The division of the peninsula is a regular theme in K-drama and K-movies, but it is unusual for so much of a show to be set in the North – in both Pyongyang and the countryside – and defectors have complimented its accuracy.

Portraits of North Korean founder Kim Il-sung and his son and successor Kim Jong-il – father of the current leader – appear on the walls of every home, with propaganda slogans in the streets of the set.

“The series wouldn’t even have been planned and produced under heightened tensions,” Yun added. “Even if it was, it would not have been well received.”

The story opens with the beautiful heiress to a South Korean business empire being swept up by a tornado while paragliding, and crashing on the wrong side of the heavily fortified Demilitarised Zone.

Even more surreally, after she returns to the South the hero and several comrades slip across the DMZ and into Seoul undetected to save her from a villain.

South Korean fans found it humorous, but defector Han Song-ee was reminded of frequent power cuts in her homeland.

“Every home has a pedal power generator in North Korea,” Han said in a YouTube video. “I cried watching the scene.”

The series portrays North Koreans as being well-disposed towards the South. On a visit to a jangmadang – an informal but increasingly widespread and tolerated black market in the North – a vendor tells the heiress her company’s cosmetics are among her most sought-after items.

The Christian Liberty Party accused the producers of glorifying North Korean soldiers, who in real life were an enemy that “point their guns and knives at us”.

But the series has the crucial ingredients for commercial success of big-budget production values and a star-studded cast, led by Hyun Bin playing the officer and Son Ye-jin the heiress.
