Original and funny

Originally I avoided this show because I disliked the storyline. The idea of watching a drama that revolved around a bunch of backstabbing politicians sounded boring. But since the ratings were high and the reviews said it was light and funny I decided to go ahead and watch it. And I’m glad I did. Even though the story does revolve around politics they don’t overdo it with angst or go too crazy. This drama does a great job of getting you all worked up over a situation but then easing the tension with some great comedy. I also liked that nothing was drawn out too long and whatever got you upset gets resolved in a reasonable amount of time. This is a true romantic comedy that stays true to its genre without ever turning into a melodrama.

As for the romance, it’s woven throughout the drama and it’s sweet but it’s never the main focal point of the show. There’s lots of real kisses and skinship and this couple has some amazing chemistry. It’s not a really lovey dovey romantic show though. But since the romance isn’t the main focus there are some great benefits. There are no love triangles, no evil parents opposing the couple, and no breakups.

It’s just a really cute funny drama that focuses on the little people in this world and shows how they can accomplish so much in their lives if they just put their mind to it and try a little harder. It also exposes the deep corruption in politics and shows just how far some people will go to in order to maintain their powerful positions. But despite the deep message, the drama stays surprisingly light funny and sweet. It’s a definite must watch in my book.
