What's scarier than an opponent and an incompetent leader? It's 'sick' people.

It's been a while since I watch a piece that engaged me throughout the whole episodes. It's keeping me on the edge of my seat. The next thing I realized was that every time I wanted to click the next episode my heart was beating so fast like I was about to see my date.

The emotional rollercoaster watching it scene by scene was so priceless. It's full of a hooking point point and so thrilling. The build up was just so good. They really knew how to play with the perfect tempo.

It's not that it's flawless. They still left some questionable rooms but I don't want to say that it's a plot hole. If anything it's like some information delay in order to carry the plot they're trying to pursue.

My favorite part, the political quarrels between Ji Jinhee and Son Sukku was so breathtaking to see. It struck right through my heart as I was enchanted by their acting. It showed this solid synergy and phenomenal chemistry between them. What was that? Oh my God. I always acknowledge that they both were excellent actors. But the acting duet was just on another level. The kind of acting that made me speechless.

The drama was so well delivered that we are able to translate why a character did what they did. At first I really love the nerdy professor and mad scientist version more than when our male lead tried to do politics. Although I didn't quite share the ideology with the opposite party I began to understand the sentiment that giving the highest authority to a clueless leader was so dangerous. But more stories unfold and more interesting things served to build such epic every character development.

Overall it's not a light drama but it's not that hard to swallow even for me as someone who's not into politics. I'll say it's quite easy to follow the story but at the same time it's very intense. The well written script and a good direction playing a brilliant role in delivering the situation.
