Summary:

The cruelties of war reach their limit in TAEGUKGI: The Brotherhood of War!

The full impact of brotherly love is shown in this touching Korean blockbuster that teams up superstars Jang Dong Gun and Won Bin. Its tale revolves around two brothers who are enlisted in the army by force during the outbreak of the Korean War in the 50's. Jang Dong Gun makes every effort to excel in his duties in order to achieve an early release from the military services for his younger brother (Won Bin). Unaware of his older brother's good intentions, the misunderstandings between the two involuntary soldiers keep on accumulating until the younger brother unintentionally comes across an un-posted letter to his family and makes a fateful decision ...

Breaking a new record in the history of Korean movies, TAEGUKGI devoured a production cost of $12.8 million. However, the expenses seem to have paid off well as it continued to become a weeklong nationwide success selling no less than two million tickets in merely five days.

What I Think:

I watched this with absolutely no idea about the Korean War; the fact that 2 of my favorite Korean actors, Jang Dong Gun and Won Bin are in it, was already something. They did not fail me; they both gave the performance of the careers here. I have to say Won Bin registers so good on-screen! He looks mighty fine in Taekgukgi!

I like the opening scenes where they were just having a good time with their family down the river and Jang Dong Gun looking forward to getting married to the woman he loves so much.

Taegukgi is a really really great movie, It made me laugh with so much happiness, made me cry with so much anguish. I thought Won Bin was going to marry his older brother’s fiancée when he died. That is my screwed up idea! Hahaha that’s too twisted! There was so much sadness and tears and blood in the war scenes but you can feel the great love the brothers have for each other.

I watched this movie only last Christmas, well what can I say war movies for Christmas, weird ol’ me. It is the only Korean movie that I got my entire family watching with me…if that’s an indication, this movie must be good. This movie should win at the Oscars!

Shinhwa's Lee Minwoo and popular actress Shin Ae were spotted enjoying a friendly birthday party together. Before this even there had been many rumors about the two being a couple, but neither had even confirmed nor denied the rumors. The two were seen enjoying Shin Ae's 24th birthday party in Seoul's Apgujeong from 10 pm on March 12th.

Minwoo held the party a day early as Shin Ae's birthday isn't until the 13th, and other Shinhwa members also participated in the day-early party.

According to people who saw them together, Minwoo and Shin Ae appeared to be long-time sweethearts and the two of them looked very comfortable enjoying drinks and joking with each other.

Having enjoyed a friendly relationship for over a year, Minwoo and Shin Ae have occasionally been spotted together by their fans and are a casual entertainment world couple.

The two appear to be wearing couple rings which makes it apparent that they must both be in relationships. On top of this, a photo has been widely posted on the internet of the two of them with their arms around each other, which started a lot of talk among their fans.

Shin Ae also visited Shinhwa at the ski resort in Kangwon province in January this year during their Winter Story events. At this time she was seen enoying a snowy date.

Minwoo is planning to release his 2nd solo album simultaneously in Korean and Japan in June, and is also preparing for solo concerts in Japan soon after.
