with the series. I specially liked the songs the 'theme song' "OK', ", 'Bravo My Life' by Eric Nam, Would Be Better' by Heize & 'Like A Dream' by Park Boram
- If you're hesitating because of the run-time of the episode, or if by any chance, you find the first few episodes 'slow', my advice for you would be to keep watching. With this drama, you just need to find your rhythm and pretty soon you won't even notice how long the episodes are. Of course, you could always love the drama right from the start!
Well, that's about it for the review. I hope you give this one a chance, because otherwise you'll be missing out on a wonderful drama.
Happy Watching!!
