Great combination of Political Satire and Rom-Com.

নায়িকা প্রচুর সৎ! প্রচুর নীতিবান। এতই সৎ আর নীতিবান যে তার জ্বালায় কেউ শান্তিতে একটু অপকর্মও করতে পারে না! যেখানে অন্যায় দেখবে, সেখানেই নাক গলাবে, প্রতিবাদ করবে, সিভিল সার্ভিস অফিসে কমপ্লেইন করবে। এজন্য তার নামই হয়ে গেছে ‘কুইন অব সিভিল কমপ্লেইন’! এরজন্য প্রচুর ভুগতেও হয় তাকে। গ্রাজুয়েশানের পর থেকে এখন পর্যন্ত ১০ বার চাকরি গেছে তার। সোশ্যাল গাদারিং-এ কেউ তারে পাত্তা দেয় না। এমনকি ৯ বছর ধরে প্রেম করা বয়ফ্রেন্ডের সাথেও ব্রেকাপ হয়ে যায় তার। চাকরি, প্রেম সব হারিয়ে সে এখন বেকার, পথে পথে ঘুরে আর পার্ট টাইম জব খুঁজে!! ??
নায়ক পঞ্চম গ্রেডের সিভিল সার্ভিস অফিসার। অর্থ মন্ত্রণালয়ের প্লানিং এন্ড বাজেট সেকশনে কাজ করত। কিন্তু প্রচুর ঘাড়ত্যাড়া। সিনিয়রের সাথে বেয়াদবি করায় তার ডিমোশনাল বদলি হয় সিভিল কমপ্লেইন অফিসে। এখানে তার কাজ হচ্ছে কাস্টোমার সার্ভিস এক্সিকিউটিভের মত। লোকজন ইমেইলে কমপ্লেইন করবে, সে তাদেরকে কমপ্লেইনের উত্তর দিবে, হালনাগাদ তথ্য জানাবে।
নতুন অফিসে নায়কের জীবনে একটাই বিষফোঁড়া- কুইন অব সিভিল কমপ্লেইন!! তার দিন কাটে, রাত কাটে নায়িকার করা নানা অভিযোগের জবাব দিতে দিতে। সে টাইমলি বাসায় যেতে পারে না, খেতে পারে না, ঘুমাতে পারে না। এরই মাঝে নায়িকা একদিন নায়কের অফিসে ফ্রিল্যান্সের হিসাবে পার্ট টাইম জব খুঁজতে আসে। আর নায়ক সাথে সাথে তাকে হায়ার করে নেয়! তার উদ্দেশ্য ছিলো সিম্পল। নায়িকা বেকার বলেই দিন রাত এত কমপ্লেইন করার টাইম পায়। এখন যদি চাকরি-বাকরি কিছু একটা করে তাহলে এত কমপ্লেইন জানানোর টাইম পাবে না! সো, ইউ আর হায়ারড!! ??
কমপ্লেইন আসা তো বন্ধ হলো। কিন্তু এতদিন ধরে যে নায়করে জ্বালাইছে, এটার শোধ তোলা লাগবে না? নায়ক কারণে অকারণে নায়িকারে খোঁচায়, হুদাই প্যারা দেয়। তাও নায়িকা সব মুখ বুঝে সহ্য করে নেয়। কারণ চাকরির বাজারে আগুন। কিছু করার নাই! তাও শেষ রক্ষা হয় না। ডিস্ট্রিক রিপ্রেজেন্টরদের (আমাদের দেশের হিসাবে ধরেন সিটি কর্পোরেশনের কাউন্সিলর আরকি) একটা বিলের বিরোধিতা করতে গিয়ে আবারও চাকরি হারায় সে। রেগে-মেগে সে ডিসিশান নেয়- বহুত হইছে! আর করমু না চাকরি! রাজনীতি করমু এইবার! ভোটে দাঁড়ামু, নির্বাচন করমু! তারপর জনগণের ট্যাক্সের টাকায় আরামসে বেতন গুনমু! গেস হোয়াট, ভোটে জিতেও যায় সে!!! ??
প্লট টুইস্ট ১- নায়কের আবারও ডিমোশনাল ট্রান্সফার হয়। এখন সে ডিস্ট্রিক রিপ্রেজেন্টরদের অফিসের সেক্রেটারি! মানে নায়িকা এখন তার বস! তাদের মিটিং চলার সময় নায়ক চা-নাস্তা দিয়ে আসে! তাদের খাওয়ার পরে বসে বসে কাপ-পিরিস ধোয়! মিটিং-এর এজেন্ডা প্রিন্ট করে। মানে বস থেকে কর্মচারী হয়ে গেছে আরকি!! ??
প্লট টুইস্ট ২- নায়িকার ভোটে দাঁড়ানোর পিছনে একটাই উদ্দেশ্য ছিল- মাস শেষে নিশ্চিত বেতন। কিন্তু ওদের ডিস্ট্রিক কিছুটা আর্থিক সমস্যায় পড়ায় সব রিপ্রেজেন্টেটর মিলে ডিসিশান নেয়- এইবার তারা কেউ কোন বেতন নিবে না। নায়িকার আপত্তি কেউ কানেও তোলে না! ফলাফল- নায়িকা এখন ডিস্ট্রিক রিপ্রেজেন্টের, কিন্তু তার কোন ইনকাম নাই! সারাদিন সিটি কাউন্সিলে কামলা খাটার পর পেট চালানোর জন্য রাতের বেলায় আবার ডেলিভারিম্যানের চাকরি করা লাগে তার!!! ??
প্লট টুইস্ট ৩- টোটাল রিপ্রেজেন্টেটর ১৩ জন। টোটাল রাজনৈতিক দল ২টা। দুই পার্টিরই ৬ জন করে মেম্বার। নায়িকা জিতছে স্বতন্ত্র পার্টি হিসাবে। সে একা, ফলে তারে কেউ গোণে না। তার কথার কেউ দাম দেয় না। তারে কেউ কথা বলার সুযোগ দেয় না। তাও সব মাইনা নেয়া যাইত। কিন্তু তারে কেউ বেতনও দেয় না। এত শখ করে ভোটে দাঁড়াইয়া নির্বাচন জিতছে, কিন্তু তার অবস্থা এখন- ছেড়ে দে মা কাইন্দা বাঁচি!! ??
এতক্ষণ যা বললাম তা শুধু প্রথম ৪ এপিসোডের কাহিনী। এরপর বাকি ১৬ এপিসোড পর্যন্ত নায়িকার স্ট্রাগল, নায়কের সাথে তার খুনসুটি, ধীরে ধীরে তাদের কাছাকাছি আসা, প্রেমে পড়া, তাদের দুষ্টু-মিষ্টি প্রেমের গল্প আর প্রচুর প্রচুর পলিটিক্স! পুরো ড্রামা জুড়ে একটা জিনিসই অনুভব করবেন- রাজনীতিতে ভালো মানুষের কোনো দাম নাই, চিরকাল বন্ধু বা চিরকাল শত্রু বলে কোন টার্ম নাই, সবাই নিজ স্বার্থ হাসিলে ব্যস্ত। অন্যান্য হ্যাপি এন্ডিং-এর ড্রামা শেষ হয় নায়ক-নায়িকার বিয়ে দিয়ে। কিন্তু এই ড্রামা শেষ হয় নায়িকার শপথ নেয়া দিয়ে- আর জীবনেও পলিটিক্সে জড়াবো না!
আগে কোথাও কখনো এই ড্রামার কোন রিভিউ পড়ি নি। ড্রামা শুরু করার সময় তেমন কোন এক্সপেক্টেশানও ছিল না। কিন্তু শেষ করলাম চমৎকার একটা স্যাটিসফেকশন নিয়ে। হাতে সময় থাকলে দেখতে পারেন। নেটফ্লিক্সে পাবেন। অথবা ড্রামাকুল কিংবা কিসএশিয়ানে। জনরা- পলিটিক্যাল স্যাটায়ার কিংবা রোমান্টিক কমেডি। অথবা এগুলোর মিশেলে কিছু একটা।

It's an odd one and I'm all for it!

A quirky lead with her quirky family and quirky friends gets involved with local politics. The male lead is one tall, hot, adorable and shy labrador. Together they make a fun and engaging couple whose nuances are simply delightful. I'm a big fan of political dramas and light romcoms. This one is just right up my alley. I enjoyed the supporting cast immensely. Nothing too dramatic; the political conflicts were solid and more realistic than most dramas involving politics.

I like how the characters are evenly written. The FL is all colors of the rainbow. She's naive, hopeful, brave, and batshit crazy. The ML is not the typical cold and arrogant but with genius-level competency. He's reserved and competent but not the high-and-mighty type. We've met these types of leads in many other romcoms before but these are well-written and certainly well-executed characters. I also usually sigh when there is a childhood connection but this time it worked well into the story as it gave the relationship a friendly tone, a certain familiarity that only childhood friends have.

Love it!

one of the best Political-RomCom drama!

Into the Ring/Memorials is very satisfying and entertaining to watch, from the casts: (Nana) Goo-Se Ra, she is very talented actress and she deserves it! Goo Se Ra is so pretty and gorgeous on (any outfits, behaviors and hairstyles) she righteous and funny towards her dealing with life (she is my ultimate crush) and she has a sense of responsibility to defend things on her own and with her friends Han Bi and Woo Young plus Ja Ryong and they did very great in this drama. (Sung Hoon) Seo Gong Myung is very passionate and interesting man because he never settle things that might harm to any one, he is also responsible and good looking person even though he and his father Maeng Duk are in bad terms. The ones in the council assembly is very fun and also irritating (in a good way) because of many problems Mawon-Gu is facing yet they stick in connection (not in fair and just way) that might help the residents ain Mawon-Gu though their roles are well portrayed as well as Yoo Hee Su and Kim Min Jae.

Se Ra's parents are the best (very funny yet comforting funny the way they are communicating to each other) and also Maeng Duk, even though he is a workaholic person due to his plans and also the death of his second don and his eldest son (Gong Myung) can't handle him as a father). Se Ra and Gong Myung's romance in the drama is so natural (hope them to date) plus the OST's is very refreshing and well executed towards the different moods of every scenes. .This political-romance-comedy drama is very enjoyable and satisfying to watch because of fresh new plots and urge of stories. Hope to watch more dramas like these.

I will surely miss this drama (one of the best drama this 2020) and also Se Ra and Gong Myung. KUDOS TO "INTO THE RING/MEMORIALS" TEAM!

Light yet deep, full of laugh out loud moments

Changed my whole perspective on politics, election and legislative assembly.
This drama revolves around the female lead taking part in the election and how the real legislature actually works. The behind the scenes of such institutions taught me so much about how hard it is to actually work in these institutions and how much of a mind game this can be.
Starting from the fact that this drama revolved around goo sera, a woman in a political world itself sets this drama apart from the million others. The story is really well written. The humor and chemistry of the couple is so fkn cute.The male lead was no way conventional, he was caring, smart and kind. A hard worker to the core. He is a gem for sure! I really enjoyed almost all characters, they were all super funny and also had some meaning and realness in them.The show has a very different vibe.
The osts were all very good. I loved the ost sung by siyeon! Such a mood booster and motivator.
The first half of the show was so enjoyable that I binged alot but the middle part became a little boring which is why my ratings went down.I had to force myself to continue watching.
But regardless of that flaw, I enjoyed watching this alot, highly recommended if you wanna learn something, laugh out loud and experience some (alot) of pettiness of politicians lmao. This is a perfect drama to fit the romantic comedy genre.

Light hearted and amazing!!!

This is the only drama, that I look forward to weekend eagerly, even thought there are loopholes in it. Because it is light, fun, strong values and free of ex jalousies, and all the drama of separating a main couple. I have been struggling to find a love story that doesn't involve evil plotting of old ahjumas and second leads, but rather some sweet and bitter moments just like "Some In The Rain" or like this.

Its a must watch, Nana's improved a-lot, for Park I am seeing his acting first time, heard he was good in "psychopathic diary" but haven't watched it yet, but he is excellent choice for this drama.

GOOD FOR THE HEART

AAAAAHHH I LOVE THIS DRAMA SO MUCH! I got hooked quickly. I loved the chemistry of the two leads. Ugh words can't even express how happy I am with this series. I was hesitant at first because politics is tiring. But no!!! This drama is different! I also love how women are empowered in this series. Goo Se Ra (female lead) is the real example of strong independent woman. Gong Myung also shines in his own. They shine together without dimming each other's light. I love how they help a lot of people and how they give importance to the underserved. The story doesn't contain much plot twists but it really got me wanting to watch more. My jaw and facial muscles are tired from smiling. I just smiled for 3 straight eps can you imagine that. Ugh. They're so cute, I can feel how comfortable they are with each other. I hope the next episodes are as good as the recent eps (or even better). I have no complaints!


Ily Gong Myung (added to my crush list already hehe) and Se Ra (you're my girl crush ever since). Aaahhhh watch this!!! Don't miss out on this!

Refreshing Drama

The drama is lighthearted and slice of life, something we all need during hard times. The concept of local politics is quite refreshing bc I haven't seen it in a drama before. I enjoy the characters as well, they're somewhat realistic, especially Park Sunghoon's. He's not the cold, emotionless male lead that I usually see in romance dramas. He's more of an introverted, rigid guy, which is protrayed with realism. Nana and Park Sunghoon seem to match well as a couple, so I can't wait to see what happens between them. The directing is a bit wonky but I find the pros outweigh the cons.

Its a drama that is calm and relaxing so far

Its a relaxing drama because it dosent dive too much in politics and environmental problems too much but it touches the surface in a nice and fun way. Love both the leads and how Nana is taking on different roles. The male lead also isnt too nice and isnt too much of a jerk at the same time that will annoy the viewers so far.

Its exciting and keeps you watching even though there isnt much suspense and drama. The romance between the two leads would be nice as the teo leads seem to have chemistry off stage too

Nancy Drew

Yes! Goo SeRa is the Nancy Drew of Korea. If you into Nancy Drew kind of stories then I bet you will surely enjoy watching this. It’s a mix of investigation, romance and comedy all combined. You will laugh, get mad and be in awe all at the same time. Overall I really enjoyed watching this. And the Leads had Soo good a chemistry that would make you end up believing they have known each other for a long time. I scored rewatch value at 7 because I’m not the type to rewatch a drama. I hope you truly watch and enjoy it like I did.

Great Romcom

I liked it a lot more than I thought. It starts slow, FL is a noisy and stubborn person who can't maintain any job because she can tolerate injustice and she's famous for put like a million civilian complaints.
ML is a cold, stubborn, and inflexible dude who also has a great justice sense.
Once you know them and they start interacting the series starts to get better by the minute. Their chemistry was fantastic and even when the story it's a bit simple and you can expect most of the stuff that happens just the main couple make the series worth watching.

PD: Nana's laugh it's one of the fulfilling sounds that you can ear.
PD2: Small spoiler. When Nana waits for you to celebrate anything with her in your place and you ignore her as SML does in the first chapter you deserve nothing but pain.

Cinematically filmed with smart and sexy writing

The Director of Photography in this show is brilliant the framing, lighting and tonality is beyond compare. I know that it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the wide shots and low angles are absolutely beautiful. You can pick up the different lighting tones for each character within their environment, female lead has warm colors, offset by shots of the male character living in cool colors. There's one scene that beautifully has lighting in the background that reflects the party colors of the people in the room. It's so subtle, but creates such an amazing atmosphere for the entire show.
This show literally sets the bar for other dramas, and I doubt any will surpass it .The sharp writing, a strong female presence and wittiness, this Drama is one of my favorites from 2020. Worth watching for a tongue in cheek/cat and mouse political drama and intrigue full of thoughtful moments that don't get bogged down in melodrama.
The actors are also on point in every scene, and despite the romance being in the backseat, the playful chemistry is perfect. I've never seen Nana in anything before, but her facial expressions are pure gold, and her comedy timing is put to good use. Crazy amazing chemistry between the two leads, the like of which I have never seen before. This is a classic you'll want to watch over and over again.

GO FOR IT.

one of the best realistic yet fantastic drama ever. I’m in love with Nana y’all she’s such an great actress for a minute I forgot she came from the idol industry. this is my second park sunghoon’s drama (first obv being the glory) the duality these actors have is amazing (even mask girl comparison)

The story was totally different and worth watching. No one could ever hate it I watched this drama with a lot of expectations and it didn’t disappoint. The characters all had a meaningful (and annoying) sides of themselves which were remarkable. such an fun romcom !!
