Program Aim

Over 2,000 incidents; over 11,000 victims; about 750 billion won in damages. This is the record of maritime incidents that took place throughout the year 2009.

Diverse maritime incidents including minor ones such as fishing boat crashes and sea crimes such as illegal trafficking, defections and immigration incidents, break out in the sea around the nation surrounded by the sea on three sides.

Other incidents included North Korean incursion past the NLL (Northern Limit Line), the shelling of a South Korean island by North Korea’s seaside artillery batteries, sea terrors and pirates appearing in the sea of southeast Asian countries.

This drama features stories about the Korean Maritime Police who are guarding the Korean territorial waters, which is 4.5 times larger than the land territory, with a fifteenth of the manpower of the regular police on the land. It depicts many spectacular images and various maritime incidents that have rarely been seen on the TV screen.

It gives light on the people who rescue the lives of others in life-threatening environments. They overcome terrible hardships to rescue the survivors of accidents in the sea.

Their superhuman efforts and sense of justice is extraordinary, but they simply consider it a part of their job.

What is the meaning of the ocean for those who jump into the hellish scenes of accidents every day?

The program features the works, loves and lives of the seamen who are at once innocent, wild, hot and tenacious.

The story revolves around the people who regard the sea as their living base and raises an alarm regarding selfishness and the trend to debase human life that is prevalent in our society.
