Drama about North Koreans.

Monika

I would like to see a drama about people who are living in North Korea. Or people who are escaping the North Korea and they are moving to South Korea. 


I am just finishing Crash Landing on You and I got totally obsessed over the topic of North Korea. That's why.

Kdrama with one main character as a north korean:

  • King 2 Hearts - probably not what you are looking for since this is more a fantasy parallel world with korean royal still liv8ng and North and south making frienda
  • After the Rain (drama special) - FL is a defector 
  • Blow Breeze - FLs father was a military official but when she became an adult tyey then ran away from N. Korea and became a defector. 
  • Doctor Stranger - ML is SKorean but was kidnapped and grew up in N. Korea before coming back to S Korea
  • Search - not much seen as a defector
  • Spy myungwol - FL is a N. Korean Spy
  • Spy - FL is a N. Korean Spy
  • Korean peninsula - FL is a N. Koreqn scientist on a joint research with S. Korea

Try Movies with Defectors

  • Poongsan
  • Crossing
  • Secret Reunion - not a defector more ofbspy who cant is 9n his own in Skorea
  • Journals of Musan
  • Red Family
  • The Net


I am also looking for a film called Goodbye My Love, North Korea. Its a documentary of 8 defectors who studied in europe and decided not to go back to N. Korea. I havent seen it yet. But it looked so interesting.
