Office worker Kim Yumi (Kim Go Eun) has suffered a sad and painful breakup that leaves her “love cells” comatose. While the rest of the cells in her body do what they can to revive the injured cells, none of their efforts to revive the love cells work. This leads Yumi to live with a heavy heart, grinding her way through a dull existence with no prospect of romance on the horizon. But an unlikely lifeline may be ahead for both Yumi and her sad love cells when she meets Gu Wung (Ahn Bo Hyun).

In 1950 South Korea, as the Korean War rages, the allied military devises a desperate strategy to recapture the port of Incheon by creating a diversion. They send 772 young, inexperienced soldiers, including private Choi Sung Pil (Choi Min Ho) and led by commander Lee Myung Joon (Kim Myung Min), on a seemingly suicidal mission to Jansari beach. Critically underequipped with minimal weapons, ammunition, and supplies, the raw recruits face overwhelming odds against North Korean forces. American reporter Maggie Higgins (Megan Fox) attempts to draw international attention to their perilous situation, racing against time to potentially save these young soldiers from certain destruction. This is a 2019 South Korean war movie based on a true story, directed by Kwak Kyung Taek and Kim Tae Hoon.
