Sorry for the title. Vatanim Sensin is a Turkish TV series, while Amsal is a Korean movie.
Both are set during the early 20th century and deal with liberating the respective countries from the occupational forces controlling them.
I want to get back into reading again and wondered if there's any books out there with a similar theme and set in that time period. The time period isn't a deal-breaker for me though.
Vatanim Sensin is about an Ottoman soldier who seemingly switches sides to the Greek army who have occupied Turkey. However, he is actually working undercover for the forces who want to liberate Turkey. It deals with the story of how modern day Turkey came to be and the fight for that to happen. It also focuses on his wife and children. His daughter, Hilal is also a freedom fighter who falls in love with a Greek soldier.
Amsal (Eng: Assassination) is about a rag-tag group who are brought together to assassinate a Japanese official (Japan was an occupying force of Korea at the time) and a Korean official who played a role in betraying Korea and handing it over to the Japanese.
I realise most people probably don't know the stories and I honestly suck at explaining things 😅 so I hope the info here is enough to get an idea of what I'm looking for 🙏😅
