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

Some people says that political series are bore.

This one, as Borgen, can be a perfect introduction.

The plot, which is complex and full of twists and turns, provides an excellent insight into the cut-throat world of politics. I would have given 5 stars to the series if the romantic relationships had been a little less shallow, which would have helped the viewer care more for the "good" characters. The actors are all excellent, with a special mention for Shin Min-a and Lee Elijah, whose roles are unfortunately a bit subdued. In that sense, there is an old-fashioned feel to the show that could have been averted by giving women strong storylines rather than using them as accessories caught in the flow of events.

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.

One of the best political thrillers I had watched in recent times it keeps you guessing wat happens next till very end

Hope they will return with season 3
