Straits of Chosun

Seong-gi (Nam Seung-min) is back home and bowing his head in front of the photo of his older brother Seong-cheon, who died while fighting in the war. The father is angered at his younger son, who chose to run away from home when his parents opposed the girl he was seeing. He takes it out on his wife and this upsets his younger sister Cheong-ja (Kim Shin-jae). Seong-gi had moved in with Geum-sook (Moon Ye-bong) but when he hears about his brother’s death, he leaves her without knowing that she is pregnant with his child. Seong-gi goes to his uncle (Dok Eun-gi) who had been watching after him until then and tells him that he will volunteer to serve in the army, to follow his brother’s footsteps. —KMDb
