Brad if you only had an hour I would suggest going out for doughnuts and
coffee :-)
Otherwise there is no "secret" to Korean product prep. Basics first---get
everything moving properly and making noise where appropiate or not making
noise where appropiate.  Other than noise making I generally follow the
scenario
1. keydip
2. Jack to knuckle location
3. Spring tension, reps
4. Hammer line
 I find that attention to these 4 areas will cure 'most' of the original
details needing attention.  My experience in prepping Korean pianos is limited
to  Samick and this might not be true on other brands.  As for the rest of the
ingenious problems that they can find to endow a piano with, just take them as
they appear.
I wouldn't know how to set a time limit for this but an hour for the first
four steps should be sufficient (?).
