Then again, if a poorly disguised chick-flick masquerading as a "shocking cowboy love story" can do well, I guess anything is possible:

The production is meant to be an irony-free look at life in a North Korean prison camp that could change the way the North is depicted in South Korean entertainment.

Songs in the musical include "You are just like germs" and "All I want is rice". The producers hope audiences can find beauty in the misery of life in the prison camps.

Amazing to think the cold war is still dominating this small corner of the world.
