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.
