What happens
My Way (Korean: 마이 웨이) is a 2011 South Korean epic war film produced, co-written and directed by Kang Je-gyu. It stars Jang Dong-gun, alongside Japanese actor Joe Odagiri and Chinese actress Fan Bingbing. Set before and during World War II, the film follows a pair of rival marathon runners, one Korean and the other Japanese, who befriend each other as they are conscripted across the war's different fronts. My Way is based on the story of Yang Kyoungjong, a Korean conscript who allegedly served in the Imperial Japanese Army, the Red Army, and the Wehrmacht before being captured by the United States Army during Operation Overlord. The film is one of the most expensive to have ever been produced in South Korea, with a budget of ₩28 billion (US$24 million). The film was released in South Korea on 21 December 2011, but performed poorly at the box office due to high competition and received generally mixed reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
