I didn't watch this movie because like you said, I don't think I am the target audience. I would probably feel…
I think it would help to be a teenager whose frontal lobe hadn't quite developed. I did laugh out loud when the FL was in a full blown emotional rant and got hit upside the head by a soccer ball. I yelled out, "Thank you!" Recalibrated her right on the spot. 😄
For the Spoilery comment: They were packing in anticipation of a new assignment to either Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan.…
Yeah, I figured the embassy would be protected. The family could have filed a suit with Martinique/France for compensation for the extra year in jail, but it wasn’t their fault she lingered there that was on the embassy’s back.
And the reassignments felt like movie magic karma though I do hope they got busted down for bringing shame on the department due to the documentary revealing their failures.
and it turns out Jong Bae had cosigned the loan with predatory interest rates. < and this is why you DO NOT…
Thank you, dear Kate. 🥰
Desperation causes people to do desperate things at times. The embassy’s inability to follow through on the most basic things caused her situation to be so much worse. It was their responsibility to send the translated trial transcripts to the Martinique court in which the head of the drug gang admitted in court she had been duped. Something they failed to do which would have resulted in an early release. They also claimed no Koreans lived in Martinique so she had no access to an interpreter. Turned out they did have a record of a Korean living there. Netizens found her and she was also fluent in French and acted as an interpreter. The embassy’s inaction could have left the wife in jail for over a decade. 😳
I rewatched last night due to my lapse in memory and I'm glad I did, yet picked it apart, unlike upon first viewing.…
I didn’t have a problem with the English as it is often used as a bridge language, a third language many people have had some experience with. I’ve seen it used as such on reality shows where actors don’t speak the other’s language much. They use a combination of English and words they know. The diplomats likely studied some English in school and the Taliban Chief due to the nature of the enemy he was fighting, a valuable tool to utilize.
The concerns I had over Qasim was that he was played for comedy. The comedic half Korean character in brown face and curly wig didn’t set well with me.
This is why I rarely venture out of Kdramas into other countries. It's taken this long to know who is, and who…
A lot of times I’ll search actors before I watch a film. I waited until afterwards and got a nasty surprise. 😒 He had repeatedly bad behavior and was always given more chances.

I wish all sites had a prominent "leaving soon" section.
And both of them could be frustrating. The first phone call she was able to make and they just yelled at each other for 3 minutes. 😑
