1940年代后期,出身望族的李彤(潘虹 饰)、黄惠芬(李克纯 饰)、雷芷苓(肖雄 饰)和张嘉行(卢玲 饰)四姐妹远渡重洋,来到美国留学。49年元旦,她们在学校联谊会上,用歌声抒发对祖国亲人的思念和祝福。不久,李彤因家中巨大变故离开三个女友,谁也不知她去了哪里。李彤的男友陈寅(濮存昕 饰)苦等无着,与惠芬和其他一对新人准备结婚。李彤突然出现在了婚宴上,她近乎疯狂的装扮和举止令朋友们惊诧,原来她已和一个已婚男人同居。时光荏苒,李彤后来又和一个南美商人混在一起,并因酒后滋事关进拘留所,保释出来后,她在惠芬女儿莉莉生日后不久,又不知飘向何方去了......
面貌清秀的宋志元(姜东元 饰)是来自朝鲜的谍报人员,在代号441的老间谍影子的带领下,他们闯入首尔一幢公寓,刺杀了本国叛逃人员及其一家。期间,他们遭遇韩国安全部门的追捕,一番激烈枪战过后宋志元等侥幸逃脱,但他被上级认为有叛变之心而从此弃用。另一方面,行动的失败导致韩国一方的行动队长李仁奎(宋康昊 饰)遭到革职处分,他只得开设侦探所,靠收钱追踪逃跑的越南新娘养家糊口。 不久,金正日和金大中实现历史性的会见,朝韩双方局势缓和。六年后,李仁奎在某个越南人工厂偶遇宋志元,他希望抓住志元及神秘的影子赚大钱,而志元也想利用仁奎洗脱自己叛变的罪名。两人别有用心住在了同一屋檐下,随着了解的加深,他们的想法渐渐发生改变……
Massive machines require engineering extremes. The massive man-made satellite, commonly known as the International Space Station, hurtling around the Earth at 27,600 km an hour, has been a temporary home for humans for the last 20 years. The biggest land vehicle on earth, a bucket excavator titled Bagger 293, that can move 240,000 cubic meters of dirt each day. Innovation has always meant building bigger, faster, taller, longer and stronger than anything that came before. We’ve seen them in dramatic visual fashion. But how do these actually work? What sets each machine apart. What big ideas drove its evolution and what limitations did this machine overcome? What forces was it built to withstand and where is the breaking point? Using CGI and expert insights, we ‘strip down’ the design of some of the world’s unique colossal machines and reveal mechanical secrets that not only made them work, but also changed the world in a big way! Each episode explores four incredible machines, linked thematically. From sea and space faring designs, to mega airborne, mining and industrial machines, we’ll break down what they can do as well as key inner mechanics and materials that make it all possible. Dynamic archival footage featuring; slow motion, aerials, and time-lapses get us past the ‘caution’ tape and up close and personal with these compound monsters. CGI provides breakouts and blueprints and a look at hidden mechanisms. Adding expertise of structural, mechanical, chemical and forensic engineers to help reveal what’s at stake when these colossal constructions are put work, and how all the pieces come together to make a big impact.
