Chefe de Gabinete

This is a must watch show on Netflix. The leads are great as politicians and the show is fast paced.

The show was suspenseful and dramatic just fine. I would only give it a medium rating because watching this old man playing the M. O. J eat in like every other scene was distracting and DISGUSTING. Who's idea was that and please fire them forever. Yuck. Totally took away from potentially powerful scenes. So i guess I'd just say great writing (other than that the genius main character would just leave game changing evidence in his desk drawer. Not believable even for an idiot.) Great cast. Bad directing. Ew made me sick watching him eat.

It's a good series, though pretty fast-paced and with a lot of characters and relationships to track. There's an ungodly amount of double-crossing and backroom-dealing from both the good and bad guys-which is hardly surprising, since this is a political drama.

Lee Jung-jae is always fantastic, and he really nails the morally grey protagonist role here. Even when his character, Jang Tae-jun, is doing the shadiest of things, you can't help but root for him. Of course, that's essentially the argument his character makes-that to defeat scumbags in power and bring a positive change to the world, one must also become powerful-even if means using questionable tactics to do so. There are moments in this series that will have you questioning just how far this man is willing to go to get his job done. I won't tell you how that all works out for him, but it's a really great journey full of twists and suspense.

An enjoyable watch with a solid cast.

The plot, which is complex and full of twists and turns, provides an excellent insight into the cut-throat world of politics. I would have given 5 stars to the series if the romantic relationships had been a little less shallow, which would have helped the viewer care more for the "good" characters. The actors are all excellent, with a special mention for Shin Min-a and Lee Elijah, whose roles are unfortunately a bit subdued. In that sense, there is an old-fashioned feel to the show that could have been averted by giving women strong storylines rather than using them as accessories caught in the flow of events.

Lee Jung Jae plays a chief of staff trying to change a corrupt system with the help of the beautiful Shin Min Ah, an assemblywoman of the opposing party. In this well acted drama he is faced with the dilemma that to change the system he has to stoop as low as the people he despises. Well paced with a story that holds the attention and an excellent supporting cast.
