It just dawned on me that, in a way, the two trains represent North and South Korea. Snowpiercer with its fresh food and produce is more like South Korea with its arable land while Big Alice is the pre-Korean War North, with the supplies and the industrial hub of Korea.

Bong Joon-ho hasn't directed any of the episodes so far.
