Brilliant, amazing, marvelous, masterpiece!!
A+++ Acting by all cast, especially Hwang Jung Eum. I have become her absolute fan after this stunning performance. And Ji Sung and Bae Soon Bin are amazing as well. And the story is on another level.Whenever i don't know what to do or whenever i am having hard time, i turn to this drama. I have watched it over 10 times!! You need to watch this drama in order to know what i mean. So many emotions delivered with so much passion and conviction, this remains my most favorite drama till date!

I pushed myself to watch 19 episodes hoping something will happen. But nothing happens!
Story had some potential and could have been a good drama with good direction but alas! Here there are just series of small scenes, one after another, which does not keep viewers engaged. Bad acting, dark backgrounds and slow pace makes it even more boring and hard to watch.
There are just too many details about how everyone is trying to win over president by coming up with new ideas to concur one another in order to be next president.
Pil ju is one smart person where he can guess all moves well in advance and everything occurs according to his plan. And he has counter plans ready in case anything goes wrong!! I mean common!! And in all this, viewers just look dumb, just looking at screen and trying to understand what is important and what the hell is happening. But nothing does. And even if something happens, people do not react at all!!! They just quietly cry or show little anger on their face of try to quietly hurt themselves! Bad acting and almost similar characters make it worse. Only different character is president’s mistress and she is super annoying!!
There are multiple cliffhangers but they just drop out of nowhere with suspenseful music and viewers can not connect with those as both characters and story feels very distant. Lot of dull moments highlighted with long close up shots of everyones reaction and sad music. Many times suspenseful music is played to keep viewers interested but nothing happens. Bad bad direction!
I wish i can find something good to write about this drama but i can not. I also wish they had one strong female lead, who is not just angry, crying and being pathetic all the time or who does not need help of another man to get things done!!
I can barely give this drama 4 stars!!

Only good thing about this drama is Nam goong mins’s acting.
Omg! Pure torture! Drama turned out to be worse than what i expected. Average acting and incompetent police make bad writing even more obvious. Lot of pot-holes and lot of stupid characters. Other than main lady police officer, non of the officers can solve any case on their own without the help of a girl- who sees scent.Writers have added lot of irrelevant scenes in the end to increase the length of the drama. Actors explain every little thing in the drama as they are doing it as if viewers are dumb.
Other than Nam goong min’s acting there is nothing in this drama. He is amazing and only smart person in the drama and on the contrary Shin se kyung is bad as usual. She is same in every drama. Park yoo chun is average. I have only seen one of his other dramas- rooftop prince. He was okay in there. Similar roles.

Slow paced, realistic but too dark and sad
People will never get married if they see this drama. I had high hopes from his one but this was too much. Drama is realistic for most part (excluding few incidences) but it is very slow paced and portrayed in a very negative manner. All people are either divorced, having trouble with their other half or single. Here friends are also not loyal with each other. Complete madness.Plus point is acting, All actors have done a great job. So if you enjoy good acting and if you are an adult ready for makjang then give it a try.
