The movie i saw years ago....
it's South Korean anti-war movie Welcome To Dongmakgol (2005)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475783/
>> The story is set in Korea during the Korean War in 1950. Soldiers from both Korea (3 from North and 2 from South) find themselves in a secluded village. They confront each other at the beginning but bonds friendship in the end

Hmm, sounds similar to me....Is this a remake? loose adaptation? or what?
Can somebody explain to me?

thanks ~

It reminds me of 2 movies.
Being John Malkovich : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120601/
And of course the original Spanish Version [REC} was much better: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1038988/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Another movie I've felt have some similarity with is Joyeux Noel:

Into The White is based on a True story of WW-II
even the name of German soldiers were real
this thing actually happened back then
and their are many similar true stories where soldiers from opposite sides become friends in such situations
so its not a remake or a copy

Yes, even though it's most similar to "Hell in the Pacific," it's the same idea as "Joyeux Noel," which is an even better film. They really had to split up all those squads and post them to other areas as well as yell at them about fraternizing with the enemy.
