Bittersweet Ending | |
| The Battleship Island / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: the Korean Laborers managed to escape, but the only surviving major characters in the film are Moo-Young and So-Hee. Moo Young's mission to free Yoo Hak Chul was revealed to be pointless since he was in league with the Japanese and wants to flee to America with the Laborers' money being spent on himself and So-Hee has no family anymore since her father died while escaping. | |
