The reason Korea was successful was that it was still riding off the coattails of WW2 ie Most of the US GIs in Korea had combat experience from WW2 and the war media was still very controlled.

The Korean War began as an invasion of South Korea by North Korea and ended as a stalemate between China and the US. It was not a guerrilla engagement with revolutionary forces among the South Koreans. The Korean War and the Vietnam War bear little resemblance beyond being in Asia and communism.
