What is the Hexbearist line on Shin Sang-ok and Choi Eun-hee anyway? Did Kim Jong-il just like movies? Was it all an embezzlement scheme like Wikipedia says North Korea says?
Blowback covered it a bit in a bonus episode for season 3 and not really knowing the ins and outs I can say for certain, Kim Jong Il fucking LOVED movies. He was a kino child through and through.
Such a fun subject for a bonus episode ruined by the gross lady they interviewed for it, talked about going to North Korea like she was going to a zoo observing the funny creatures doing weird things.

They were trying a lot of stuff, and the kidnapping schemes are arguably less brutal than a lot of the tactics used against NK. A lot of these schemes make more sense when you put yourself into the mindspace of a country under assault of decades of shadow war. But I will say that the whole Shin Sang-ok and Choi Eun-hee situation seems at least a little bit harebrained. My read on it is that Kim's love of movies maybe lead to some motivated reasoning when hatching this plan.

Yeah, I can imagine with that season they maybe had to take who they can get but I was very dissapointed.
Where are the bonus eps? My podcast app only shows the regular s3 episodes and bonus content from previous seasons.
Downloaded to my phone. I pirated them when they came out. Dunno the link now or even if it would still work.
:deeper-sadness:
The bonuses for s3 were kinda not great anyway.
Your comment was five days ago but if you're still looking for it this is the drive link with the bonus episodes:

Pulgasari is a fantastic film and you should watch it.
