“A country isn’t land. It’s the promise we refuse to bury.”

 Plot: 1907—after the army’s forced disbandment, Hanseong breathes under bayonets. Eugene Choi (Lee Byung‑hun) returns under a new flag and stricter orders; Go Ae‑shin (Kim Tae‑ri) leads a courier ring that turns poetry into passwords and ink into gunpowder. The trailer cuts like a telegram: snow over Gwanghwamun; a train lantern blinking Morse before an ambush; a hotel banquet where crystal chimes signal a raid; rooftops stitched by rifle fire; leaflets lifting on monsoon wind; a ring hidden in a bullet. Allies fracture, editors vanish, and a sealed warrant ties love to treason. With annexation looming, the pair face a brutal choice—save each other, or save the story future Koreans will tell.

 Verdict: Lush, bruised, and pulse‑sure—epic romance threaded through resistance, with Lee’s iron resolve and Kim’s flint‑bright fire striking sparks in every frame
