    A series that you can't seem to stop watching. Always have the urge to know who outwits the other.

    Excellent Political Thriller

    It can be impossible to follow a complex plot in a foreign language with unrecognisable names. But persevere into episode 3 and the political shenanigans start to become clearer. If you stick with it you will be rewarded.

    Many of the strengths of Korean drama are on display here: deft plotting with twists and turns galore; superb acting by all involved; and high production values.

    The moral conundrum at the heart of the story serves to raise this a notch higher in my estimation. Highly recommended.

    Such a fun watch

    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.

    On the verge of meh-ness...

    Although it's politically themed drama but it's a watered-down surface-level politics and the excessive overdramatization didn't fit its theme. Repeating the exact same dramatic flashbacks multiple times throughout both seasons further highlights my point. It ended up relying on these melo moments rather than having a better written political drama and a more engaging dialogues as you would expect from a good political drama to have. What also didn't fit its theme is the male lead constant overreacting and overacting for his role. The romance of the main leads and the pair up of the secondary leads were all out of place. On the other hand, the OST was nice, it reminded me of Comrades (2010). The drama is okay if it was your first political drama, can serve as an easy introduction to the genre.

    Great political thriller!

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