History YMMV / TheFrontLine

* TrueArtIsAngsty: However, despite the TooBleakStoppedCaring above, it is still considered a WarIsHell masterpiece for the bleak and tragic tone.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: This film is one of those bleak WarIsHell depictions with AnyoneCanDie. Everything goes FromBadToWorse, the enemy are DirtyCommunists, but the [[HeWhoFightsMonsters South Korean military aren't any better, with them having to resort to committing war crimes to get the job done]] and the CO is a ChildHater towards the war orphans stationed at their camp and he himself considered a BrokenPedestal and an EvilFormerFriend to the intelligence officer sent to investigate the unit committing war crimes and finding out how he TookALevelInJerkass. [[spoiler:Finally, the film concludes with a KillEmAll with the intelligence officer being the SoleSurvivor.]]

* TheWoobie: All of the soldiers and the war orphans, especially the amputee who is mercilessly subjected to [[ChildHater Kim]]'s TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Again, WarIsHell.

* MoralEventHorizon: Kim Soo-Hyeok crosses this when [[spoiler:he killed two South Korean officers in for the sake of his men's survival]] and unleashes a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to a war orphan with her arm gone, this shows how he dipped down into HeWhoFightsMonsters.

* TheScrappy: Kim Soo-Hyeok, due to his corruption, even though its for good reason, and his NeverLiveItDown KickTheDog moment where he is revealed to be ChildHater who lashes out TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards a war orphan female amputee who innocently asks a question if human can grow their limbs back, even though he is being a JerkassHasAPoint as humans indeed are unable too, it is uncalled for to insult her as an armless freak reducing her to tears, making it seem like it was out of misblaming the war orphans for the unit's latest problems. You cannot blame his friend Eun-Pyo [[TakeThatScrappy giving a]] WhatTheHellHero to him for that. [[spoiler:When Soo-Hyeok is [[TakeThatScrappy killed]], he can be viewed as an AssholeVictim, even though his final moments is an AlasPoorScrappy moment for him.]]
