Song Kang-ho portrays Uncle Samsik, who is both admired and disliked by many. He has this mysterious yet captivating aura surrounding him that leaves everyone who meets him filled with curiosity. His real name is Park Doo-chil, but he바카라s nicknamed Uncle Samsik because he makes sure to provide three meals a day for himself even during the difficult war period. (FYI, the word 바카라samsik바카라 translates to 바카라three meals바카라 in Korean). On the other hand, there바카라s Byun Yo-han who plays the role of Kim San. He바카라s an elite student hailing from the Korea Military Academy with big dreams of transforming the country for the better.

Set in the 1960s against the backdrop of the turbulent wartime in Korea, the drama revolves around the lives of these two men who are complete opposites of each other and have differing opinions even they face a crisis-like situation.

The teaser starts with different characters talking about the titular character and hinting at the challenges he will come across on his adventures. Throughout the footage, you hear people calling out for Uncle Samsik, with Jin Ki-joo바카라s character directly addressing him. There바카라s also a scene where Kim San wonders what Uncle Samsik means, and someone then explains the nickname. Towards the end, Song Kang-ho바카라s Doo-chil expresses his affection for the nickname, saying, 바카라Everyone calls me that out of love and respect. I love it so much, my nickname.바카라
