As a researcher who knows a thing or two about this most isolated country in the whole world, the TAKEN producers, writer, director did an amazing job creating this - what could've been- another meaningless action based episode.
The authenticity of the North Korean foreign prison compound was so real and the writing accomplished rather simple mission to the viewers - 'The beauty' of our lives which we often take for granted.
In addition, I've never seen the most 'mother tongued' fluent spoken Korean on national TV. An actor who plays NK Guard (Kim/JiSoo's Father)'s Koreans are spot on! even JiSoo's (my Korean colleagues and friends are in total agreement)
So congratulations on the standing out episode and now I am hooked to watch more even Season 1! Thank you NBC.

Total Rubbish

I had to give it one star, it should have been ZERO.
Whoever the other two people are who have given 10/10, they must be part of the cast, crew or something. If they aren't they are satisfied with rubbish.
This series has got worse as it has gone on. Series 1 ok but got worse towards the end. Series 2, looks like they had to cut the budget. So, lets get rid of script writers and employ year 7 children to come up with story lines.
So very disappointing.
