Lost and found

The 1997 incident in Section 21 in DMZ is a remarkable history and the soldier back from the South are celebrated heroes. However, their story isn’t the truth and neither are they real heroes.

The lost military camcorder that filmed the entire process was found and recovered footage proved the celebrated hero is the biggest scam. Lee Hyuk (Yoo Sung Joo) killed his fellow soldier to keep the real cause of the 1997 incident under wrap, the survived peers became under his control.

Will the special search team catch the unknown being and recover the truth to the public?

This drama felt like a super long movie instead of a drama. Overall it is a good drama with unexpected twist I love!
