Great course covering the evolution of Korean politics from post-Korean war to modern day.
I would recommend this course to anybody who wants to learn about politics. Mr Chung in-Moon is a fantastic teacher and makes it seems like a story. I hope to be his pupil one day in real time.
I loved it, the transcript could use a little correction on some words.
