Movie talk : Return 2 Base

[WARNING : Spoilers ahead, Hotness overloaded]
Holy that was so cool. Rain may be in military right now but he won't stop dominating the entertainment news as he returned to the big screen for Return 2 Base in August as Tae Hoon the youngest member of the special acrobatic air force team, Black Eagle but got kicked out to the combat team as he showed off his awesomeness up in the air. He is a kid after all you guys, why so serious? Although it was a fatal action,his awesomeness was put into good use as he was assigned a 'Return to Base' mission to rescue a team member who got stranded in North Korea after a not-so friendly training with North Korea.



The stunts and the effects used in this movie was unequivocally realistic that you may want to think twice, is this a Korean movie? But not just the effects, the storyline itself was nothing less than impressive. There were few scenes in this movie that got me simply amused besides Rain being dashing all suit up in air force gear. Oh god, kill me now. 

1. Taehoon's Top Gun moves


Now I know why Rain was being humble with his flying ability, it's because he's so good at it. Humble people usually has mindblowing abilities and Rain did exactly just that. 

2. The Korean armies ignore the Americans' order 
South Korea is a well-known ally of the Americans but not so much in this movie. The Return 2 Base mission was conducted without the permission of America and I was personally impressed when the Defence Minister said "It's our country. We protect our own country" as this is not simply what we can see in other action combat movies because it's usually made by the Americans. This indirectly speak out for what the Koreans want, the ability to manage their own country without others barging in.  A quick reminiscence of King 2 Hearts anyone?

3. Taehoon eliminates the North Korean's target
The action scenes in this movie are endless as it is after all an action combat movie but my favorite scene has to be when Rain directed the missiles back to North Korean army base camp and everything exploded to pieces. When the NK's army commander who was at the explosion scene dies, I secretly did a fist pump. It's the ideal way to kill a person who masterminded a mission that kills and destroys peace between two countries. But again, I'm hoping that one day this two country will unite or just be on good term so that we both can live peacefully.

Although romance is not the main genre of this movie, the very few scenes they have on was irrefutably impactful. The love between Tae Hoo and Se Young was adorable, Dae Seo and Yoo Jin was touching. The deliberation of each the characters were not strong yet strong enough to make you remember. If you're planning to watch this drama, you better steel yourself for some serious action and not to mention, impactful death.
