Korean Vietnam Vet Story-line + Romance With Leads Limited
13 October 2022
Didn't realize when I started the series it would have a Korean Vietnam Viet story line. Actually was interested when I saw that as something some of us in the US forget about others that fought as well. I personally don't know that much about their "real" history, and I did ask my husband if he had any experience himself with them as he is a US Vietnam Vet from the same time period and he did have vivid memories. He was sergeant of allied shops and the Korean shops were located next to ours. He had a good relationship with the sergeant there and they would trade. Korean wanted American cigarettes and the Americans would get spent shells from him where they would make ashtrays for the officers. They had a very good trade relationship. He also mentioned that in their field he felt the safest when the Korean Tiger Co was near as the enemy would fear them because the Koreans were highly against communism and were very capable of handling things (my only comment). Saw reviews about historical accuracy and the comment I have about that is that this series is for entertainment, not a documentary, and entertainment usually embellishes things & stories, it is not fact vs. A documentary which would be. Does a producer have an obligation to wait for all Vietnam Vets to die off before doing entertainment stories? Not sure because I am not a vet myself maybe I don't have the right to say. I did have a bad feeling when I saw an entertainment series done on 911 that wasn't factual either so I guess it is a good debate to have. As far as the romance with the leads, there were many hints throughout about the feelings, etc, with leads and not completely happy with the ending - perhaps the ending suggested a possible second season 2 coming.
