This drama is may be only enjoyable to Japanese people, especially those who know country side. The election in Japan has totally different character than those elsewhere as described. It is not about ideology or policy, people vote for the "known face""known family resulting in many 2.3. Generation parliamentarian, like Abe or Kishida. A pathetic version of election/democracy and this drama does capture the funny and sad side of such situation of democracy in Japan.
The characters are well acted by veteran actors and episodes are close to reality, yet very funny.
The writer is very famous script writer in Japan and I hope his humour will be more appreciated abroad.
