Among all Korean films released so far this year, the film is the second fastest to achieve the feat after "Along With the Gods: The Last 49 Days", which drew over 10 million viewers last month.

The mega war film, whose production cost was about W22 billion, depicts an epic battle in which troops fight against 500,000 invading forces (US$1=W1,117).
