About the title
This tense spy thriller is set in South Korea in 1983 and is based on real events of the time. It was a turbulent period in the country's history, marking the peak of the conflict between the two Koreas. After the Korean War, two dictators came to power in South Korea who ignored demands for free elections, established a repressive regime, and were uncompromising toward opponents. Four years earlier, South Korean dictator Park Chung-hee had been assassinated, which led to the creation of a powerful North Korean army that was tirelessly preparing for military action.
