Once Upon a Time in Seoul (Korean: 소년은 울지 않는다; RR: Sonyeoneun ulji anneunda; lit. 'Boys Don't Cry') is a 2008 South Korean[broken anchor] drama film starring Lee Wan and Song Chang-eui.[2][3]
1953, the Korean War has ended, but the fight for survival has just begun. Two 18-year-old boys, Tae-ho and Jong-du, live in a camp for orphaned boys, which is more of a concentration camp where everyone suffers from hunger, inhumane treatment and unbearable work conditions. But these two have a dream of a better tomorrow. Tae-ho is the one with wits and brains and Jong-du is the tough street fighter. Together they scheme to steal US Army supplies and recruit other boys to grow their business. But when they start to take business away from the local gangsters, their fight for survival turns into a war.
