I can't believe they brought back the same actor/actress for another horrible tourism ad on CNN/Discovery. This one is 10X worse than the first. Her pronunciation is atrocious.

They need to pull the plug on this, STAT.

I can't find a link, and trust me...that's a good thing.

We need a link. Somebody?

i don't know, i find the tourism commercial for australia much more annoying at this point. it's kind of creepy, the kid whispering in someone's ear- it reminds me of a horror movie. the whole mini-story approach (career-obsessed wife, marriage falling apart, australia will fix the whole relationship) doesn't work for me- the commercial doesn't even show any good, interesting pics of australia that would draw me there!

Korean tourism industry = major failure.

I just saw this - commented on it's idiocy on the "Korea trying to improve it's image" post.

Dear god - it's all grey except for the hanbok cloth - snow? maybe they are targetting tourist from Singapore - come to Korea! it's cheaper than Japan and easier than China! shop at dongdaemun -that's just fukking ridiculous- dokboki is disgusting and not spicy (hmmm...but paying exhorbatant Korean airline prices to fly half way around the world to eat half cooked dough in Ketchup sauce is tempting) - this ad is completely illogical and will attract absolutely no one. Truly pathetic - worse than tourism ads for Alabama.

It's so simple: Korean girls walking around attractive part of seoul in miniskirts, beautiful granite pools and waterfalls in Seoraksan, cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, a couple temples and monks, some coastline, a sumptous looking meal, and some more girls partying and voile - tourists will come! they should hire me......
