The plot is thick and full of twists and turns. The actor who plays president is so good. This show exhibits extremely clever writing, loads of action, and tear-jerking moments. My favorite character in the U.S. version is Kimble Hookstraten. The Korean equivalent of her is the leader of the opposition party (Korea has a different government structure) and she is a main character with so many layers. What a treat! It was tough having to read subtitles while trying to appreciate the acting but you eventually get used it.

Well build storylines, not a plastic surgery face as president (Kiefer Sutherland) that continuously acts as an emotional roller coaster , but instead finally a strong acting president character!

Bravo!

I am watching both Korean version and the original American version just for comparison. I have to say I like the Korean version much better. American version is fast paced with tight plot, however, the Korean version is doing a much better job in developing character and connecting with audience emotionally. The performance of whole crew is excellent! Can't wait for the next episode!

I won't compare this series with the original one, but all I could say is that Designated Survivor: 60 days has been successfully executing the plot SO DAMN WELL!! The moment I decided to watch this was because I saw this series on my Netflix recommendation, I heard about the original one, but haven't decided to watch it, so I think I'll give this one a shot first. And if you find reviews saying "Designated Survivor: 60 Days is SO DAMN GOOD" well, they're not sugarcoating it! I had an extremely high expectation when I was about to start watching the first episode since I know what event will create the butterfly effect, yet, the first episode successfully made everyone who watches it shocked by how high this episode topped everyone's expectation BEYOND what they could imagine!

continuing to the second episode, it's only fair for me to tell you that the first episode was a great warm up for a roller coaster of emotions that you will experience in the second episode!

and I'd say it's been a while since K-Drama has such a nice plot, greatly executed, and wonderful underrated actors with splendid performances!

ah! and make sure to prepare some tissues with you, you'll thank me later!

My first impression this series, i thought is just Political Drama, but, after watch every episode, is not just about that. It's moral things, conflict and self-personality blend with amazing storytelling. Not just Political Drama, is people in people interaction. 👌
