Asakura Keita, 35, is an all-around nice guy who is a primary school teacher from rural Nagano Prefecture. His recently deceased father had been a Diet (House of Representatives) member from Kyushu and Keita finds himself under pressure to inherit his father's position and seat. Although Keita has no political aspirations, he agrees to run as a Diet candidate for his father's seat to get everyone off his back permanently. Backing from some sharp political operatives sweeps him into the Diet, which leads to a shot at the Prime Minister’s position. Once elected, he finds himself bounced about and manipulated by the elders of the Seiyuto (Political Friends Party) as he tries to use his power to change things for the better. But can a small town former primary school teacher really effect the change he feels his country needs? (Source: MyDramaList) Edit Translation

My top recommended drama. It's about politic. If you don't like politics, no problem. You will like it because this is packed into comedy drama. I love how KimuTaku acts as prime minister. All dialogs has good speed like hollywood script. I can't find the boring scene, they are all important scene. I just want my government see it.

If with zero political experience you were to become the prime minister of your country what would you do? Would you go for the money or would you try to make a difference?

Altough it is a political drama ,the amount of actual poltics involved is quite low. Its not very hardcore. Its quite lighthearted occasionaly but takes itself seriously overall.
It starts out very well but unfortunately in the middle they decided to add a huge melodramatic block spanning 2 episodes which i found very boring. They put too much focus on the not romantic relationship of the main actor and the secretary which ruined the whole series for me. It just lacks content unfortunately, but overall it isnt a bad drama. So if you are interested in a human drama spiced with a little politics give it a shot.
