juz watched w.elco.m.e to d0n.gma.kgol. nice touchin show!the first part was quite funny.. but the 2nd part was total opp. so sad. watchin it juz made me hate the u..s a.rm.y to the max! the show was abt sol.di.ers frm nrth,u..s n so.u.th ko.r meetin in a peaceful vi.llage durin the kor w.a..r.so at first.. they detested each other but slowly manage to find a way to live together. in the end.. they even co-op to help protect the villa.ge n hence, the sad ending.haix.

fou.nd this in it's so.o.mpi th.read:

"For the people of the village, the newcomers are viewed simply as people "wearing a round gourd and holding long sticks" and who "look irritated a lot," because they have never seen a gun nor military helmet. When the soldiers explain war has broken out across the Kore.a.n Pen.insula, the villages ask with surprise, "Who invaded? The Jap or Chin?"

This is an amusing prologue to a film that portrays the tragedy and absurdity of w.ar."

"Park, a veteran of television commercials, adds artistry, fantasy and imagination to the original story. Contrasted with the tranquil Dongmakgol, where butterflies fly among wild flowers and children play a wide grassy fields, the w.ar feels more tragic.

The fable-like film has two scenes that rank among the greatest in recent films: Popcorn falling like a snow after a grenade explodes in the village's corn storehouse. The other impressive scene is of the indiscriminate aerial bombing of a snow-covered hill as if a fireworks."
-the whole bu.tterfly thingy.. makes the show quite fa.iry tal.e lyk.. wouldnt think that it was a w.a..r related mo.v.ie.
