Save the Villain : Despite being enemies with Tatsuo, Jun-shik refuses to let harm come to him from warning him about the incoming Soviet forces to sparing him when in a sanctioned fight to saving him from being tortured by his vengeful Evil Former Friend Jong-dae to finally tending to Tatsuo's wounds on the Eastern Front.

The idea for My Way was birthed from a World War II photo. It shows a small asian man clad in a German army uniform. It was reported that the man survived a 12, km journey across the battlefields before ending up in France. He was a Korean.

The film is said to be “loosely” based on a true story of a Korean man who survived a 12, km journey across the battlefields; ending in France.

In the movie’s production notes, it is reported that the film is inspired by a photograph of an East Asian man found among German prisoners after the Allied’s victory at Normandy.

We think it is the picture below.

The story behind the photograph moved and shocked My Way’s director Kang Je-kyu after it was highlighted in a TV documentary in South Korea.

During the Busan International Film Festival, Kang said: “I received the original scenario four years ago.

I then watched a three-episode SBS documentary on the same subject which made me unable to sleep. So, roughly two and a half years ago, I made the decision to direct the movie myself.”

The film&#;s budget is estimated at a whopping RMmil and it took Kang three years of writing and eight months of pre-production before shooting began in Oct

Never My Fault : Or more like "Never My Country's Fault," as while Tatsuo is nobly disgusted at getting a Disqualification-Induced Victory when the judges accused Jun-shik for cheating rather then beating Jun-shik fair and square, that does not stop him from mistreating him under his command in the Japanese Army, likely not just for his grudge against him for beating him, but for misblaming him for forcing the hands of judges who happens to be his own countrymen to stoop such lows in order to help him win. Jun-shik runs back to warn the Japanese forces, while Shirai sacrifices herself to shoot down an I Ishak , but Tatsuo refuses to order a retreat.

The chance to work with Kang again sealed Jang&#;s decision to film another war movie.

“After Taegukgi I thought I couldn’t do another war movie. What else could be said about war?&#; said Jang. &#;When I learned Kang Je-kyu would direct the movie then my decision came easily.&#;

My Way challenged Jang to express himself in Japanese.

&#;Joe Odagiri helped me a lot,&#; said the year-old about scenes with the Japanese actor. &#;Odagiri is an actor who thinks deeply and has firm thoughts as an actor… so we are on the same wavelength.&#;

Meanwhile, Odagiri also thinks highly of his South Korean co-star.

&#;While acting together I could tell he was also considerate. I felt we understood each other well.

&#;If I were a woman I would have a crush on him,&#; said the 36 year old.

Opera star, Andrea Bocelli, lends his voice to the film’s soundtrack, To Find My Way.
