Tourism promotion - how not to do it

dangermousieI had half an hour to waste and a copy of Haru: An Unforgettable Day in Korea, the half-an-hour promotional short done by the tourism ministry to promote tourism.
Ummmmm.
1. You will get attacked by a missile and barely survive.
2. You will get stalked by a creep who will take your pictures without your consent and drag you off your train because he knows better than you do where you ought to be.
3. If you are a small child, you will be kidnapped by a color-blind boyband (if I were the elderly, I'd never let these kids go with these guys. They look like guys who tell you there is candy in their van).
Except for TOP who looks like a thug assassin. A thug assassin who stole my grandmother's sunglasses.
4. You will get a delicious-looking meal, but only if you are the Chef's girlfriend, so unless you are prepared to date cooks, I suppose you ought to stock up on jerky.
5. You will get to see murder attempts.
6. You will meet some stylish assassins
7. Their stylishness will make you feel better when they kill you.
8. Or maybe you will just lose your expensive, deeply meaningful jewelry.
9. And finally, you will go jogging. I suppose it's better than the rest, but I can do that without paying for a plane ticket.
This was most bizarre pointless tourism promotion ever. Seriously. There was barely any scenery. Unless they are implying that if you come to Korea you get to pal around with Hallyu stars, which I doubt.
