The scene of Jeon Sang-doo (Yoo Jae-myung), the chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, announcing that the 10.26 presidential assassination case is a murder for the purpose of civil war through an official press conference, predicts a difficult trial process in the future. "Soldiers must obey orders."It creates tension as Park Tae-joo, who conveys his own firm belief, Jeong In-hoo, who defends that a decision by order cannot be a civil war, and Jeon Sang-du, who tries to control the outcome by conducting the trial behind closed doors, unfolds.



The scene of the so-called note trial, in which secret notes are delivered to judges, and the appearance of Jeong In-hoo being dragged from the courtroom clearly shows the process of the unfair trial, arousing anger among viewers. In particular, as the trial continues, the image of Jeong In-hoo struggling to save Park Tae-joo, not to win the trial, creates a heart-wrenching impression, and at the same time, it is unpredictable what other new aspects will unfold before them, raising expectations for the movie.
