It’s best bet looks to be The Red Sea Diving Resort, a biographical film starring Captain America himself, Chris Evans. The film also starring Haley Bennett and Michael Kenneth Williams, follows Mossad agents who work to rescue and evacuate Jewish-Ethiopians to Israel from Sudan in 1981.
Designated Survivor: 60 Days follows the main storyline of the original format, but has been adapted to feature more of the Korean reality. It is a story of a politician, who suddenly ascends from the position of Minister of Environment to President, as an explosion at the National Assembly kills everyone in the Cabinet who is ahead of him in terms of the presidential succession. Park Mu-jin is a scientist-turned-politician who struggles to fit in politics. Park is the acting president for 60 days, and during this period, albeit inexperienced and unwilling, he tries to uncover the truth behind the attack.
