Oh man, "plane gets hijacked" is basically my worst fear come true. But you know what? Sometimes facing your fears head-on through a movie can be weirdly therapeutic. This seems right up my alley – action, adventure, a ticking clock situation? Plus, the fact that the pilot used to be a fighter pilot adds a whole new layer of intensity. I wonder how his military skills translate to this crazy civilian situation.

Korean film based on a real hijacking? Sign me up! I love learning about these historical events, especially ones that involve aviation. South Korea's role in the Vietnam War is something I haven't delved too deep into, so seeing how a fighter pilot transitions to a commercial situation during that tense period is fascinating. Also, the fact that the ratings are all over the place makes me even more curious. Maybe it's one of those movies you have to see for yourself.

Interesting to see a Korean take on the classic airplane hijacking plot. Hollywood's done it to death, but there's always room for a fresh perspective, especially when it's inspired by real events. The pilot's backstory as a former fighter pilot adds a unique layer – how does his combat training translate to a hostage situation on a civilian plane? The ratings disparity is intriguing too. Maybe it's a slow burn that builds tension, or maybe the action sequences are a bit underwhelming. Either way, it sounds like a film that will spark conversation.

I wonder how his training translates to navigating a commercial airliner with a bomb threat and fighter jets chasing him. It'd be interesting to see how they portray the technical aspects of flying under such duress.

Because of this film, I looked into the history of Korean fighter air pilots. It's a topic I've only heard mentioned in other K-dramas, briefly. It would be interesting to know more.

The training translates because if he has already been in a war situation fighting The Enemy, no doubt, even though it's a commercial flight, his “fighter” and survival instincts kicked in. ( That's just me guessing. )
