The War


What was the war, where Joon-ah got blind? I don't know exactly, but could it be war in Vietnam, where South Korean troops were fighting alongside US and South Vietnamese troops? I've noticed that enemies had AK types and also South Korean used US helicopters.

It was the Vietnamese War. I know because I was one of the soldiers sent to Vietnam. The scene at the station(Chungryang-ri Station, about one hour east of Seoul,) where Joo-hee said her boyfriend's name numerous times to get his attention was eerily familiar to me, because the station was the only one where the military allowed the soldiers to talk to their relatives and friends (for about 15 minutes.)

I knew it couldn't be the Korean war, that would be too far back for the ages of the characters. ;)

Thank you. I was wondering about that too.
