Bichunmoo Delta Mac vs. Tai Seng...
THEY ARE THE SAME THING. 
In case this wasn't already mentioned - I purchased the Tai Seng version thinking it would have more features or some such thing - but no - it's the same exact Delta Mac DVD - same packaging and everything, but with a gold Tai Seng sticker stuck on the case under new shrinkwrap. I'm let down a little because the Delta Mac DVD's transfer is not widescreen... not very much anyway. Too bad. Just to let you know in case you were wondering. I picked it up for 20.41 shipped from CDNow as a special - it's more there now. I'm selling it sealed at half.com. Hope to break even.

foxdvd,
There are no actual cuts specific to the Deltamac DVD. It's the same version as the Korean version. The difference is that it's fullscreen instead of widescreen (well I guess you can say they cut about 1/3 of the picture). There were cuts made to the film but they were done to bring the running time down to a more acceptable length for Korean audiences. They will not be restored or included on the Korean DVD.

just checked at dddhouse, the Delta Mac release is DTS. What the hell, why would they go to an effort of making it DTS and full screen, that doesn't make any sense.

All home video releases of Bichunmoo are cut compared to the original Korean theatrical print. Koreanfilm.org details the cuts in postings on the forum.
