[K-Movie Review] R2B: Return To Base

R2B: Return To Base was a great movie to watch.

I watched this movie on a Sunday night with my family and they all enjoyed the movie.  This movie stars Jung Ji Hoon (best known as Korea’s World Star Bi Rian) as well as actress Shin Se Kyung. Also a lead in this movie is Yoo Joon Sang.

Other notable actors in this movie is Kim Sung Soo who starred alongside Rain in the 2004 drama, Full House, actress Lee Ha Na who starred in movies Fair Love in 2009 and Best Chef in 2007. Also, actor Lee Jong Suk who is known for his role in TV drama, Secret Garden also made his appearance in this drama.

The movie is about 110 minutes and it’s full of action. The movie also has amazing romantic scenes by the lead actor and actress Rain and Se Kyung. I really enjoyed this movie because not only was it filmed perfectly, but the movie didn’t drag on and the actors were best for the movie.

Movie “R2B: Return To Base” is best for both Action and Romance lovers. I recommend this movie to everyone.

Synopsis:

They have 7 minutes to pull off the biggest airborne mission in history.

South Korean Air Force pilot Tae-hun is kicked out of his elite show team the Black Eagles and demoted into a combat unit after pulling a dangerous stunt at the air show. On the first day of his transfer to Squad 20, he has a run-in with Cheol-hui, the unit’s leader. Tae-hun’s rebellious swagger and Cheol-hui’s buttoned down discipline come into conflict almost immediately. Nonetheless, Tae-hun easily befriends the rest of his new squad, including ace mechanic Se-yeong, whom he immediately falls for. Tae-hun sets his sights on winning the annual Air Force flying competition to topple Cheol-hui, impress Se-yeong, and get back to his beloved Black Eagles.

One day, a routine reconnaissance mission for the squad is upturned when an enemy North Korean jet enters South Korean airspace signaling a desire to defect but ending in the untimely death of a team member and the disappearance of another behind enemy lines. Tae-hun and Cheol-hui are tapped to lead a daring and unsanctioned mission to rescue their man down in the DMZ and avert a nuclear disaster! 7 minutes will be all they have to complete the impossible R2B mission!
