    I could not tell if that show was awful or some of the most beautiful propaganda targeted at NK I had ever seen.

      It seemed to me that the “beautiful propaganda” as you call it… and I can’t really disagree with you… could be an olive-branch extended from the SK film industry to NK audience (because we know NKs smuggle and watch SK dramas… even a soldier in the show does that).

      So idk, I like to always approach things pessimistically AND optimistically… then compare the two perspectives. In this case you’re the critic and I’m devil’s advocate.

      Will it make a difference on the large scale? No. Will it delight and sway a few NK citizens toward reunification? I’d guess probably. But who knows.
