An okay comedy, but superficial romance

The opening to episode one did not really draw me in, but I pushed through. If you watch this then you have to come to terms with that it is super unrealistic, the first episode sets the fantasy/cartoon like tone - surviving a tornado, running through a minefield unscathed, elite soldier missing his shot, north Koreans soldiers super friendly to southerners etc (all in first episode).

So much of the plot is stupid coincidences, and Seri being stuck in NK seems convoluted, every plan failed. When she does get back to Seoul then all the tension is pretty much gone, and the show just devolves into North Koreans tyring chicken and random south Korean stuff.

The show is supposed to be a romance, but Seri comes off unspathetic (especially when back in princess mode in Seoul), but why are Seri and Captain Ri a good match? Dan & Albert had a much better romance and chemistry going on, whereas Seri and Ri looked more like friends or siblings.
There is a scene when they are in Seoul and Ri asks Seri about her interests and she replies "You don't need to know that type of stuff, I told you already, your face is my type"..., yeah she told him that in the first episode, but this is like episode 13 or something and she is pulling out some shallow response like that? So she is spoilt and gets her way with him because he is weak willed & he is handsome.., soudns like an awesome romance..

Ri is also too perfect, like he apparently a musical genius, all the women like him, his is rich, comes from a family of high status, he plays an instrument, he reads a lot, he is tall and strong, kind.., he made noodles *fresh* for her in episode 2 or something. Dude cooked fresh noodles and usedthe spaghetti/noodle machine. He is some unrealistic Nietzschean Korean superman. If they made a season 2 then it's probably entail Ri building space probes, colonizing Mars, solving the world's energy crsis, and bringing world peace, oh and raising a successful family or something. He came off too fake and unrelatable, give the character some flaws beyond being weak willed.

Music was okay, but this is 2 months later or something and I can't remember any of the songs. The songs were pushed too much too, I get they are probably going to sell the songs to the audience or something, but sometimes I heard the same songs over and over, and they'd just have these long musical parts where nobody spoke; those were dull.

Comedy aspect was alright, you have the annoying and sometimes funny housewives of the village, most of the funny moments for me were Ri's second in command, Dan's mother and uncle, and Dan and Albert.

It's cool if you enjoyed Ri and Seri, but for me I'd much rather have watched a show focusing on Dan and Albert, they felt more organic, not forced like the main couple. They were cute, sucks the writers killed that off, not sure if it was to insert some sadness or to stop them outshining the main couple.

The sad backstory of being left on the beach as a kid for a few hours was not really that traumatic, so that plus not getting on with her family means she'd suicide? Eh.
Why is the ending they meet each other only in Switzerland? It's strange, Ri could easily buy a house outside of North korea and meet up anywhere, Dan was Studying in Russia for ages so clearly people are allowed to leave NK easily.
I felt emotional maybe in one scene when Man Bok (the rat) told Ri how his brother died or something.
Overall a decent show, but you are best going into this approaching it as an unrealistic and over the top comedy show than anything else.
