Let me preface this by saying I could be biased... I decided it would be a good idea to watch this during the election season (you know, lighten up the time with some comedy in a relevant situation). No. Not funny. It just depressed my with how accurate it was. So I could very well watch it again and love it... but not until I get past the trauma.
But let's break it down.
Story: It's a circle. It's a constant reflushing of the same plot and that doesn't change until the end. The angst gets reused, the conflict gets reused... it's one giant circle.
Acting/Cast: I actually did enjoy the performances put in by both our leads and the supporting cast. But unfortunately the motions they were put through only allowed them to stretch themselves so much, so the drama suffered. Kim Soo Young was admittedly better than No Min-Young here, but no major complaints.
Music: I suppose it was adequate, nothing special really. And adequate gets a 7.
Rewatch value: Unfortunately the laughs are the sort that lose their funny after the first watch. So don't expect to giggle the second time through. Don't expect to giggle at all if you're electing anybody anytime soon.
In the end I might still give it a go if you're into politics... or if you know how to use your ff button wisely.
