Park Chung-hee is most well remembered for massive infrastructure and business investment, beginning Korea's modern trend of concreting over everything they can get their hands on. In the surprisingly large portion of the population that considers him the best president and ignores all his dictatorly crimes it's one of the things they focus on. To be fair, part of why he is remembered fondly by so many is Korea has had an awful series of incompetent, corrupt asshats for presidents. They're stupendously bad. Park Chung-hee was vaguely competent and since he had full information control nobody knew about his corruption. Park Geun-hye was not actually any worse than a normal Korean president, the fact that she was ousted was kind of a big deal. The open question is, was she the first to be ousted in such a way because of her incompetence, or was her incompetence particularly unacceptable because she was a woman? Korea's still a very sexist society, the only reason she won was conservatives who miss the old dictatorship days hoping she'd bring it back. Nobody knows the answer.

I feel that you're kind of underrating how bad "letting yout cult leader plunder the government" is on the corruption scale

The elevated highways are pretty interesting ways to route traffic. The model isn't complex enough where people will take "wrong turns" or something and have to backtrack from the elevated highway, is it?

So the game based around mass transit and movement of people does not account for traffic?

Or, as I like to refer to it, drivers in this game aren;'t enough of ASSHOLES like their real life counterparts. Traffic engineers have mentioned that, despite its failings, it still generally follows the rules that actual traffic would.

I am loving that this let's play is also a South Korean history lesson. As someone that has spent their college career studying China (and a little bit of Japan), I am glad this is giving me a chance to become more knowledgeable about Korea

I think the red and blue roofs have been seared into my eyes. I keep seeing afterimages of those homes.
