There have been a number of serious films and TV series about the real-life Military Demarcation Zone between North and South Korea, but the recent comedy film 6/45 is showing the lighter side of the situation, while also proving that both sides have a lot in common – especially when a billion-won lottery ticket is on the line.
The film follows South Korean soldier Park Chun-woo (played by Ko Kyoung-pyo) who discovers a first prize lottery ticket worth 5.7 billion won (RM19 million) while stationed at the demarcation zone.
His dreams about the such a life-changing sum come to an abrupt end when a chance gust of wind blows the ticket towards the North Korean side. The ticket is picked up by North Korean soldier Ri Yong-ho (Lee Yi-kyung) who decides to keep it.
