미드 ‘ Lie To Me’ 에서 오류를 발견 !! (Season 1- episode #4)

오류 , 찾아봅시다 !

What was on the scene earlier?In the son’s wedding of the Korean Ambassador, there was a unidenti-fied information that someone is watching a chance for an attack. Carl Lightman, the chief of ‘Lightman Group’, and his crew were called for discovering the prospective criminal. During the investigation, they found one suspi-cious suspect who had dubious facial expression. Further elaboration will be explained with following captured scenes.

At the moment, the suspect was holding a water bottle in his hands.

The contained material was found to be a petroleum liquid.

And they concluded this event as scheme of a criminal with planned actions to protest America against North Korea.

However, this scene was inserted by the director in the intention of exaggerating the fact that Korea is a divided country and presenting North Korea as a ruthless country employing terror in celebration in detoured measure.

The Lightman crew came out with the fact that there were numerous self immolations in Asia, depicting Asia as a notorious place to live.

In particular, they depicted South Korea as one of the countries who have large number of self- im-molations, indirectly indicating South Korea as savage country.

In the 4th episode of ‘Lie To Me’ season 1, the intention for choosing Korea as a back-ground of the episode was thankful for inter-ests. However, through the depicted scenes emphasizing Korea as a distinguishing divided country – sadly, the truth- and describing North Korea as a country committing numer-ous crimes which poses a threat to other countries. Not only American dramas, but other several media portray North Korea as an international perilous country possessing a potential threat to all over the world.

Though it is true that North Korea do threat other countries when it comes to national safety and security desir-ing for power, the primary revision which should be made from the me-dia is lessened description of exag-geration of North Korea. Not all of the North Korean has evil heart and wish to be a international threat to others. From this incorrect depict, people in overseas believe the majority of north Korean is hazardous, even though it is definitely untrue story. That is why this error should certainly be revised as soon as possible.
