add_photo_locations_from_google_history
Python script to add missing location data to photos in your Apple Photos library based on your Google location history. This script can be run stand-alone to add location data to the photos in your library or as a post-processing function for osxphotos to add location data to photos upon export. (by RhetTbull)

Geolocation on photos taken in South Korea on iPhone
If geolocation truly isn't working in South Korea (maybe Apple has some agreement with South Korean government?) it's almost certain that any Google app you have is still tracking your location and reporting that to Google (unless you've turned this off). In that case, you could make sure you open a Google app at each location to track the location then when you get back you could use this script of mine to grab the location data from your Google history and insert it into the photos. (This is a bit of a hack and assumes some level of comfort working in the command line)

Looking for workflows for gathering family photos and backing up
I wouldn't keep the originals and the Photo library on the same disk just in case something happened to that disk. Also, it's important to know that if you store a Photos library on an external disk you can't move that Photo library to another Mac due to the way Apple now stores photos (to be "more secure"). I have developed a hack to get around this but I don't recommend using except as a last resort.
