Several soldiers in the movie "Common Security Zone" have a great desire to achieve reunification. They used their actions and even sacrificed their precious lives to take a significant step for the reunification of the country. Actions to achieve national unity and stability of people's lives often yield more than one person. They've tried their best to get what they want, taking that small step forward that not everyone dares to take. After countless wars, although North Korea and South Korea are now divided into two different countries, they live together peacefully and unified, and they are friendly to each other. There is no war, and the people live comfortably and happily. This is the life that the people have always longed for. Why do we have to destroy the life we ​​have achieved after such an difficult war?
