[Sanghoonia]

[iamtherik]

lol if i had the face from 2:28 I'll surely spend all north koreans money on a face surgery D:!

[gbtv2009]

9.10 best face ever

[Theatlsou]

I like how they still use microphones mounted on the desk instead of the ones that they clip can clip onto the presenter's suits. you know the kind the rest of the world has been using sense the 1980s

[Bp323]

@Theatlsou And looking down reading notes instead of up at a teleprompter



[racevedo100]

[10burnzac]

Are you american?? Cause if you are, your prob the only american in that country at that time. You've got balls, but I wouldn't want to lose mine in that wasteland

[helvete1991]

That soap is like the north-Korean version of a Belgian one we have here :D

[022MeAndThem]

[ogastasii]

[reyarenas7777]

Poor people. They are forced to watch this shit

[reyarenas7777]

The laughter is so ironic, so fake :/

[Peaceinlifenowar]

I feel sorry for these people. the Look on their faces is that of Distress. Fake. Hate.

We had similar TV. in Libya. Exaaaaaaaaaaaaaaactly the same.

now its changed/

[97vikrid]

11:50 Am I the only one that thinks that he sounds a little pervert?

[spiliada]

@97vikrid I think you're a little bit exhausted of everyday running :-)))

This is not Little Red and the Wolf.

Just keep on relaxing...:-)))

[SomeUser9753]

Ahahahaha animals. why being atheist and rebel agianst God if u hate America. See America is satan's land so believe in God that's all.

[neoarcadezr]

@SomeUser9753 hail satan ....;p

[spiliada]

We would like to read english subtitles en ce qui concerne the North Korean "Neighbours"!

Please, those who can speak this langauge, would you be so kind and help us?

What exactly is the story?

[gyokszi]

@spiliada If you think, that it is like ,,Neighbours" (my first thought as well:)), I think, that we are from the same country :) But, just in case, I write in English :) The story interests me as well, maybe they also have Taki bá and his cab :D

[spiliada]

@gyokszi Oh sure, at least they' ve already got a Vágási family...:-)))

A nő mondjuk kevésbé harcos, mint Dzsuditta; megadóan leeresztett -engem is elkeserítenének azok az ízléstelen virágtartók a ház előtt...

[ThaMistahFox]

You really went to North Korea? How? Why?

[3d3a3v3i3d]

awfull.... but still better than Twilight

[Sukansons]

Interesting. How NK TV was started. How its began? In witch year?

[PatchesRips]

2:14 Could not possibly get any cornier.

[hehehe08]

People, this tone is quite standard in North Korea. As a totalitarian state, it is quite obvious that the illusion of supreme power must be maintained by the mass media. It's one of their most direct ways of communicating with North Koreans who have television sets (a very small percentage of N. Koreans actually have enough means to watch at least one of the three channels on television.

[BWCmike]

its not hard to accept a crazy belief set when its the only belief set that exists in your world.

[lmali1985]

Hasn't the Dear Leader invented auto-cues yet?

[Partisan84]

There is 3 TV channels in DPRK, but only 1 works everyday. The other 2 only works on the weekends and only for Pyongyang.

[revan2091]

you cant take trips to north Korea as far as im concerned unless your like CIA or a high ranking official as far as im concerned

[hehehe08]

@revan2091 Actually, it's now easy to take trips to the North: some travel agencies actually offer the package -- for a hefty sum of money, you can have a 5 day stay in Pyongyang: the electricity is cut off at 9 pm (sometimes 10), and tourists must give their passports to the tour guides. They are not allowed outside of the hotel, and can only visit with very strictly built schedules and specific sites.

But why give money to this government? I prefer swallowing my curiosity.

[Mr3star1sun]

1970s - 1980s shows???

[hanrinch]

consider this was from stalin era.....

[Mr3star1sun]

it feels like im in george washington era watching this

[urbansketch94]

she speaks like a eastern asian congressman; they speak with exaggeration on their words. she's probably forced to speak like this to make north korea seem "superior" to others.

[ebonyazarcon1982]

is she angry???hehehheheh

[JPRizal2000]

communism at its finest. only stupid people like communism.

[14j3ketlgds]

@JPRizal2000 OK I like communism, am I stupid?

[obenrob]

And this is why america isnt some sort of evil war nation that just kills people like many think it is like in middle east. When america battles wars for other then they do so the nations dosent turn into undemocratic dictatorships. People who act like that takes there democrati in their countries for granted. If america wasnt helping europe during WW2 the whole world could be a national socialistic dictatorship.

And before i finish, im not american, im from danish.

[aonbyte]

@obenrob Usually wars are fought for economic gains.

[imahitchcockfan]

You are watching Anglia Television.

[ubudog32]

They are stuck in the 50's.

[HorizonsOfOli]

perfect example how communism ruin countries....

[SQ842]

To be honest this feels like tele in the 1980s

[Henzoelgreat]

In the wee drama thing, I noticed the adults don't seem to be wearing their little Kim Il Sung badges - I may be wrong, but I always thought they were obligatory!

[TheAdrianpritcha72]

@Henzoelgreat I wondered what those badge things were!

[hehehe08]

@Henzoelgreat The badges are obligatory outside of the home. The inside MUST be adorned with a picture of their "Great Leader" and one of their "Dear Leader". And I'm guessing they are going to need to have one for the son, too. Maybe they were not shown on the two men when they were outside because of their coats (?), and the wife and children were inside, so they did not need them.

[MrSmigul]

guy at 2:20 looks like santa clause without beard :D

[DeltaOmegaAlliance]

KBS, MBC, Yonhap? Why the fuck are they listing S-Korean media outlets!?

[buckyhermit]

@DeltaOmegaAlliance I'm guessing South Korea said/did something that North Korea didn't like: I kept hearing 남조선 (namjoseon – their name for South Korea).

[LWPW0673]

@buckyhermit I would agree with what you said...in fact the anchor even names the three main broadcast stations in SK (MBC, KBS, SBS).

[buckyhermit]

@LWPW0673 I just figured it out... I just heard 연평도 "yeonpyeongdo" at the beginning. That's the name of the island that North Korea shelled a year ago, so I'm guessing they were talking about South Korean networks "distorting" the reports of the attack or something.

[eddief32]

@buckyhermit That sounds about right, she also mentioned the name of the South Korean news agency, Yonhap in there too. I'm only learning Korean right now, so I may have misheard, but it's likely you're heading in the right direction.

[gexonas]

this must be a joke

[Flint925]

I'd kill someone after 5 min of this crap.

[BigAmzz]

No wonder why North Korean's always look depressed. WTF is this sh1t?

[14j3ketlgds]

@BigAmzz It's news.

[badrobie86]

Cant wait for next episode of this telenovela

[mozpiano2]

What are they saying?

[cristixav]

@mozpiano2 my Korean is tentative, but she seems to be speaking abt.the dismantlement of the Yongpyong nuclear plant cooling facility (which occurred earlier this year) and mentioning South Korean&Japanese media. Sort of:"Despite lying, hostile reports of...we carried out this dismantlement as a gesture of good will, bla, bla". Also, if it was an official declaration, NK announcers are instructed to read it in this loud, harsh voice (know that from Koreans)

[76kitt]

She MUST have an Adam's apple.

[mustang6172]

I don't see what th-MUST... CRUSH... CAPITALISM!

[amooballer]

loooooooooooooool.  are they trying to sound heroic?

[2Exotic2Fly2High]

I feel like i'm watching tv from 1800's

[CombativeMind]

@2Exotic2Fly2High 1800's... The joke itself is not even funny.

[blueahmed1984]

@2Exotic2Fly2High loooooooooooooooool got the same feelin'



[eleal1893]

@2Exotic2Fly2High because they definitely had TV in the 1800s lmao

[frbjoernLA]

@2Exotic2Fly2High Was TV really like this when you were watching it in the 1800's?

[neoarcadezr]

@2Exotic2Fly2High naaah it feels more like the 70's 

[AwesomeKLee]

what's up with her pronunciation?

[TheAdrianpritcha72]

She needs to soften her delivery a bit!

[HueyRocks23]

@TheAdrianpritcha72 - It's like watching Jane Velez-Mitchell

[jsnovais1000]

Wow!

—Without commercial propaganda...That´s my favourite channel!

—Don´t turn it off!

[yugilord]

It still manages to be slightly better than ITV

[bakaboy2000]

OMG. I watched the whole thing. My weed kicked in and I madeup the plot of that tidbit at the end. LOL! That story went all over the place!

[oasotam]

dude, that makes me sick! it realy does! afffffffffff, jesus....
