I’m watching the Korean version of “Designated Survivor” for the first time. Based on the first episode, it’s…surprisingly better? It follows the story of the original show, but it felt like the Korean team had a better grasp of the story than the Americans. What I mean is:
1) Park Mu-Jin feels more thought out than Tom Kirkman. In this version, you just had a feeling that this guy should NOT be President. Which is not a bad thing, it’s a sign of good character development. Mu-Jin is a good man and extremely intelligent…but he’s clumsy, has severe anxiety, and has no political sense. Don’t get me wrong, Kiefer Sutherland was good, but I never really saw him as the helpless underdog (maybe it’s because I couldn’t see him as anything but Jack Bauer). In the Korean version, you just feel extremely sorry for this guy and that South Korea is screwed under his leadership.
2) The seamless transition to Korean politics. You just get a sense that the Korean team knew how to make their version of the show work. The move from discussing Muslim terrorism to North Korea/the Korean War doesn’t feel forced at all. While not necessarily an improvement on the original, it shows that the writers were thinking hard about how to handle the change in setting and politics.
(Side note: The fear that the Koreas are going to go to war is a LOT scarier than the turmoil in the original show, imo)
3) The slower pace led to better characterization, especially for Park Mu-Jin (see above).
Overall, great first episode.

Oh my god? I just rewatched episode one of designated survivor and:
PRESIDENT RICHMOND: There are tiimes when we make history...
and there are times when history makes us. This is a crucial moment for our nation,and America's colors burn brightest when we meet challenges head on.
For far too long... The wealthiest one percent have seen their fortunes only grow... While the rest of the nation lies in worry.
That needs to change.
HE IS TALKING TO KIRKMAN.
It's foreshadowing I'm
In just a minute, history is going to make Kirkman the second independent president of the United States. They are about to face a giant challenge.
Also when he talks to Emily he says "But at the end of the day I am no the president."

heyoo!! 🏔 ❤️‍🔥
🏔 hardest Fic to write?
Hmmmmm well Perpetuus (my current WIP) has probably been the hardest in terms of how much sheer effort I’ve had to put into the planning/the length, etc, but that’s really on @aceofwands and I for making things more difficult for ourselves 😂. The hardest Fic, mentally speaking, was probably The More The Merrier because, I’ll be honest, the Tom/Alex ship didn’t inspire my muse (as you can probably guess, the story was a gift for a friend). I think it turned out decent in the end though!
❤️‍🔥Favourite ship you have written about?
Gotta be McShep, hands down. Those two are my everything. They’re one of those ships that would work in any situation, any AU, etc. They’re just…perfect for each other 😍
